82. Hawaii has 4 seniors, 2 are out and Ponce didn’t play. So Higgins is the only senior who did.
The lineup in Set 3: Sibley, Burns, Iolsia; freshmen; Koelsch, Maglio, Anderson, Greeley, Guinasso, Kahakai juniors; Granato a sophomore.
In Set 4, same players as in Set 3 plus Castillo, a sophomore, and Smith a freshman.
Sibley was 5-0-9 in Set 3, 3-5-14 in Set 4.

Imo id start iosia and use higgins as a serving sub/play backrow for Castillo or Koelsch.

Good Effort by Wahine tonight!

Iosia was fantastic and Sibley was life support for the left side. Burns had some good moments and Greeley was steady in the back row. Castillo is coming around and Maglio did her best but could use more confidence.

For this tournament: Iosia needs to play, Sibley needs to play, Castillo needs to play, Burns needs to play, and a good passer (serve receive) must be found.

Yes, the USA guys are here for Micah’s wedding.
Shoji said Higgins didn’t play badly tonight so I would think she’ll probably start but the connection between Iosia and Sibley was better. With Burns playing, they were able to move Castillo back to her natural position so things started aligning right when Iosia was in. Hall said it would be the 1-2 combo with both setters all season.

I was naturally impressed with Iosia and Burns, but I also thought that Guinasso played really well and that Sibley has tremendous potential.

So Iosia wont set again until things go south i guess.

77 You’re right Shoji did say that Higgins was starting tomorrow night. He is not going to bench her.

correct me if I’m wrong. in sets 3 & 4, Dave had no seniors in playing right? Katiana didn’t play tonight and Tayler was in for only sets 1 & 2. if that’s the case i am impressed. he even had 3 freshmen in all at once.

IMO, I think Hawaii surpassed expectations, with Taylor and Mitchem out. I thought they would blown out but they fought hard and won the third set.

Now let’s beat Arizona and Kansas St!
