So is USC winning at UCLA for for Hawaii? I think it helps a little bit. Hopefully, if USC keeps on winning, then that could potentially help Hawaii have a win against a top 50 opponent (at least in terms of RPI) which would give us a little boost in RPI. According to the unofficial RPI, USC sits at #50 (with Hawaii at #47), so any win for USC would help.

According to the unofficial RPI, USC sits at #50 (with Hawaii at #47), so any win for USC would help. It would normally be a wash .... but since hawaii played usc 2x ... usc's win gets factored into hawaii's RPI formula 2x .... and ucla's loss gets factored in just once ...

Really hope we see Evans in the middle and Westerberg on the right this weekend. Love you Akana, but you’re hitting 0.63…. Make that 0.063 lol My only qualm with Westerberg on the right is that she is goofy af hitting sets at the pin. I’d first rather see Chandler take a crack at OH and Caylen move to the right before moving Tiff out of the middle where she has seemed more comfortable. Agree, but if it comes down to Westerberg and Akana, anything above .063 is an upgrade, so maybe Tiff on the right is it. I don't mind goofy as long as it's scoring points.

The problem is goofy doesn’t score points consistently and especially against better competition and especialllllllyyyyyyy when you’re a pin hitter. But maybe she’s improved.

Taking a step back helped UH volleyball player Riley Wagoner take her game to a new levelBy Jason Kaneshiro 9/23/22, Honolulu Star-Advertiser GEORGE F. LEE / GLEE@STARADVERTISER.COM University of Hawaii Wahine Riley Wagoner was on a cross court kill attempt against Texas State Bobcats Tessa Marshall and Emily DeWalt in a volleyball game at the SimpliFi Arena at the Stan Sheriff Center.
JAMM AQUINO/JAQUINO@STARADVERTISER.COM Hawaii outside hitter Riley Wagoner has been using more finesse than power lately.Riley Wagoner’s scholar-athlete status speaks to her commitment to getting her homework done. So in the aftermath of a disappointing loss to USC followed by an hourlong locker room meeting two weeks ago, the University of Hawaii outside hitter understood the assignment and applied those study habits to preparing for the Rainbow Wahine volleyball team’s next test. “The homework was to watch the film and just go through each set and find any little detail that we could that could help us win the next day,” said Wagoner, a two-time UH scholar-athlete award winner and a Big West academic all-conference honoree last year. Wagoner had struggled to finish points in the first night of the series, with 12 kills offset by 13 errors in a season-high 46 swings. The issues appeared to carry over into the rematch, with the Women of Troy claiming the first two sets. But after a players-only meeting in the tunnel behind the UH bench, the Wahine extended the match in the third, dominated the fourth and pulled away in the fifth to cap nonconference play with the a rousing reverse sweep. UH’s collective comeback mirrored a personal resurgence for Wagoner, who ended the night with her most efficient hitting performance of the season. After banging into the USC block or trying to tip it over the taller Trojans on the first night, she found ways to use the block to her advantage and exploited an opening in the middle of the court to tip shots past the closing middle blocker. “It definitely helped for me to be able to go back and look at the things I did wrong and the places that were open,” Wagoner said of the adjustment process. Over the final three sets, Wagoner put away 12 kills in 19 attacks with no errors, including a 5-for-6 performance in the fifth set, to finish at .389. “That was definitely a different Riley,” UH coach Robyn Ah Mow said. “She came back and you don’t have to always hit the ball 100 miles per hour. … Work smarter not harder, right?” After a bye week to study and sharpen their game, the Rainbow Wahine (3-5) open defense of their Big West title this weekend. They begin conference play tonight against UC Davis (6-5, 1-0 BWC) at SimpliFi Arena at Stan Sheriff Center. They close a seven-match homestand with Saturday’s match with UC Riverside (2-8, 0-1). Wagoner opened the season with a career-high 21 kills on .364 hitting in a five-set loss at Texas A&M and enters tonight’s match second on the team with 88 total kills and 2.84 per set, trailing only middle blocker Amber Igiede (104, 3.35). While she saw a wild swing in her offensive numbers between the two USC matches, Wagoner has remained a steady presence in the back row with 63 digs, good for second on the team, and is a key member of the passing rotation. In the USC win, she complemented her kill total with eight digs and two aces and handled 22 serves without an error. “That’s always been a constant for Riley,” assistant coach Kaleo Baxter said. “She’s the steady Eddie, six-rotation, ball-control outside (hitter). She passes a lot of balls and digs a lot for us and we always know that part of her game is going to be on.” Wagoner plays with an even-keeled approach that helps compartmentalize her work in the front and back rows. “Coach Rob is really big on not letting one part of your game affect your overall game,” Wagoner said. “That’s something we as a team really work on every day.” Collectively, the bye week creates some separation between a challenging nonconference schedule and the start of Big West play as the Wahine pursue a third straight title. Having demonstrated her willingness to learn, Wagoner is part of the group of UH veterans taking on a teaching role for the newcomers heading into the 10-week conference grind. “We’re definitely trying to prepare them as much as possible,” Wagoner said. “But they’re a really great group and they’re already more mature than others would be, so they’re already ready for it.” Big West women’s volleyballAt SimpliFi Arena at Stan Sheriff Center UC Davis (6-5, 1-0 BWC) vs. Hawaii (3-5, 0-0) >> When: Today, 7 p.m. >> TV: Spectrum Sports >> Radio: 1420-AM / 92.7-FM

Little margin for error as Big West play begins for Rainbow Wahine volleyballBy Jason Kaneshiro Sept. 21, 2022, Honolulu Star-Advertiser The grind of conference competition tends to translate across league lines. So after spending four years in the Big Ten, University of Hawaii defensive specialist Talia Edmonds has an idea of what to expect entering her first tour of the Big West. Both conferences place a premium on the regular season, with neither sponsoring a postseason tournament. But the margin for error in the quest for a berth in the NCAA women’s volleyball tournament is slimmer in the Big West than it is in the Power Five conferences. “In the Big Ten, they’ll take seven, maybe eight teams,” said Edmonds, who transferred to UH from Michigan State in January. “But in the Big West you have to be really good and every game matters. “That’s something I’m more excited for — every game has these really high stakes, and no matter who you’re playing, it’s important to be your best and do your best and not take any time off.” After taking a few days to recharge during their lone bye week of the season, the two-time defending Big West champion Rainbow Wahine (3-5) open their 10-week conference schedule by taking on UC Davis (6-5) on Friday and UC Riverside (2-8) on Saturday at SimpliFi Arena at Stan Sheriff Center. UC Davis opened the Big West season with a four-set home victory over UC Riverside on Tuesday, winning 25-16, 13-25, 26-24, 25-19 before making the trip to Honolulu. UH has made the NCAA Tournament 39 times, including each of its past 28 seasons (not counting the 2020 pandemic cancellation) and again entered the season as the Big West favorite coming off back-to-back league championships. UH topped the preseason poll in tight voting among the conference’s coaches. UC Santa Barbara was second, followed by Cal Poly and Long Beach State. UH’s challenging nonconference schedule included losses to San Diego, ranked fourth in this week’s AVCA coaches poll, and No. 10 Pittsburgh in the season’s opening weekend in Texas. There were also lessons to be drawn from dropping five-set decisions to Texas A&M and UCLA and a four-set loss to open a series with USC. The Wahine bounced back by rallying past the Women of Troy after dropping the first two sets of the rematch to enter Big West play on an upswing with the reverse sweep. “I think our preseasons have been pretty good at getting us prepared going into (the Big West) season,” UH coach Robyn Ah Mow said. “You can’t take plays off. … You have to get in there, do your job, and the way you show respect is you play your ‘A’ game. Bring out your ‘A’ game every time you step on the floor.” The Wahine capped the bye week with their Green-White scrimmage following the Alumnae match on Friday and added some depth over the break. The 1,000 or so in attendance got their first look at middle blocker Kennedi Evans, who was recently cleared for full participation in her comeback from a knee injury she suffered last year while playing for Utah. The 6-foot-2 junior joins a middle blocker group anchored by fellow juniors Amber Igiede and Tiffany Westerberg. “Just trying to listen to my body and listen to what the doctors say and work back to what I can do,” Evans said Friday. “It felt like a very long time, so I was excited to get back into things,” she said of being cleared. “I know it takes mind and body a while to get there, but I felt like I did all the work and I’ve had great support from my teammates and coaches … so it hasn’t been too bad of a journey.” BIG WEST WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALLAt SimpliFi Arena at Stan Sheriff Center UC Davis (6-5, 1-0 BWC) vs. Hawaii (3-5, 0-0) >> When: Friday, 7 p.m. >> TV: Spectrum Sports >> Radio: 1420-AM / 92.7-FM
