Someone needs to ask Victoria Prince if this year's Wahine team reminds her of the 2004 team. The 2004 team was supposed to be a rebuilding year, after losing Outstanding players like Kim Willoughby, Lily Kahumoku, and Maja Gustin to graduation. On paper that 2004 team did not scare any opposing team. Like that 2004 Wahine Team, this year's Wahine Team entered the season as a rebuilding team, after losing players like Amber Igiede, Kennedi Evans, and Riley Wagoner. This year's Wahine Team also, on paper, would not scare opposing teams. Both the 2004 Wahine Team and this year's Wahine Team also played a lot of 4 and 5 set matches. What made the 2004 Wahine Team outstanding, without any really outstanding players, was that they played as a unit, with outstanding floor defense. This also seems to be the makeup of this year's Wahine Team. If this year's Wahine Team continue to play this way, they will surprise a lot of people, even myself, and go a long way.

Big West honors Alexander, Lang and Sylvester for weekly awards! That's awesome! Well deserved!

Tayli has been very good this year. Her and Victoria together make a great pair of defenders. There's not many teams that will out-defense Hawai'i. +Tali Dig Sgt Hakas

There you go again. Put them on a pedestal by drawing comparisons to 2004 so that the next time they lose a match you can disparage all the student athletes and ask for the coaches heads on a platter.

Win or lose in these weekend matches, I get the sense that these Wahine will put on a show....after set 1 that is :-). If you don't suffer from heart disease, this is a fun team to watch. Never a dull match that's for sure.

RPI WEEK 3 48. (46) Long Beach State 78. (48) UNLV 87. (102) Cal Poly 102. (59) Hawaii It's not RPI, it's RPI futures based on PABLO and not accurate at all. The real RPI doesn't come out until later in the season.

RPI WEEK 3 48. (46) Long Beach State 78. (48) UNLV 87. (102) Cal Poly 102. (59) Hawaii Im SHOCKED our RPI is that low. granted, teams like San Diego, pepperdine etc are way better than their record indicates. Things should balance out by conference schedule where pepperdine, and san diego, texas state etc start to win more. Edit realized this is futures. Yeah we should do well going 2-1 on the weekend will be KEY

Hawaii really needs steady pin and middle transfers for next season. Jacyn has had so much time to develop, she was outshined by a freshman.
Stella not bringing a whole lot with her deep negative hitting
