(updated 445 p.m.Apologize. Thought this had posted this morning before I left to paddle. Beautiful morning. Had a school of dolphins pass us during a break off Mokolea and whale breach and spouts on the horizon) Thinking about last night’s loss. Tough one especially when looking at the standings. Instead of Hawaii gaining some separation over UCI (also 4-2) and being in the early lead for a top-4 host, they are tied for fourth with UCI and trail once-beatens USC, […]

Had mentioned this last week but got the official word today. U.S. vs. China June 5-6 at the Sheriff Center. Still no ticket info. http://www.teamusa.org/USA-Volleyball/Features/2015/February/02/China-to-Face-US-Women-in-USAV-Cup A comment on the previous thread was about this being a reward for the great fan turnout from last season.

Norene Iosia’s commit can only be verbal until this coming fall when she is a senior but the Redondo Beach setter was named national junior of the year for 2014 by prepvolleyball.com I don’t subscribe so if you do, you can read the story. Prepvolleyball.com also named her the national freshman of the year for 2012 appreciate the email by Terence Y. for letting me know.

Don’t have all the details but the U.S. Women’s National Team will play China in a two-match friendly June 5-6 at the Stan Sheriff Center. U.S. men scheduled to come out to Hawaii also later this year.
