44. Looked up Mau’s bio as well. didn’t get much playing time at Minnesota, more after transferring to Arizona. Played in 48 of the 119 sets last season. If you remember, Kingdon was their big gun last year.

39. thanks. I’ll have to look since I am not a frequent visitor to VT. Did I lock down the blog? I did close it recently when putting up a new thread. There were a few hours when the new link didn’t show up so apologies for that.
And sometimes our blogs are offline for maintenance of which I have no control.

42. thanks. just a typo.

That at OH, how about setting with Higgins, Snuka, and Loxley Keala? Just a thought?
We have so much talent here…All we really would need is the BIG Middles from the mainland since we grow them short here in Hawaii nei

It is just amazing how many great talent from Hawaii that is taking center stage and contributing big time in their respective teams and conferences. If we had TMO, Taylor, Kan, and Mau from Hawaii on the same team who would be the backups at OH. Great question huh? I know who my starters would be….who would be yours?

I don’t know how true this is but the Pac 12 Network announcers kept saying that Kalei Mau was mostly a bench warmer in her first two years of college volleyball with a surprise breakout this year. Looked at her resume; transferred from Minnesota and seemed like she had some playing time with Arizona as a sophomore but her statistics weren’t that impressive. It does seem she blossomed late a la Britanny Hewitt. As I said before, Hawaii should be proud that there are four possible Hawaii-born All-Americans this year in Nikki Taylor, Carly Kan, Kalei Mau, Adora Anae. By the way Penina Snuka looked like an All-American libero in the Stanford match. She made some incredible, acrobatic digs in the back row.

Cindy on your Top 25 scores you have Illinois as No #11 but they are #7. UCLA is #11 but they will probably be there next week. Wisconsin looked really good.

Arizona has Mau and Snuka, and Stanford has Lutz and Bugg. I think its pretty equal and the match reflected it.

Agree Cindy. Very tiring to hear the “Oh I wish so and so had stayed home.’ comments from the same people. Again and again. Also tiring for me to hear “I wish so and so plays more’ repeated from the same people. Emily Maglio has developed into a much improved player because she has gotten the proper playing time. Great job by Coach Shoji and the staff. The constant and repeated second guessing by the same posters is a pain.

36. Agree. And that one poster who claimed he never goes on VT was just there whining that Cindy locked down the blog.
