Cal is another great test for this team. And Hawaii up 2-0 with wins at flights 2 and 4!

Bows fall 2-3 to Cal. The 1’s had a match point in the third but Cal came back to take it 16-14

Darn! Hawaii almost upset #6 Cal! Tied 2-2 and leading in set 3 of Flight 1 14-13, Hawaii couldn't put it away and Cal scored the last 3 points to claim that flight and the match. So close!

Hawaii has shown that it can compete. They are getting better.

Hawaii has shown that it can compete. They are getting better. As a lot of us have said for many of Hawai’i’s teams - trust the process, it may not happen over night, but there is no need to be negative when results aren’t instant. Not every school has mega all stars in it’s lineup.

Concordia beat several D1 teams this year, good win.
Coaches making a risky play to switch Flights 5 and 6 vs. USC.

Things are looking a little desperate for Hawaii. In the coming BIG WEST CHALLENGE, they can only afford to lose one match, then win out until the BWC Tournament. So Hawaii can only afford 1 more loss and finish no lower then 2nd in the BWC Tournament, if they want to make the NCAA Tournament.

Hawaii fans showed up and represented well today! Your 4s pair Riley Wagoner and Sydney Amiatu were very impressive for most of the match against USC’s White/Pater. They made very few mistakes for most of the match. Their line shots had magnificent placement. Also, Wagoner had several good blocks on White.

Watched the online webcast. (Kudos to USC for their excellent streaming services!)
The #1 flight (Santer and Embry) are solid--they are an obvious step above any other UH pair. Embry is the real deal as a recruit--maybe the best since Scoles/Martin.
I don't know if Thelle is still injured but I didn't think she and Glagau are really meshing. I think we will struggle at the #2 flight like we did all of last season.
Flights 3-5 just make too many mistakes vs. a team like USC. USC just plays such error free ball. USC's 3's would be 1 or 2 on most teams in the country. Lawrenz will also be a good one.
I agree with above post that Riley Wagoner had a great day. 4's are in good shape. Her partner (Amiatu) is flashy but still a bit inconsistent.
They didn't show a lot of the 5's. (Normally the 6's) I think they are better than the past couple of 5/6 flights we had recently but still no match for a team like USC.

Yikes, BW Challenge providing no live stats?
