6. took me a while to find parking but the free lot on Paki had spaces. you just had to walk 3-4 blocks.
7. she is and her game is well-suited to sand, which is her love.
Sweet that her grandfather … Lisa Strand-Maa’s dad … got to see her play this week.

Spieler really excelling in sand. I wonder how she would have done if she continued with indoor.

Thanks for the info Fwf. I could not find a place to park so I missed it all. Any more results available?

No surprise that Karissa Cook and Brittany Tiegs won the whole thing.
Big surprise is they had to beat Katie Spieler/Nikki Taylor for the championship. It’s awesome to hear how good the Speiler/Taylor pairing is, did not expect them to be UH’s second best pair, I thought they would be 5th/6th at best, Great job.

UH beach team must be really deep this season if their number 5 pair can beat Long Beach’s 1/2 pair.

I can’t wait to see how UH’s does against Pepperdine and USC.

Can’t say I disagree with Rayson. Ramos had a really bad night and the passing certainly didn’t help.
UH MUST win Sunday if they want to make the playoffs IMO. Winning at Stanford and Pepperdine will be really hard and UCI and Stanford are UH”s big threats get those 7th and 8th spots in the tournament since UH already blew it against UCSB and USC.

For Irvine, I thought Stork played a large part in their win.

For the Warriors, from the very first point I thought the Warrior’s passing was suspect. What kept them up was their serving. If only they had won that 2nd set. Once their serving fell apart it was all down hill. Siki was yet again targeted on serve and he needs to step it up. On the other hand, Olsen needs to be a bigger and more consistent
offensive threat to take some of the pressure off of Siki. They’ve seen this game plan before, they should have been ready.

Half the time Ramos had to run down balls, the other half of the time, Ramos’s poor set selection and placement cost them. Why Wade didn’t sub in Franciskovic earlier is beyond me.

Wade should have just phoned it in tonight. His coaching or lack of coaching didn’t seem to make any difference tonight.
