Hawaii women’s volleyball: Brooke Van Sickle rides to the rescue

By Brian McInnis on October 21, 2019

Brooke Van Sickle didn’t think she’d be playing over the weekend. The junior hitter only just returned to practice with her Hawaii teammates on Thursday from a knee injury that’d caused her to miss three matches heading into the week’s games against UC Riverside and UC Davis. She warmed up for Friday’s match against Riverside, but wasn’t needed, as the Rainbow Wahine made quick work of the lowly Highlanders despite not playing all that well. Sunday was a different story. […]

Hawaii soccer earns first result against Cal State Fullerton

By Brian McInnis on October 20, 2019

Sometimes, a draw feels like either a win or a loss, not something in between. Hawaii’s 1-1 tie with Cal State Fullerton at the Titans’ field Sunday most definitely was a win for the Rainbow Wahine. Thanks to Kayla Ryan’s goal to begin the second half — off of assists from Kayla Watanabe and Kelci Sumida to work the ball ahead, then to the middle — UH squared the match and held on tight through double overtime for their first […]

By Brian McInnis on October 19, 2019

The fourth quarter started off so well for Hawaii on Saturday night. The Rainbow Warriors, for a moment, appeared poised to launch into full comeback mode against Air Force, opening the final period with a touchdown connection between Cole McDonald and JoJo Ward. >> PHOTO GALLERY: HAWAII VS.

Hawaii Football Throwbacks: Air Force

By Brian McInnis on October 19, 2019

Today’s potentially pivotal Mountain West matchup between Hawaii and Air Force could be the latest in a series of close battles between the Rainbow Warriors and the Falcons throughout their history, which stretches back to 1966. Nine times in a 21-game series have UH and the AFA played within a touchdown of each other. In today’s edition of the Throwbacks, we’re focusing on one of those typical nail-biters for the Kuter Trophy — Nov. 26, 1988. The Rainbow Warriors were charmed […]

Hawaii women’s volleyball: Wahine show off new killer instinct

By Brian McInnis on October 19, 2019

Whatever was said in the three-hour post-match meeting between coach Robyn Ah Mow and her players up at San Luis Obispo, Calif., seems to have made a lasting impression. UH made short work of UC Riverside on Friday night, rolling through the Highlanders in 86 minutes, 25-17, 25-18, 25-12. Norene Iosia had a potent double-double (19 digs, 17 assists), Amber Igiede put down 11 kills on 14 swings and Hanna Hellvig and McKenna Ross added 10 kills apiece. Sky Williams […]

Hawaii men’s basketball: Young guns pressed into service

By Brian McInnis on October 18, 2019

Kameron Ng saw an opening. He sprinted upcourt, the ball at his fingertips. The defense was far from set. An opening presented itself on the left side of the lane. The guard pressed his advantage and, once the defense collapsed, he noticed the weak-side defender covered down, toward the basket. Ng rifled it across the lane to the right corner, where an open Justin Webster caught it and put it up and in for three points without hesitation. “I just […]

Hawaii soccer: For once, Wahine in favorable position on road

By Brian McInnis on October 18, 2019

UPDATE: Hawaii went on the road and beat UC Riverside 2-0 to improve to 3-0 in conference play for the first time since the WAC championship season of 2007. After a scoreless first half, UH got goals from Kelci Sumida in the 55th minute (assisted by Kayla Watanabe) and from Eliza Ammendolia in the 88th (from Daelenn Tokunaga). UPDATE: Riverside made a stat fix to reflect that Elena Palacios had the assist for Sumida, not Watanabe. It was the team-high-tying […]

Hawaii football: Valuing possessions vs. Air Force not optional

By Brian McInnis on October 15, 2019

Make each one count. Each one being possessions. That’s the message — offensively, anyway — as Hawaii prepares for Air Force in a second straight cross-divisional Mountain West matchup at 5 p.m. Saturday at Aloha Stadium. “Ground Force” has a way of making the seconds tick all the way down on teams with its triple-option offense. The Falcons dominated time of possession, 39:29 to Fresno State’s 20:31, a 43-24 win over the Bulldogs on Saturday. Give it away, or punt […]
