Those wins do carry weight. The problem is the teams ahead of Hawaii also keep winning. It’s just how voting in these polls work. As mentioned, a real case could be made for UCI and Hawaii to trade spots, given that UH went 5 twice with No. 2 and UCI got past winless UCSD in four. However, UCI also has a nonconference win over UH.

For one thing, there are three automatic berths into the NCAA tournament. The only EIVA team in the Top 15 is No. 13 Harvard so unless Penn State makes a late run, the Crimson will be in

The battle at the moment will be which of the MIVA teams are in or out: you have Loyola, Lewis, IPFW and Ball State all ranked. And there will be a League Carolinas berth in the play-in game.

For another thing, that East Coast-Midwest time difference doesn’t play a big role. the only time it might is if Hawaii has a rare Sunday match. but the Saturday results are available real time and in time for Sunday voting.

BTW, Sedore AVCA player of the week.

For now, just ignore them. League standings are the only thing that matters.

Our matches are past the times of the East Coast coaches bed times and the Midwest coaches (unless they’ve been to Hawaii) don’t count us in for much over the past few years.

We did win the 3rd tie breaker with USC (for MPSF tourney seeding), so that may count for something when the MPSF tourney happens should Hawaii and USC finish close to each other.

For now. I guess Warriors just have to keep winning. Upcoming games against Pepperdine, UCLA, BYU and Stanford will provide more than enough opportunity to show what kind of team the are.
