Although new to the Triton Men’s Volleyball League, the Big Digs feature several experienced players who have competed in the league with other teams. Their roster includes three former UOG players, including former UOG Men’s Volleyball Most Valuable Players Joe Mafnas and Isaac Limtiaco.
 
The Tritons entered the season with several new players and limited preparation time. After trading points early in the opening set, the Big Digs pulled away and cruised to a 25-14 win. UOG showed improvement in the second set, staying within reach throughout, but ultimately dropped the set 25-20. The third set was again lopsided, as the Big Digs closed out the match with a 25-13 victory.
 
With the win, the Big Digs opened the season at 1-0, while the Tritons fell to 0-1.
 
In the opening match of the night, the Andersen Bombers faced Adahi, a new team in the Triton League. Adahi came out strong, winning a tightly contested first set 25-22 behind several powerful attacks.
 
The Bombers responded by taking control of the match, winning the next three sets 25-17, 25-16, and 25-18 to secure a 3-1 victory and assert themselves against the league newcomers.

Andersen also opened the season at 1-0, while Adahi dropped to 0-1.
