It just seems to me, the stronger the Wahine get, the weaker the other BWC teams become. How crazy is that. Would have thought, the stronger the Wahine get, would make the other BWC teams work to get stronger also. forgive them, volleygods, for they do not know what they do.

All the Big West teams are finding themselves, Hawaii included. Tomorrow will be another battle for the Wahine against A&M. They could very well end up 1-2 for the weekend.

Looks like the Wahine will have to hold up the BWC again this season. Come on BWC teams start doing your part in strengthening the BWC. Do not just depend on the Wahine to do that. Posts like this make VT great! Tell me how Hawaii is holding up the BW again? You've responded to one of the few I have on ignore, as I do for those who never add anything worth reading and whose primary purpose is either to troll or through their association discredit whatever they proclaim to be a 'fan' of.

Hawaii, 2-1 after the first week of play, but they have two ranked opponents on the road upcoming.

Texas A&M will be playing Cal Poly next. Let's see how they do against them. At least Cal Poly will have fans in the stands for support. From tonight's match, Texas A&M has the goods to be really good. Again, I keep reminding myself that Hawai'i and the rest of the Big West and The Ivy League have not played a match in over 600 days. Meanwhile, the rest of the conferences played a modified 2020-2021 season. The level of play should be that much ahead in theory.

When the other team is having success targeting your libero, it's usually downhill from there.

They truly have weapons from all positions and their setter is a 2019 All-American HM if I'm not mistaken. So they had a game plan and they executed some of it. I don't think they expected Hawai'i to be so offensive. With so many new players and the lack of playing for almost two years, they probably were thinking less competition.

I do not know what is worse, the ex Fullerton head coach receiving the past conference coach of the year or this LBSU sweep of the weekly awards, okay slightly kidding here.
If you watched the LBSU matches only freshman Lovett should have received the weekly honor. The other two had nice stretches but not sure if they are worthy of the weekly award. I was very disappointed with LBSU’s play this past weekend against weak competition. I guess this post shows that frustration.

I like how they left out her hitting percentage against those teams lol

My only comment is that I think our competition this weekend was a step above Montana State, Dixie State and Boise State, LBSU's opponents.

Lol i love how annoying y’all are able to make yourselves over a first week of Big West schools gameplay and awards that happened 600+ days ago.
The Big West is going to be a rebuilding conference, from Hawaii and Long Beach down to Fullerton. Davis looked good this week, San Diego is going to get better, but we’re not going to see anything really impressive until at least a month into the season when teams have figured things out.
Congrats to the Beach on sweeping the awards…this week 😉 let’s hope that all the BW athletes continue to appreciate being on the court post covid. It’s been so long, just shut up and let the kids play people

Congrats on the Beach 'sweep' I never get too worked up over the weekly awards. There's been all sort of shall we say 'debatable' selections over the years. Brooklyn Van Winkle had a jaw-dropping week against some pretty good competition, and just leave it at that. Very very deserving of an award. for some reason (well I actually know the reason, it's called 'good pub') SIDs often don't put out hitting % or receive % or that type of stuff because, uhh, well it's probably too complicated for them and plus can get in the way of an otherwise good narrative! Kash Williams is a deserving player in her own right, LB is lucky her arm didn't fall off (for a bit of perspective she was asked to make 167 swings during 8+ hours of match play in about a 25 hour period for those 3 matches vs. 94 swings over 3 days, with 22 hours of rest between matches for those out there keeping 'score' lol), and yes, she makes some 'huh' mistakes at times and to her credit makes eye-popping plays and does get kills in bunches. And yes, a couple fewer mistakes and she might have got herself a bit more rest between the matches! Incentive to cut down on the miscues! LB's Lovett played extremely well, and for a frosh, LB definitely got a good one. LB has a LOT of work to do to even consider contending for a Big West title, a lot.
