This year has been so unpredictable. We've lost or played poorly against teams we should have beat soundly. We've upset teams that were ranked ahead of us. Nothing would surprise me at this point. We could win out the rest of the season or we could end up losing at UCD or UCR. It would be great if we win the BWC and host, but I'm not getting my hopes up. Concur 100%

So far both Williams and Igiede are the standouts on this team. I have a lot more confidence in them scoring than I do for the other players. Boom Boom!

This team has put itself in the right position to take the lead of the conference next weekend. One might say it’s a trap weekend having two of the best teams playing. However that’s never rattled Hawaii back then I hope they get two W’s. It did last year. The Wahine upset Cal Poly the first night and got swept by Santa Barbara the next

Called it! Side Thought - Plummer needs to medical redshirt and transfer to Hawaii for a Grad year Call me crazy but I’d wish MAC May would transfer as opposed to Plummer. May is one of the players I wished would transfer after visiting Hawaii. Not sure if she wants to graduate early or not

With only 6 matches remaining, here are my waaay too early picks for All Big West teams from Hawaii: First Team: Hanna Hellvig Norene Iosia Sky Williams
Honorable Mention: Bailey Choy Brooke Van Sickle (would've been 1st team but for injury) Amber Igiede McKenna Ross
All Freshmen Team: Hanna Hellvig Amber Igiede Riley Wagoner
Freshman of the Year: Hanna Hellvig

Hannah definitely deserves FOY. I’ve never seen someone of her age emerge as the top OH for a premier program like Hawaii in the BWC. She’s playing like a senior which makes me wonder is she going to be playing like an Olympian come her actual senior year?

I've been pretty mum on this, but I am definitely beginning to think Rasmussen returning is unlikely... False. Good to know!

Because if so, I could see her missing part of the season to compete. Rettke from Wisconsin could have the same problem....

Yeah, looking at the conference stats so far, it looks like Hanna's overall performance is well above any other Freshman, plus her status as the go to player for the 'Bows sure does make her look like the premier candidate for FOY. How fortunate the 'Bows are to have her on the team!

Reading my saimin noodles last night, I may have seen that JR may be back sooner than we may think.

How fortunate the 'Bows are to have her on the team! Actually, looking at the conference stats, Julia Crawford could definitely make a case for FOY, but it is less likely since CSF is towards the bottom of the conference. At the top of the conference, it would seem that the likely candidates are Hellvig and Frolley. Also, if Igiede were to be nominated, I wouldn't be surprised if she gets the nod. She is currently ranked 2nd in hitting percentage and 1st in blocking throughout the Big West conference. In addition, she is 2nd on the Hawaii team in kills, and we cans see her pick up an assist and ace here and there. I'm genuinely surprised that she hasn't received any FOW or DPOW awards yet, but I feel that she definitely deserves one of those recognitions by the end of the season. In my opinion, she should be nominated for FOW this week for Hawaii (as Hellvig struggled in the UCI match), and Williams should be nominated for DPOW.
