Tayli’s error came at a bad time, but it was just one point. The rest of the team still had to drop six straight points to lose. Agree, Akanas hitting error was more costly! Nope you’re still wrong

They both were. 2 unforced errors in a row was not it. Exactly, no singular player is responsible for a set loss unless they literally hit it into the net 25 times. But like what was said, USC is the next focus and that will be a solid team as well, not to mention back to back so arguments are a must. We’ll see what is improved.

Just because Tayli served one into the net and Akana (very aggressively might I add) hit one out doesn’t mean the team had to keep making errors. Ain’t hindsight a bishhhhhh

Even though Akana's swing went out, it was a close line drive. No one was picking up that ball, it was a hard hit.

I'm going to add that everything is a process. As Coach Rob said, she cannot play for them. It's something you have to figure out. Teaching them technique and positioning is all they can do. Execution is all on them. I believe they will figure it out. The fact that they took a gimpy but very talented ranked team to five is encouraging for this young team. And I don't mean in class young necessarily, but playing as one team - young.
They will learn from this match. I'm encouraged by what I saw.

We’ll see what is improved. well, I think once someone has hit into the net about 4 times in a set, then some blame can be assigned. If a player has hit it into the net 25 times, the coach has to be out to lunch!

The sequence where Hawaii, and really Amber, was blocking every shot in the 4th set was one of the best Rainbow Wahine sequences ever. I am going to watch that scoring run forever.

Hawai‘i women’s volleyball deflated in loss to No. 23 UCLARainbow Wāhine pushed to five sets by the BruinsReece Nagaoka, Sports Editor Sep 5, 2022, Ka Leo Photo by Isabella Ternes/Ka Leo O Hawai‘iExcerpt: The feeling in the interview room of SimpliFi Arena at Stan Sheriff Center Sunday was as different as it could’ve been compared to the atmosphere on the court about an hour and a half earlier. Hawai‘i coach Robyn Ah Mow was visibly upset. Both her and Rainbow Wāhine players Caylen Alexander and Amber Igiede were still processing what happened during that 90-minute period. Two points away from upsetting a top-25 opponent, the Rainbow Wāhine volleyball team lost the championship match of the Outrigger Volleyball Challenge Sunday as No. 23 UCLA beat Hawai‘i 20-25, 25-13, 23-25, 25-23, and 15-9. “For me, it was definitely a hard one to swallow. It was ours for the taking,” Ah Mow said. “We obviously did not want that, and they came back and did what they needed to do,” ...

Big West volleyball honors for Hawaii’s Amber Igiede and Caylen AlexanderBy Star-Advertiser Staff 9/6/22 GEORGE F. LEE / GLEE@STARADVERTISER.COM Hawaii’s Caylen Alexander hits against Texas State on Thursday as teammate Amber Igiede covers on the play.
Hawaii middle blocker Amber Igiede and outside hitter Caylen Alexander earned Big West weekly awards on Monday after the Rainbow Wahine volleyball team’s runner-up finish in the Outrigger Volleyball Challenge. Igiede posted 23 blocks over three matches and was named the Big West Defensive Player of the Week. The junior sent back nine blocks, including a career-high three solo, in a win over West Virginia on Friday. She tied her career high with 10 blocks to go along with 11 kills in a five-set loss to UCLA on Sunday for the third double-double of her career. She also led the Wahine with 47 kills (4.27 per set) on .449 hitting for the week. Igiede matched her career best with 20 kills in the tournament opener against Texas State. Alexander picked up her first Big West Freshman of the Week award after posting 31 kills (2.82 per set), 18 digs and two service aces in her first weekend in SimpliFi Arena at Stan Sheriff Center. She closed the tournament with her first double-double with a match-high 18 kills and 11 digs against UCLA on Sunday. UC Irvine’s Onye Ofoegbu was the BWC Offensive Player of the Week and Long Beach State’s Zayna Meyer repeated as Setter of the Week. The Rainbow Wahine (2-4) close their nonconference schedule with a two-match series with USC (4-2) on Friday and Saturday.

AT THE NET: A RAINBOW WAHINE VOLLEYBALL BLOG BY TIFF WELLS | WEEK 2By Tiff Wells Monday, September 5, 2022, ESPN Honolulu Photo by David CroxfordExcerpts: For the first time since 2019, the Rainbow Wahine Volleyball team welcomed back the Outrigger. Cancelled in 2020 due to the Big West Conference not having a season and then not taking place in 2021, one of the regular tournaments hosted by UH was back. Also back was a return to normalcy…no capacity restrictions and no health and safety protocols inside SimpliFi Arena at Stan Sheriff Center. After going 0-3 at the Texas A&M Invitation, UH was more than thrilled to come back home and play in front of their fan base. ... Like football after an interception is thrown, the mentality needs to be “one snap and clear.” With another important non-conference week on the horizon for UH, it’s the last chance to enhance the resume before conference play starts. For a second-straight year, USC (4-2) comes to the island for a pair of matches. Everyone knows the offense goes through Amber Igiede. With her on the floor for only three rotations though, where will the offense come from for UH? And how quickly can UH sideout in those three rotations where Igiede is off the floor? It’s into week three of the season, but how quickly UH can answer those questions will tell how far this team will go this season.

Edmonds is serving some Hedder Ilustre realness on defense but her passing has been iffy. I wonder why Ham has to be hidden in the passing formation when she and Edmonds are both on the court. In all the matches I've seen, she seems to control the ball better than Edmonds. Is Ham hidden? I swear she’s been in the receive formation and they’ve pushed the outsides up They hide her when she and Edmonds are in there together. It's Edmonds, Ikenaga and Wagoner passing with Ham squeezed in the back corner. She moves into the passing formation once Edmonds leaves the court.
