Hawaii 3, Fullerton 0; Happy 23rd to SSC, Sibley out
Arena opened 23 years ago tonight. sellout vs. San Jose State
Sibley not medically cleared. My guess is that it is concussion protocol
Gong still out with the flu.
Believe there is at least one recruit in tonight.
Looks like Casteneda near the Spectrum corner

At 6:30pm, there is a mass of fans waiting to get into the arena. Any reason? Seems that they are short staffed tonight.
1. wonder if delay is expected?
has the broadcast started anyone?
1. don’t know. got here before 6 and it was the usual wait because gates hadn’t opened.
They haven’t started streaming the pregame show yet, just showing the splash screen.

6. yes. if you manually scroll down the stream you will see its last night riverside game?? what?
They had an event on Ching field that included free tix to the game.
Is Casteneda committed to Hawaii already?
The other Big West match
UCSB def. CSUN, 25-17, 25-23, 25-19
8. Now I’m getting a message that the event didn’t start yet. Hoping it will start up at game time.
Same lineup as last night
Koelsch, Burns, Granato, Iosia, Kahakai, Castillo, Maglio
Wouldn’t be surprised to see Greeley tonight. she was moving well in warmups. had been slowed by flu-like symptoms.
anyone found a way to fix the streaming? i sent an email to bigwest.sidearmstreaming saying its last nights game
13. I also emailed Sidearm Streaming and tweeted Spectrum Sports, but no reply from either.
14. finally fixed the streaming. reload the page
wahine slowing down again…. smh
Fullerton challenging whether UH had a touch. before it hit the antenna.
Challenge good. Ties it up at 12.
Koelsch with the kill. UH up 15-14 at the TTO
Fullerton challenging whether there was a touch on Schneider’s attempt
Fullerton 2-0 on challenges. there was a touch. it’s 15=15
Two hitting errors by the Titans puts UH up 20-18. TO Fullerton.
Titan hitting error makes it 23-20. TO Fullerton
Granato blocked when hitting from the right. It’s 23-22. TO UH
Koelsch blocked when hitting left. Titans up 24-23. TO UH
wahine blowing this if they dont push comes to shove
25. as if push comes to shove really was necessary for na wahine against this team?
Maglio ends it 27-25. Congrats to Kahakai, reaching the 1,300 dig mark.
haven’t we’ve seen this many times before–Wahine just going through motions (no energy and maybe lost interest–could also be thinking about next week)!! I’m going to get flack , but have said it before–current starters are not cutting it! Maybe time for coaches to get nasty!!!!
Kill by Maglio makes it 4-1. TO Fullerton
28. flak or not. wahine was just lackluster all year. no energy at all.
#28, I agree, tried to post. I said they were lethargic, same as your no energy, going through the motions in set #1
They are starting to rev up in set #2; thank goodness,
It’s 13-6. TO Fullerton
UH challenging whether ball landed in on the block.
Block was in UH up 15-6.
Maglio ends it on the service overpass. 25-11
i like faith ma’afalas serve – simple, accurate, and decisive!
forget jump float, even jump top spin isnt necessary
much better set 2 … go bows!
nice serving and set distribution by iosia. maglio again having a very good night.
UH up 7-2. TO Titans
UH up 12-6. TO Fullerton
think someone needs to let robyn know to have her wahine stand and serve instead of jump floating to serve aggressively – most of those hit net anyways. just stand behind at the line and hit it high over or stand far back behind the line and hit it hard over.
that should of accuracy and even frighten cal poly. i saw someone let norene know that she needs to sharpen her ‘nasty serve’ as there were others competing for her nasty serve
Howling in on the right. it’s 18-11
Okino with the ace. ends it 25-14.
rika must be excited – ‘all i had to do was to serve an ace and win.’
42. add to that. need some more aces versus cal poly next week.
nasty and ‘nastier’ serve included.
Tonight seems like it was a good tuneup for the roadtrip. There were some crazy saves; Kahakai is going to be hard to replace. Like seeing the ball going to Maglio with more frequency. Ma’afala brings such energy to the court.
Happy Anniversary to the Stan and mahalo to the staff who take such good care of it.
5.3 kps & 2.17 bps. Hope Emily Maglio is nominated for Big West POW.
robyn promises to practice serving for 2 hours. someone should let her know – serve aggressive? = jump top spin serve. aggressive not necessary? = mortar serve by stand behind the line or far behind it and hit it hard and straight. just like faith ma’afala, kendra koelsch (years before), and even shar tai manuolevao back then.
I saw the recruit and a lady supposedly her mother sitting like three rows above where the Shoji’s sit and it didn’t look to me like it’s Castaneda but maybe she looks different in street clothes. Saw Angelica wave her on to the floor and had her join the team in the locker room for post game talk. I was hoping it would be some setter since we will need a back up next year and beyond.
Dave said in the post-game, Howling may be used next year at opposite or as an outside hitter.
Cindy was there a recruit visiting?
I believe the girl I saw was Riley Wagoner. She was here with her mom and I recognized her mom from a picture on her Instagram .
She is said to be 2019 though so she is not coming in with Trinity and Kamalei.
I would really like to know who we getting for 2018.
For next year, I assume Faith is the backup setter? But I agree we need someone in the pipe for after that.
High school seniors for 2018 was pretty much done with in 2017. Only hope is transfers and JC players. Maybe a sleeper or project. Maybe able to get 2019 seniors but most of top players already know where they want to go.
As for recruiting, I am hopeful that Angelica might have a European or two she knows about. Also, the sooner they start training Sophia for the pins the better. Kendra is a very decent all around player but we need a terminator at her spot now. In m.o. it should be Kirsten. I also think Ma’afala should move into Clair-Marie’s spot but I do in general like Coaches use of her “smalls”. I like the way that Burns does not give them an excuse to replace her. Castillo is a very smart player and fun to watch. Emily has come such a long way she makes the season worthwhile just to see her continue to grow. We are good enough to beat Cal Poly if every one contributes.
Saw some improvement in arm speed last night by Burns and Castillo. Seem to be playing with more confidence, frankly, taken them long enough.
Imo, players have to show up ready to play, focused. That seems to be their biggest hurdle as far as the mental aspects are concerned. During the game, you should be on autopilot.
Kahakai has matured and is right up there with the best liberos in the country.
Let’s give Robyn and her coaching staff credit where it is due. Also like Angelica always coaching up their players. Coaching is teaching.
Just my two pennies.
The player that impressed me is Faith Ma’afala. Very strong at serving; very dependable; count on her to make a good dig and passes well.
I know that it must bug the coaches, but the SEs exceeding the SA is disturbing. Last four games, -7, -7, even, -5. How can Wahine win against really good teams with that kind of consistency. I further propose that the SAs are inflated due to the caliber of the competition and not the effectiveness of service. That is why it is so frustrating to watch this team this year.
IMHO, the outcome of the Cal Poly (and UCI) game will hinge on two things for the Wahine; their serves and the steady play of Granato.
Serving tough is easy but serving tough and keeping it in play is entirely another matter. The Wahine have great blockers so let them do their job, but they can’t if we give up freebies with serves into the net or long and against good teams, we’ll be playing catch up all night if this happens.
Too often, after a timeout or a great play by our side, we give the ball up to the other team by a bad serve. This is such a momentum buster.
And we all know that Granato is a great banger, but I’d rather she play smart, which means tooling the blocks, off speed shots and dinks. Keep them guessing.
No pressure Wahine, just go out there and take care of business.
GO BOWS.
