The poll will be very different tomorrow with all the losses, including USC 0-3.

Was most impressed with Kahakai, tying her career high with 23, nine in Set 5. Also thought Sibley took strong swings on those out-of-system balls.
There was one insane blind back bumpset by Iosia crosscourt to Sibley front left that Sibley took on the fly an put down, giving UH set point in Set 4.
Iosia has quite the sense of humor.

appreciate the posts about what OCSports said since we don’t hear the postgame. Shoji did say they hope to get Taylor back this week and that it would solve a lot of problems.
Using Ross on the left was a necessity. With Greeley unable to swing, they felt that Ross would give them some offense. Also that they kept Granato in for her back row attack.

hard to keep up with the Nos. on the comments.
Yes, Ross is a DS. I was very surprised to see her play front row. But everyone considers her one of the most athletic players on the team. As Shoji said, good genes. Know we’ve talked about how her dad was two-sport at UH, played pro baseball, sister is Kyla Ross, gold medal gymnast from 2012, and aunt is former Wahine Nohea Tano

81. Ross was an OH/Opp in high school, but at 5-10, undersized for UH, considering how tall the OHs are. Tonite it was a wrinkle that AZ couldn’t prepare for, so that helped. Not clear that she will see much more time at the net with Taylor coming back.

Kalei Mau and Savanah Kahakai were named to the all-tournament team. Also honored were Wisconsin’s Lauren Carlini (Most Outstanding Player), Tionna Williams and Haleigh Nelson. Also from Kansas State Katie Brand and Brooke Sassin.

Not surprised with McKenna Ross..saw her during the scrimmage the other week and saw her great approach and quick swing for her stature…Totally happy that she got to show her stuff

72. She may have started there, but she didn’t play that position for the match. She had one attempt, no blocks and 12 digs. Those are DS stats. Buechler, Andersen and Rogers took nearly all the OH swings. I think she was put there so she could be the first server for UCLA. LMU served to start the match.

Isn’t Ross a DS? Not sure how to feel about her playing at the net. that. Is it a glass half empty or half full?

UH needs to go undefeated rest of the way to host and hope our opponents all have good seasons.

i think it’s possible if Nikki is back to 100 percent and had stellar senior year too bad we wont see mitchem till october.
