The number of aces don't tell the story on how dominant some of Poly's service runs were, and they had Hawaii on their heels and out of system a lot. If you remember De Falco's serve for the LBSU men's team, Dvoracek's serve is comparable for the women's game. It was a victory just to pop up some of her serves. I don't think the main problem was Westerberg because Poly presents a buch of matchup problems as their big middles can counter Hawaii's to some extent, and their firepower from the outside far exceeds Hawaii's. Since, a sold out Mott is a lot tougher venue than a half-filled Thunderdome (I once met an older Poly couple there who wear earplugs to matches), I thought this would be the toughest conference match of the season. I think the good news is that despite playing an exhausting five set match the night before, not having its starting libero, and Dvoracek going off with 21 kills on .500+ hitting, Hawaii almost won this match with leads or ties late in all four sets. Yeah..we just gassed. You add up all the situations (injuries, playing back to back road games on probably the hardest trip travel wise, playing against the 2nd best team in the conference, an opponent well rested and had 3 days to prepare for us), we were bound to struggle if luck wasn’t on our side. Who is the best team in the conference?

Who is the best team in the conference? Check back at the end of the conference season. Hawai'i was leading the conference pre Cal Poly match. Actually, UCSB was the 2nd best team in the conference (according to records) because although they were tied with Cal Poly with one loss each, they beat the Mustangs head-to-head. Three-way tie for first currently.

Who is the best team in the conference? At the time of the match, Hawaii was in first place so that was what I was going off of. If you asking who is best team now, yeah check back at the end of the season. Nobody has played an entire first round yet. No one now can claim to be the best cause Hawaii lost to CP who lost to UCSB who lost to LBSU who lost to Fullerton…….

Debatable between the three: Hawaii, Poly, & UCSB but one thing is for sure - it ain't Fullerton!

OT. Surprised to see Nikki Taylor and Felipe announcing Kahuku/Farrington on OC16 Live. I spent the whole game trying to guess who was commenting. I thought it was Longo since she is kinda around the HS scene with her club. But when she started talking about Kaiser representation, I knew it was her. Really awesome to see her commentating.

Reid is good, can see her being a top 10 recruit. For her to be still young and so good at the game is just wow.
