‘Bows do media day

By Brian McInnis on September 26, 2018

Wednesday was media day for the Hawaii men’s basketball team. Once the Los Angeles Clippers cleared out from their morning session of preseason training camp, UH’s 15-player roster and full coaching staff was on hand for its team picture in the Stan Sheriff Center. Players broke into smaller groups and individually for various media requests, including from yours truly while the excellent Jamm Aquino took photos to be used in our season preview coverage. (I’m in a support role; our […]

Criticism comes with territory for secondary

By Dave Reardon on September 26, 2018

In the days since Hawaii beat Duquesne 42-21 last Saturday at Aloha Stadium, several people have told me that UH’s defense “sucks,” or described it in some other non-complimentary manner. Maybe that’s a somewhat understandable sentiment considering UH (now 4-1) was playing against a team from a lower division and favored by around 30 points. Still, I reminded them that the Warriors allowed just one score after the first quarter — the first quarter during which Duquesne jumped to a […]

Warrior Beat: Cooling-off period

By Stephen Tsai on September 26, 2018

Head coach Nick Rolovich knows how to have a cool time. Following a scrimmage in training camp, Rolovich hired a shave-ice vendor to provide cool treats for players, coaches and fans. This morning, Rolovich gave the signal to field specialist Gary Kaneshiro, who turned on the sprinklers while the players ran gassers — 55-yard, sideline-to-sideline sprints — following a 2-hour practice. Of course, defensive end Max Hendrie found a creative way to beat the heat yesterday:

VIDEO: UH prepares for San Jose State trip

By Brian McInnis on September 25, 2018

The Hawaii football team went to work Tuesday in preparing to resume Mountain West Conference play at San Jose State on Saturday (1 p.m. Hawaii time kickoff). The Spartans (0-3) always seem to give the Rainbow Warriors (4-1) a good game, regardless of record. Coach Nick Rolovich, offensive lineman J.R. Hensley and linebacker Jahlani Tavai spoke to that after practice.

Congrats to Danielson, COH inductee; no POWs from Big West

By Cindy Luis on September 24, 2018

I was able to catch up with Kanani Danielson before dinner at the 2018 UH Sports Circle of Honor induction ceremony. (Pictured with Coach Chris McLachlin) She is working and coaching JV volleyball at Punahou. Also was at her table and got to reconnect with her family. Wonderful evening at the Stan Sheriff Center. She is now one of 12 volleyball players inducted. Said she was very humbled and surprised by her selection. Thought she hadn’t been away long enough. […]

Warrior Beat: Celebrating ’07

By Stephen Tsai on September 24, 2018

Sometimes we forget. We remember the big finishes against Boise State and Washington, but forget a nail-biting WAC opener that nearly sabotaged what would become a perfect season. We remember the stars, but forget the undersized gunners on kickoffs, and the scout players who did everything Boise State and Washington were supposed to do, and the grad assistants who analyzed videos, wrote reports and visited the classrooms of every player on the roster. We remember the on-field celebrations and the […]

Wahine achieve straight-days sweep

By Brian McInnis on September 23, 2018

One-hundred and eighty minutes of soccer in a 26-hour span is no joke. That was the requirement for Hawaii this weekend, and the Rainbow Wahine answered the challenge emphatically with a 4-0 win over Grand Canyon on Sunday at Waipio Peninsula Soccer Stadium. By defeating North Dakota State and GCU on consecutive days, UH (5-3-1) won the three-team Rainbow Wahine Shootout heading into Big West play with a combined 6-0 score. The ‘Lopes (3-9) pressured the Wahine defensive third early […]
