Taylor update, UH No. 2 seed in Sand Nationals

Start with Taylor first. She is seeing doctor late this afternoon so likely no word until Tuesday other than ‘cleared to play) per HIPA regs.

Hall said they don’t need to use her Saturday in the Aloha Invitational but likely have to in order to comply with how the pairs are run at next week’s AVCA nationals. Rules that govern that specify you can only move a player up or down 1 spot and they need to re-establish her as part of the No. 1 pair with Tiegs.
