Hawaii women’s volleyball: Freshmen display poise in upset of San Diego

By Brian McInnis on August 30, 2019

College volleyball in front of 4,947 screaming people. What a debut it was for Hellvig and Hawaii’s other on-demand true freshmen Friday night. “It’s a big difference,” said Hellvig, a 6-foot-2 hitter from Stockholm, Sweden. “Back home, back in high school, we had like max, 50, in the audience.

By Brian McInnis on August 29, 2019

It had been a frustrating afternoon all the way around for Hawaii and Nevada for two full halves of scoreless play. Some opportunities and close saves at both ends teased a positive outcome, only to have it revoked repeatedly like Charlie Brown lining up for a kick. True freshman Kelci Sumida helped leave most of the frustration on the Wolf Pack’s side with her header goal on a cross from Daelenn Tokunaga in the 96th minute at the UH Lower […]

One of those teams remain in the discussion for a high school national football championship. But maybe more importantly, bragging rights will be firmly established over on the UH Manoa campus, and more specifically in the Rainbow Warrior football team’s locker room. UH has healthy representation on both sides, with a dozen combined players and coaches part of the […]

Governor’s Ball: Hawaii football team practices at Farrington High

By Stephen Tsai on August 29, 2019

There were two explanations as to why the Hawaii football team practiced at Farrington High’s Edward “Skippa” Diaz Stadium this morning: 1. The Warriors wanted to rest their grass practice field, which has been chewed up with rain and heavy use. 2. “We needed to find out where that mana came from on that last play,” head coach Nick Rolovich said, a reference to defensive lineman Pumba Williams‘ 35-yard sprint to help tackle Arizona quarterback Khalil Tate a yard short […]

Hawaii women’s volleyball: Wahine 1 day out

By Cindy Luis on August 29, 2019

Think this is going to be a fun season. Very much looking forward to covering this team and getting to know the players. There’s a couple of things out there that might be of interest that aren’t part of Volleyshots Our Brian McInnis did a very nice story on Brooke Van Sickle. There’s a Five Things to Watch extra for this weekend. ESPN Honolulu’s Tiff Wells (full disclosure, he is my son) had a sit-down with Robyn Ah Mow that […]
