Bows season comes to an end, losing 3-1 to LMU.
Great fight all year long. Never lost to any team below them, with a few upsets along the way. Thank you to the six seniors Glagau, Santer, Napoleon, Maidment, Wagoner, Hardisty for their dedication and hard work in their careers. Go Bows!

All I can say is, this Wahine Beach Volleyball Head Coach, reminds me of the Wahine Soccer Team Head Coach, no idea how to coach, all either one believes is to win a match is on emotion, neither one knows strategy, or what it actually takes to win. This NCAA Tournament should prove that point. The Wahine Beach Team was not even competitive. What an embarrassment. If the Wahine Beach Volleyball wants to go far into the NCAA Tournament, the Athletic Director needs to bring in a new Head Coach with experience.

I feel sorry for the Seniors, cause with a better Head Coach they had the players to go quite deep into the NCAA Tournament. The Wahine Team got lucky they won the BWC. Had nothing to do with coaching.

Hawaii will struggle to get back to the NCAA Tournament. Cal Poly, and LBSU have all but bypassed the Hawaii team, which should never have occurred.

I don't think it would have mattered but shocked Lorenzo didn't earn the starting role after her performance last weekend.
3 years in a row not competitive against LMU in the tourney.

This move just proves he is not worthy of being a Head Coach.

I'm coming out of the woodwork to congratulate this year's squad! Sandbows are on the right track to be a national contender in the coming years - and one of the many reasons is the rise of CalPoly & LBSU's programs.
So happy for Glagau & Napoleon for playing their hearts out and winning their last match. They mean so much to the program. Kudos to Wagoner who wasn't recruited as a beach player but became a reliable player on the sand; Santer who had an amazing career in the top 3 flights; Maidment whose jump serves I'll miss and who held flights 3-5 solidly throughout her career, and; Hardisty - I've always been a fan of her and I wished she played more but hey - she won most of her games even when at exhibition matches (and she had a difficult and demanding major which might have prevented her from being 100% focused on the sport).
For the final match, I just wished they had kept Lorenzo with Burton and switched Flights 3 and 4. Wagoner/Amiatu blew their lead and Maidment/Miller had a rough start and a late romp.
Looking forward to the next season already! With half of the Sandbows starters returning + CP/LBSU having most of their starters set to return, I can see another tough conference battle with Hawai'i potentially making some surprise wins!
GO BOWS!

GO BOWS! Sorry, but not with their current Head Coach. They will hard pressed to win the BWC, or even make the NCAA Tournament. He will make stupid moves like he always does.

Congrats Bows. See you next year.
Side note: wth is Cowell’s job supposed to be? was she a practice player? a general manager? IG page handler? Imo she’s pretty useless there. Someone else from the team deserved to be in Bama more than her tbh.

Someone else from the team deserved to be in Bama more than her tbh. She's supposed to be the "team manager." She technically graduated from the program last year, so she's not taking another player's spot, if that's what you mean. Honestly didn't like how she would add commentary to the instagram stories, but it grew on me. Considering how little coverage the beach games get, I'll take what I can get LOL.

Im not going to lie. I miss Hall. Im not a big Evan fan. I think hes doing an OK job, and I dont think its his fault we have kinda fell downwards. the other programs are just stepping it up, we knew they would
But I think hall did a better job at recruiting, managing the teams, and winning
We will see though.

I definitely agree - Hall created and sustained a winning culture that was unfortunately destroyed by the pandemic. That 2020 team could have been a national champion team (Martin/Napoleon, Scoles/Hanneman, Van Sickle/Ozee!?!?!). Not sure where or what he is up to these days but I hope he and his family is doing well. And yeah - Evan's getting some flack but he is doing a good job rehabing the culture and reshaping the program. It probably was not an easy transition for him ESPECIALLY post-COVID season. I feel like he just wanted to be an assistant forever and was just forced to man the program. You gotta give him credit because other programs who lost great coaches (like Pepperdine lol) completely derailed. How I miss the Sandbows playing the Waves in the NCAAs!

Are you delusional, Hawaii will fall further behind Cal Poly and LBSU, as long as Evan remains the Head Coach. I am starting to believe Craig Angelos (Hawaii Athletic Director) is the type who does not have the guts to FIRE Head Coaches, no matter how bad a Hawaii Team is performing. All you have to look at is the Hawaii Soccer Team, never making the BWC Tournament, Hawaii Men's Basketball Team, only once winning the BWC, all the other times getting losing in the First BWC Tournament match, Hawaii Beach Team, struggle to win the BWC, if they do by luck, get bounced in the First round of the NCAA Tournament. Not only get bounced but get humiliated. Hawaii should be the dominating team in the BWC, in these sports. Craig Angelos get some guts and start FIRING Head Coaches, when their respective teams are not at the Top of the BWC.
