Sad thing is, a packed home court is worth a couple of points, and UH could have easily taken those first two sets. Hawaii is the only team in the nation with no home court advantage.

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. I agree

I wanna see BVS get 20+ kills in a match, but I hope they rest her more during the lesser Big West matches.
The Wahine Director of Volleyball Operations is not part of the current UH roster. Not a job opening for one right now either. Curious about that.

I want Leoniak to swing more and take rips at the balls more than she is

I want Leoniak to swing more and take rips at the balls more than she is Me too, I feel like she has difficulty tracking an OOS or lower quick set. That and she's afraid of getting stuff blocked. They just need to set her higher for now and practice other sets. Mia Johnson looked good hitting a quick set, she's better than I expected. Maybe even be in the running for BW FOY.

LMFAOOOOO we’re only 2 games in, lets wait until the first half of conference is over before we start predicting BW FOY because none of the freshman look like they are there yet

Too bad Hanna went back home. Hawaii needed another oos attacker last night.
I think it’s important to remember that this is a fairly young Wahine team with only 3 returning starters and a multitude of new players. It’s going to get a lot better as the season progresses.

I want Leoniak to swing more and take rips at the balls more than she is She almost never swings hard unless the ball is set really high. They can either set to her higher, or she can work on her timing. It's a fixable problem. After seeing all the other Opps, I think she's the best one. She has the best defense, blocking, hands etc. We do need better production out of the position.

Yes, a strong showing against Fairfield might have caused people to forget UH unexpectedly lost its top two terminators from "last year", and us breaking in two new setters that will not be on the same level as Norene and Bailey.

My 2 cents on last nights match: Hawaii got exposed but that's a good thing in the long run as all the things that went wrong last night are correctable: defense/serve receive, serving tougher (aside from BVS our serve is too weak and rarely got Marquette OOS), and blocking. I like Mia Johnson in for Riley.

Imagine if Mia eventually wins the OH spot over Riley, this has got to be the shortest OH duo for Hawai’i.
