It is sad UCLA is not on the schedule this year. It has been a good series.

Wahine setting miscues and timing is biting them.

Lang just can not play front row. Her location is like 30x better than Byrd’s

Marquette match takeaways:
A Lang block got abused by the attackers. Great Lang serves and floor defense as expected though
Byrd needs to be the blocking setter as I expected
Mia Johnson looks like a stud and has a jump serve
Pissed Van Sickle mode
Byrd and Lang both faltered at some points
Leoniak wasn't a weapon. Needs to step up
Westerberg I feel like I hyped up too much
Ikenaga still doing well for a freshman
Poorly formed UH blocks gave away free points

I hope I’m wrong but I just don’t see Riley’s front row play being good enough against better competition… she hasn’t shown much when it comes to blocking.. would like to see Tiff come in for her in front row… Or move Leo to the left and Tiff to the right.. Crap I guess I wasn’t wrong!!!

Mia Johnson will get her turn next season. She is probably going to be looked at as a BVS part 2. Robyn can’t take Wagoner out and I don’t think Leoniak will be replaced so Mia is going to have to wait her turn. For now, she can just train and hope for some spot/mop up duties during BW season. Mia is needed THIS year!!! Our other outsides are way to tentative.

Robyn can’t take Wagoner out and I don’t think Leoniak will be replaced so Mia is going to have to wait her turn. For now, she can just train and hope for some spot/mop up duties during BW season. Hmmm.... after tonight, I'd much rather see Johnson in the game then Wagoner on the outside. Girl gives Hawaii an honest swing each time and I think can be serviceable as passer. Plus Johnson can fly and is physical. Wagoner is just too erratic and not much of a jumper. She's solid in the backcourt, but I'd have to see Johnson pass more to know if Wagoner is THAT much farther ahead. Plus girl has a decent jump serve already. Hawaii needs some punch from serve. Floats aren't bad, but Hawaii needs variety. Not all the flat serves are good (Leoniak, Van Sickle, Hanawahine, Byrd are really the only tough float serves right now - the rest are lollipops). The opposite position is a huge hole tho. Leoniak and Wasterberg have not looked too good there. I know people may want to see De Goede or Demirtas, but I think Kiraly might be an interesting look too. Her highlights show a lot of mobility and a very polished step out ... Igiede, Williams, and Westerber's step outs, not as polished lol. Also... Lang might be the better setter than Byrd, but she was a huge liability tonight in the front row. She'll need to improve her vertical and reach if she wants to do a 5-1 for Hawaii. If she's gonna be exploited, I'd rather have the 6'2 Byrd who seemed to have better connection with her hitters, despite bit inconsistent with her set location and her set selection. Her block and dump shot on tight sets was sorely missing when Hawaii wen 6-2 and struggled in serve receive. In the past Hawaii has had very good blocking setters that were shorter (Kamana'o for example).

Mia looked a lot more terminal in the front than Riley. Have Mia play front row & serve and have Riley play backrow.
With Lang being a blocking liability, run a 5-2 with Byrd playing front row.
Leoniak needs to play OPP. Maybe set her higher so she can apply more force with her attacks. Seems like her timing is off resulting in dinks & ball placements instead of attacks.
Just my thoughts.
