Stats are misleading. Peed is by far the best libero in the conference. I wonder what she's passing for the season bc she covers so much court and her defense is just too good. Ham's dig count is high, just because of the # of opportunities she got, UCSB set Froley a lot, who hit in Ham's direction a lot. Froley still hit .323 so it's not like they slowed her down. On the other hand, our left side block is a weak point, so that's also a credit to Ham for digging that many balls. Good liberos get avoided, I'm sure a team strategy was to avoid hitting at Peed. This 💯 Totally not taking a thing away from Ham because she stood her ground and got those digs. But UCSB hit a lot of balls towards Hawaii’s right sideline. There were a few rallies where UCSB just kept hitting around Ham’s zone almost expecting her to let up and to her credit she did not.

There were a few rallies where UCSB just kept hitting around Ham’s zone almost expecting her to let up and to her credit she did not. UCSB defensively was trying trying to take away line on UH leftside, and force x-court into a waiting Peed in area five. With UH middles on the slide right, they tried to take away x-court from the middles and force line, with Peed waiting in area five. Their blocking scheme was trying to channel everything to Peed in upper area five. Hawaii blocking was trying to take away line from Froley. When the UH middles did get out to where the pin was setting the block on the UCSB oppo, they forced a x-court, frequently to a waiting Ham. And, when Ham is back right, Lang is front right blocking. So, Ham also gets the OH trying to hit over the smaller block of Lang.

So, Ham also gets the OH trying to hit over the smaller block of Lang. For sure! UCSB just attacked it more relentlessly than any team I’ve seen Hawaii play this season. Fields, Luper and Maia just ate no matter where the defense was but Hawaii did a much better job with UCSB. Lang even held her own at the net 🥳 So kudos to both ladies for doing their best to lock down that sideline

Hawaii is going to be loaded next year while the other Big West teams lose their big guns. I think Santa Barbara and UCI are returning all of their major players, assuming they do not transfer and take their extra year of eligibility from the 2020 covid year. Santa Barbara's roster lists a lot of seniors, but they still have eligibility left, like Maa, Wilson, Froley, and Shimoda. UCI doesn't have any seniors listed on their roster and would return Umeh and Ofoegbu. If this is the case, teams need to do better in the preseason to help the conference. Cal Poly and Santa Barbara were supposed to be good on paper at the beginning of the season but neither did well in the preseason (although I believe there were a couple of injuries that hindered them). Unfortunately, none brought in any good wins and had loses that really hurt their RPI. I’m not sure all those listed as senior have extra years left. Mehana played 2 years at Bakersfield and this is her second year at UCSB. The extra Covid year allow SA to not lose a year of eligibility due to Covid but does not add a year of eligibility to every athletes clock. Instead of the normal 5 years to play 4, the NCAA allowed 6 years to play 4. If you’re playing in the 4th year, you cannot play a fifth…..unless you petition the NCAA for exemption(lost a year due to injury, personal matter, etc…). Deni Wilson is listed as a senior but she started school in 2019 so she can come back next year. Froley was awarded a medical RS year. Not certain Ma’a can come back. Shimoda is not that good. For UH, Amber, Tiff, Brae and Riley all enrolled in 2019….played 2019 as a true freshman. 2020 was cancelled due to Covid so 2021 was their sophomore year and this is their junior year with 2023 being their senior year. 2018 HS graduates will only be able to play in 2023 if they redshirted one year. 2018…redshirted 2019…redshirt freshman 2020….cancelled 2021…redshirt sophomore 2022…redshirt Jr. 2023…redshirt senior Talia Edmonds falls into the above category because she lost the entire 2019 campaign with an injury. She only played 2 years at MSU even though she was there for 3 years. Same with Kennedi who redshirted 2019 at Utah.

She only played 2 years at MSU even though she was there for 3 years. Same with Kennedi who redshirted 2019 at Utah. I believe Ma'a will finish her eligibility this year at UCSB. For Froley, she received a medical redshirt in 2018, and she was a redshirt freshman in 2019. So I believe Froley has one more year of eligibility? Like you said, Wilson has one more year of eligibility, and I believe Shimoda may have two more years of eligibility.

I always wonder why Lang isn’t getting the setter of the week award. She’s doing more than good to me & leads the conference in assists. What are everyone else’s thoughts? she did win it last month. hopefully she gets more consideration ...

Froley received a medical hardship waiver in 2018 and was considered a redshirt freshman in 2019. In both cases, their years of eligibility used are 2019, 2021, and 2022. Both have the opportunity to use another year of eligibility in 2023.

Same with Kennedi who redshirted 2019 at Utah. 2019 - Amber, Tiff, Brae and Riley . . . plus Brooke Van Sickle, Jolie Rasmussen, Hanna Helvig, Bailey Choy and Kyra Hanawahine. That was one heck of a recruiting class.

Hammy has been impressive in the backcourt, what a find! I’m also very impressed with Wagoner’s development as an all around player, quite an improvement offensively from a few weeks ago. Lang has evolved into a solid and dependable setter. We are doing a better job covering our hitters when our shot attempts are blocked. Great win for the program!

One of the things I do love about Wags is how composed she is. She has such a range.
