At the Net: A Rainbow Wahine Volleyball Blog By: Tiff Wells October 9, 2022, ESPN Honolulu Photos: David CroxfordExcerpt: UH heads to Central California for Week 4 of BWC play. Two matches, back-to-back for the Bows sees them on the blue court at CSU Bakersfield before the showdown at Mott against Cal Poly. The Roadrunners picked up their first two conference wins last week, two sweeps over UC Davis and UC Riverside. After starting the season 0-7, the Mustangs have since won eight of their last nine (two 3-0 wins over UC Riverside and UC Davis). Keep in mind that if you’re planning to go watch UH and Cal Poly on Saturday, the Mustangs are asking their fans to wear black. UH opened the week with an RPI of 41, buoyed by a very strong non-conference slate of opponents. The preseason favorite in the conference found different ways to come away with two wins at home this past week. Questions facing UH as they head into Week 4 include who will play on the right side, but also the health and status of Tayli Ikenaga. But one thing is for certain…this team won’t roll over and quit when facing adversity.

62 pages already!?!?!? Holy fudge! We're still in mid-January! Could someone summarize these 62 pages for me? I'm sure others would love a summary, too. (To be honest, I haven't been following volleyball in the past year.) Season is over. It was either great to make it into the second round, or a slide into mediocrity. We really need a terminating OH. We have too many OPPs. What, Leoniak is in the portal? It's okay, someone no one has actually seen play is sure to step right in and be all conference. Riley Wagoner - post your complaint [here]. Is Coach Ang back yet? We need a DS. Whoa, we got Edmonds. We still need another DS. Where's our unknown European recruit at? Matias is going to start in a 6-2. Or be a DS in a 5-1. Destiny, you coming or what? I think you're all caught up. Since we're now heading into a big conference showdown with Poly at the Mott, I thought I'd check in on how things have shaped up since the end of last season. Season is over. It was either great to make it into the second round, or a slide into mediocrity. - Hmmm . . . that might still be open to debate. We really need a terminating OH. - Hello Caylen Alexander! We have too many OPPs. - Maybe, but we still need just one to step up and give us dependable scoring and a strong block. What, Leoniak is in the portal? It's okay, someone no one has actually seen play is sure to step right in and be all conference. - Hello again Caylen Alexander! Riley Wagoner - post your complaint [here]. - Has she silenced all critics? I know you're still out there . . . Is Coach Ang back yet? - Looks like "Aloha means goodbye." We need a DS. Whoa, we got Edmonds. We still need another DS. - Wish we had another DS. We're only more sprained ankle away from being knee deep in poi. Where's our unknown European recruit at? - It appears she was in Israel. Matias is going to start in a 6-2. Or be a DS in a 5-1. - Tune in next season (unless another DS sprains her ankle). Destiny, you coming or what? - Exit Destiny, enter Stella Adeyemi

Rainbow Wāhine volleyball takes down UC San DiegoHawai‘i overcomes an injury to a key player in four-set win over the Tritons Reece Nagaoka, Sports Editor Oct 9, 2022, Ka Leo Diego Rivera / Ka Leo O Hawai'iHawai'i outside hitter Riley Wagoner attempts an attack during the Rainbow Wahine's four-set win over UC San Diego Saturday night. Diego Rivera / Ka Leo O Hawai'iExcerpt: Whether it affected the University of Hawai‘i women’s volleyball team or not, Robyn Ah Mow did not think the injury to libero Tayli Ikenaga during pregame warmups excused the Rainbow Wāhine’s slow start against UC San Diego on Saturday night. “Obviously, Tayli is a big part of the team, and it is what it is,” the Hawai‘i coach said. “Things can’t stop. We got to just keep rolling.” Ikenaga appeared to suffer an injury to her left ankle in warmups and was on crutches during and after the match. Defensive specialist Talia Edmonds replaced Ikenaga as the libero in the rotation and recorded a career-high 28 digs in the 27-25, 30-28, 23-25, 25-19 win at SimpliFi Arena at Stan Sheriff Center. “It’s not like she hasn’t played libero before,” Ah Mow said about Edmonds. “The full change into, ‘Okay, I got to do this job instead of coming for like three rotations,’ it’s definitely different, but can she handle it? She can. I thought she did well.” Riley Wagoner also set a new career-high with 25 kills in the win, while Caylen Alexander recorded her third double-double of the season with 16 kills and 14 digs. Amber Igiede also had 15 kills for the Rainbow Wāhine, who hit .235 with 31 attacking errors.

Local libero Naya Dong, UC San Diego push Hawaii women's volleyball teamBy Brian McInnis Oct. 09, 2022, Spectrum News Hawaii Hawaii libero Tayli Ikenaga watched Saturday's match from the bench after hurting her left foot during pregame warmups. (Spectrum News/Brian McInnis)Excerpt: For UH, an apparent injury during warmups forced libero Tayli Ikenaga out of the lineup mere moments from first serve. Starting defensive specialist Talia Edmonds swapped her jersey to black and took Ikenaga’s place. Edmonds, a transfer from Michigan State, recorded 28 digs, the most by a Rainbow Wahine player since Tita Akiu had 34 against Baylor in the 2018 NCAA tournament. Hitter Riley Wagoner had career highs of 25 kills on 51 swings (.314 hitting) in the win. Coach Robyn Ah Mow did not have an immediate update on Ikenaga’s status after the game; her ankle was wrapped, and she left the court on crutches. Full story: spectrumlocalnews.com/hi/hawaii/sports/2022/10/09/naya-dong--uc-san-diego-push-hawaii-women-s-volleyball-team?cid=app_share Hawaii hitter Riley Wagoner had a career-best 25 kills in the four-set victory.

She has become that terminating OH for the Bows in conference (along with Caylen). Everyone has seen how she has bumped her game up tremendously in the past month.
