Looks like Alexander was playing Oppo on the A Team. She got some heat with her spikes. Possible starting line-up: Set: Lang Lib: Tokunaga M1: Igeide M2: Westerberg Oppo: Alexander L1: Wagoner L2: Akana DS: Matias *Ikenaga

Also, I cannot see Westerberg beating out Evans for the M2 position. If Westerberg has beaten out Evans, Westerberg had some kind of off-season. She could be the most improved player this year.

Cowell at 5-10, is a really good blocker. Also, Alexander on the rightside looks great hitting from that position!

I don't think it would be extremely surprising for Westerberg to beat out Evans. Evans is coming off of a season-ending injury, so she could still be getting back in the groove of things. Also, in her freshman season, Westerberg was really pushing Williams and Igiede for a starting middle spot at the beginning of the season.

From a spectators point of view, a lot of good things from this team. Tiffany Westerberg, belongs in the middle, she puts so much heat on the ball, and looks good hitting from there. Alexander doesn’t play like a freshman. Cowell, surprised me with her blocking, and has a nice serve as well.

If she believes in her game like we all know she can do, she can really be a force at the net. I think she can have a breakout season at middle.

If Alexander starts and does well this season, I will gladly eat the sh!t out of the words I spewed when watching her more recent highlights I saw that one swing where she executed a wrist away down the line and that was snappy af and I lived for it

From what I saw of the practice today I couldn’t agree more that she does belong in the middle. Now if the setters set her we should see much more than we have had in the past.

Stella doesn't seem to comment as to why she likes Hawaii. I hope she stays on board. She's a top 50ish recruit and looking forward to becoming a six rotation player. I feel like she might be the Hawaii version of Michelle Ohwobete. was hoping Hawaii would snatch up Karli Heidemann but she's off to Montana State... I see her more of a Kanani Danielson type player. Her shot selection is really good, jumps out of the gym, and pretty ok in the backrow, with Coach Robyn she can really improve on that, and her serving is quite good. I can hope Stella becomes a Kanani, but Stella does tend to get subbed out for a DS so the comparison is hard to make because Kanani was SO good all around

A true volleyball player that excelled despite physical limitations. We just don’t see those types of players any more. Stella looks dynamic!
