playing reserves versus two BW (UCF and UCR) bottom dwellers was very , very good experience for newbies. I commend RAMS for that , but think Trinity and Kirsten deserved , at least one rotation to warm-up! Also , giving others back row experience (offense/defense)would , also be essential. Okay , big weekend coming (but as coach Dave stated ) team must zero in versus UCSB. From watching UCLA games on PAC12 channel , I believe Cal Poly beat a decent , but not really good UCLA team. If Wahine can play with fire , and cut down unforced errors , they could beat the Mustangs!!! To servers , please stay OUT of the NET!!! To the WAHINE and all fans——-IMUA , GO BOWS!!!

Even setting-distribution was the key for last WIN. Both Granato & Burn typically get closely guarded by best blockers and opened the door for set distribution for other hitters. End result was higher % kills for most hitters as well as for Granato. Wahines can not afford a single service error in next two games. Remember, service home run like baseball or making into net like in basketball gives points to opponent even without any opportunity to defend (which is wahines top strength). Therefore, keeping service errors zero is primary goal although serving tough is important. I think wahines and coaching staff are doing an excellent job improving the team very steadily!

Kudos to the UH staff for the great job managing the parking and traffic. Really nice crowd at the SSC. Great bento from the Okuhara food stand. Lots of families in attendance. SSC great atmosphere.

Congrats to the wahines, 4-0 in conference. The rubber hits the road this weekend. As coach Shoji said, their mind should only be on Santa Barbara.
#40 disagree with your comment. T. VIn WInden is the class of the BW. She reminds me of Nikki Taylor. Ruddins is good though.

Without a doubt, Lindsey Ruddins is the best player in the conference and a sure AA. If our servers can serve tough and keep UCSB out of system, we stand a good chance of upsetting them.

And the Van Winden sisters from Cal Poly should ALWAYS have a blocker mirror their every move when they’re in the front row; Natasha and Kamalei are good enough to take care of the middle.

Winning one of two on the Wahine next road trip would be huge; two would be gigantic.

GO BOWS.

Besides all the other adjustments (i.e. Krug at middle), I thought a big difference in the Riverside match was the Wahine’s serving. It really disrupted Riverside; kept them out of system.

36. given that na wahines serving is decent, they should be able to serve the van windens to disrupt their game just like ucla did last year

Grateful to be 4-0 with that huge comeback win at UC Irvine last weekend. IMO; Keys to this road trip is to stop arguably the best single athlete/volleyball player in the BW, Lindsey Ruddins, of UCSB and then the Dynamic Duo of the Van Winden sisters of Cal Poly…If we can limit our errors and convert on offense consistently IMO we possibly could take UCSB in 4 and try to challenge Cal Poly to a 5th set…After witnessing UCLA get dismantled twice in 4 by Cal Poly, our Rainbows have their work cut out for them. They will have to play their best volleyball of the year to win both matches on the road. It would be so wonderful if our girls pull a big win at UCSB and huge upset over Poly and return home 6-0. I know its a long shot but any thing can happen on any given day
