TGIF, Fellow Spartans. It was 10 years before any member of the current SJSU volleyball squad was even born the last time the Spartans beat Hawaii.

That all changed last night.

🔼 The Island Life. Morgan Graves recorded her first collegiate double-double Thursday night in the longest match in school history as the San José State volleyball team outlasted Hawaii, 3-2 (25-23, 26-24, 25-19, 25-13, 15-13) in a thriller.

Graves led all Spartan hitters with 13 kills and added 10 digs, while also contributing two aces and two blocks for SJSU win.

The match lasted three hours and five minutes, the first Spartan match to ever exceed three hours.

The win snapped a 42-match losing streak to Hawaii, dating back to September 14, 1993, when SJSU won 3-2 at The Provident Credit Union Event Center.

🔼 Path To The Pros. The 2025 NFL season is underway and once again SJSU alums will be lacing them up on Sundays.

Two former Spartans are on 53-man rosters as the season gets underway with Josh Oliver (Vikings) and David Quessenberry (Rams) both ready to kick off their NFL seasons.

Nick Nash (Falcons) and Elijah Cooks (Eagles) are both on practice squads as the year gets underway.

🔼 Watch With Us. Join us this Saturday, September 6, at the Official San José State Football Watch Party hosted at the AC Hotel San Jose (350 W Santa Clara St, San Jose, CA 95113).

Kickoff at 9:00 AM as the Spartans take on No. 6/7 Texas live on ABC.

Don’t miss the chance to cheer on the team alongside fellow alumni, students, and fans in the heart of Downtown San Jose!

Special Giveaway! Missed the Sharks Night limited-edition hat at the home opener?
