19. thought I explained what it meant but, as you say, could be likened to baseball should the game-winning RBI be a walkoff. The box will usually say something like
1 out when winning run scored.

I’ve always thought “order of finish” is similar to what baseball would call the game winning RBI.
Order of start is not necessary order of finish. If UH wins flights 5 and 4 and flight 3 runs into over time and flight 2 finish before flight 3 then flight 2 would be the one who wins us the dual.
In 3-2 wins, it could help us see who won us the match. 3-2 wins does necessarily means the match came down to how flight 1 did.
I don’t know if it was meant for that but that is what I used that piece of information for.

Surprised Hittle spent only one year in Dartmouth. Wish her well at Portand State.

Based on rankings a few weeks ago 5 of 6 teams in next years MPSF and next year’s Big West teams were ranked. Competition will still be stiff.

#14 My thoughts exactly. Tara is an all-time favorite of mine. Also, winning the Big West and getting the automatic bid next year will not be easy. Right now the most important thing is to beat BYU.

#12 Good for Tara. She was big time in HS and club VB here in CO. What it could have been if she made it onto Robyn’s staff and possibly add CO as a recruiting ground.

Hoping Ohio St takes care of business on their end. Not saying they would do this, but it could help their conference get more exposure to have more of their conference on the national stage. Even if they don’t win their tournament, they’re in, so they could throw it knowing it will keep a west team out of the tournament.

Not saying they would do that or they will, but sportsmanship is sportsmanship.

Hawaii just needs to win their own conference tournament, which I know they can. They just keep getting better and better. And BYU on a neutral court is a very different team then at their gym.

11. Regarding why Hawaii’s move to the Big West was beneficial:

Some great comments in the following blog posting: Comments #2 and #3

Also this article: “UH, MPSF men’s volleyball teams to move to Big West”

The author should be familiar.

10. Not sure why you say that moving was beneficial. There was no option. Any Big West school with a men’s volleyball program had to go to the BWC.

There was no question Hawaii had the better RPI in 2015. Pepperdine didn’t then and still doesn’t play much out of conference. Hawaii has played 29 matches, travels to play MIVA teams. Pepperdine has played 22, 18 of those in the MPSF.

anyway, former Wahine Tara Hittle new assistant at Portland State
