Big West BVB honors to Scoles-Homayun

By Cindy Luis on February 26, 2019

Don’t think this was a huge surprise. Ari Homayun and Julia Scoles played really well over the weekend, earning Big West Pairs Team of the week on Tuesday. Opposing coaches commented on Scoles’ physicality. As they say in VB, she hits a heavy ball. Scoles’ mother was here watching. Scoles is very athletic and is falling in love with beach. She told me that she still feels like a fish out of water as she continues to learn the game. […]

Friday checkin: MVB, BVB extra ICYMI

By Cindy Luis on February 22, 2019

Ran into former Warrior and Olympian Clay Stanley in Hawaii Kai today. Really good to see him. He was out with his family for dinner. _______ The Warriors are wrapping up their bye week with longer practices, more weight work, and split-squad practices rather than A vs. B. Interesting to chat with the players about seeing UCI, the last team they played last season, the team they beat in the Big West semifinal, and what should have been enough to […]

Beach volleyball: Queen’s is where it’s at

By Brian McInnis on February 22, 2019

Queen’s Beach will be the go-to spot for Hawaii beach volleyball for the foreseeable future. UH — which began what was then called sand volleyball in 2012 — played its first-ever home dual match at Queen’s, on the edge of Waikiki across from the Honolulu Zoo. Since the opening of the T.C. Ching Athletics Complex sand courts in 2015, the SandBows have split their time at home between their on-campus facility and the actual beach. The primary upside to Queen’s is it […]
