There's no way that call stands. It should have at least been inconclusive at the worst case scenario.
I still don't know how you look at that replay and don't see the majority of the ball hitting the floor, but, whatever. Neither team deserved to win. Sad what USC and Hawaii volleyball matches have become.

Wags 12Kills and 13Digs Double/Double Crickets You’re always trying to prove a point… We’ll take the win but she still hit a .159. It’s not being negative but I think you’re missing the point that she needs to offer more especially for her position and that she’s a senior. Some people calling her a queen and praising her for that performance is questionable. That’s like calling Taylor Swift a Queen next to Beyonce. But a win is a win for the team!

I definitely understand your point, but I'm also not sure what the solution is. For the seasons far, Amber is our only hitter hitting over .200, and I don't think pulling our best passing OH (even for a few rotations) is the answer to the offensive woes. I think we could potentially move Riley to the OPP position to limit the number of attempts that she gets, and we could have Paula (with Tali as a DS) or Tali at the other OH position opposite of Caylen? Or possibly we could see more action from Kendra? I feel like Robyn will mostly stick with the same lineup though, minus possibly having Paula come in the front row for Tali at OPP, and I would love to see Jacyn come in for Kennedi when she's struggling.

There’s no solution in regards of Riley. I think we are just stuck with Riley starting at the pin and we have to take whatever she has to offer rather she’s hot or cold. But I would love to see some changes and subs too. USC is definitely not going to let this next game pass them. They practically handed almost a full set just by service errors and I don’t think that’s going to happen the next time.

Check on me after Saturday when it happens again, for sure.

The Wahine played two teams last night, the one we played in the first two sets looked dazed and confused, the second team played like a ranked team. I’ve never seen that before, are they usually that schizophrenic?

RAM, i am BEGGING YOU to stop calling for amber to serve Gala, it's not working! Nick is the guy that calls the serves. Anyway, what a mess last night was. Hawai'i almost threw away a match they had complete control off (like UCLA last season). The Bows need to learn how to close, especially when they're winning the serve/pass game by a wide margin.

Yeah it's Coach Nick calling where to serve. He crouches near the side of the endline near the reserves and gestures what part of the court/person to serve at.

The Wahine played two teams last night, the one we played in the first two sets looked dazed and confused, the second team played like a ranked team. I’ve never seen that before, are they usually that schizophrenic? TBH, applied to both teams last night. USC gave up on Fields handling serves and gave her a DS. Their serving sucked then was suddenly all world. Keller seems to have that UCLA men's VB mentality of grip and rip it and hope for the best. Sometimes to their credit, sometimes not. Their defense was below average then when he went with smalls in the backrow suddenly nothing dropped. Only Fields was an offensive threat, but apparently she can take 80 swings a match. They came slowly back down to earth in the 5th. Hawai'i got stuck in long rallies and rotations with Evans in the middle. It caught up to them and Evans as they started to look gassed in those rotations late in the 3rd set. As Evans got tired her offensive threat went south and those rotations with her in front got longer. Robyn stuck with her. Not sure if that's a comment on Evans vs. Bamis or Robyn with the long leash because that's what Robyn does sometimes. Sometimes to her credit, but sometimes not.
