I remember when she signed, I added to a Hawai'i post in here about Amber Igiede, who is from Baton Rouge, where I live. I think I remember saying that Hawai'i fans were gonna love her. How the rest of the world, particularly LSU and SEC schools, missed on her is remarkable. What a great career for a really nice kid. Well, you never know how Amber would have worked out at LSU or other places. Amber came into a program(Hawaii)with a history of developing All American middle blockers from Angelica Ljunquist, Heather Bown, Victoria Prince, Olivia Magill, and most recently Emily Maglio(who is on the Canadian NT). She came into a program big on skill development and fundamentals. Some schools are not really high fundamentals and more about getting talented athletes. IMHO, Amber came to a place that allowed her to thrive. Good fit for her and for Hawaii.

I am most excited for Ham to play in the tournament. She redshirted and did not get PT last year (I believe) and now she’s defending the back court consistently. kendra has never redshirted Didn’t she redshirt when she transferred in? I had never seen her play on her first year as a Bow.

This Hawaii team is so good at defense and does better on off plays compared to previous Wahine teams. So fun to watch!

Just want to congratulate these girls for a great season thus far and the coaching staff for working to get the very best out of these girls. Fact is, it looked real ugly at times in the beginning of the season especially with a couple girls. But they all worked extremely hard to get better each day. Never gave up and scrapped it way forward and improved.
That says alot about the tenacity and grit of these girls and these coaches working hard to coach these girls up. Congrats all around! Go Bows!

Amber has surpassed BVS’ kill total from last season playing the same amount of sets up until this point. Additionally, Wags is nearing 350 kills for the season which would be about 100 more than last season. These 2 athletes really upped their games this year.

Amber’s 19 kills .607 hitting percentage last night is ridiculous. She’s 4th in the Nation in hitting percentage taking twice as many swings as Asjia O'Neal.

I hope UH don't go far away for NCAA's I hope we do. We do better when we travel far. Oregon Is the only close spot I want. Do you really want to go to Stanford or San Diego?
