http://www.avca.org/divisions/division-one-women/poll-9-22-14di/ shouldn’t be a surprise, especially given the horrendous week former No. 25 Michigan State had. USD fell from 19 to 24 the teams that have beaten Hawaii: Oregon 9-0 up a spot to 13 Arizona State (10-2) down a spot to 19 UCLA (9-2) up 2 spots to 20 Top 3 stay the same: Stanford, Texas, Penn State
Fun time seeing the former players. No real stats. Teams split 25-15, 22-25 It was 8-8 with time running out. they put the score at 24-24 with all players on the court for one final point. Ah Mow-Santos tried to get it to Bobbi Perry for an attempt but Perry wasn’t expecting that pass as the Green won 25-24 (time limit) Kanoe Kamana’o Ka’aihue was expected to play except she had her baby girl early this morning: Mikayla.
Hawaii starting Higgins, Taylor, Magill, Manu-Olevao, Greeley, Adolpho and Mendoza. As mentioned on another thread, Russ Rose won his 1,135th at Penn State. If Hawaii wins tonight, he and Shoji would be tied for most all-time wins. Livestats http://stats.statbroadcast.com/broadcast/?id=61742

I didn’t hear the interview on the morning show but from what I was told, coach said 4-6 weeks on Kahakai. I called him and he said that he has since been told by the trainer that she would be out at least 2 weeks. The MRI results not back yet and no word yet if there will be surgery. And final was able to speak with Mitchem. She said she was super excited to be a part of the […]
Team finally found time to take a picture today, all with their hair down. As for Kahakai, right knee sprain, doubtful for the weekend.
