10-30 check-in, Top 25, Big West scores, Shoji book signing
Red-eye flight got in around 730 Thursday morning, after landing the flight attendant went through the usual disembark chatter then said, And we wish the UH women’s volleyball team good luck with their games this week. Nice applause throughout the cabin.
Team is staying in Fullerton, will commute down to Irvine for Friday’s match, return to Fullerton after the match, and then leave for LAX Sunday morning.

Colorado State and BYU are so over rated.
BYU has great terminators, but they were better last season, their other outside besides Hamson/Gray is just not very good and they have major setting issues.
Don’t know if someone already mentioned; Hawaii v. UCI to be streamed live on ESPN3 ( http://espn.go.com/watchespn/index#type/upcoming/sport/volleyball/ ) 4 pm HT.
thanks, heluhelu, i’ll be tuning in.
as for uc irvine, without bubica, i’m not sure uc irvine has it in them. even with bubica playing, it sounds like she may not be 100%. i mean, we all saw her in honolulu with a heavy knee brace. she wasn’t 100% then, and she was an effective hitter for them, until hawaii was able to slow/shut her down at the end of the match in their comeback in the 3rd set.
still though, this year’s hawaii team has been lackluster on the road.
No pre match discussions ?
cindy where is the blog for wahine @ irvine?
4. prematch discussion? ill give one. wahine should be ready. they are at full strength this time right?
there is a new thread up if you want to go over there
it’s up.
bubica is out. vs wahine armed with taylor, baby g, kahakai and even a new long.
Yes, Bubica is out. this will be her third match. believe it’s a stress fracture.
UH is sucking, so many serving errors
WTH this what I mean. How are you going to loose this set? How? OMG, UH are zombies out there.
No leader that can lead by example. A lot of clapping and talking but no action.
Hawaii gave too many points away… missing way too many float serves… Are you kidding me?
Hawaii needs to underarm serve
They do know UCI will keep tipping right? Or is shoji waiting to respond to that
Obviously, UC Irvine is taking advantage of scouting reports that Hawaii is not very good in defending tips. Why Hawaii can’t come up with a strategy to defend tips, I don’t know. It has been a season long problem.
