i also think that with 3 teams sharing the conference title last year, coaches votes were more spread out, and tended to favor spreading the awards around. if hawaii had dominated and won it outright, it might’ve tipped the awards in favor of hawaii (and, in turn, taylor might’ve won FOY). these awards always seem to be dominated by the conference champion, as we all know.

in context, last year’s individual awards really were spread out among the 3 teams at the top — hawaii, ucsb and csun. hartong was POY, spindt from ucsb got FOY, and welch (ucsb) and stork (csun) shared the coach of the year honor.

will have to let the Big West know that their record book is incorrect since they list Taylor as the winner.
Have to correct myself about Kawamura. for some reason got her confused with Kam, who transferred, injured , returned home.
Kawamura has decided to retire from volleyball as well. Believe she is working for HECO.

31. Spindt won the FOY for that reason, she played 6 rotations and Nikki Taylor not, until the very last few matches.

30. thanks. I was looking at the Big West record book and they have Taylor listed as the FOY, not Spindt.
Sorry Mei Mei, my bad.

ohh thanks Cindy for the clarification!
I think Greeley’s serve/receive is exceptional and believe she passes more than the other back row players?… at least it seems that way from previous game played thus far. that should be a factor as well not just the hitting/offense aspect.

cindy — ali spindt from ucsb was last year’s big west freshman of the year. not taylor, altho she did make the all-freshmen team.

27. Mei Mei, Taylor was Big West FOY last season. Where the problem came was at the all-regional level, how Hawaii was put in with some of the Pac-12 teams, etc.

28. Withers FOW came against nonconference. We’ll see how things play out during conference play. But you are right, that Greeley is surrounded by other solid players does limit her swings.

27. Greeley will have to put up some impressive performances during the BW season to win FOY. Niki W. of Fullerton has already won 3 FOW honors, and she is the go to hitter on their team because of the lack of good terminators. Kalei on the other hand is surrounded by terminators, three on the front row on most rotations, and even one or two in the backrow.

Kalei G is my vote for Big West Frosh of the year…. hope she doesn’t get robbed like Nikki did last year ~
