A minor leak in the dome had some water on the court, guess they were patching earlier. Shoji and I laughed about the time in Klum Gym when Dunning was coaching UOP and it seemed to rain only on his side of the court. Pretty funny. Warmups very loose, including most of […]

On Friday, Oct. 24, at 7 p.m., UH will commemorate 20 years of sports and special events in the arena by hosting a women’s volleyball match against the […]

Team back in Gym 1, first full practice since last week (my bad, they did have practice Saturday. Original post said Thurday) Shoji also back from his recruiting trip. Not in the gym: Nikki Taylor, sounds like she has a cold. Magill cleared for light practice, she wasn’t in during the scrimmaging but did work with Wong during water breaks, dropping back a few steps and hitting balls that were more off the net. Shoji said they need to figure […]

Smart move. Surprised they didn’t decide sooner. now what to do with my ticket … Ah Mow-Santos had said yesterday she didn’t really want to go on the plane.

Their head coach Odetta Rapanot was also on the plane, along with Athletic Director John Ino and three […]
