I wonder if it came down to Alexander’s passing numbers just being better than Cowell’s. Idk how reliable of a passer she was at SMU but my guess is that she hasn’t outperformed anyone yet.
Caylen didn’t pass terribly overall, especially out of area 1 in rotation 1. Didn’t necessarily have the calmest passing body language but playing alongside Riley and Ikenaga should help that.
Also, Lang was pretty garbo in the beginning of last season with finding the middles but she adjusted and it became a strength of hers.
I guess coaching wise it’s almost this tough question of whether you let your projected starting setter get comfortable and find a rhythm or do you let a freshman have a shot and it’s a coin flip of being good or bad.

Uh oh, last call for alcohol lol 😂 Omgosh gurl no! What is your overall grade for Hawaii today? Don’t you dare grade on curve! Definitely a C, some good things I noticed. OTOH, I just don’t understand how we control the first set from beginning to end and then relapse in the second. The first three serves set the mood for that second set, all of them going long. Passing broke down. Consistency at a high level, like that first set, is a must the entire match. They know they can play at that level now since they’ve done it in real time, just need to stay at the level consistently and not taper off. Kind of like replicating what they do when they succeed.

Robyn again has a lot of work to do with this Wahine team, to even be competitive in the BWC. This Wahine team has a lot more problems, then last year's team did. For one thing, there seems to be NO Leadership, on this team. Last year, the Leadership came from BVS. This year, players talk about being the leader, but so far, no one has stepped forward to be THAT Leader. This Wahine Team needs that outspoken leader. I do not care if that leadership comes from a Freshman, someone needs to step up and become that leader, like BVS was last year. I am not talking about being that quiet leader by their actions. I am talking about being that loud, outspoken leader.

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. Hawaii, needs, Melanie, Parra to transfer, in. She, has that, winning attitude, that Hawaii so, desperately n,e,e,d,s Would love that, Parra always seemed like the perfect Hawaii player. Hope she sees time at Texas this season because if not what a freaking waste.

What I am truly concerned about is, if the Wahine do not start to win matches, Igiede may just transfer out. She definitely would want to play on a winning team, not a losing one. She is a very talented player, who could start on just about any team. I do not see her wasting her time, playing for a losing team. For the Wahine to keep Igiede, they need to somehow become a TOP 25 team. Also, go farther then just 1st and 2nd round, of the NCAA Tournament.

There were some plays today where Lang should have went to Igiede off a clean pass, and it looked liked she was trying to avoid her thinking she wouldn’t connect with her. It picked up towards the end though. But Amber too, she’s gotta remember to keep the ball in front of her at all times so she can see the opponents court, blockers, and defenders. I feel like at times she’s relying on her quickness and strength to power through her sets, but A&M was able to get a lot of touches off her attack in the middle. I’d like to see her wait just a tiny bit more and then do quick releases, especially on those ones up the middle. Like let the ball get to Lang first, but follow right behind it.

This year, BIG QUESTION MARK!!!!

Agreed, I think Amber is dominant enough that you could slow things down and give her a higher set and just let her wail on it. Lang is capable, we all know that, she just needs to be more consistent. At the end of the day double digit kills by every one of your starting hitters 4 of 5 playing 3 rotations, is being overlooked I think, that’s the balance we need only minus the errors, connection issues, etc.

Quite disappointed in her setting, be it location, or player selection. Does not seem like Lang has improved much from last year. Still has difficulty with set location, especially when it comes to the Middles.
