High Ankle (Grade 3) sprain.
Google says recovery time can be as long as 12 weeks. (We are in Week 9)
Cindy said in her blog today "I could see her coming back for NCAA tourney if all goes well with the rehab". So that doesn't sound too promising. I'd assume that Cindy has some inside information as a basis for that statement. If she is out the rest of the season, would she qualify for another medical redshirt? She only played in 6 full matches and one set vs. West Virginia?

She's used her medical redshirt (and I believe regular redshirt) already. There's nothing left.

Not true but I expect her back by post season anyway.

She is a very good player but injury prone. I hope when she does return, she'll be able to contribute right away. She's been out for awhile. She is that one piece that makes Hawaii a formidable team, and could play anyone in the country.

what exactly was the diagnosis? someone must know something. High Ankle (Grade 3) sprain.
Google says recovery time can be as long as 12 weeks. (We are in Week 9)
Ugh! A grade 3 high ankle sprain is the worst-case scenario. I was hoping it wasn't a high ankle sprain or a grade 3 ankle sprain. But it's been so long it seemed like it was probably one or the other. I hope it doesn't require surgery. (High ankle sprains often do and grade 3 any kind of ankle sprains sometimes do.) I hope she's able to play this season but, even more, I hope she fully recovers. It's very encouraging that koavball says she'll return by post-season. Best wishes for a full recovery by then!

I had a Grade 3 sprain in HS playing hoops (my main sport). Never had surgery. It took forever to get back to near-normal. My ankles are so loose now they don't sprain (easily)!

What ankle injury did Tua have? I know all ankle sprains are different, but he seems to be coming back so much sooner. Is the medical treatments in Alabama that much better than Hawaii?

What ankle injury did Tua have? I know all ankle sprains are different, but he seems to be coming back so much sooner. Is the medical treatments in Alabama that much better than Hawaii? He had tightrope surgery. I don't think Jolie had surgery. They only do that surgery if they think it's necessary to prevent longterm problems. They probably thought Jolie could recover without surgery. Also, I read somewhere that one reason he recovered so quickly was bc it was to his right ankle. If it had been his left "plant" ankle, he wouldn't be able to play so soon. Jumping (and landing) is going to put even more stress on an ankle than planting it for a pass so recovery will be slower, even if she'd had the surgery. That said, Alabama is probably one of the best places to go if you need that kind of surgery.

Rainbow Wahine have shot at first Big West title since 2016
By Cindy Luis Today Updated 12:05 a.m. Honolulu Star-Advertiser
The chaser has become the chased one.
For the first time this season, Hawaii heads out on the road as the Big West volleyball leader. The 19th-ranked Rainbow Wahine took over first place with last week’s wins over then-co-leaders UC Santa Barbara and Cal Poly, and are a half-game ahead of the Gauchos and Mustangs.
The plan is to have it stay that way. With four matches remaining, Hawaii (20-3, 10-2) controls its title destiny.
Bottom line? Win and in.
Should the Wahine win all four, it would guarantee Hawaii the Big West’s automatic berth in the NCAA tournament. If that happens, the Wahine would finish 14-2 in league and the best that either UCSB (19-3 9-2) or Cal Poly (16-6, 9-2) could do would be tie at 14-2.
The Mustangs host the Gauchos on Saturday.
Hawaii holds the tiebreaker on both. It would give the Wahine their first championship since 2016 and give coach Robyn Ah Mow the first in her three seasons, having finished second in the previous two.
“I’m not even thinking that far ahead,” Ah Mow said as the team prepared to leave today for matches at UC Davis and UC Riverside. “I’m not going to talk about it.
“It comes down to whether the girls follow the scouting report. If they follow it, we’re good. Mainly for me it comes down to taking care of what we do on our side. It’s one game at a time.”
First up is UC Davis, which nearly pulled off an upset on Oct. 20 at the Stan Sheriff Center. Instead, Hawaii pulled off the reverse sweep, 22-25, 21-25, 25-22, 25-17, 15-12.
“We’re all pumped and ready to play our best,” said Hanna Hellvig, the reigning Big West Freshman of the Week. “I feel like earlier in the season we were nervous but now we’re just having fun.
“We’ve made such a comeback from our losses and now we’re just excited to win the rest of the games. We have the fight in us and it shows that we’ve been able to come back.”
Hellvig had 16 kills against the Aggies and 10 in the 25-17, 25-18, 25-12 sweep of the Highlanders on Oct. 18.
It’s the final regular-season road trip of their careers for Hawaii seniors Bailey Choy, Norene Iosia, McKenna Ross and Kirsten Sibley, as well as redshirt junior Rika Okino, who is graduating in May.
“This season is flying by, it’s never been this fast all the other seasons,” said Okino, named the conference Defensive Player of the Week on Monday. “We celebrated this weekend really nicely and now we’re ready to refocus this week of practice.
“We struggled with Davis. We need to take care of business this week.”
Hawaii has won its last seven, the streak beginning with the sweep of Riverside. The Wahine visit the Highlanders on Sunday.
Both UC Davis (14-11, 6-6) and UC Riverside (6-17, 2-10) won their respective home matches Tuesday.
The Aggies pulled away from Cal State Fullerton 20-25, 25-15, 25-19, 25-7. The Highlanders held off UC Irvine 11-25, 25-21. 25-20, 21-25, 15-8.

oregon's post season is officially over with a loss to washington. i wonder what is going through the heads of the oregon transfers, which made me think - i hope that jolie is able to talk about what she's going through mentally as well. missing more than half of your collegiate career (reported in commentaries, forget which game) is a lot. she's a tough kid for sure, and she does seem engaged cheering on her team. but it's not only about her body, but her mentality when she returns. wishing her a full recovery soon.
aside: it's a damn shame to see stone and johnson end their collegiate career with this season.

No. 19 Hawaii leading Big West volleyball resurgence By Cindy Luis cluis@staradvertiser.com Today Updated 12:05 a.m. Honolulu Star-Advertiser ANDREW LEE / SPECIAL TO THE STAR-ADVERTISER Hawaii’s Brooke Van Sickle, left, and Hanna Hellvig celebrated after a point during the fifth set against UC Davis on Oct. 20 at the Stan Sheriff Center.How good is Big West volleyball this season? As good as the 1980s, when three of the league’s teams — Hawaii, Pacific (which left after 2012) and Long Beach State — won six of the eight NCAA tittles between 1982 and 1989? The decade in which the Northwest Regional usually had four Big West teams fighting for one spot to the final four? Probably not. As good as 2013, when the tri-champions (Hawaii, Cal State Northridge and UC Santa Barbara) all got NCAA bids, the most for the conference since 2006? Probably better. In 2013, Hawaii (24) and CSUN (23) had 20-plus wins heading into Selection Sunday and UCSB was at 18. This season, the Rainbow Wahine already are at 20 with four regular-season matches remaining. The Gauchos could hit that mark Saturday with a win at Cal Poly, the second of this year’s Blue-Green Rivalry, the outcome of which will break the current tie for second place. More importantly, all three are in the top 50 of the Ratings Percentage Index, the computer-generated system used by the NCAA to select the 64-team field and seed the top 16. If the selection show were today, and not Dec. 1, the Wahine (RPI 11) would host the first and seconds rounds, something they haven’t done since 2013, the Gauchos (26) would get an at-large bid and the Mustangs (41) would have a good shot as a bubble team. (Hawaii’s RPI was 46 when selected as an at-large last year.) Projections around the country have the trio in … barring a collapse the rest of the way. If UC Davis coach Dan Conners were on the committee, “Yes, the Big West absolutely deserves three teams. “Hawaii, UCSB and Cal Poly have strong nonconference records that include some big wins for each program,” he said. “They have the talent and ability to compete nationally and up to this point have each proven themselves worthy of a bid.” Conners and his Aggies (14-11, 6-6) get to test out that theory in person today at The Pavilion against the Rainbow Wahine (20-3, 10-2). The last time the teams met, Hawaii rallied for a reverse sweep, 22-25, 21-25, 25-22, 25-17, 15-12 at the Stan Sheriff Center on Oct. 20. In that match, junior hitter Brooke Van Sickle came off the bench for Hawaii in Set 3, her first appearance since being injured during the five-set home loss to UC Irvine on Oct. 4. Seven kills, eight digs and two aces later, some saw Van Sickle turning the No. 2 on her jersey into an “S” a la Supergirl. The Wahine acknowledge that the 5-foot-9 Van Sickle brings a different energy to the court. Hawaii coach Robyn Ah Mow calls it something different. “It’s just the chemistry on the court when she’s there,” Ah Mow said. It also allows Hawaii to change up the lineup, with Van Sickle mainly hitting on the left and freshman Hanna Hellvig moving from left to right-side hitter, a position at which the reigning conference Freshman of the Week has said she feels is more natural for her. Hellvig had 16 kills in the earlier match with Davis, with a combined eight kills on 12 errorless swings in the final two sets. Of concern this week for the Wahine is Aggies sophomore hitter Mahalia White, the 2017 conference Freshman of the Year. Hawaii didn’t slow down the 6-footer until Set 5 in the last meeting, when White had just one of her match-high 17 kills. Lauren Matias, a 6-2 senior outside, added 15 kills and sophomore opposite Leonie Strehl 11 for the Aggies at the Sheriff Center. In Tuesday’s 20-25, 25-15, 25-19, 25-7 win over Cal State Fullerton, Matias had 24 kills and 14 digs while White did not play. Asked about the key to defeating the Wahine today, Conners joked: “To score more points than Hawaii in three of the sets.” The only time the Aggies were successful in the series was in The Pavilion in 2013, a match that went five sets. Davis has lost the past 12, which means today is the last chance for the senior class of Matias, Ally Reyes and Jackie Graves to defeat the Wahine in their final home match. BIG WEST VOLLEYBALL

Three matches left. Should I buy tickets for Dec 5-7? It might sellout quick.
