Looks like less than 900 tickets left for sale for Senior Night. Love the full SSC crowd vibes.
-Aloha!
1. Wow, good news, looks like pack night. Sr. night is always special. Any entertainment ? Some thoughts: Iosia do a Samoan dance,Bring out a piano for Hellvig, HanaWahine and Ross can hula, Williams and Igiede can do a duet. Just dreaming. Can’t wait.
#2….volleyball is entertaining enough. No need more entertaining. After UH wins the BW title, we are going to be overwhelmed with joy.
Cannot take too much entertainment….LOL
Go Bows!
I’m going to senior night. I hope the Stan will get close to a sell out. There were less than 1,000 tickets left the last time I checked. This is a really special team. I’ll be sad if this turns out to be the final home game for the seniors and Rika. If they win out, there’s a good chance it won’t be. So…
Let’s go bows!
1-2-3-4
don’t know what’s planned.
2. it’s senior night. Don’t know how much the underclassmen will be involved. maybe not be too much. they have a planned autograph session after.
less than 1,000
If Hawaii wins tonight, they are Big West Champs already right? They win both matches, they own sole possession of 1st place.
I noticed there is Wahine Basketball on Friday at 2:30pm. Will there be time to put out the Teraflex or will they play on the hardwood?

new thread up with parking in for Friday
6. A win tonight and they clinch a share of the title but, since they have the tiebreaker, they get the AQ
Win both and they win outright.
7. they will switch out to the Teraflex.
Rich Sheriff and crew has it down to a science. Very efficient.
Tonight they are taking it up after the wahine match
Nice to see Jolie on the court. Now, she’s serving!
Wow, Cal Baptist and Riverside played a very long match where all sets were won by only two points and four sets were extended. The Riverside website did not state how long the match lasted, only that it was the highest scoring match of the season.
Any news on when/if Rasmussen is going to come back this year?
nope. no news. Not cleared to practice, not cleared to play.
10. think i mentioned earlier on some thread that she does some things in practice like toss balls out.
CSUN reminds me of the 2016 version of the Wahines. Some good pieces but not detail oriented.
14. Does JR do weight lifting with her arms lying down? What about conditioning? Does she work out on an exercycle? Or is an exercycle too much stress on her ankle? If it has toe straps, she can pedal it with one foot only. I’m afraid that even if she heals, she won’t be in adequate physical condition to play in the NCAA playoffs.
15. I see no resemblance.
16. no idea what kind of conditioning she does. we don’t have access to the weight room.
Hopefully, they can make it this a short night. Always great to see Sibs and Gong out there contributing
CSUN passing and hitting somewhat lacking. Questionable prep for LBSU tomorrow night.
Congrats to Hawaii for clinching the AQ and at least a share of the conference championship!
JR was not wearing boot on right ankle. In sneakers and walking without a limp. She stood with the rest of girls for entire match. Hopefully she will be ready for the NCAA playoffs. Crossing my fingers and toes! Her parents and I think grandparent were here for the match.
I’m really glad that tonights match was pretty easy. Not to insult them, but CSUN looked overmatched in every set. Wish Brooke was subbed out so she could save her legs.
I am wary of tomorrow night’s game against Long Beach. It’ll be a match between the two teams on winning streaks in the conference. With their confidence soaring, Long Beach is looking forward to getting their revenge on Hawaii.
Go ‘Bows!!
We also got things to settle with LBSU…not getting to practice on LBSU teraflex before the game was a snub …they got better but I feel we got way better since we played at LBSU too
This team has renewed strength and chemistry since the UC Irvine loss and struggling matches that followed against Cal Fullerton and Poly. This team has arrived at the right time. Yes, Jolie would be such a great gift but the team has certainly achieved so much in character building without her presence . They are ready to lock and load!
the broadcasting even talked about liking having a big west tourney. for womens volleyball, thats a bad idea – didnt hawai’i get out of the wackity wac in part because of that? you dont see power 5 having such tourney – theres no B1G or Pac 12 tourney for womens volleyball. its just depleting the big west rpi more especially since you going to have lesser teams of ucsd, bakersfield and sac state? plus no reason to beat up the conference more before the ncaa considering they already got their chance to beat each other twice both on their own turf and the others turf.
a good performance tonight by na wahine. let em show it to the beach tomorrow.
22 great points!! Go ‘Bows!!
Anybody know about recruits at the match? There was talk about a 6-2 player?
The new setter will be in the house tomorrow night, Kate Lang!
JR without boot last night. Wearing sneakers and walking without limp. Stood with teammates all night. Parents and grandparents (I think) at game. I hope these are signs she will be back for ncaa.
Missed 3rd set, but guess i didn’t miss much. Tonight is different, will have to be sure i watch all the way through to the ceremony. Tougher match only because LBS got two injured players back, and they are winners. Wahine needs to do everything right.
It was tough for CSUN at bottom half of Table, brings A-game on road in final weeks but LBSU, final-weeks giant killer, will give the needed tests for wahine: Sole BigWest Champ? Deserve to be placed at rank top-8 in RPI and seeding? Top-10 in AVCA poll (after adjusted for out of ordinary one voting, outlier)?…Senior Sibley was very well acknowledged by fans… Keep up the well-balanced attack!
Lets than 500 tickets for sale online for tonight’s match vs LBSU. Hope the traffic isn’t crazy and they open the arena on time … or a little early 🙂
Going wahine basketball and volleyball. Going be a long day. Not going home after basketball, hope I can get parking around the neighborhood.
Are doors opening at 5:45 or 6? Email from UH just now says doors open 1 hour before game but yesterday I read that doors open at 5:45?
Cindy:which is correct?
bowsfan – if you’re going for both, why not just park in the structure. I believe you get in-out privileges for 24 hrs.
Less than 400 tickets for sale online.
33. Regarding the opening time, last season when Men’s Volleyball had a full arena situation they did open the doors before 6pm, even though the official opening time was 6pm.
Aloha!

new thread up with Friday links
24. have mentioned before about potential BWC tournament after the expansion to 11 team. It will be interesting to see what format next year’s schedule is in. Talk about not having a true home and away schedule. It could very well end up like the old men’s MPSF with two divisions where teams play Home-and Away within division then cross over for one match in other division.
26. Kate Lang will be there tonight. She is not a recruit. She has officially signed. She’s 5-10
possible someone for 2021 will be there
33. I was told 15 minutes at 545 but that was yesterday.
They have to clear the arena first after women’s basketball. Much could depend on how quickly that happens.
34. I don’t believe there are in-and-out privilege s
What they will do is refund if you stay less than an hour.
As for BWC tourney, see CSUN coach’s take on having it in Hawaii
