Here are clips of the Q&A from the team press conference. Coach Charlie Wade was asked a couple of misconduct investigation questions before the moderator stepped in with a “next question, please.”

A couple more photos from the Pyramid:
Former Wahine setter Kendra Koelsch also dropped into practice. She just finished her one season with The Beach beach team and is finishing her degree in sports management. Helping out with a junior club along with Gus Tuaniga, Alex Griffiths and Emily Hartong.
Go Warriors!
Would have been just as great if Wade quipped, “oh, let’s discuss that Avengers: Endgame if you wanna talk fictions.” 🤗
Any link yet for the MAIN Hawaii game tomorrow, Cindy?

Nice to see Kendra doing well. And Emily too. Hope she stops by to visit the Wahine sometime this coming season.
I think the Men’s VB will have a tough match v Lewis. They seem to be able to match-up against the Bows. Hope Kendra and Emily will be at the match cheering for the Bows.
