Go PAC 12. Great match for croson to. If she played like that all the time she would be foy at least jane croson plays better than anyone on your team and she's just a freshman!

"USC needs to make a run now", stfu already. I muted her as well..... You must have not watched a lot of sports..All commentators say stuff like that to the losing team.

I assume Jupiter is now ready for some international competition or is it too early to tell? I was just thinking the same thing. She has a great all around game that is needed on the National Team.

Jupiter might be heading to the beach...isn't that where she excelled before her collegiate career began? yup, she did play bv before that's probably why she is such an all-around player. But I would like to see her competing for a OH position in the national team...Neither Hodge nor Larsson plays to the expected level and Logan is getting older.

Alex Jupiter...no words to describe her play tonight. As a diehard Wahine fan since the early 80's, I can probably count on one hand that I have personally seen a player just take over a game like she did in game 5. Hawaii at one point got a block on her, but it was picked up. With her serving and hitting and even digging, she was just amazing.
She made some amazing digs as well, which not a lot of people are talking about. If only she came to Hawaii, oh well. I have no qualms about her being NPOY....none! She did in game 5 what Kanani just didn't do. Love Kanani, but that is just how it played out.
I do believe if Hawaii won this match, they would have won the NC this year. No doubt about it....another oh well.
And Ay, yes, Croson has been inconsistent this year, but she has had matches like this earlier this year, but she has been inconsistent as well. So have all the freshmen this year. I think the WAC robbed her. Yes, Meredith Hays was great, but she is no Jane Croson. If she was WAC FOY, she would have been Region FOY and I am sure NFOY.

That is because USC was trailing most of the time. Look at the stat sheets, Hawaii edges USC in all stats.

Poor Kanani. She played so well but she was really hurting late in the 4th set. I was sitting two rows behind the bench and at one time out, she looked like she was ready to pass out. The medical staff moved towards her but was told to stay back by the trainer. Her will never faltered, but her body betrayed her. She will be missed next year.
I have to say Croson is the most fearless player I have ever watched.

FF, Croson and Mita? Hawaii should be one the favorites to win it next year.

Look at the stat sheets, Hawaii edges USC in all stats. But that doesn't really matter since USC pulled out the match...that's why the saying goes "stats don't always tell the whole story"

Look at the stat sheets, Hawaii edges USC in all stats. There were points where I could tell she was trying to stay impartial, but in game 4 it all fell apart for her. That whole game it was tied and just back and forth. The whole time she was saying that USC needs to go on a run. They need to score points in bunches. You could tell she was rooting for USC, which is fine really. But she needs to learn to stay impartial as a commentator.
