Live stats not working. Have let UCR know.
It’s 6-6 in Set 1.
Hawaii up 13-10 TO UCR
Live stats working
https://gohighlanders.com/sidearmstats/wvball/summary
Hawaii up 20-14 on a block by Burns and Castillo (live stats gives Akiu a BA). TO UCR
Hawaii wins 25-16. It was 18-14. Granato gets her 100th career ace at 23-14
Granato 4-0-7, Burns 3-0-5, Iosia 3-0-7, LIva 2-1-3, Castillo 0-1-6, Gaskin 1-0-4.
Granato and Akiu both with 6 digs. UH with 3 1/2 blocks.
For Riverside, Freshman Marissa Holt with 7-2-17. She did not play at Hawaii and hasn’t played in 11 matches until today. Ka’iulani Ahuna still out.
Hawaii trailed 6-1, tied it at 7, now up 12-9. TO UCR
Which score is correct? Live stats or radio 1500? 1500 says UH 12-9 at TO; stat has it 12-8.
Hawaii up 15-10, TO UCR.
Grant headed for another double-double 7 kills, 9 digs. Akiu with 11 digs.
Williams makes an appearance. UH up 22-14
Hawaii takes Set 2 25-17, ends it on kill by Iosia
UH audio and UCR video not synchronized. It just threw me off. So I switched to the CSUN-Cal Poly match. Much more dramatic match. First set was very close, 29-27. Cal Poly faced set point and somehow pulled it off. Cal Poly was really rattled, but in the second set they settled down. CSUN is making more mistakes now. Second set not as close.
I guess UCR is missing K. Ahuna who is still injured. UH can close the match in three sets. Meanwhile, Cal Poly – Northridge match is still in the second set.
12. their live stats are very bad. I’d go with radio. He is there.
I mentioned to UCR that that had a BA for Akiu in Set 1. They have fixed it.

No. 12 Cal Poly def. CSUN, 29-27, 25-14, 25-17
Didnāt see Gong on the bench. Ill?
Shucks, was hoping CSUN couldāve helped us out with taking a set or two off CP. š As for our own matches, itās too bad Ahuna was out, and that Schneider is reportedly not cleared for play tomorrow. I hate when injuries keep players off the court, no matter what side theyāre representing.
27. How could CSUN have helped UH by taking a set or two from Cal Poly? It’s not like UH will play Cal Poly tomorrow. Only thing I could think of is that CSUN could tire out Cal Poly before playing Long Beach tomorrow. Instead, it is Long Beach that has just taken UCSB to the fifth set by winning a close, extended fourth set. So UCSB has indirectly helped Cal Poly by tiring out Long Beach. So that match still goes on.
26. Gong did not make the trip. I was told Tuesday all were going. Guess something changed.
27-28. Set differential would come into play way down in the tie-breaker if it goes to that.
UCSB had 2 match points, Long Beach comes back to end it 19-17 on its third attempt.

Wow, UCSB-Long Beach was the most dramatic match of the Big West series today. Both sides averted match points and it was a see-saw until finally the Beach won 19-17 in the fifth, coming back from two sets down. The match last 2 1/2 hours while Cal Poly was done with CSUN in about one hour and 35 minutes, nearly an hour earlier. The Beach will be tired out when meeting Cal Poly tomorrow night. I’ll rather watch that match than UH vs. Fullerton, which will probably be lopsided with little or no drama. I don’t expect the Titans to give the Wahine much of a challenge if any; whereas, the 49ers might still give the Mustangs a run for their money. I won’t rule them out altogether The 49ers proved to be a pesky team with a never-die attitude. Cal Poly will be busy watching video and scouting the Beach for a long time before tomorrow’s match. Even if the Beach takes two sets from Cal Poly, it won’t help Hawaii as Cal Poly would have plenty of time to recover until next Friday. The only way the Beach could help Hawaii is if they managed to upset Cal Poly. It will be interesting to see what happens tomorrow. I wonder if Hawaii fans might switch to the Cal Poly – Long Beach match if UH finishes off Fullerton quickly. I would highly recommend as UH fans would get an idea of how Cal Poly can perform on the road against a pesky team like Long Beach.
28-29. Mahalo to Cindy for explaining what I was alluding to. Even if other teams donāt beat CP, taking sets off CP could help us in the five-step tiebreaker analysis process.
Looks like CP gets in to the postseason even as an at-large, so BWC is best served on the national scene if someone other than CP wins the conference (2 bids). And who better to top the conference than the Wahine?
32. Since Cal Poly already defeated UH in 3 sets, wouldn’t UH have to beat Cal Poly in 3 sets to take it to the next tie-breaker (provided that neither team lost to other Big West teams till the end of the season)? A four or five-set win wouldn’t suffice as set differential between the two leading teams would count first. What are other rules of a tie-breaker?
33. Cal Poly defeated Hawaii in 4. If UH were to sweep CP and teams are tied, Hawaii has the head-to-head tiebreaker
34. Thanks, Cindy. I forgot that Cal Poly beat UH in 4 instead of 3. But suppose UH beat Cal Poly in 4, what other tiebreaker rules exist?

From Big West manual
http://www.bigwest.org/code_book/2017/2016-17%20BWC%20Manual%20-%20Section%2021-VB8.1.16.pdf
In the event two teams tie for first place in the final standings, the following tie-breaking formula shall be used to determine the automatic qualifier:
1. The winner of the two-match series between the tied teams
shall be declared the automatic qualifier.
2. If still tied, the team with the best record in conference
matches against common opponents beginning at the top of the standings and working down the standings until the tie is broken shall be declared the automatic qualifier. Ties among teams at the top of the standings should be broken first to establish a ranked order.
3. If still tied, the team with the best total win/loss set record in conference matches against all conference opponents, including the matches between the tied teams, shall be declared the automatic qualifier.
4. If still tied, the team with the best win/loss set record against common conference opponents, excluding the team with which it is tied, beginning at the top of the standings and working down until the tie is broken shall be declared the automatic qualifier. Ties at the top of the standings should be broken first to establish a ranked order.
5. If still tied, the team with the highest point ratio in all conference matches shall be declared the automatic qualifier.
37. Thanks, Cindy, for citing the rule book. It explains why Greenthumb was wishing that CSUN could have taken a set from Cal Poly. However, rule #1 doesn’t make sense to me. How can there be a winner between two tied teams? Does this mean that whoever has the better sets-won-lost ratio wins? I can understand the other rules as they sound similar to tiebreaker rules in world championship matches.
Was glad to hear Sky got in the game for a while and produced some. GO BOWS!
Geez…93 swings for Ruddins? What happened to the concept of team.?If I was a member of the UCSB team, I would not be thrilled with the way things are going. Are the UCSB coaches not smart enough to design other plays other than set the ball to a Ruddins?
If I was the coach, I would never do that to the team . Itās just not good for team morale.
38, the first tiebreaker is the head-to-head record. Let’s say two teams are tied for first. However, one team has swept the other in conference play, two matches to none. Then that team gets the AQ and steps 2 through 5 are not needed.
40. You are right. Usually one person cannot lift a team to victory, Cal Poly will learn tomorrow that they can’t just count on Torrey van Winden to carry them against Long Beach at the Pyramid. She will need help from other players. Unlike CSUN, I don’t expect Cal Poly to win in three straight sets. This could go to five sets either way.
However, there are exceptions. Consider that Egonu, the Italian superstar, lifted her team to victory against China in the Women’s World Championship today with a world record of 45 points (39 kills in 88 swings, a block and 5 aces). It took five sets, the last two extended. That was a monumental upset! So Italy will play against Serbia again for the world championship within a few hours. Italy will be tired just like Long Beach that just defeated UCSB, also in five sets.
Wish Burn get rested today for next week challenge. As tough 7 matches coming after today, wish bench subs (Skyler, Krug, Ross, etc) get tune up time today. Expects continuing tune up of Granato/setters attack variations today. Still failing to take an easy point off over passes which could have dumped to side or down instead hitting back to diggers? Wahines weakness: not totally dominating in any single category. But wahines strength (above average in every category) is good enough to over come this weakness as well as to perform like top 25 team.
Good to hear that Na Wahine took care of business against UCR. Onward to CSUF.
Hey Cindy – do you have to go through all of the click not a robot stuff every time that you post too?

43. not sure why you single out Burns as needing to be rested.
