The bottom line is they don’t have a lot of options on offense. They have no back-row attack. They need Greeley on the court but she’s about 80 percent. Burns has a hard time hitting behind the setter.
Will see what happens tomorrow
BTW, 05 they went 0-2 in Omaha. 76 they opened 0-2 against UCLA matches played at Blaisdell and War Memorial to technically this is the first time they’ve been 0-2 at home. Ever.

Hosting was out of the picture so why so mad about the loss? Ksu looked good no surprise they swept arizona would not shock me if they beat wisconsin tomorrow too.

I think the wahine will get very far if Nikki and Annie come back 100 percent and once Iosia gets more match experience, we need our backrow to improve though kahakai, greeley granato and the ds of the moment need to get it together.

In the post-game interviews, S. Kahakai mentioned that one area the team could improve upon was their ‘spirit.’

Through set 4, the wahines looked flat and lacked intensity – certainly a complete turnaround from the previous night’s match with Wisconsin. I hope N. Taylor’s (possible) return next week will give them a well needed terminator, and inject the intensity they had in the final 2 sets against the Lady Badgers.

isn’t it ironic how last night the only set we won, Norene was setting. & tonight the only set we won Tayler was setting. lol, just realized that. i won’t throw in the towel just yet, but Hawaii really needs to pull it together before it gets any worse

103. yes even the blocking was missing. and while service errors were accosting kansas st, the latter sets it was also accosting na wahine.

99. this was incredibly worse than wisconsin match. wahine no longer undefeated against a team that they should be and were beaten by a volleyball team that despite being big12 doesnt really comparably exist on the map. balls were dropping and makes you wonder they did not get that. like a waste of previous efforts.

So what will it be like next year when both Nikki Taylor and Annie Mitchem graduated? The team will be thoroughly depleted. Shoji will probably retire at the end of this year and save himself more headache and heartache.

99. Totally agree with you…to be fair, any team would struggle without their go-to player…last year Arizona State looked all-world…then their top hitter went down and their season went with her…I think that Hawaii’s best days are ahead of them…
