Last week, the undefeated BYU-Hawaii women's volleyball team dominated Grand
Canyon – winning in three straight games. But this match produced more than just a victory. This particular victory provided Head Coach Wilfred Navalta with his 500th career win.
"I wasn't keeping track," said Navalta, admitting he really didn't know how close he was to reaching the milestone. "After we played, we went out to dinner as a team and the players and coaches made a special presentation, including a nice letter from President Shumway and Coach Wagner (Athletic Director) congratulating me in my 500th victory. That's when I found out."
