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...:/ Lol might be the fact that it’s women’s…?

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. 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 have no idea if where Matias and Lang are in terms of who is clearly better but according to Robyn in one of her TV interviews, she mentioned that all spots are up for grab…….including setter so that means Matias has been holding her own in practices.

I hope that is true, except for one spot, which is coach speak! Igiede is M1, which should be obvious, trying to motivate her is fine, but I don't think she needs it!

A side note - Arkansas just upset #8 Washington running a 6-2 offense. Not entirely the same Washington team we lost to last year in NCAA’s (missing a middle, and oppo), but still a very good Huskies team. Coach Cook stated the outsides for Arkansas were good on serve, serve receive, and defense. Wonder if it’s because of our serve receive, passing that we’re not seeing that offense, because we have two great setters and hitter depth that can be utilized. Looking forward to tomorrow’s match tho!

The Wahine need to develop that winning attitude. If they do not, and continue to lose, their mindset will be, as long as we play decent it is ok to lose, which is not a good thing to have. By winning attitude, I mean, winning crucial points during a set, to win that set. That is something the Wahine did not do against A & M. But it was something A & M did, that is why A & M won the match. The Wahine either got very conservative with tip shots, hitting out, serving in to the net, or long, during crucial points. Things you do not do to win a set, or match. Teams with a winning attitude make the right plays at the right times. That is what the Wahine need to do.
The Wahine can lead a match in hitting percentage, kills, etc., but if it does not come at the crucial points in a set, or match, it does not mean anything. Which is what occurred against A & M. The Wahine should have won this match 3 sets, but they made crucial errors during the match which caused them to lose.

Would like to see Matias setting, just to see if her setting location with the Middles is better then Lang's. Cause Lang's setting location with the Middles, especially with Igiede was quite attrocious, at least the 1st 4 sets.
One thing for sure, the pin hitters need to stop dinking the ball over. They have to get into the mindset of always swinging away. Those dink shots never work against good teams. Forget about trying to finesse the ball over, just hit with power, all the time. That is what good, and exceptional hitters do, always. If the Wahine hitters continue to try to finesse the ball over, all they are doing is helping their opponent out.

I’m assuming they mean Matias, but we don’t actually know if she’s a good collegiate setter yet.

She, has that, winning attitude, that Hawaii so, desperately n,e,e,d,s

My Unprofessional Review Serving I'm fine with service errors when you've got some aggressive servers but come on ladies. I see some posters saying Hawaii is serving aggressive. With the exception of Caylen, none of these girls should ever miss a serve. Grade: F Serve-Receive Pretty steady today. Ham was a pleasant surprise. Edmonds underwhelmed. Caylen was targeted and they need to hide her. Grade: B- Passing Some really good moments. Some really bad moments (Tayli shanking a free ball?) Grade: C Setting Kate seemed to be under setting a lot of balls and had poor connections with Amber. Great distribution. She'll figure it out but would love to see Matias get a shot. Grade: C+ Blocking I mean, TAMU somehow had a ton of firepower but our block just wasn't there today. Both middles seemed slow to the pin and they couldn't figure out there timing. Grade: D Attacking Some good stuff from all hitters today, but also some really bad stuff too (Riley's tip into the net, Akana hitting it under the net, lots of tips from the Middle). Lots of players taking swings though which I love to see. Grade B- Attitude This has always been a Hawaii thing for me - no one on the team seems to fire everyone up. Amber tries but then we see Riley "rolling her eyes". Idk why this bugs me as much as it does but would love to see the girls celebrate with passion instead of just ho-hum on to the next point. But overall, great attitudes and no one got down. Grade: B Overall Some promising things from today's game. Will be fun to see what the bench can do and how the starting lineup evolves. I don't think anyone's position is secure, except maybe Amber. I think the girls will do enough to win the Big West but they've got their work cutout. Grade C+ Are you grading on a curve. Cause the Grade for all phases should be a 'D' at best.
