There’s a reason why Akana hasn’t played much. Coach has said in interviews that she’s basically a project. Proclaiming her the new starter at OH is over the top. She did good, very high volleyball IQ. But right now she is limited in her skill set and athleticism.

Braelyn Akana played a pivotal role in sparking this team back to life after those first two sets when Hawaii was down. She literally came in and played a position new to her. That’s like asking a Forward in basketball to play Point Guard or a Center in Football to play Wide Receiver. She may not have stood out numbers wise but her level of play made her stand out at the right moments for UH, which ultimately lead to UH’s reverse sweep win over Cal-State Fullerton.

@ Rabbit Hole

A freshman, coming into the game late while the team is in trouble and asked to play out of her position and she does great… Friggin Debbie Downer you are.

Praise for Akana is kind of over the top. She did ok. Block assist category is miss leading. She had 1 block.

Noticed that in the two recent matches, teams are hitting to the back left corner as you face the service line from the net and scoring.

On video, the one with the winning score, at the end, you could see Brooke walking gingerly and Jolie kinda helping her as the team ran out to the court. Brooke didn’t look good at all. Praying for both of them!

So it looks like Braelyn Akana has earned the right-side hitter position. Then where does Hanna play?

A total team effort. I underestimated Robyn’s brilliance in her coaching. She really does have her eye and instinct on what could help her team to win. Robyn, Well cone!
