Solid game by Tai. Glad to see the good receiving and digging. Happy that you are seeing the block better and placing the shots, and not trying to crush every ball through the block. Your hitting percent reflects it. Keep it up.

I just hope they don’t get sent to Stanford or PSU , I think they have a shot to advance to the sweet sixteen against anyone else.

Great Senior Night! That’s the Kalei I’ve wanted to see playing for years! And glad to see Ginger able to end on a high note. Now if they can just hold that level of focus in the post-season.

Only recruit that I knew of in the arena was on unofficial sand visit. If you remember former UH basketball player Fabio Ribeiro, he and his daughter were there Saturday night. She’s just a sophomore in high school but already 6-2.
He and I had a brief chat. said it was great to be back in Hawaii, loved the new campus sand courts. Lives in Austin, not far from the Poppingas (Brian and wife Karrie Trieschman).

i have no idea where hawaii will be sent. i hope at least that it’s to a lower seeded team where they have a chance to make a nice run to a regional.

no matter where they’re sent … i hope they take the energy and focus they played this senior night with them.

40. You might be right about UH being sent to Colorado State. One previous time UH was sent to Colorado when Tara Hittle was in the team. However, I think that it will be Colorado rather than USC that would be sent to Colorado State. Different conference which is good, but same state. USC might not make it to the tournament. Still, all this is speculation and we could be both wrong about where UH will be sent. Maybe Washington like a few years ago.

36. Didn’t spark any recruits at all.

I thought that was the best backrow play that I’ve seen from Olevao all season long.

Crafty Shoji with the right timing to sub in Kalei then out with Maglio in the 3rd set. Giving Ginger the shots to end the 2nd set and then the match point.

What I’ll be watching on Selection Sunday:

1. Will the Pac-12 tie last year’s league record 9 bids? Or will it set another league record with all 4 “bubbles” — Oregon St, Arizona St, Utah, and USC — getting a RSVP to the Big Dance?

2. WCC should get 2 bids — AQ BYU (rpi 20) and surprising runner-up Pacific (rpi 48) — but will another sneak in? Slim to no chance.. Santa Clara (rpi 45) and San Diego (rpi 42) tied for 3rd in the Standings, but 4th place LMU (rpi 39) has the WCC’s second best RPI after BYU.

3. Used to be easy to predict where UH would be sent — Galen Center of course. But not this year. I am clueless but I’ll predict Colorado State (Mountain West winner) will be Seed 16, and Na Wahine will be sent to Fort Collins along with North Colorado (Big Sky champ) and a Pac-12 squad. Would be funny if that Pac-12 squad turns out to be USC (if it gets an unlikely at-large bid).

4. Year of Redemption: No one and done. LBSU (26-4) looks determined to go deep and has a resume — 17 straight wins since its Sept 20 loss to Oregon State — to back it. UH wins all but 1 — 5-set loss to LBSU — of its last 10 matches. Both teams will represent. Bring it! No one and done!

Here we come, and Team Shoji says Na Wahine is ready for Prime Time! Go Bows!
