Who are those two women who spoke at the end? The first one looks like Lily Kahumoku (but who probably isn't) and the second one is a blonde woman (who probably wasn't a player). Rep. Andria Tupola was the first; the second was, as stated by blaase, Lauren (Cheape) Matsumoto. Before she was Miss Hawaii, Lauren played water polo at UH.

According to her instragram, Emma Smith is transferring to UC Berkeley That's going to hurt Hawaii... she was set to take over for Kahakai in 2018 and would most likely be the primary DS this upcoming season. Wonder if she wanted more playing time for beach. I would assume she is allowed to play both since Gaffney is their only one at Cal that does both. Best of luck to Emma!

Per her instagram, she wanted to transfer closer to home where she can continue both her academic and indoor volleyball careers.

Emma signed on to play for Dave Shoji. Probably not liking the no nonsense tough love approach of Robyn Ah Mow.
Rich Feller might be a Dave Shoji type so might be a good fit for her.

Wasn't Smith also a walk-on? So if she's paying her own way, might make sense to want to be closer to home after a year abroad.

According to her instragram, Emma Smith is transferring to UC Berkeley Not her! I was hoping she could unseat Kahakai as the libero this coming season. There goes UH's best passer. So it will probably be between Anderson and Guinasso for the passing DS role. I noticed those two didn't get as much time on the court during the spring matches as Freitas the newcomer did.

Emma leaving hurts us BIG time in the back court and giving us the ability to run the fast offense we need. But, I am confident someone will step up and take that spot.
Plus, when a coach retires/or leaves, you are bound to lose a couple people. Let's just hope it stays at just Emma and not more make any announcements.

Smith's loss is a big blow. She played big time in NCAA matches. Wish her nothing but the best at Cal

And...all us Hawaii fans need to start praying that Robyn gets Elena Olgivie to stay home. Everyone is going after her.

Apparently she was not going to get the playing time under RAMS. Anderson and Guissano will likely be the main DS's.
Her wanting more Beach play may also have been a factor. I was really surprised she didn't crack the Beach lineup.

So according to Cindy Luis VolleyShots blog, Freitas has left the team and is moving back to Maui after this semester is completed....I guess RAMS tough love is taking a toll?
