Stanford (7-1), Hawaii’s next opponent, stayed at No. 8. The Warriors and Cardinal meet Friday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 6 p.m. (UPDATE: corrected from 5 p.m.) at the Stan Sheriff Center.
Friday’s match is designated Military Night with active duty, reservists, and retirees as well as DOD workers receiving 50 percent off tickets with valid ID.
There is free admission for Sunday’s match for federal employees who were affected by the government shutdown. Employees must show a valid government ID at the arena box office to receive up to four tickets as well as vouchers for a free hot dog and soda.
Sundayʻs game is at 6 pm, due to some football game. 😀
Hi Cindy. My old eyes may be doing tricks on me, but I swear I see Sunday’s game listed online with a start time of 6:00 pm, including season ticket printed with 6:00 pm game time.
I say that Barton and LBS are guarantees, think that Penn St will be in too (even if the EIVA tourney is at Mason).
It wouldn’t surprise me if Loyola Chicago wins the MIVA regular season which will move them up in the Polls–top 5 imo. They could then lose their end-of-season tourney to end up with an at-large w another automatic from the midwest.
That leaves two spots left … the winner of the MPSF and ONE at-large from the Big West.
“Grow the Game!” ‘-)
Thanks all. so used to it being at 5 p.m.
3. Polls don’t matter. It will be RPI, although being No. 1 in the RPI didn’t help Hawaii last season
Think it’s way too early to predict the winners of the conferences.
The only way around I see, Robyn and da Wahine’s S2 sit, is to do something like recruit Ari (from BVB) on to the indoor’s team for one year at back-up. Norene you’d have to believe will be good to go. Hope that she stays healthy all year long.
As ironic as having no setting recruit want to train under a 3x Olympic setter is the fact that UH is almost certainly going to end up w a sort of sour-type; it is sooo late in the game. Casteneda’s open scholie maybe SHOULD be reserved for a third setter in 2020.
Hey Cindy, just wondering if the Wahine are having any spring matches this year?
Excited for the Warriors game against Stanford, the Cardinal’s first road matches and they are tough regardless
#5 – if someone is on a BVB scholarship, they can’t play indoor.
In VB there are shaggers, some do a really fine job, they basically collect all of the balls around the court as they go wayward.
Can someone- freaks of the 808- please comment on what the Hwn slang word “garut (ga rrroot)” means? Thx.
^Ur a bit mistaken, tho. The girl’s name is Ari Homayun.
5. I think they want another setter for 2019. it would be difficult to bring someone in cold in 2020, IMHO. Plus they need a second setter to run the ‘B’ in practice and in case there is an injury.
6. they are working on spring match. not sure who.
9. I heard possibly Colrorado St. and another team
Sorry for going way off topic but I am watching #14 Utah who upset Stanford last week battle #4 Oregon. Even though Utah is down, Megan Huff is on FIRE! She already has 17 pts and hit 3 or 4 3pointers already. She will be in the WNBA IMO…Megan was the Pac 12 Player of the Week. recently.
So happy for Megan Huff
Oops Colorado St..
There is a spring game. It isn’t Colorado State.
but nothing official until contracts signed.
new thread up for Friday
