Warriors earn NCAA berth; Bucs draft Iosefa
For the first time since 2002, the volleyball Warriors are heading to the NCAA tournament.
OK, technically it’s a play-in match, against Penn State on Tuesday at Stanford, but the Warriors weren’t worried about the particulars. After losing to Pepperdine in the MPSF semis on Thursday, the Warriors still had enough credits to beat out the Waves for an at-large berth.
The Warriors celebrated the invitation with thunderous applause. Soon after, coach Charlie Wade gave an emotional address to the team.
Wade then went to scout a tournament. Recruiting never stops

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers drafted Joey Iosefa in the seventh round.

Goin to Da Ship. How’s Hartley?
Good morning Tsaikos!
YES!!! I’m so stoked! My boy’s made the tournament. Wish I could be there.
ST – will the redshirts be able to attend?
GO WARRIORS!
GO WAHINE!
Sugoi Order,… Check! PPV confirmation….Check!
Congrats to the men’s VB team. Let’s hope they can rekindle their mojo and play at the high level they displayed earlier in the season. At least they won’t be jet lagged from travel for the next phase.
Spring football seemed unusually quiet, almost a non event. This feels different from pervious years. I wish the team the best hope coach Chow can redeem himself. But even if he does it still feels like he is just too conservative for my tastes, both in the teams style of play and the style of promoting the team. No buzz on the field, no buzz off the field, no buzz to be found anywhere. I hope we have a winning season and of we do it will make it all more enjoyable. But can’t we add a little spice please? I am getting tired of the same diet of plain oatmeal.
Penn State mvb has 8 wins to 14 losses to Hawaii all time.
Here’s their home page.
Tops in their conference…

What a relief, I think men’s volleyball has not yet been tainted like some of the bigger sports. I hope the men take advantage of this opportunity, I like the bracket they are in. Go Bows.
GOOD MORNING, HAWAII!
GO BOWS
GO WAHINE
Joeys a Buc!
Big CONGRATS Joey!!!
Great news about Joey Iosefa and the Wades Warriors! … a little alliteration 🙂
#8, Wow, so who do we root for when the Bucs play Tennessee and Mariota? Though the feature match up will be Winston and Mariota.
All righty, Joey! Now we can cheer for both the bucks and the Titans.
I hear they play each other in their first game this fall, is that true?
Question is answered already. Thank you.
Go Joey! Go Marcus!

Yea mongoose…you got no faith in them evil doers at NCAA headquarters SELECTION COMMITTEE…….he he he
I’ve had my heart broken too many times before. LOL.
Just hope that Joey can stay healthy there his first full season n should not have ne problems making the roster…
See… that ur problem… go longs buy a duct tape…patch it up he he he…
Yea me thinks all agree.. they are evil… n no reasonable explanation for what

JUST WONDER OUT LOUD HERE…HOW WAS OUR ATTENDANCE RANKED COMPARED TO THE REST…???
Congratulations Joey! All that hard work paid off.
To whom it may concern … “Warriors earn NCAA berth” is a much better story title than “UH awarded at-large berth in NCAA men’s volleyball”

Nikko Taylor might not get to UH after all…….since KT getting mostly NT reps today.
KT definitely slimmed down from last season……but apparently now gonna have to bulk again.
WARR-IORS!!! WARR-IORS!!! WARR-IORS!!! 🙂
JOOO-EEY!!! JOOO-EEY!!! JOOO-EEY!!! 🙂
Great news for both – best of luck to other Warrior NFL hopefuls!!!
#25 — Hopefully, we still get Taylor…Lot’s of possibilities depending on folks qualifying and getting their AAs in the JCs. We should know by the end of this month if we have some late NT transfers. I’m still not convinced we have our PK position solved…
#27,
Yup…….wide right today.
#25,
UH definitely still doing some very late Class of 2015 recruiting.
Anyone see how the QB’s have been doing today and the last few days? Curious to see if Wittek is improving.
aloha everyone!! nice to see VB gets a 2ND chance !! they got the best spot know not think to lose !! let do this !! go bows !!
and to Joey Congrats hope u da best !!
and know for UH FOOTBALL this was the time of the year for you chow to shine and sale your program to the people of hawaii for this up coming year !! then they woulder why the team are losing fans !! should have a flag football game for the player and the people !!
Alright!
Go get em Joey!!!
Agree with 24. It was earned.
#30,
Wittek looked good……but still threw a pick……while Woolsey looks improved……..way smoother……less mechanical……compared to last season.
Alright Joey! You made it into the big league.
And congratulations men’s volleyball on EARNING the at large bid. Still not too optimistic about the team though after losing last 3 out of 4 games. But none the less, I will be screaming at my tv/computer screen as always. GO BOWS!!
At least Manny was trying to fight. Can’t say the same for what’s his name.
cant win…what u cant hit…no points there..
Congrats to Joey & Marcus…we can cheer for them when they have the ball on offense
Congrats to Joey and Marcus; Joey, take care of your legs.
I hope a few other Warriors get a chance at free agency.
