DF & P&G
If you need to check anything, such as the years players played and All-America awards, the UH media guide is online on hawaiiathletics.com the wahine volleyball page on the right. Although it looks it is 2012 and not 2013 yet.
70. UH was the most successful team in terms of W-Ls between 2000-2004 nationally. 31-2, 29-6, 34-2, 26-2, 30-1, 3 final fours. the only thing eluding them was a title.

Williams a 3x first team A-A 87-89, 2x national player of the year 87 & shared it in 89 with Tara Cross
Jessie second team A-A 87
Eagye 2x first team A-A 86, 87
Trieschman first team A-A 89, 90 wasn’t an all-American in 87 or 88
Ahuna (won’t call her a true OPP) Second team A-A in 85, 86, not in 87, although she was A-A at the USVBA tournament
Cincerova second team A-A, 88, not 87. very much a surprise at that one

FWIW Hawaii went to three final fours with Willoughby: 2000(Nebraska), 2002(Stanford) and 2003(Florida). Finishing each of those seasons in the national semifinals.

Cindy a pleasure finally meeting you. Wanted to introduce myself a while back and yesterday the timing was right. You and Ann are doing a great job, dealing with a few human negatives and the odd and amount of hours you both put in. Personally from me, all of both of your works are very much appreciated.

1987:
ALL-AMERICAN’S’

2x @ OH (Teee, Diana)
2x @ MB (Suzanne, Karrie)
@ OPP (Tita)
@ Setter (Martina)

The whole 1st team–I’d say–was the cream of the NATIONAL crop.

60,61, & 62, I come up with only 6 seniors for 2003: Lauren Duggins, Lily Kahumoku, Karin Lundquist, Nohea Tano, Melissa Villaroman, and Kim Willoughby. Who am I missing, just asking. Not trying to start anything.

By the way, I am wrong, the 1987 National Championship Team only had 4 seniors: Tita Ahuna, Suzanne Eagye, Mahina Eleneki, and Diana Jessie. But these 4 seniors all came in together and played 4 years together. They were also, undersized, with the exception of Eagye.

Like that 1987 team, this year’s team has 4 seniors who have been here through it all, Emily Hartong, Kristiana Tuaniga, Keala Goodman, and Mita Uiato.

That 2003 team had a lot of talent, but did not quite have the heart, as the uninspired loss to Florida showed. That 1987 team did NOT have all the talent in the world, with the exception of a couple of players, BUT that team had a whole lot of heart to make up for the talent.

Dave Shoji will find out real quickly how much HEART this year’s team has. Even if the Wahine lose to Texas, if they fight, and scrap, all the way to the bitter end. The sky is the limit for this team.

63: and a little luck of the draw doesn’t hurt.

58. yes, the logic if you can call it that was a reach. Hawaii’s roster has long been one of diversity. and the bottom line is heart to go along with the talent.
