Maybe they should give Riley the go for Libero this weekend. They weren’t reluctant to do it in practice so why not give it a go in an actual game? Plus her pass reception is only 2nd to BVS so she’s going to be pivotal against tough serving like CP.
It didn't happen before because of the lack of depth. They needed Riley to be available as an OH in case something happened. (They used her more and more as a DS last week so it seems it's something that is happening slowly.)
It could (and should) happen if JR comes back and Ross goes back to the bench. Both our opponents last week tried to ruthlessly serve our libero...
Both our liberos have struggled defensively. When JR returns, I agree that Wagoner should be given a look at L to make use of her game strengths which is her passing and defense. Our freshman class are extremely battle tested this year. Igiede and Hellvig have struggled at times, but have successfully made the transition to D 1 VB as hitters/blockers. Westerberg needs to develop her game more, right now she's a one note samba (only good at the slide). Hopefully we bring in another terminator next year as insurance for our injury prone stars.

The same can be said of Braelyn Akana re. samba thing. Incidentally, I seem to remember Igiede hitting the slide in a match but I can't remember which one. Ditto for Williams. Or am I imagining this?

BVS is the only outside that hits in the middle but they rarely run that play. I'd love to see Choy start setting her real 1s and back 1s too.

You’re not, when they run BVS on the 2 and the middle on a slide, she absolutely hammered it but I forget what game it was as you barely saw it after that. Igiede is pretty good in the front too. She really is probably Top 5 right now in Freshman middles.

At least as of yesterday, Cindy reported JR is "restricted" at practice and hasn't been cleared to do everything yet.
Not looking good for her playing full time this week, as they aren't going to play her (unless they go down 0-2 again) if she's not practicing.

Just got to go in this weekend with the mindset JR isnt playing.... I believe Hawaii still can get these wins without her.

Yeah...I think some Hawaii fans are too doom and gloom. We are the 21st ranked team in the country and we playing a couple very good but unranked teams and we are sweating?
Didn’t we beat UCLA and Missouri and we swept UCSB without Jolie???

Starting to wonder if Cindy Luis is even attending Wahine practices anymore. Since there has been NO news from her concerning Jolie R. You would think she would have mentioned something this week. I am thinking either Brian McInnis, or even Stephen Tsai should become the Wahine Volleyball beatwriter starting next year.

Her latest post says her moped has been found. Good! BTW, who's this Haley Snyder she says is Hawaii volleyball's newest member?

Has the Wahine Volleyball fans mindset changed to where just making the NCAA Tournament is good enough. Cause I can remember when the mindset was always geared to winning the NCAA Tournament Title. When did that mindset change to just making the NCAA Tournament is good enough.
