LONG BEACH, Calif. – Redshirt sophomore outside hitter Lizzy Markovska had double digit kills but Cal Poly volleyball's 2023 season came to an end Friday after a 3-0 (25-17, 25-18, 26-24) loss to No. 2 seed Hawai'i in the semifinals of the Big West Championship in Long Beach.
Markovska led the Mustangs (21-11) with 12 kills, hitting .286. Redshirt junior outside hitter Tommi Stockham finished with eight kills while redshirt sophomore outside hitter Annabelle Thalken added seven.
Hawai'i (22-8) had four players with double digit kills as they hit .297 as a team. They were led by sophomore Caylen Alexander's 15 kills.
Tied at six in in the first set, a 4-1 Hawai'i run gave the Rainbow Wahine an 11-7 lead. From there, the Mustangs were not able to get any closer than three as Hawai'i went on to win the set 25-17.
Tied 9-9 in the second, Hawai'i went on a 5-0 run to take a 14-9 lead. The Mustangs got back within two at 16-14 following three straight points. The Rainbow Wahine came back with three in a row of their own to push their lead back up to five. With Hawai'i up 22-18, the Rainbow Wahine scored the next three points to win the set 25-18.
Cal Poly started the third set getting out to a 7-2 lead. Hawai'i then went on a 7-1 run to take a 9-8 lead. The Mustangs later took a 20-17 following a 4-1 run before Hawai'i responded with a 4-0 to take a 21-20 lead. The teams traded points from there until, tied at 24 apiece, Hawai'i recorded back-to-back kills to win it 26-24.
The Mustangs have plenty to be proud of in their 2023 season.

It also included 10 five-set wins, including five via reverse sweeps. They had three players earn All-Big West honors, all of whom will be back next season.
