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. Very true, I was impressed with those kill stats too! It seems, it does not take much to impress you people. What were the kill stats when in the 20's, I do not believe very good. That is when you need to be very efficient to win sets and matches. Instead of being good before reaching 20, then fading when in the 20's.

The Wahine team needs to develop that Killer Instinct. When you have your opponent down, put them away, NOT let them back in, via errors. Almost every time the Wahine had A & M down, they would let them back into the set, via a hitting error, or serving error. Good teams do not do this. Right now, the Wahine are extremely far from being a good team, they are not even a decent team, at the moment. They just need to practice what to do once in the 20's. What needs to be done to win points in the 20's.

Since you’re so wise, Tell us why exactly this was supposed to be a 3-0 sweep by Hawaii? Because they swept them last season? Because if that’s the reason…

Because if that’s the reason… Cause the Wahine team should know what it takes to win matches. By not making dumb mistakes at crucial times during a set. What I was not counting on was this team not having a vocal leader. To keep this team focused. Until that leader steps forward, this Wahine team will struggle. BVS was that vocal leader, keeping the Wahine team focused at crucial points in a set, and match.

I think both team knew what it takes to win matches, seeing as how they both took 2 sets before A&M took the 5th. Oh ok so you were there at the match and you were able to hear a lack of vocal leadership? I’m not even sure what that even means.

I can already tell this is going to be a long season posting in this thread. It has been one loss, imagine how it gets if the Bows get a second one.

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...:/ It has never been like this, so why even try and make this critique on the Bows? Why compare the two?

I noticed that Lang had her thigh wrapped and wasn't really jump setting unless she had to go get the ball. I wonder if she's a little banged up and maybe her foot speed was affecting her location?

Watching old tape it's not close. The difference (imho) is that there is more high level volleyball on TV. We can watch the B1G or Texas whenever we want and see what our teams are lacking compared to the top teams. Back in the day, we only had our own Wahine matches to compare it to.

After rewatching the game, I feel like a lot of you just have your individual issues against Akana. Sure it’d be great to see others get a chance but there were a lot of things Akana did well. She just had some bad hitting errors that were tough to look at but tbh there errors everywhere.
I can see her being the first on the chopping block if not Caylen to make room for getting Cowell in. But remember De Goede didn’t even play with the A team during the open scrimmage, I think a lot of you are overestimating what she will contribute this season.

I don’t mind Akana but the issue I have with her play is her consistency also she does not even offer a serve for the team or play any floor defense. Caylen actually had one of the best serves yesterday. Even if she doesn’t get the start as a hitter Caylen should at least come in as a server. I see more positives for Caylen though but that’s me (I am not a volleyball expert or former collegiate player so this is just from someone who watches volleyball for years)

Could easily see the same lineup starting again and continuing throughout the weekend. I don’t see a glaring need to change anything up besides maybe just getting some looks for the other pins and Matias or Byrd. If I were Robyn, I would keep everything the same and change setters and see how it works

They need to get off her U yeah? 😂 But I liked Akana yesterday. Sure she had some cracks mistakes (of the gross nature) but she was banging away. We just don’t know enough about players like De Goede, Matias and Cowell. If they were the ticket, they would’ve been punched into that starting line up yesterday. Not saying that they ain’t it or can’t but the only people who would know are those on the team and staff.
