By Brian McInnis on November 28, 2019

First and foremost, happy Thanksgiving all. In this week’s delayed edition of the Forecast (I got a little sidetracked at the Maui Invitational) some post-Turkey Day action makes for a busy weekend.

Note the late start (7:30 p.m.) for the CBS Sports Network-televised game. The Rainbow Warriors (8-4, 5-3 […]

By Cindy Luis on November 25, 2019

The Rainbow Wahine volleyball team received two of the three Big West weekly awards on Monday. Congrats to Amber Igiede on BWC Freshman of the Week and Sky Williams for BWC Defensive Player of the Week. Stunning that Norene Iosia didn’t get POW.
