Then finish with No. 7 Cal Poly. The Mustangs lost yesterday to the 49ers 4-1
Big win for the Sand Bows. Cal Poly will also be a big match. It will bolster their tournament resume.
1. it was a good win. Doesn’t seem like Poly is the team they were last year but always a good battle.
Koelsch has played in every match this season for the Beach. Mostly at 4’s, but has played some 3’s. Going into Sunday, she is 12-7 (6-3 at 3’s & 6-4 at 4’s).. has been paired with Sydney Stevens at 3’s & Sophie Major/Kenzie Holt/Claire Newlander at 4’s.
Vote for Joe, Rado & Stijn for Players of the Month.

Thought Pat Gasman should’ve been included too, but oh well.
Parking will be bad this weekend. Baseball vs UC Davis. Hope UH has plans in place.
3. haven’t seen parking plans for this weekend but they do have them for big west tournament which conflicts with Fullerton

3. thanks when I looked at LBS stax. all I saw was 1-0
but that was at one flight with one partner.
I was very happy when Hawaii beat Long Beach this morning after Long Beach had beaten Cal Poly yesterday, so I wanted revenge and cheered loudly for Hawaii. The true highlight was the final ace that Emily Maglio delivered to Long Beach landing between Kruidhoff and Molina. Yesterday in the final point of the match, Cal Poly (with Chrissy Jones, former UW player) was aced exactly the same way and now the Long Beach girls got their payback. I certainly praised Emily Maglio in person for this. Best moment in the whole tournament.
As for the Cal Poly-UH match (I’m a Cal Poly alumni), I cheered great plays on both sides and stayed silent on bad plays. The final moments were very interesting and unusual as the two courts that were still playing in sets 3 were at the farthest ends and when one match finally ended, we all trooped a long way over the sand to the other court. Of course, Cal Poly fans outnumbered Hawaii fans, and perhaps that helped Cal Poly to win, but I think the Mustangs were so mad at losing to Long Beach the previous day that they dead-set to redeem themselves. Great matches, all in all, well worth traveling from the Big Island. Now I look forward to seeing wondrous wildflowers in super-bloom, an extra bonus for this trip.
