So - The Huskers will be arriving in Hawaii and playing in the "Queen of the Beach Challenge" along with host Hawaii, USC, Cal, Hawaii Pacific, and Chaminade on Mar. 20/21 to start this sand season. Then they will be playing Cal and Hawaii March 22. This schedule is a nice change and will hopefully let the team get better adjusted before actual Team Competition. Last season they arrived late afternoon and jumped right into team competition the next morning - the results weren't so good. * The Hawaii vs. Nebraska match (3/22) will be televised on the OC. OC Link: ocsports.tv/ From Huskers.com: Sand Volleyball - 2014-15 Schedule www.huskers.com/SportSelect.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=100&SPID=123508&SPSID=732111&DB_OEM_ID=100

OC Link: ocsports.tv/ The USC website has them playing a dual match with Nebraska on 3/19, but it is not on Nebraska schedule. Curious to see if that match happens or not. Hope that Nebraska can stay healthy, they will be competing on 7 of 9 days (or maybe 8 of 10 days), with a lot of travel before and between matches. They also have multiple matches on over half of those competition days. I'd go with what USC is posting. The UH webmaster/IT dept. is notorious for their erroneous ways. NE wouldn't pass up the opportunity flying all that way into Honolulu to miss a challenge against one of the top three teams in the sport.

Re "From Huskers.com:"
My guess is that the Hawaii small schools will end up out in that first Queen's of the Beach tourney. Chaminade and HPU specifically I could see playing later in the Aloha Invitational (with LBSU and UCLA).
the Haili Church Men's VB Tournament is during the same week as that spring fling which the Huskers will be in town for. Local girls, Chaminade et al, are fiercely loyal to that Hilo, Hi. week-long. The small schools in Hawaii also includes pseudo perennial Div.II top 25 BYUH. Could they be added to the Cornhusker's schedule?! Dunno.
I do know that if NE is looking at parameter limitations, this might be what is needed.

Last year when LBS, LMU and Stanford played, Chaminade played only in the doubles tournament the second day.

Does anyone know the eleven players on the traveling roster? According to one of the players, as of Saturday it still hadn't been announced to them. Was told it would be in the next couple days.

Wow!
When's the last time that Nebraska, Texas, and a would be *indoors top 30* (yet sand only) USC teams ended up in Honolulu, at the same time?
A: never

Wow! Have fun ck!! Projected lineups from the article: 1) Alicia Ostrander/Justine Wong-Orantes 2) Alexa Ethridge/Kira Larson 3) Amber Rolfzen/Melanie Keil 4) Kelly Hunter/Kadie Rolfzen 5) Cecilia Hall/Annika Albrecht Definitely not what I expected, but if that's where the chemistry is, then I'm excited to see what these pairs can do.

The NU SVB schedule I'm guessing is still off a bit. Tomorrow, and the next two days, it will be an all day affair at Queens. I'm thinking that NU will play pairs in the midmorning (with Chaminade and HPU inclusive) then in the afternoon they'll dual it with USC. On Sat. more of the same. On Sun. on campus at the Ching, three championship finals only (Gold, Silver, Bronze)..three competition courts. --- the medieval wench is asking, the old battleaxe, USC for a Hawaiian spring would only need one middle--decent at that, a CN 49er, and a handful of Fab50 outsidehitter/setter types (as old as being a Sr.). yeah.
