The good news is that the Big West not looking great on Day 1, and UCLA isn't either. How does one get 20 blocks in a 4 set match and lose. The hitting and passing must have been horrendous.

Long Beach looks like the BW team to beat atm. Both Cal Poly and UCSB looked weak sauce in their openers. UCSB was especially disappointing

What I think is a plus is that Westerberg looks at home in the middle. She’s hitting some bombs. Especially her slides! Reminds me a lot of Heather Bown. Alexander is also impressive. She’s definitely a nice get! Lang just has to set the ball a little higher for the middles. The only suspect on the court has to be when Hawaii gets a bad pass. Hawaii’s pins have a very hard time putting the ball down in bail out/ off plays. Still early in the season!

UCSB was especially disappointing The Beach the team to beat after 1 match and beating an OSU team that was pick to finish next to last in the PAC 12 in 5? I don’t know. It’s probably too early to identify the team to beat. That said, The Beach fighting back to win the match after losing the first 2 sets is a good sign for them.

Thus, I hope for as many of them as possible!

Is it possible that Robyn had plan to play one lineup for the entire match and another different lineup for the second game? I mean, Robyn herself said that there are a lot of competition for spots so why didn’t she substitute when some players struggled? Are we going to see Cowell instead of Akana and DeGoede instead of Alexander for tomorrow’s game? There is no way that Akana is that far ahead of Cowell in terms of securing the OH job.
I wonder if Matias will get her chance too. If there is no hope for an at large, then UH need to give all the potential starters court time in preparation for the BW and to see who can deliver.
Riley, Amber, Tayli and Tiffany are locks. Would not be smart to pull them from the lineup. The second OH, the OPP and the setter position need to be re-evaluated.

After watching the men's teams the past 2 seasons, I feel like the women's team is so slow and lethargic. Is it just me or is my eyesight bad. The ball just doesn't have that velocity, Ughhh sigh...:/

I would look at Matias, but, you know I have watched a lot of Wahine streaming, if Matias is clearly better than Lang now as a freshman, that would be great, but ironic!

I was thinking she may come out with a different line up tomorrow. I at least expected to see Cowell and Matias today. Definitely think Caylen should be the starting Oppo, and have Cowell in with Wagoner as the two outsides. But that leaves Akana out and I liked what I seen from her. The only way to utilize all four with the middles and being able to see Matias is a 6-2. But looks like Rob is opting for a 5-1.

Watching a lot of volleyball today there simply isn’t any team that looks sharp right from the beginning.
I understand that Wahine fans are the top complainers on this board but idk i think evaluations on players’ long term abilities gotta come when we’ve seen this team after some more competition.
Next 2 matches are neutral and Hawaii is the for sure under dog, win or lose the team is going to get a lot of feedback on what needs work.
Go Bows!
