The reigning 2013 AVCA POY, Krista Vansant, will be throwing the first ball @ Safeco Field (Mariners are hosting Kansas City) tomorrow, Saturday, May 10th.
In 2014, UW will be ranked in the Top 5 of the NCAAs.
In 2014, UH will be ranked in the Top 15-20 range.

On an unrelated topic, will the high school boys volleyball state championship be televised, live-streamed or even shown on delayed basis (or uploaded on YouTube by anybody)?

They made it in the MPSF 13-11, in the MPSF playoffs that year with Joshua Walker at 6-1. OH with Jonas Umlauf #10 6-9 tall. They lost in the quarterfinals or the 1st match played in the playoffs of MPSF tournament. Backup was Jerod Lofy also 6-9 tall for UH Warriors.
Who's Confused?

I realize that UH will lose to UCLA this upcoming fall.
I’ll further honor CL with “Happy Mother’s Day!”
I’m melancholy, at the moment, about UH WVB’s slide from GREATNESS.the decade~1/2 of superiority (80s–> 90s).
Hawai’i preseason tournaments USED to be the best in the nation.
UW is hosting three top 25 teams in their singular, 2014 preseason tourney.
I guess I shouldn’t compare UW and UH the way that I sometimes do.
Somebody had said that UW,WVB has taken UH,WVB’s spot as one of THE Dawgs.
A hui hou. 😉

so UW puts together an early season tournament with ranked teams — for the first time in, well, ever — but it’s Hawaii whose tournaments “used to be the best”? a one-time thing is not a trend.
just last year Hawaii hosted Texas and San Diego in the season-opening tournament.
“who’s confused?” … you got that right! you may claim to “realize” a lot of thing, but i’m not sure you realize the irony of your own moniker.

Emily Maglio’s club team posted links to her matches at the Canadian Nationals over the weekend.
I caught 3 of them and although they lost in the quarter finals I thought our new Emily was great. It has been 2 years since I watched videos of her and the improvement was very noticeable. She seems to be at least 2 ” taller and bulkier and it looks like she has been spending time with the weights.
Em-2 sees the court really well,she likes the deep left corner and flirting with the back line,she also mixed up things up with well placed tips. Her passing was good, her blocking needs a little work. I did noticed that most of the club teams in the tournament didn’t use the slide much,I only saw her do it once.
After recently learning that our coaches were watching her progress for two years I see why.Before anyone brings it up yes I’m aware that D1 will be a whole lot different and obviously most incoming freshman need work in some area and she will be no exception but I think we have a rising star in Em.

Who are the newcomers again and what positions will they play? Magill, Greeley, Huff…middle or outside? Who else?

The incoming freshman that I’m aware but you never know what has changed or who else is hiding in the bushes.One example of change is Koelsch who originally committed as sand only but now both.
Also positions and heights might no be right on, that is just what I picked up from club sites and other sources.
Just helping out with a few facts. Add Keani Passi who will see the court for the first time as a redshirt junior as is Magill a junior. The seven other newcomers are all fresh out of high school. I go way back, but I can’t recall a year where UHWVB had so many incoming high school freshmens (?).

14. 2011 had seven freshmen – Ginger Long, Monica Stauber, Jade Vorster, Kayla Kawamura, Kalei Adolpho, Elizabeth Blake and Jane Croson. Five of those have already departed the team, with Long and Adolpho as the only holdovers. 2009 had just three freshmen – Kristiana Tuaniga, Kristina Kam and Paige Mitchell, but had several transfer newcomers – Corinne Cascioppo, Alex Griffiths, Alexis Forsythe and Alexis Robins.

Looks like Scott Wong got himself some good recruits.
Gianna Guinasso was named AVCA High School Sand VB All American also
Hi’ilawe Huddleston and Ka’iwi Schucht named AVCA Honorable Mention AA.
Kind of weird for there to be a HS sand all american team and have no Pepperdine or USC commits make it.
Of the three, I definitely see Guinasso being the only one to break through to one of the 5 pairs. Guinasso is 5′ 9 so not too small , maybe pair her up with Karlee Riggs.

Is Guinasso confirmed for indoor? How good is she as an indoor player?
