About the only question remaining for the Wahine team is, will Jolie return for the last 2 Conference matches, or the NCAA Tournament.

About the only question remaining for the Wahine team is, will Jolie return for the last 2 Conference matches, or the NCAA Tournament. The coaching staff has decided to sit Jolie the rest of the season due to the annoyingly high amount of asking on Volleytalk. She will return next year as the teams starting libero and backup setter to not stress her ankle.

Hanna at this time, seems a lock for Big west FOY. This will be our first FOY since Hartong in 2010! Exciting to see. You would think she'd be a lock for freshman of the year with all the freshman of the week honors, but just last men's season the same appeared for Rado with all the player of the weeks, but he didn't get player of the year. Hope its different for Hanna this year.

In a fair world, yes....Hanna should get it but I wouldn’t be one bit surprised if the coaches feel the need to “spread “ out the awards and give it to Julia Crawford since she is the kill leader amongst freshmen.

Need to spread the awards? Hawai’i has not gotten the FOY since Taylor. It’s long overdue.

Need to spread the awards? Hawai’i has not gotten the FOY since Taylor. It’s long overdue. I think they meant in the event that Hawaii makes the case that they can sweep every award this year. Which could be possible, I think Iosia is probably the best candidate for POY for Hawaii just with the amount of wins the team has had since she started staying in all 6 rotations. Hanna of course for FOY. Don’t know if we make the case for anything else, I forget if there are more than just those 2. Ah Mow gets Coach of the year without a doubt IMO if that’s a thing. Don’t see how anyone else could make a case for themselves

Don’t see how anyone else could make a case for themselves Ruddins, then Iosia. (Ruddins just because she has the conference record for most POW). Hellvig should be FOY. RAM for COY no doubt. Last year Cal Poly swept the awards TVW, POY. DeNecochea, Co-FOY. Crosson, COY.

so i was rewatching the earlier matches from this season and i still can't believe that hanna is just a freshmen. i'm so impressed on how poised and formidable she is as a player. i'm sure she understands the pressure on having to be the go-to player for this young team. it's honestly been a treat watching her as well as the other frosh contribute significantly this season.

Wolfgang your typical stereotype in Hawaii. Acted out by Frank D. Whether it’s true or not could be debated. The Japanese, Filipinos, or Portuguese making up most of them. Most people from Hawaii would get this type of humor.

Norene doing the Tuesday take over on the Hawaii Athletics IG account. Hopefully she posts a lot, Sibley did the last time, and was pretty boring.

I don't understand all this takeover crap. The few that I've seen that were posted on VT of players from other schools were really really dull. College athletes should stick to their strength -- their sport -- and not making crappy home movie-quality videos. What I imagine happens is the sponsoring organization (e.g., NCAA, ESPN) asks a team to do a takeover and the team "volunteers" someone who they think is charismatic or vivacious to do the damn thing. The problem is, the charisma and vivaciousness don't translate to the small screen because these athletes are clueless about the most basic film techniques, including camera work, composition, and how to get interesting stuff on film.

I believe Hannaa should earn FOY along with RAM earning COY. Not to discredit what Julia Crawford does for CSF, but the level of competition that Hawaii faces across the net is of a higher calibre than what Fullerton faces. Numbers are pretty, but they are only half of what the real stat is. I'm also not speaking just on preseason conference. RAM said herself every team in the BWC is always fired up and ready to give Hawaii their best cause they know they are the top dog of the pack. Culturally you also like to face off with Hawaii cause you wanna take away those bragging rights. So throughout all the trials and tribulations that Hawaii has traversed through with injuries, miscued matches, etc. this Hawaii team has asserted itself into winning the BWC crown. POY I believe should go to Lindsey Ruddins that girl is an absolute stud.

Ditto, I don't see how you can't give POY to Ruddins at this point.
