Also if you wanted to watch there's usually full game videos of the game posted on YouTube about a day or so after the game happens.shrek2 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 29, 2019 2:56 pmThanks.CP3GUY wrote: ↑Sun Sep 29, 2019 1:21 pmI got to watch bits and pieces of the game, and Hawaii definitely looked a little fatigued.

Let’s hope that the Wahine can turn these two previous matches into anomalies.

Re: Wahine volleyball back in the top 25
Tough weekend with the loss on Fri night. Good bounceback on Sat. Hopefully van Sickle and Rasmussen can come back soon.
Re: Wahine volleyball back in the top 25
Glad that Robyn and team found a way to win on Saturday. But what a struggle against a bottom feeder. Need to up their level against the top two teams in the BWC on the road next. We'll see how much depth the Wahine have when thrust into the limelight.

Re: Wahine volleyball back in the top 25
Although they dropped to 19th in the rankings, they debuted in the first RPI rankings of the season at 14. Remember, Jolie Rasmussen has been out since the West Virginia game, and Brooke Van Sickle got injured in Friday's game and didn't play at all in Saturday's game. Those are two upperclassmen leaders for this team, which is forcing underclassmen (mainly freshmen) to be put into these situations to be lead hitters. Experience that will pay dividends for a relatively young team. I'm sure they'll right the ship starting with this week's upcoming games.

Re: Wahine volleyball back in the top 25
The Cal Poly game was the first game I saw in full and it looked like Hawaii was not as physical as Cal Poly. My suspicion is that Hawaii will drop out of the top 25 come next week. Iosia seems like the only consistent hard server on the team.

Re: Wahine volleyball back in the top 25
Without Rasmussen and van Sickle, they are not a top 25 team.
Re: Wahine volleyball back in the top 25
This season has spiraled out of control.
It reminds me of the basketball team that beat Indiana and Kansas when AC and Alika were seniors than started poorly in the WAC. That team gave itself a fighting chance to go to the NCAAs. Let's hope this team can do the same.

Re: Wahine volleyball back in the top 25
The Wahine have to find a new identity without the services of Rasmussen and Van Sickle.

Good bounce back sweep on the road on the second of a back-to-back against UCSB, who came into the game with the 2nd highest rated rpi at 35.

Re: Wahine volleyball back in the top 25
Last night was the first night of watching Wahine volleyball against Riverside. They looked like athletes but the closeups by Spectrum, you can see the youth in their eyes. Always liked Iosia but Hanna Hellvig looks like an athlete.

Against UCD, Van Sickle was amazing. For someone 5'9, she hits like an animal. There's some speed on her spikes.

Re: Wahine volleyball back in the top 25
Okay, van Sickle has the genes. Looking at her background mom, dad and aunt played the game. No wonder she can climb the ladder to play tall.
