The Rainbow Wahine of the Big West Conference got nine of the 10 first-place votes. The other went to Creighton of the Big East, which is ranked third. The No. 2 team is BYU of the West Coast Conference.

The VolleyballMag.com Mid-Major Poll includes teams from the 27 non power conferences and is the first of its type in NCAA volleyball.

14. it took quite a bit of discussion before Robyn Ah Mow replaced Anderson. If I remember correctly it didn’t happen the first match of the 94 season tho, which was Anderson’s senior season.

13. Interesting that she said chance to “start” vs chance to “play”. While Norene might be the “next Kanoe”, she is not THE Kanoe. She did look good at the scrimmage and I think might start by the end of the year if she adapts well to D1 and continues to improve.

10. agree. since Koelsch is taking a lot of reps at OH, i think it is between Iosia and Higgins.

11. hard to say about middles other than Maglio starting. Burns has shown a lot of up side but her footwork needs work and she needs to focus every play. sometimes gets lost. I like Castillo but since she’s also taking reps at OH, probably won’t have a starting lineup until Thursday. Or even Friday

12. was scheduled to get in tonight and be at practice Wednesday.

13 that has been the trend so I would assume Higgins starts Friday. but doesn’t mean we won’t see Iosia this weekend. She has great hands and a real court presence.

13. That is not always true. I remember Robyn Ah Mow took the starting position from upper-classman Kari Anderson back in 1993-94. So I believe Dave will start whoever is deserving this Friday. Higgins obviously has the inside track with 2+ years of experience as the starting setter for Hawaii but so did Kari before Robyn took over.

Saw Norene’s mom, she is really really nice. She said she just wants her daughter to have a chance to start. I told her Coach Shoji has a history of starting the seniors instead of best players, but all is not lost.
