Talk about good problems to have. The Hawaii volleyball team displayed as balanced an attack as it has so far this young season in Sunday’s four-set defeat of previously unbeaten Denver in the Heineken Rainbow Wahine Invitational. With Sky Williams (10 kills, five blocks, tournament MVP) and Tiffany Westerberg (nine kills, .500 hitting) thriving in the middle to complement hitters Jolie Rasmussen, Brooke Van Sickle and Hanna Hellvig, UH had clean looks aplenty against the Pioneers.
