Stella vs DNS part 2. Stella hasn't been performing as well lately. Hopefully she isn't injured and can put on a show for next week.

Can't look past Fullerton. Fullerton wins against Long Beach in 4 I think Beach is having a meltdown lol RAM says to respect the other team I don't think they are quite ready personnel wise to run that fast tempo offense that Hildebrandt wants. They struggle forcing tempo a lot imho. They are going to lose some winnable games right now because of it. (But if they are clicking can give you trouble too)

2 UH volleyball players earn BWC honorsBy Star-Advertiser Staff Sept. 27, 2022 GEORGE F. LEE / GLEE@STARADVERTISER.COM University of Hawaii Wahine Riley Wagoner, left, Kendra Ham, Caylen Alexander, Tiffany Westerberg and Kate Lang celebrated a point against the UC Davis Aggies during a Big West Conference women’s volleyball game at the SimpliFi Arena at the Stan Sheriff Center.Hawaii setter Kate Lang and outside hitter Caylen Alexander claimed half of the Big West’s weekly women’s volleyball awards on Monday. Lang was named the Big West Setter of the Week after directing a Rainbow Wahine attack that hit a combined .356 in sweeps of UC Davis and UC Riverside to open conference play. The sophomore distributed 36 assists and had seven digs and an ace against UC Davis on Friday. She added 39 assists against UC Riverside on Saturday, when the Wahine hit .414 with 49 kills and a season-low eight errors. UH’s hitting percentage was the program’s best since a .494 performance on Sept. 29, 2017, in a win over Cal State Fullerton. Lang moved into the Big West lead with 9.57 assists per set overall and 12.50 in conference matches. Alexander earned her second Freshman of the Week award after posting 23 kills on .375 hitting over the weekend. She had eight kills and a season-high four blocks against UC Davis. She caught fire in the final two sets against UC Riverside and finished the night with a match-high 15 kills on 27 error-free swings to hit .556. She put away seven kills in 15 swings in the third set alone. She also had an ace in both matches, giving her a team-best 17 this season. UC Santa Barbara right-side hitter Tallulah Froley and libero Macall Peed won the offensive and defensive player of the week awards. The Rainbow Wahine (5-5, 2-0 Big West) embark on their second road trip of the season this week and face Cal State Fullerton (7-3, 1-1) on Friday and Long Beach State (6-4, 1-1) on Saturday.

I hope Evans is cleared to play. Her specialty is blocking, right? Tiff has great lashes and all, but she can't buy a block. It would be great to see them both used the same way Shoji used Gregory and Sanders in 2004 and 2005. Gregory the better blocker and Sanders the more aggressive attacker split time at the second middle position.

Against UC Davis she had 5 blocks. ucdavisaggies.com/sports/womens-volleyball/stats/2022/hawai-i/boxscore/22260 Not sure why you have to disparage one player in order for you to prove a point that Evans is a good blocker. Coach Rob could give 2 poops what you think. She will have the last say as to if and when Evans will play. She only hopes that any injury is as completely healed as possible for any of her student athletes. That's always been her priority.

I hope the Hawai'i block is formidable this weekend, regardless of whomever is playing where. Fullerton and The Beach sure didn't do much in terms of blocking each other last night, and I don't want Hawai'i trying to match the hitting percentages both had last night when they play those teams.

From what I saw at the scrimmage Evans is still not jumping like she used to, so I don't think her block is back to how is used to be yet also. Tiff is doing good in the middle to compared to her last year!

Tiff is doing good in the middle to compared to her last year! ++++ Westerberg always belonged in the middle. Last year’s experiment putting her outside wasted a year of her growth. If they had her as #3 middle, Kiraly as a redshirt, and Akana on the RS, this years team would be in better position than it currently is. All said tho, this years team is coming together very nicely and will contend for the Big West title. We just need no bad losses.

There were two other true right sides that were on the roster De Goode who got injured and Akana (converted) and Martyna Leoniak. Maybe with the offensive system they didn't have the right skill set, but as you said, development of all involved would more than likely be paying off this season. I guess everything is a learning process.
