One interesting note: If you listened to radio Friday, mentioned was CSUN’s new banners for NCAA tournament appearance and Big West Championship in 2013
Hawaii has yet to update their banners for the past few years.
Was told that at least one Wahine was almost embarrassed that theirs hadn’t been updated.
will update the top 25 later when I get more scores
but biggest upset was Illinois over Penn State 26-24, 16-24, 25-23, 25-21
match was at Illinois
No change in the lineup for UH
Higgins, Mendoza, Magill, Adolpho, Manu-Olevao, Taylor, Greeley
Cindy you have to publicly embarrass UH if you want something to change and that is the job of the SA. Not only are our banners outdated but why are the so small ?
Dave rubbing his knees like my grandpa does.
UH very lethargic so far…looks like they haven’t shrugged off CSUN yet…
looking bad at 5-10
Beach already with 3 aces…terrible…
na wahine better not make it worse got aced 3 times already??
UH looks like a high school team. Manu not passing or even going for the ball. Nikki’s lolio serves and the stupid jump serves does nothing. Awful.
yeah bring in some armor (huff)
My job is to report, it’s not to publicly embarrass anyone. However it is worth a story about the banners not being updated
It actually would be better served by one of our columnists whose job it is to voice opinions
They’ve been this size since 1994 when the arena opened. Agree they are too small
I have long advocated for them to retire jerseys and celebrate the successes.
Repeat of last night. Aced three times already.
huff delivered a shot
passing,no communication,letting balls drop no effort. Out aced,out blocked.
the beach first to 15 with hawai’i less than half that
Come on Tai…wth
tai now it would be a good time to be angry
Beach up 20-13. TO UH
Really don’t like this new gametracker.Only one team stat.
Someone made a comment awhile back that UH is not a top 25 team. Their sure proving that they aren’t.
Okay anyone? Please tell me what is going on… did the pre conference not even help UH? I think Taylor H. needs to sit down.
Hawaii loses 25-15
Wow…bad start…they look lethargic…they need to come together and pump each other up…they not playing together
Is it just me, or does UH look really slow? Don’t want to watch this anymore…
25-15 first set, even worst than yesterday
pls. pls. na wahine wake up! snap out of this slump ~
They look like they just played the first match of the season. No confidence. Nikki Taylor does not cover on defense at all. Manu in the back row is showing signs of last year’s poor inconsistent passing which is why she was subbed out for a defensive S., this year she is suppose to be the OH that hits the pipe or bic so Dave keeps her in the back row. Kalei is not closing the seams and the setting is pretty bad even with a decent pass.
Well at least the announcers not trashing us,actually cutting them slack.
Magilio in for Magill
even the commentators are saying the setting is off… put in kendra kendra kendra…
Who is Huff in for?
Let’s go wahine…I see some life…Let’s Go!
Go Maglio…
ah hawaii turning the tide
lets go bows!
come on hawai’i they just tied you
There we go…back to wahine volleyball…
UH up 15-14 at the TTO
you see… when they lay with confidence and execute, they run a faster offense which makes LB out of system.
Maglio is doing pretty good…Go bows!
UH has to believe they are the boss.
This is like a bad dream! I thought they would rise up to the challenge instead they are folding badly!
The coaches did not have them ready!! Blame goes to them!
Again Higgins not bettering the ball. She needs to be more precise. She is trapping hitters which is why we are not winning the points we should win.
anyone see team stats anywhere on this GT other than hitting % ?
Beach on a 3-0 run, takes the lead at 20-19. TO UH
42. how about giving the opponents some credit? we knew this was going to be a tough road trip. UH playing back to back. CSUN and The Beach had one match this week, and that was against UH. The schedule was not kind
come on wahine! close this!
UH up 23-21. TO 49ers
http://www.longbeachstate.com/gametracker/launch/gt_wvolley.html?event=1349562&school=lbst&sport=wvolley&camefrom=&startschool=&
LC, i’ve got complete stats including play by play at this link
UH has to believe they are the boss. Adolpho with the roof…oh yeah.
Starting to pass better which is why we are able to run our offense. Come on girls…win this set…
Okpala hits wide. UH with set point 24-21. TO Beach
was magill playing that bad? i like maglio, but wassup ?
Honestly Cindy…if UH plays like they did against Oregon, they can beat anybody.
52. don’t know what’s up with Magill. She’s had her hand taped heavily for a few weeks now.
seize the moment wahine!
They showed Magill with ice on her knee…injury? I hope nothing too major!
maglio and huff had 1.000 hitting percentage with 2 and 1 kills respectively
Manu-Olevao ends it 25-22
Yay…there we go…forget and move forward…now take this momentum and win the next two sets…you can do it…Go Bows!
good job tai! keep it up!
wahine whatever happens prepare for a 5 set thriller all out siege.
hmm has the blog died? did everyone else think na wahine would crash again and stopped watch/commenting?
the announcers sound really professional comparing to the matadome. there was also some ‘lets go bows’ in the crowd as well.
is maglio starting? looks like magill might be wounded.
bad passing again
come on wahine!
what a shot by maglio!
Go Maglio
lets go bows! now its not the time to be slow!
64. yes Maglio starting. if you had been reading along, you would have seen Magill was out.
The Beach up 8-3. TO UH
shoji take care of this!
Magill is done for the night. likely a knee
70. yeah i saw magill being taken out. ice on her left knee.
Playing sloppy again…Let’s go girls…
wahine why did you let that happen? you didnt have that happen yesterday. dont let the setter or anyone dump it over.
higgins is being less effective, hitting the net while trying to save it. need koelsch to be in.
except serving. service ace for higgins
ok mendoza should of communicated there and get the ball that was blocked down. why was maglio doing the work?
wahine has fought back. keep it up tai!
15-15. Think they forgot to call the TTO at 15-14. Wahine with the serve.
uh oh magills machine is broken for now.
Radio report on Magill: Strained leg muscle.
kudos to these commentators for doing an objective and precise job!
Hawaii 8-1 run, up 18-15. nice serving by Mendoza.
Ok…what if Maglio stays at middle and Maglio is converted to outside…I bet she could bury some balls on the outside with her hops…Lol…just wishful thinking…Let’s go bows
80. no TTO i think because wahine already had used a TO
UH up 19-17. TO Beach
i wonder if na wahine has something to counter bre mackey
Espn 3 must be delayed cause my score said 15-15 when Cindy posted 18-15…lol
hmm… cindy your live broadcast/radio appears to be seconds faster
89. ditto
lets go bows! close this out!
nice block by adolpho
arg. The beach on a 3-0 run, 49ers up 22-20. TO UH.
All started with Greeley’s SE, 49er ace, Manu-Olevao into the antenna
come on wahine! now its not the time for errors.
89. guess should have said spoiler alert
Nikki Taylor gives nothing to this team in terms of energy or defense. She needs to learn how to give more even when she isn’t involved in the play.
Ponce with another SE. 49ers lead 23-22. Koelsch is in
UH has tied it at 24
Fight girls fight
Higgins called for a back row attack. questionable call goes 49ers way. They win it 26-24
push comes shove hawai’i! shove it over tai!
I hate Nikki’s court coverage. She is slow to any ball near her and she doesn’t line up properly. Talk about slow moving defense.
like i said wahine, prepare to battle it out to the finish in the 5th set. watch out for bre mackey, and shoji you need to replace tayler with koelsch when setter is in the front row.
Oh well…just give it your all girls…at least a better showing than yesterday but still tons of errors…Come on ladies…Fight back…
it is amusing that when UH is winning no one complains about Taylor’s defense.
hey whos job is cover the center of the court? libero? always the hole in the center and no one usually responds. tayler also probably needs a defender.
106. i didnt even know taylors defense was an issue. whos complaining about that?
I am. We have been dumped on by there setter a few times now and Nikki has not been able to pick those up.
stop overpassing wahine!
I feel like other than serving, Olevao is more so hurting the team rather then helping.
wahine quit letting the beach combo you!
Higgin’s back sets to taylor through out the match have been wonky.
The beach up 14-6. TO UH. another call goes against UH. And UH bench yellow carded. Not sure why, other than Shoji has been complaining about the calls.
109. actually nikki did more work than mendoza yesterday. i say thats either hers that she should of been responsible for or someone else.
uh yellow carded? what happened?
so LBSU hits a ball down that is clearly on Hawaii’s side, and they allow it. Hawaii is never gonna win are they
the overpasses are being bad
117. yep, it seems that there’s been a lot of calls against UH last night and tonight. Passi is in
passi seems to scramble and still show whos boss
koelsch dumped and fooled them all
great hustling by hawai’i and what yellow card?
second yellow card on UH, means a point for the Beach. but they’ve now reversed it.
UH with a block, closing to 18-16.
Wth…Come on ref
yellow card revoked??
3-0 run with Manu-Oleval with the kill. UH closes to 18-17. TO Beach
lets go bows! take it to a five set thriller! and win it!
Let’s go wahine…Fight!
having a cardiac here! c’mon bows!
come on bows. must finish.
Taylor and Maglio with a block. UH takes the lead at 21-20. TO Beach
tai with tricky ace!
come on wahine! escape from the fire.
Come on ladies…Tai, please get the serve in…Fight ladies…Maglio playing good.
another tricky ace by tai!
Next year Olevao will make an excellent serving sub with Taylor/Greeley at the outsides, Mitchem at RS, and Magill and Maglio in the middle, Koelsch setting and Kahakai at libero. One can wish.
Greeley with the kill. uh serving at 24-21. Mackie into the antenna. UH wins 25-21
Yes ladies…Fight!
yes wahine! set 5! now fight to the finish!
IDK, must you be so rude?
Manu-Olevao with 12 kills 5 aces
Yay…now that’s how to fight…funny how things changed once Maglio came in…maybe just coincidence but nonetheless…Go bows!
kalei model A is rallying her bows. command away a win kalei!
UH needs a fast start…can’t afford to trail early.
rude? please point out my being rude.
what a classless act by Brian.
Put red bull in their water Dave…co.e on…lol
yes 12 kills. How many errors? I appreciate her aces, which is why I said she’ll make an excellent serving sub.
144. She thinks you are dissing Olevao because of her inconsistent match
Both teams 0-1 in 5 set matches.
stop bre mackey wahine. and help greeley out.
Manu-Oleval with her 6th ace. Magill back in
strong ace by tai!
I was late to the game, but what happened to Olivia?
need to pull away wahine. now.
very surprised Shoji didn’t call the TO sooner. UH was up 5-3. The Beach now leads 7-5. TO UH
come on wahine. win a 5 set for once.
Put in Huff
UH starting to give it away…
Why does Taylor H make stupid set choices and awful sets?
49ers up 8-6 at the changeover.
uh used 2 TOs already??
come on sarah. you should said your ball and get that.
TO fixed. wahine stop okpala and mackey
What happened to Olivia
olivia iced on her left knee
come on wahine! lets go bows!
Hitting error by 49ers ties it at 11.
now its time to win it wahine!
The Beach up 13-11. TO UH.
tayler higgins unfortunately is easily sundered in the back row
164. Ashley, as mentioned above … Magill out with a strained leg muscle. suffered in Early in Set 2.
Taylor hits long. it’s 14-11
Don’t think UH can handle 5 sets.
Mackie with the kill 15-11. first time The beach has beaten Hawaii since 2000
its over isnt it?
Young team with several injuries.
oh well. i guess the beach deserves the win. they defeated the shock troops of na wahine. and our lady bows were just weakened from the start of the road trip. i just hoped our ladies could of won one 5 set game.
add to that, dont think uh is winning the big west this season or is having a postseason are they?
I was afraid of Hawaii going to 5 because we don’t play that well under pressure but the wahine made it a close game…we never laid down and kept fighting…back to the drawing board and a big emphasis on the fundamentals…especially passing…now the Uc Irvine and Fullerton road trip seems to be tougher than expected…Grow from this ladies…Go bows!
Knock off this young team baloney. No more excuses please.
Olivia tweak a muscle on the side of her lower leg,not serious they said.
Good job by Maglio filling in.
better showing than last night I’ll give them that. had Olivia been able to play, maybe a different result. tbh, Tai is weak on the road, the refs have something against hawaii, or maybe that’s just me think that. Other than that, I like that they fought tonight. When do we get them back in hawaii? (Both Teams)
181. agreed. no more of this young team nonsense. today even though they lost proved that they are in on way a ‘young team’ albeit they played the opening set as though wounded.
It was truly a team effort win. The Beach and the officials did a better job than the Wahine tonight.
181. If you can’t handle reality, that’s your issue. Young in terms of age and experience, exacerbated by injuries to two top players. No excuses, just the kind of performance one would expect with what they have.
179. Let’s not talk doom and gloom yet. Plenty of season left to play.
People need to take a chill pill…expectations were too high for this team.
oh yeah and so much for the rpi and being #21. probably barely hang on at #25 come monday if lucky.
It’s a sad loss, but at least we lost fighting. I give props Maglio for filling in for Magill, in my opinion, she did great.
186. Who cares about RPI? UH has bigger problems than worrying about RPI and more laughably, seeding. True, a few more losses will preclude a postseason trip, but UH isn’t out of the tournament yet.
maglio did awesome. anyone want to see the replay of na wahines glorious lost http://espn.go.com/watchespn/player/_/id/2005593/
some key factors of the loss include the overpasses. na wahine havent adapt to controlling that have they?
188. like i said, ‘so much’ for the rpi.
181. Yep. That is what the announcers said. Magill not seriously hurt and that she probably could have returned to the match but Shoji wanted to play it safe. Magill will be okay for the next match.
Admit was frustrated many times this match. Higgins went to the outside almost exclusively in the latter part of the match. Even with good passes Higgins did not go to Adolpho even though she was hitting well at the beginning of the match. I was yelling at the screen, set the middle but alas the ball always went to the outside where the ball was either blocked or picked up. By the way, I haven’t seen the stats but it seems that LBSU had a lot more blocks than the Bows a rarity this season.
181.
You kind of on the naive-side, eh? (pardon me for saying so)
You haven’t yet figured out that you are generally in conversation with mere fans?
I know that you know the game, in fact I’d dare say that you’re a former Wahine.
Yet I figured out quite a while ago that it’s a moot/fruitless point to try and direct public opinion on this site because you’re again, generally speaking, attempting to persuade folks who really don’t know too much.
Cindy gets in with her mana’o from time to time, but she’s right there in the practice gym so go figure.
Anyway, just saying es al.
190. OK so you are the master of the obvious. Well done.
you know somebody actually complained about nikki taylors defense. actually i would say more so her gun is broken (her armswings just lack the terminating power). isnt she ambidextrous? need to start drilling using her other arm. i would. and i am actually ambidextrous (and thats surprising because both my guns are broken and had 2 surgeries apiece)
for defense i think its more of isnt it mendoza supposed to keep in line as said she kind of has by shoji? its either she communicate she gets the ball and gets it or tell the others as a senior and cocaptain to get it if its beyond her reach.
Way too early to say UH won’t win the Big West.
194. I’m surprised we haven’t seen a post predicting that UH will go to division II at the rate the team is going with its inconsistent play.
UH Manoa should drop their WVB program all together. 🙂
They should stick with sand vb and MVB and the state should grant resources to UH Hilo for a Div.II MVB team.
The SSC should be used for more community events/concerts so that the school can generate revenue for MUCH aide. Hawai’i is in the red. UH should climb back into the Top 25 by years-end (winning the BW) and Shoji should fold it all up sending his recruits to HPU’s indoor Div.II team. 😉
Chaminade should do the same thing and drop their WVB team for an exclusive only Sand VB team too.
189. no excuses. the fact is only players who were in the same position as last season are Adolpho and Taylor, who is coming back from injury
. Higgins was not the starting setter, Manu-Olevao was not the L1, Mendoza not the libero, Magill and Greeley new.
I agree way too early to say that they are out of the Big West race. They are in a position similar to last year. Beating LBSU and CSUN at home and guarding against upsets from the rest of the Big West teams puts them right back in it.
198. thank you for some sanity. other comments don’t deserve dignifying with a response.
Here’s the link to the box
http://www.longbeachstate.com/sports/w-volley/stats/2014-2015/1011uh.html
Regarding scheduling, I looked at both basketball schedules and they have a day between the 2 road games. Why can’t they do the same for the wahine volleyball team.
Five Wahine in double-digit digs, led by Mendoza’s 23
both teams with 77 digs. UH outblocked for the second straight match, 16-11
Wahine 10 aces, 12 SE; Beach 5 aces, 11 SEs.
Not giving up on these girls. Can’t count them out of the title yet and they are still in the tournament.
Agree that Taylor’s terminating arm is the one missing but cant really blame her she injured it. I expect a little shuffling on the OH hitters from coach onto the next game. Hopefully Magill will be ok by then. Next game will be 12 days from now she will have enough time to rest. this team haven’t play with a full roster on. Hope to see kahakai on the next game also.
Watching the replay, in the 4th set, 18-14, the commentator says a player from Hawaii got a yellow card, who was it?
Just back from the game. There was a section of us UH fans that was cheering the girls on. Hope the girls felt the support. We really boo the up ref when he pulled the yellow card on Dave. Other than a bad start, the girls played hard on every point. Unfortunately, mistakes and inconsistencies appeared in critical moments -all classic signs of a young team. Those with the need to complaint and blame, will do so. IMHO, it is as the coaches, players and pundits have said all along- this team is going to take time to develop – whether you like it or not. I really like this team for their effort and “heart”. Be patient. It will come.
Pretty sure they gave Shoji a yellow card. Neither I nor anyone else around could figure out what the call was that got reversed. But that call got all the Wahine riled up, Shoji off the bench yelling, and at least 3-5 minutes of booing from the Hawaii crowd. Eventually the up ref reversed the call after arguing with the other ref. In years of watching VB I’ve never seen a scene like that, I expected people to start throwing things. Not sure what it looked like to those watching on tv.
It was pretty obvious that the best players were not on the floor from the start of the season. Start Kendra. The excuses that Dave provided about her set location is tenuous. It’s clear that our current setter has not done much with all the rep’s she’s received thus far, so get her out and give a Kendra a go. As far as our outsides, all of them including 6’3″ Taylor are mediocre and would fair better at a lower division of play at best. We need to recruit. Biggest and brightest star we have is Magill. Now that she’s hurt, we’re reduced to a very vanilla (below average) squad. Looking forward to an entirely new face of Wahine volleyball. As far as the legendary Dave Shoji, everyone in the nation has caught up to his system and has surpassed both his philosophies and strategies. It’s no doubt dated and the recruitment to such an illustrious atmosphere for volleyball is an atrocity. Why doesn’t anyone who’s anyone in the volleyball world want to come here? Nothing against the student-athletes that we have here now, but come’on, where are all the All-Americans?
hmm this blog got misaligned. na wahine probably needs to train up for some shock drilling including going against a 5 set. couldnt tai or somebody reminded them that this would of been the time at set 5 with 11 points apiece to go just like vs irvine in set 3? or that should of been done in set 3 as well, only lacking is tayler higgins which shoji should of had koelsch take care of. as for the refs now there thats some really dubious calls especially that second yellow card thing and a call for a lift after the fact when the up ref already awarded uh the point. its like the first scene of refs have to argue with each other and finally upp ref had to ‘reverse the curse’ (award uh first, change mind with second thoughts, then having to be convinced and reverting back to first call in the first place).
give them a yellow card, no evidence of reason. that was essentially the refs solution. or if we cant criticize the refs as the officials, they either treated the match in the worst circumstances or made calls of a curious nature.
i hope to see na wahine come back in an angry roar come cal poly in the sheriff, i bet they want to unleash their pain.
UH is a very slow-starting team…I’ve heard that said about this year’s squad and practically every squad since 1990…They need to be aggressive from the first whistle…I’m tired of seeing UH get off to a slow start then have to play catch-up…This week they started really slowly against CSUN (& Beach, actually) and never caught up…
Totally agree, 209. This team doesn’t start rolling until late in the game. And in a game where momentum counts, you can’t do that against good teams, you’ll never make up the point deficit. They really needs to make stronger starts with all guns blazing.
206. I think you’ve stated what many hate to admit. we have a pretty good ‘middle’ of the pack Div 1 team thats getting better. But the truth is
Na Wahine have talent but it’s easy for us fans to over estimate and expect more based on what we’ve seen in the past. I’m sure coach is thinking about changes but even with the use of Kendra as many are calling for, our defense and passing is what it is and it ain’t too good. No answers here just hope eternal but we have what we have and it’s a team that, at least for now, cannot beat top 25 teams and has trouble with good teams outside of the top 25 in the Big West. It is what it is!!
197. Your point about UH’s players not playing their positions until this year is a weak point.
CSUN’s setter had not even played in a D1 match until last night. And to me, the setter position is arguably the most vulnerable position to have someone start in their first D1 match and yet, her performance against UH was masterful.
I also should mention that LBSU’s setter is a transfer from Iowa St. who didn’t play with the team until this season. And again, her performance against UH tonight was masterful. Both setters were in control even when chasing down bad passes. They fooled the block, they gave hitters one on one situations and they better the ball. So if anybody has an excuse for new players in new positions, both CSUN and LBSU have there share of getting used to each other and they still won. UH and its protectors can make excuses all they want, UH still loss and now the rest of the conference will watch both matches and exploit UH. UH is quick to make excuses but short on competing consistently.
Hello, play Kendra, Huff, Maglio, Baby G and Anderson. This is a recording. They not only are talented, but they have guts and are eager to play. Passi and Long have been given reserved roles, but their effort has increased. Do the same to the so called “starters”. They need to sit and watch and value their court time. Look what happened to Ikaika Woolsey after losing a start…Tayler Higgins needs to sit. Take it in and reinvent her game. We need a fresh QB.
can we try the 6-2 now? … setting is a weakness, and i would have hoped that higgins would have found a consistency by now. but if she and koelsch shared duties, it might help both setters to find focus. they’d only need to be consistent for 3 rotations, rather than 6.
in a 6-2, i’d switch taylor and olevao. put taylor on the left, and olevao at opposite — a passing opposite. again the limited time as a passer might allow olevao to focus more on only the 3 rotations she’s asked to pass.
taylor is more comfortable on the left anyway. higgins’ sets to the left are more consistent than her backsets to the right pin and to the D set. give taylor more of the quality sets to swing on. and the D set isn’t quite the weapon that it can be yet, with taylor still coming back from injury.
i’m just trying to figure out some adjustments that might work. i don’t know if these are the answer. but this weekend proved that adjustments need to be made. and these might help to emphasize the team’s strengths, while limiting the weaknesses that opposing teams can exploit.
if not anything along these lines, then i hope the coaching staff comes up with something that will propel the team forward.
Wow, the perfectionists are out in full force. How sad! Just re-watched the game to see the yellow card incident again. Just love hearing us boo the up ref again!! It was so much fun! Things I really liked was Tai and Taylor H. getting the serves in during critical moments in set 4 and 5. It must give the staff a lot confidence that they can deliver it in moments that really count. Also really felt for K. Greeley as the Beach targeted her on every possible serve. It was tough for her but the repetitions will only make her better. Proud seeing how the K. Adolpha and Sarah rallied the team. For Taylor N., hang in there as your day will come. Also saw DS Anderson do a jump floater for the first time. Very nice.
They have almost two weeks to work out the kinks. Guess the new girls are finding out what D-1 volleyball is all about.
216. Kazu, I totally agree with you. My sentiment, too.
When I watched the Long Beach match, the Wahines seemed as sleepy and lethargic as I was. I guess the 8-hour delay at the airport wore them out. It sure would have worn me out. Also, the soccer team affected by the delay, also lost both of their road matches. Anyone knows which airline that was? Dave Shoji should not book with that airline again. Maybe try Hawaiian Airlines which is more on time and also sponsors one of our September tournaments.
I don’t blame the girls for losing both matches. This was a tough and brutal road trip and many of them are new. Hope that they can get lots of practice the next two weeks. Cal Poly is a better team than last year and UCSB is also improving steadily.
213 Can appreciate your on-going drum beat for your favorite player – but deleted your recording. It was redundant. IMHO, it is without merit. The setting on this team is “set” in large part by a certain setting coach who is a 3x Olympic setter. So perhaps you should re-direct your campaign and directly challenge the judgment and competency of the setting coach? I can’t wait to hear your new narrative.
here is a kicker come the ucsb match. no tai sunday, courtesy of your uh football who (apparently) won yesterday. and i say that because them winning nowadays is a rarity.
Present at both games on road…tai -manu olevao should resort to serving specialist and outsides. Way too of many shanks and errors passing the ball from the top of her forearm. Need a ds/ back there. Kendra brings life and makes plays. She should be inserted earlier and often in a set. Looks like she’s got good leadership qualities and can contribute much more. Nikki Taylor is not playing to beast-like of last year..If she really is not going be a factor due to injury, let her rest and get a girl 100% ready to go.our back row are allowing too many balls drop to the floor. They either are reacting, flat-footed, and bad communicating….Maglio did a fantastic job coming for Magill and contributed wonderfully.
in case anyone didnt know/noticed, magill had ice on both her knees after the vs irvine game like 2 big bulges
Magill has ice on her knees after every match. You only saw it because she wasn’t playing in the latter part of the match.
