Much mahalos Cindy!
GO BOWS!
No introductions. Starting for UH: Williams, Castillo, Iosia, Granato, Liva, Gaskin, Akiu.
very well. lets go bows!
The graphics on the streaming aren’t updating with the scoring at all…it’s just 0, 0, 0.
Also, they say the UH Booster Club was allowed in, but there’s almost no one visible. 🙁
Oops, video link not working.
Hawaii running a modified 6-2. Ma’afala, who runs the middle better than Iosia, connects with LIva. Hawaii chasing, 12-10.
Iosia is playing all 6 rotations. Ma’afala coming into the back row.
4. works for me.
Williams serves into the net. K-State leads 15-14 at the TTO
at last a ‘natural’ lefty for na wahine.
Live stats now working
Iosia blocked, K-State up 21-18 on a 3-0 run. TO UH
4. you need to disable any ad blocking for it to work.
Wahine close to 22-21. TO Wildcats. Very impressed with Akiu’s defense and Liva’s play in the middle
After clicking on Cindy’s link, do you click on something else on the Big West screen? I tried clicking on LIVE NOW, but nothing happens. It says there is an error in playing the video.
Castillo aced. Wildcats serving for Set 1 at 24-21. TO UH
12. after getting the big west screen i just click play which says something about adblocker might affect playing of the video i think. so i disabled adblocking, clicked play and then it works.

hows is wahine really struggling despite having a better hitting percentage or supposedly?
Gaskin hits wide. K-State wins 25-21.
Just one set into the season it looks like we still haven’t solved the problem that’s plagued us the past couple of years… no dominating, go-to outside hitter who can be relied upon to put the ball down when the stakes are high. Granato hit only .111 and Castillo’s hitting errors down the stretch really hurt.
Ross in for Castillo in Set 2
Can you say bad rotation? Hawaii up 6-2. K-State on a 7-0 run takes a 9-6 lead. TO UH
Liva – hitting error
Granato – hitting error
Gaskin – hitting error
Granato – hitting error
Who is Iosia supposed to set??
7-0 KSU scoring streak.
19. thats not an excuse. robyn please sub.
Two kills by Granato and it’s 9-9. TO K-State.
Watching on Big West TV. Kinda junk. Not very exciting, only thing that makes it worth while is the announcer.
ata girl mckenna!
Another two kills by Granato and it’s 11-9. TO K-State
23. That’s the synched broadcast with 1420-AM
Now four straight kills by Granato. Still a streak hitter but gotta love the hot streaks. LOL.
come on norene we need that nasty serve of yours.
Maafala in the front?
Granato with the kill but she hit the net before ball landed, gives K-State a 23-22 lead. TO UH.
two bad calls have gone against Hawaii and the up ref also has let a couple of K-State sticky sets go.
Castillo fails to convert on two set points. ARRGGHH.
Granato hits long on K-State’s third set point. Wildcats win it 29-27.
smh
All those unforced errors late in sets are just giving it to kansas state, relying way too much on the left side hitters.
Where was Gaskin?
31. Also consider that kills by Castillo gave UH two set points and tied it twice.
Followed by a Castillo serving error and Granato hitting error. KSU takes set 2.
Too many unforced errors by veteran players.
I’m actually really concerned about the season already.
Maafala’s decision making towards the end…smh
#31 yup, and a crucial service error. #34 yup, wayyyy out too.
Just dont think they can afford maafala in the front row and hopefully they become more clutch late in sets they are right there in position to win and then error error it’s over.
the video can’t seem to keep score
35. Fair point but my concern is lack of consistency. Castillo puts us in position to win, can’t convert at the critical moment, then makes an error to put the opponent in position to win. Granato goes on a hot streak, then hits way long to give KSU the set. No one is perfect but for UH to be competitive with quality teams the veteran players have to be steadier. Consistent play has been a hallmark of good Wahine teams historically.
UH up 8-5. TO K-State. Haven’t seen Gaskin much since early in Set 2. She’s standing on the sideline with a jacket on
K-State up 19-16 TO UH
wahine need to pull this together. are they really supposed to be a mixed bag, if not, rabble?
K-State closing in on the sweep 23-17. TO UH
Maafala front row won’t work too many good tall outside hitters out there. Not a good showing.
Wildcats win 25-20.
well that does it. smh
The video quality was worse than the play of the Wahine. I hate to say it but it’s a relief that the match is over in less than two hours even though the Wahine lost. Now I can go to bed by midnight, California time. Hope that tomorrow the video quality will improve as well as the Wahine play.
Boy oh boy, could be a really long a season. No middle attack and streaky outside hitting.
Disappointing match. We didn’t look like a good volleyball team tonight. It appears last year’s limitations at outside hitter still exist and this year there’s no All-American middle to help compensate for those limitations. Moreover communication, execution and consistency were all lacking.
Of course it’s way too early to write this team off. They have time to figure things out and I’m hoping for a much better performance tomorrow.
video was spotty at the latter times. it was pitiful to watch.
This is going to be a long season. I was very unimpressed with coaching strategy. It almost appears that if you not a “local” you will be a bench warmer. I hate to be so negative but this match and the way she coached was hard to watch.
Ragged. Disappointing to be swept 0-3.
I think after this match, some things that are concerning is: miscommunication, how they get ahead and end up shooting themselves in the foot. execution, our hitters, we need hitters. i am still not convinced with Casey, was impressed with Liva, Granato seemed to have a slow night despite what the statistics say. I like Iosia as a hitter, she packs more heat when she hits than Casey does. Yes just the first game of the season, but I hope they fix them.
Frustrating to be swept like that…
Too bad. Hope they can cut down on their errors. Glad to see Castillo improve her hitting percentage. Liva seemed like a bright spot in the middle. Go Bows.
55. my thoughts exactly
Their outside hitters are tall,6 -4 and 6-3. Their middle blocker Williams is 6-4 and the other is 6-2.
It’s only the first match.
Video quality will be better Sunday since it will be the regular TV with Spectrum. And having the replay challenge system will make a difference. think the refs were wrong on a couple of calls that went against UH. Might have made a difference.
Agree it was very disjointed tonight. Hawaii will have its struggles with taller teams and they are using different passing formations.
Was impressed with Akiu and Liva. As stated earlier, Ma’afala’s connection with middles seems to be better than Iosia’s.
55. not sure I agree with that. Options were limited with a couple of players not 100 percent. Ross just got cleared to play, Howling still has an injured hand.
Good night. Be back tomorrow
hope to see a better match tomorrow. lets go bows!
