#2 Don’t think Sun will even consider Hawaii. She will probably end up in a Calif Pac 12 or WCC team.
Hi Cindy. Any news on when spring training will start for the Wahine?
Congrats to SVT and Tuileta! Well deserved.
Great segment on TV about you and your son working together at the volleyball games. Your both greatly enhance my enjoyment of being a volleyball fan. Thanks!
Thanks Was that one from a few years ago by Howard D?
ICYMI Beach honor went to Zcsl Poly
Maglio Schucht nominated
UC Davis considering adding Beach volleyball

Yes, but your contributions are timeless.
Mags and Schucht were robbed. I guess when your team is ranked so high, results like theirs is expected. No worries many more games to come.
I thought Mags was robbed when the indoor team played Cal Poly the second time this past season. She had a match-high 27 kills (hitting .381), 4 blocks (30 points) and they gave the POW to Taylor Nelson. Nelson is a great setter, but Mags was the standout in that game especially for a player who only played 1/2 the time. I thought they would have at least had co-POW’s that week. Fortunately, she was awarded the POW the following week for her 19 kills (hitting .630 5.33 kills and 1.33 blocks per set – I looked it up) against Long Beach.
It seemed to me that the Big West promoted Cal Poly and Irvine quite a bit in their posts on Twitter and hardly promoted Hawai’i when both teams made the Tournament (and went 5 sets in both meetings). Some things never change (though I am sure the Cal Poly pair was also very deserving).
I hope several of our pairs win it this season. Next week will be a good test!
