By Brian McInnis on September 2, 2019

Is it Monday already? Well, if it is — and we think it is, because it’s Labor Day — that means a fresh installment of the Rainbow Forecast.

UH football is coming off a bye week, UH women’s volleyball hosts the Heineken Rainbow Wahine Invitational (fresh off winning the Hawaiian Airlines Classic), and UH soccer hits the road for the first time this […]

Hawaii women’s volleyball: Undaunted and un-haunted Wahine take down Washington

By Dave Reardon on September 1, 2019

For many of the 5,320 in the crowd at the Stan Sheriff Center, the Washington Huskies women’s volleyball team had become something like what BYU used to be in football … a nemesis, arch-enemy and source of much frustration. Going into Sunday’s match against their beloved University of Hawaii Rainbow Wahine, the UH fans had endured four consecutive losses to the Huskies — three of them season-ending ousters from the NCAA tournament. The Wahine players? That stuff was ancient history, […]

Hawaii soccer: Wahine depart for road with mutual shutout

By Brian McInnis on August 31, 2019

In a possible farewell to game action on its campus field, Hawaii won plenty of possession and created copious opportunities. Somehow, that resulted in a scoreless draw with Sacramento State on Saturday afternoon. UH (1-2-1) now heads for the road — a three-game swing through the Dakotas — feeling better about its lineup versatility but still searching for finishing ability. The Rainbow Wahine outshot the Hornets (1-1-1) of the Big Sky 15-4, to no avail. “We had balls off the post, […]

By Stephen Tsai on August 31, 2019

No news was good news for former University of Hawaii football player John Ursua.
