Wasn’t there but scores are 25-13, 25-19, 25-21. Closer than I would expect. but hard for Texas to come back from last night’s loss to play early. And likely is more concerned about the 6 p.m. match vs. USD complete stats at http://stats.statbroadcast.com/broadcast/?id=23283
My bad for overlooking this CORRECTION Hartong became the 18th Wahine in program history to reach 1,000 kills when tying Set 4 at 2-2. She now has 1,005. She’s the first since Kanani Danielson (2008-11) Thanks TV guy for letting us know that I had overlooked Cubi-Otieneru had to
Huge win for Hawaii, 25-19, 19-25, 27-25, 25-16. first some comments from Shoji. Said it’s obviously early in the season but it was an amazing win for the program, coming against the defending champions who had almost everyone back from last year. Said they got lost a little in Set 2, went away from the game plan and broke down in some key fundamentals. But they regrouped in Set 3. Said they should have won that one probably a little […]
Should be a very entertaining match for the fans. Texas is very athletic and I expect great defense from both teams. TV may get the lineup before we do don’t know if livestreaming has started. TV is doing its pre game. but the live stats won’t start before the match does.
After getting blown out 25-14 (hitting -100), UTEP has been impressive ever since. They won Set 2 25-22 and lead Set 3 15-12. Shouldn’t even be a contest. USD much more athletic. but UTEP has been serving tough. some great defense on both sides. UTEP up 16=13
As of 130 p.m. there were 2300 I’m sure fewer now, two hours later.
