Wahine defeat St. Mary's in four

Post by kolohekeiki »

It was more of a struggle tonight, but the Wahine were able to hold on and defeat St. Mary's in four sets, 25-20, 22-25, 25-19, 25-19.

Redshirt freshman Jade Vorster impressed tonight with 12 kills without an error and picked up six blocks. The Wahine opened up strong in the first set, but the passing woes caught up in the Wahine and they dropped the second set to St. Mary's. The Wahine came back in the third set, where Mita Uiato got her middles more involved and that's where Vorster and sophomore Kalei Adolpho got Hawai`i some much needed offense out of the middle to relieve outside hitters Jane Croson and Emily Hartong.

Emily Hartong picked up 17 kills to lead the Wahine and also picked up 13 digs and six blocks, three of them solo. St. Mary's was able to slow Hartong down a bit tonight, but that's where Vorster and Adolpho was able to pick up the slack.

Both middles, Vorster and Adolpho combined for 21 kills without an error. Jane Croson picked up 14 kills and 10 digs and added three blocks and an ace, while Mita Uiato who overcame a shaky start to finish with 41 assists, 18 digs and four blocks. Emily Maeda came off the bench as a defensive specialist for our rightside attack and in doing so, picked up 10 digs. Alyssa Longo continued to steady out the backrow by picking up seven digs and two aces.

With the win the Wahine improve to 2-0 on the season and they will face sixth rank Stanford tomorrow for the tournament championship.
