new thread up for BYU-Nevada
Cougars win 25-18

About the redshirts
Ah Mow-Santos said she hasn’t decided about redshirting anyone.
if you rmember Manu-Olevao was redshiriting until the Big West road trip when Croson got suspended.

Libscomb was cleared late into two-a-days. she said she’s better but I wouldn’t be surprised if she does redshirt. they haven’t decided about Gong either.

55. wireless problem would be the same regardless of what computer I have. happened with my phone, the iPad, etc.
Headstrong? never been accused of that. ‘-)

supposedly wahine in the 5th set were in a bad rotation perhaps similar to the 2nd set being decimated by san diego, i believe cindy said it was something about norene in the front row?? has robyn fixed that? like sub her out for kendra if size was an issue?

also could wahine do some tactics like spike in two (set not needed/already assumed) or pokey it over like beach to catch the opponent by surprise?

what about double attacking the block?

42, no consolation, but AT&T is poor again this season in the arena. Real spotty when we were at a match last weekend.

Ms. Luis, Please demand new laptop or computer from Star-Advertiser bosses. Business need, tell them. You are usually headstrong 'bout most things. Why not this? Thank you.

Agree with you vbfan. I still think that Cal Poly is the team to beat this year mainly because of the two Van Winden’s. I haven’t seen Irvine play so no idea. As for our team, I like how Castillo’s hitting has improved. They need to stick to having Greeley playing back row for her though. OH2 looks solidified if Castillo can keep up the good hitting. The opposite position is still a big question mark. I thought that Shaney would take that spot but still no word on whats up with her. I’ve been asking and nobody seems to have a definitive answer on what her injury is and if she will even play this year (redshirting?). Anyone know what’s the scoops with Shaney?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but are middles required to rotate out? Or if they are, can it be for fewer rotations than Maglio currently is? I am thinking of that problem rotation, what you folks are calling the sticky one. Could she come back in at that one instead of later?

That said, I liked how Coach Robyn had her on the outside partially, and appreciated some of the differences in the back row attack last night. Granato showed some flashes back there even though they didn’t seem to surprise the opponents.

Really impressed with Kahakai’s serves last night and her continuing overall grit.

I think they can and will win the conference and keep the NCAA streak aliive.

The Big West overall looks pretty bad this year.

Long Beach State has only one win all season, and UCSB is winless, both those teams look terrible to be honest.

UCI is undefeated, but really haven’t played any really good teams.

Cal Poly got swept by both ranked teams they played,

46. What kind minimum impact is 4 kills and 2 blocks in 2 sets and the 5th ? Plus Dave said she tipped or touched some BYU attacks and helped to turn the tide.
I like Burns in there and that Robyn gives everyone a chance to play.
Maybe Lipscomb and Gong will redshirt ?
Wahine serving was really good in the 3rd and 4th sets. Dave said in the post-game show that they are going to the NCAA’s from winning the conference.

The UCLA and BYU matches provided glimpse of what the Wahine can be. Still early in the season. New coach and staff. They will get there to be in the NCAAs.

This team has the talent and experience it needs to win games but what makes it disappointing is with all of that, you also need game IQ, gametime wits. Shoulda…. Wouldah.. Couldahave.

Next Game.
