Arena doors didn’t open until 4:08pm. Lines our to the parking ramp at 4:30pm. They finally opened more doors. HUGE Crowd tonight!!
Typical UH incompetence. Big event. Gates open late. No guides outside to help direct traffic. Why do we pay Sheriff money to manage arena?
2…and look who the R2 is tonight: Ernie ho…get ready for a wild ride…
1-2. Agree about the poor planning
Sheriff has nothing to do with traffic.
now the gate issues not sure where that lies.
Rough start for Wahine’s, Davies came to play.
Wah wah wah
Car traffic getting into arena is not the issue. Crowd was lined up into parking lots. This is a manager issue. This is a crybaby issue. This is to point out shortcomings on arena management. Hama are you at game? Did you have to wait1/2 to get in?
Could use better passing. #1 priority is to pass the ball.
Oh no, IT’S refereeing our game again. When the game is on the line, watch all our correct challenges be for nothing.
Forget having 5 attackers, passing the ball is more important. 3 attackers are enough, as long as the passing is on point.
7. my apologies. misread your comment. thought you were discussing traffic backed up.
Ahhh lets go ladies! Lets find a way to put down balls and get kills!
Our serving specialists aren’t special tonight.
Hate to say it but Davies looking for a sweep, and it may happen. Hawaii has no fight in them, and no one on the floor to fire them up. The way its going if Hawaii wants a W they going have to go 5.
what is wrong na wahine? never mind injuries, they look depleted of strength. lets go bows!
Perhaps bringing back a team psychologist would help. Hopefully, the backcourt comes around.
Hoping they can at least show some fight and determination; this is a huge night for the program and to be playing with no emotion really sucks! Sad sad sad Wahine!
Has anyone seen the real Wahine? If so please let them know there’s a match at the SSC tonight. However they need to arrive soon or they’ll miss it.
well the gal from battleground is back to bring the battle. lets go bows!
18 One real Wahine injured and the other Wahine can play but don’t look like she going get in.
The rest out cruising some place . Lets hope they show up,and ready to go 5.
Van Sickle in. I wonder if she can make a difference? The current version of the Wahine is a very average team.
Bless her heart, BVS providing solid passing.
Why is RAM is quick to pull certain players out but leaves Ross in even after making repeated errors
This is hard to watch!!!
Davis is earning their points, better than their record indicates. But the tide is turning.
wahine time to ignite. lets go bows!
WOO HOO, seems like we got into a rhythm, lets do it again ladies! Gottah fight hard for this one!
That was an in-your-face block by Skylar. Feel the Wahine confidence coming back,
BVS should have started from set one, i think it would have made a difference.
28. or at least set 2. dunno what robyn was doing.
LETS GO WAHINE!!! Keep the ball rolling, lets win this in the 5th!
Passing going south, need the good hands peeps in backcourt.
Davis targeting MR on serve.
The R1 even had the gall to card UH for delay! Get these refs outta here!!!
Way to go wahine.
Wahine give new meaning to “cardiac kids”.
The real Wahine arrived in the nick of time! Wohoo!
Seriously, having Van Sickle back in the lineup made a huge difference. The team seemed a lot steadier and more confident with her on the court. Hopefully she stays healthy for the rest of the season.
My comments arent posting.
Ok wait now its working. So like I was trying to say,
That was definitely a delay of game and deserved yellow card. UH knows they cannot challenge this and its a judgement call, and choy did look like she jumped and was above the net.
Brooke saved us. Thank god for her.
Also who is the girl on the team. The one with down sydrome. She is absolutely adorable and is always there cheering the girls on.
Great comeback! Thank you ladies for pulling it out. It would have been a huge emotional disappointment if we would have lost on this particular 25th anniversary evening. Really like the fact that RAM said in post match interview that she said nothing to the team during the intermission except those things that needed adjustment. She gave ownership back to the team and the team responded. They even look like they were having fun. Like the adjustment of taking Hellvig out of the backcourt for the last 3 sets and let her focus just on hitting and blocking in front court. Hanna responded really well. People will be talking about this match on the 50th anniversary.
36 and 38. brooke surely save na wahine okole. she brought the battleground back on na wahine side and turned the tide.
39. hanna seemed depleted in the back row. good thing robyn dedicated her focus to more up front, that helped her alot.
BVS turned the match around. Hellvig came back strong in the last few games and was a big part of the win. Ross finally (imho) starting hitting smarter, and it was disappointing not seeing her tooling the block as much as she could have in the earlier sets.
Couple of players need to get over themselves and play at the level they can play.
BVS played at AA level. Imho, this team needs to find their identity, which they seem to be on their way to doing, especially when they are playing with energy and having fun.
Hope rehab for BVS and JR is going well. Coaches must always make their player’s welfare a top priority and they need to communicate their expectations. And that communication works both ways, coaches to players, players to coaches.
38. The yellow card was probably deserved, but the protest that led to it was deserved as well. Choy was back row setter in the front row when a shot came her way. She didn’t jump, and had her hands up in front of her face. The ball was hit hard at her and she guarded her face with the smarts to position her hands so that the ball bounced back across the net. It was a bang bang play. A legal play, back row player in the front row not jumping and guarding their face. The Up Ref didn’t see it or didn’t believe it. Choy demonstrated for the refs that flat footed with her hands reaching straight up that her hands don’t get above the net. No matter, the Up Ref was determined.
I have to give major kudos to Norene Iosia. When we say the top two players are not playing we are not acknowledging her contributions to all aspects of the game.
43 – yes, a good Hawaii nominee for BW POW.
I was at the game tonight. The first two sets were hard to watch. They looked confused and no energy. When BVS was announced that she was starting set 3, a huge cheer came from the crowd! Her being on the court made a HUUUUUGE difference!! She definitely was the MVP tonight!
42. Based on the replay, Choy’s feet did leave the floor.
45. Agreed. BVS according to CMac(announcer) contributed defense and offense. But, IMHO, she contributed more than that. Her presence produced a spark. She was the lift the Wahine needed to get their mojo working. She juiced up their adrenaline and created incentive, motivation and drive when they were faltering. You cannot coach motivation. You can only have it or be doomed from the lack of it. Thank you BVS for your motivational presence!!! GO BOWS!!!
Did anyone ask RAM why she waited until game 3 to put BVS in?
Hawaii needs to have at least two of the three (Hellvig, BVS, or Rasmussen) on the court. With only one, Hawaii will continue to struggle, but with at least two, the offense becomes less predictable and more steady.
46. You’re right, just watched the DVR, and Choy did leave her feet on that ‘controversial’ call in the fifth. At least a few inches. Up Ref got it right. Apparently Choy didn’t realize what she did, or she was pitching hokum. It drew in her coaches and resulted in the yellow card. The next play, UC Davis had a service error. So the back and forth took some time, amped the crowed, and chilled the server. Sometimes, it pays to argue a bit over close calls. It can steal back a little momentum, if not pushed too far.
47.
Brooke only practiced once. She didn’t think she would need Brooke. She thought her team could do it. Obviously we needed her and I’m glad Robyn did put her in. But it wouldn’t have looked good if she put in a player who didn’t practice over a player that did
thought Wagoner played well tonight also. I know her offense is a work in progress. She passed very well tonight.

New thread up with RPI and poll
couple of comments
Up ref flown in form mainland.
Think the yellow card was deserved for delay of game.
I didn’t think Choy had left her feet since she is aware she is a back-row player. I didn’t see the replay so guess I’m wrong.
Van Sickle didn’t practice until Thursday. She isn’t totally healthy and they don’t wont’ to risk further aggravating it.
Hellvig struggled on the left. She went 8-0-12 in Sets 4-5 when hitting mostly right.
With Van Sickle in, that meant Westerberg was out.
