Please, you supporters, or detractors, of kastl and manu-olevao, read Sec. 11.3.2.3, NCAA collegiate
volleyball rules. Perhaps then you will begin to understand why Coach Shoji plays each player, when
and where, as he does.

Kastl is taller than Manu. Also, Manu also struggles as much as Kastl if not more.

Sorry people but what does being a Senior got to do with having her start over an underclassman. You play your best player in that position, period!!!!!

IMHO – & 2cents in… i agree with all the Kastl comments… sorry if i offend anyone but, “Ginger against taller teams won’t match up” as quoted by Coach, although an exhibition last night, it was chance for her to show what she can do, but made way too many errors — I do hope as the season progresses that Kastl becomes a starter… i think because she is a Senior she would have more to offer than “the should have been red shirt” Tai…

that Kastl is a senior may be against her in the long run. She is gone after this season. You have Long for two more years to be developed. same line of reasoning as Manu-Olevao. no question in my mind that Manu-Olevao is the better ‘athlete’. But did think Kastl played very well after some early struggles last night.

I too am a fan of Kastl. However, I have to go along with Shoji in starting Tai Manu-Olevao over Kastl. For one Tai is taller and is much more athletic (jumps higher and is quicker and faster). They both hit hard and both don’t often make wise hitting decisions—both get blocked a bit too much—hence their being tagged with the “inconsistent” label. However, I DO think that Kastl should get the call before Ginger Long. Kastl has more experience and has more offensive firepower. Besides she is a senior.

42. agree on kastl as a starter this season for 4 reasons. 1. brings heat. 2. i don’t see her as being any more inconsistent than olevao. 3. can play any day of the week. 4. she’s a senior.

dave probably knows something we don’t.

39. UH probably should have won Set 2. they didn’t. They didn’t set Hartong as much as they could have on purpose.
they got what they wanted out of it. a lot of players saw the court, no injuries, good warmup for Friday.
41. Kastl will likely start Sunday, as she did the last Sunday match when Manu-Olevao didn’t play.
36. only thing I know about Goodman was she never took the warmup pants off.

Yep I agree Kastl brings energy to the floor. She should play much more…Guaranteed she will start Sunday (omg)

Kastl started slow, settled down for a very nice match.

Hawaii wasn’t going 100 percent. They never intended to Good defense both sides, the Japanese very good early. finished with 62-55 edge in digs. UH out-blocked them 8-6.
off to Kailua. it’s too cold in here to stay any longer
