Want to see what Matias can offer at the Setting position. If she is more consistent, and accurate with her sets to the Middle. Since the Middles are going to be the main weapon for the Wahine. Lang's sets to the Middle where at best 50-50, if even that. If the Middle attack is going to be the Wahine focus offensively, that will not cut it. You need good passing to get your middles involved and Hawai'i didn't have it today. Riley Wagoner had 21 kills today, The Bows got support from their pins.

If the Wahine are going to rely on their pin hitters, they are in very BIG TROUBLE. Do not see Riley Wagoner putting up that kind of kill numbers on a consistent basis, or any other pin hitter for that matter. You watch, the next 2 matches, how may kills the pin hitters get. They will struggle to get into double digit kill numbers, for that matter, the rest of the pre-conference schedule. So where does this leave the Wahine if their passing does not improve, and cannot involve the Middles on a more consistent level.

One thing for sure we definitely have the right libero playing.

For the Wahine to have a decent season, and even have a chance to win the BWC, the Middles have to lead the team in kills. Cause if the pins lead the team in kills, it will be a very long season, and a lot of losses. Like what happened against A & M.

I think UH has all the right pieces like what RAM had said. Lang just needs to work in her connection with the middles. The middles need to get their block going. And I like how the coaches stayed consistent with the lineup. But it’s be nice to see someone different come off the bench for a few plays just to get the opponent on their toes for a bit. I was hoping to see Degoede even for a while in the opp position instead of Akana. She was struggling on the right. But if you think about it, this match would turn out so different without all the service errors. So I think they did good compared to what people have been saying since the scrimmage. The pins surprised the most, especially the middle Westerberg.

If Hawaii goes out and competes like that there, I’m cool on them. They did their best in a season opener on the road

I'm surprised we didn't see Cowell, I would have tried to see if she could pass when Ham/Edmonds' passing broke down.
The team is what it is, maybe we were so worried about pin production that we overlooked our inability to serve and pass. Passing rarely gets significantly better as the season wears on unfortunately. Your serving can, but it's one of the things that's best worked on during the off-season. Maybe A&M's gym through them off though.

I think Amber was a bit slow closing on most of her blocking, I think she has a nagging knee injury TBH. Our only good server was Caylen.

Hawai'i gave up 22 points on service errors and reception errors. They lost by a combined 12 points. There's your game.
They dominated kills wise, averaging a whopping 14 kills a set, and outhit the aggies .289 to .275.
Cut down on those errors and they're good.

I’m not completely surprised as they are opting for a more aggressive serving plan. They just need to gauge the risk/reward a little more which I believe will happen organically. I’m also happy they didn’t take their foot off the gas serving wise either!

Nonetheless, I'm sure they'll get it going!

For the Wahine to have a decent season, and even have a chance to win the BWC, the Middles have to lead the team in kills. Cause if the pins lead the team in kills, it will be a very long season, and a lot of losses. Like what happened against A & M. Amber (13) and Tiff (12) combined for 25 kills from the middle, which were second and third, after Wagoner (21). The middles did their part, and maybe we could have gotten more from Igiede, but they did well. This match wasn't a matter of who lead in kills that contributed to their loss, it was their own errors that did them in. The good thing about that is that they will be able to work on it and fix it moving forward. Just have to stay positive for them and continue to support our Wahine's in that way.
