69. uh outshot too many trying to avoid the block. taylor especially and then tai. greeley never tried her force off the block into the antenna shot. and uh although wasnt afraid of u-dubs serve or spike was worried more than needed about hitting the block. the digging was superb and so was the passing (even by tai), sarah mendoza never let the ball drop on her watch on the entire court during the entire match and even dug the ball with her foot! the setting was meh when trying to use the wahine assault gun, magill. alas, better tactics next year and then uh dont need to worry about u-dub.

65. agreed. only time said sourpuss only smiles is in front of his portrait being taken or in front of the media press conference when ncaa is concerned.

69. mclaughlin always looks so upset. theres no point getting him to smile. well up next for u-dub is their old nemesis nebraska who i recall mclaughlin got into a fight with their head coach in an ncaa match and had to be escorted out?? perhaps nebraska can upset washington once again? then mclaughlin can be rightfully upset.
– and that is why i call mclaughlin the villain.

Hawaii still # 1 in Sr. night celebration. Their time will come one day when they will beat Washington at Washington.

Being outblocked 3-1 speaks to better tactics, ditto on the low Hawaii hitting percentages (random setting with no strategy or tactics involved). After the second game, McLaughlin said he made adjustments, which apparently worked. Wahine could benefit from watching the setting in Charlie Wade’s mens team. It is quicker and cleaner.

Don’t know why you think McLaughlin never smiles. he is intense on the bench. He cracked jokes in the press conferences last night and tonight.

what happened to UH? got worn down by a bigger team. UW rotated one position back and got a better match up. they stacked on Magill, which forced UH to go to the outsides a lot more than planned. Not like UW hadn’t seen Magill before when at U of A.

at one point wahine was dominating in set 2 but ultimately u-dub stepped it up and their fortification was just too strong to besiege.

Well looking at it perspective: Washington always get the best of the best(recruits)! in the west like the Penn St. of the east..but I truly love our girls effort! You could tell their were playing their hearts out! I felt the way we started game 3 that we could’ve taken this match into at least 5 games or a possible big upset. Washington is the type of team you have to capitalize on every opportunity. ….They got the best player in the Pac 10 among so many of elite players from Stanford, Arizona, Oregon, etc… They got the #1 recruit out of high school this 2014 year (Chrissy Jones)…and the cast of all the other High School Americans… We stood stood tall, unwavering and gave them our best punches….Yes, there was a “ROCKY” story unfolding from Game 2 but the ending of the story didn’t have the same ending… Again, what a movie and ride….until next year…We will be waiting anxiously!

The fact we are still talking about the setting after a full season is incredulous. Hopefully everyone improves during the off season and Coach Shoji really opens up competition for all positions. Overall a good respectable season for a young NaWahine team. Can’t wait to see what Mitchum brings to this team.
