By Brian McInnis on November 22, 2019

The stars aligned for the Hawaii women’s volleyball team for the final few points against Long Beach State on a sold-out senior night. With the “white-out” crowd counting down the points to an outright Big West championship, coach Robyn Ah Mow had one thing left to accomplish: get all five of her seniors on the floor at the same time. “We were trying to figure out how we were going to do it, because usually Sib (Kirsten Sibley) comes in […]

Big West women’s volleyball: CSUN coach Jeff Stork in favor of tournament at Hawaii

By Brian McInnis on November 21, 2019

Cal State Northridge coach Jeff Stork wants to come back to Hawaii. Even after his team got drummed out of the Stan Sheriff Center in a very quick 25-18, 25-12, 25-14 sweep on Thursday night. Stork, CSUN’s 18th-year head coach, wants there to be a Big West postseason volleyball tournament to decide the assignment of the conference’s automatic NCAA tournament berth instead of the current setup of the regular-season champion getting the bid. Hawaii clinched its 27th straight NCAA appearance […]

Hawaii football: Cortez Davis’ solid play at corner could help Rainbow Warriors conquer Aztecs

By Dave Reardon on November 20, 2019

Although its offense usually gets most of the accolades, defense can still make crucial contributions for the University of Hawaii football team. Such was the case Saturday when the Rainbow Warriors won 21-7 at UNLV. UH’s offense was stagnant and shaky much of the day, and that made cornerback Cortez Davis’ 43-yard interception touchdown return the decisive play of the game. It broke a 7-all tie late in the third quarter. Another interception, by linebacker Paul Scott in the fourth […]

Hawaii women’s volleyball: Rainbow Wahine primed for senior week

By Cindy Luis on November 20, 2019

Technically Rika Okino never played for Dave Shoji. She redshirted during 2016 in what ended up being the last of 42 seasons for the Hawaii women’s volleyball coach. Still, having that link to the Hall of Famer who retired with 1,202 victories and four national championships means a lot to Okino, who is one of five Rainbow Wahine who’ll be feted during Friday’s senior night at the Stan Sheriff Center. What means even more to the Kalani High product is […]

Hawaii football: Rainbow Warriors roll with thunder

By Brian McInnis on November 19, 2019

As it turned out, Tuesday morning’s Hawaii football practice was closed not just to the media. Mother Nature closed it to the Rainbow Warriors themselves. “A bit of a midstream adjustment at practice, because of the lightning. So, we did some walkthrough. We’ll get some work in this afternoon. Had to adjust today,” said coach Nick Rolovich, who decided previously that this week’s practices (usually open Tuesday and Wednesday) would be closed to local media. “We were not allowed to […]
