#18 Rainbow Wahine Vs Utah Valley

season average of 261 she's lighting up nice-lookin seeing there as well by came down 62 sophomore from Temecula California made nine starts as a true freshman last year the numbers versus UCLA last night a little anemic for Utah Valley as you'd expect UCLA is once again huge they are skilled and of course away as a scheduled showdown with the Bruins tomorrow night a touch over there by IG deep right side it's downs her touch diving save there by McKenna Ross sent across by Helbig here come the Wolverines tie defeat they blazed into it she's starting to warm up now and up to the tips in the Royal shop she's just bringing up it with heavy armor three time all state selection at Pleasant Grove High School has family connections to BYU and so it was a bit of a coup I think for Sam Mazzola to be able to lure her to Elam Utah as opposed to Provo Wolverines on the attack that may be the right idea there the execution just not on the level is all the way back up a half dozen house coach otto about his guests of getting dark BTN christensen he said yeah we kind of we're proud of the recruiting job we did on them because it's really tough to recruit against big BYU the blue and white got a feet the good dig thereby healthy played off the net biosea two-handed across by Ross Wolverines on the attack right side it's downs tried to go a little bit of that looming block making an impact there and altering that shot so to speak it was definitely a block Boyden shot for sure as you see Kristen Allred six to junior from natal Mapleton Utah out on the floor it'll set you to believe aha the touch shot sniffed out there by Van Sickle IgD in the middle Wolverines play it back I defeat theof the date and that would touch the Teraflex good effort by Van Sickle and she came up empty surprised that's how fifties pulling off the roll shots as much as she is she's sensing I think the boy is playing on a wide perimeter deep defense that she should have draw them in for sure about a fifty with five kills in 571 that you told Valley causes that one tickled the tape and fell down for an ace for Jasmine you to prove Ahuh help lead Kahuku to three state tournament appearances in her prep days - went back to back on the aces there but it will be returned big advantage here for the Wolverines tot opt trying to touch a deep and just put a little too much mustard on it there's only one block up I'm not sure why she chipped that ball a big hammer cross-court I think would have resulted in the kill what yup 1913 here in the first what do you make of what we're seeing from the rainbow wahine here so far to start this match well first of all we refreshing to see a better start just any kind of fresh start more enthusiasm and getting more points to the board for the other team it's out of 50 tribes I'll rear back a little bit more on that one but sky Williams right next to Riley Wagner said oh and a timeout taken by the Wolverines big block party at the stand welcome back come visit our new spectrum store at Ala Moana located at street level near shirokiya open Monday through Saturday 9:00 to 9:00 Sundays 10:00 to 7:00 hope to see you there soon what up seven here out of the time out set number one much more positive start for the rainbow wahine as opposed to how things got going against West Virginia last night they retire with the serve right side set goes to Kayleigh downs she's blocked back now cross foot bump set tie defeat T the roll shot two-handed in the air by choice o the bump set by Williams to Van Sickle getting that one up was warble thought a feat a locker on leg makes it work plugs it through that double block [Music] you know somebody shots I didn't see that one or practice that the other day but you see that shot last night feels like a step out maneuver she's doing take it take it off on one leg like he's doing a basketball lay out your the middle set to Williams popped up in the air by the Libero Merrill thought if he'll get a swing out of it but she's gone next to Williams [Applause] so impressive how aunt Jill can get chris has this team blocking they just block the Sun will form rarely is there a hole or seam in the black slide big smooth ice ad Hansen but she sends it long what he up eight significant breathing room here for the rainbow wahine and this first stanza well there's this vide blocks this early on the hitters we're starting to cut that block in their head there he knows it avoidance attacks out of feet team that's that by how apt most certainly the most prolific and most effective hitter so far here number seven don't set her before she even enters the arena [Applause] he's passed by healthy allows Williams to get the set in the middle but couldn't put it down outside that's Kristensen good saved by healthy joy with joy says goes to Ross on the outside the dig there by Merrill right side the cross-court swim by child's the up by Choi pump set Wagner to Van Sickle the date with anticipation thereby child's to hand it over by toddle feet T so Hawaii on the attack right side bat sickle the swing through the fingertips of the block right there was Merrill again now Christensen down the line and really snag that time by Utah Valley nice patients by Utah Valley that time waiting for the right set at the right time listen take a good swing Kansas it really hit 100 get some tell Valley back to flatlining it they wearing negative numbers Rick Van Sickle continues to roll that's her second kill coming up with that 14 kill performance and evening the go and Hawaii creeping closer here in set one way all around show she put on last night every skill of the game she was pretty much perfect and you called it - you called her the MVP of the game the player of the game and we were still like in set to use helvey tried to blast it through the hands of the block come off the net Christensen will roll it Choi there with the dig bump set goes to McKenna Ross Rossi is blocked little set williams packs it over him balled around and returned free chance here for the Bose Choi right side Helbig top ten Road good combination there by Hansen and Christensen a solid block by Hansen or hands across the penetration at their first block of the neck first hitting error of the evening as well for Hannah healthy Kenna Ross touched it to that deep side the little ping-pong battle at the net then Christiansen hammers it off the bracket out Plusle plays on both sides of twine two-for-one run here means showing some life largest leaves with rainbow wahine was eight then sickle horses the overpass and that's placed down by Christensen and so Robin amo forward here sitting on the number 23 signals for a timeout but we were lauding this team's more positive start here to this point but now we're starting to see a little bit of the leaking of the oil again sputtering going on right now first thing rapid I'm Oh did when the players came over to the huddle was hello their arms out to the passing formation show them what a good platform should look like she wants them to make a good first contact that's what's got him in trouble last couple points take a look at tonight's Jack fact well we have a little break in the action the jack fact battling of the Beehive State Hawaii is a combined 76 and 17 versus teams from the state of Utah you see the record against BYU Utah Utah State Utah Valley and Weber State this is the third all-time meeting last meeting was in 2016 in this tournament what you winning that one by way of a sweep was send it over to Ryan hey thanks Kunal well coach at all right now talking to his team specifically about trying to continue to connect with the meadows he said our middles may be undersized but we are Paiste when it goes up against Hawaii's middle blocker so he wants to continue to run those middle attackers and really exploit Hawaii's vidoes he's also saying we have to do a better job of handling cause he's saying that why he's giving us a lot of free ball opportunities we have to be aggressive and continue to sweetheart it's also our side on the net we have to be much more aggressive back over to you guys this little burst by Utah Valley may be as important if not more important looking ahead to set number two as opposed to even what is transpiring here and said no exactly their game momentum right now and he did tell us before the game he said we were trying to set the mill as much as we can to take some heat off Connor 15 narrow with the serve again Van Sickle could not put the pass on the money and it results in a free opportunity for the Wolverines right side that's child's gets it down and immediately rabbit on though looks to Rica okey know the Libero to take the floor and see if they serve a few officials cold throughout the bench will they serve her getting a little close for comfort here did server should put pretty good pass and LV gay they rip it off the hands about that Rico volcanoes sitting on the sidelines gets the number fold immediately the sir comes her way and she sticks the Pats a great play by Rica Monty graduate that's the kind of highest GPA on the team I think I think I read that somewhere like 3/8 or something civil engineering major similar to your GPA though Aloha ball here in the first for Hawaii will you make that IgE got a piece of that ball on the Utah Valley side a little rip it off the block and down Utah Valley made it much more interesting than it initially appeared let you go able to finish the deal in set number one they strike first here on night 2 of the outriggers Rainbow Wahine volleyball challenge [Music] this presentation of Rainbow Wahine volleyball is sponsored by and Hawaii haunted as expected Tata PT they go to target offensively for Utah Valley and she obliged in one smack made for errors back in blackboard [Applause] on a helmet five kills one error hitting 444 she's off to a really quick start hitting high and hard and in the end it's Hawaii taking set 1 25 20 so a much better start for the home team than what we saw against West Virginia but we did see a sign of life from Utah Valley down the homestretch of that first frame we'll see if they keep it that here as we head into the second step looks like Robin I'm going to go with the same lineup well let's check out the first Hawaiian Bank top three shall we Hawaii single-season blocks that it is per set Heather Bowen in 1999 is top of the stack II of Angelica inquest associate coach at the number three position and of course the late and tremendous Cecilia Goods Cecilia Goods Fernandez as she came to be known who passed away last year after eight long and arduous bout with lung cancer certainly want to once again send our best out to her family but she will live on her legacy certainly on this campus as one of the great middles for the Rainbow Wahine volleyball program will be long remembered for sure those are three amazing people amazing blockers amazing athletes I'm glad we have that for first one top three because it could be more appropriate on a year where Hawaii's block is so important first set white with four blocks already you last year the same thing they had like a block and a half and yet now now they're disappointed they don't have at least three or four blocks at each step and it has become in many ways a great equalizer for Hawaii it has cleaned up or at least covered up some other deficiencies at least at times and stretches throughout some of these early season matches exactly the covered up logo their youth it's covering up the absence of a guy and a girl like and Joey Rasmussen is not with us tonight but she's rehabbing pine away set goes to town opt dug up by yo SIA so bump set goes to healthy from off the net try to roll it over the block Wolverines go to the middle that's hampson with the swing block back Tata Fiji again the deep touched up by igt flat-footed Wagner slaps it over Utah Valley goes right side this time that's down stood up there by Wagner the big swing by Makino loss results in the first kind of set to well link to my Ronnie Wagner played during that rally get a great pump set right there at the beginning of the rally and at the end of the rally she ends up making a terrific big rally alive and of course Ross does what holy Ross can do it's at Hardin high served their binary neo sia that a 50 with the arch on swing dug up on Sweeney's by Van Sickle and then punched over so Wolverines on the attack marrow a bump sets tie defeat T tried to go over the double block dug up over the net by Wagner and then pumped down and by Sadie Hansen the 6-foot sophomore in Poway California City hampson can have her own backyard volleyball you know you wear that six siblings they can have a subsidy together with a barrel that's right by Gd in the middle dropped back with anticipation thereby new to behind company and then the dig there by Wardle another swing for it's out of feet he tried to go line misty-eyed tried to sell the call little bits and put the no avail man Hawaii gets the point [Music] mom said she was going to get a lot of opportunities and already got a feat see with 18 attempts here's okie know with the serve the right side has downs block is up and then IG the priests hang the hammer [Applause] we drop her mole did not go with a whole lot of changes I think that was reward to the team that played well this first set so you know and the other sets were said that where they dropped the first set she was immediately going to the bank looking for energy and ten kills three blocks in 138 last night against UCLA by the way if you're wondering the Bruins pulling off another sweep against West Virginia here earlier this evening they took down the Mountaineers in that first set 25 to 9 it was much closer than the credit West Virginia in the third between 27 25 there but the Bruins look awfully good here see Mac into 2019 blasted by Texas and Baylor the first two matches in here they're looking awfully good you had an injury to their top center the third point of the year so they've been scrambling to have run with six two system the two centers now nickel bump sets Rossi and it was punched back over so Hawaii once again offensive goes to [Applause] never IgD had a season-high 14 kills last night as well half dozen blocks hit a fat 458 one of things Robin are most said about the connection from yoshiya in a GT she said it's got better and better every night [Applause] yeah it's been cool to see as healthy goes into this line the relationship blossom in between each setter and their associate middle if you will right whether it's Westerberg out there or Williams and Choi and in this case you'll see a ni ji:d Cassie point IG he goes slide off the log for another rainbow loses here become one more version not just hit balls and through the center and have that behind the center booth by JD out Williams in Yossi as well to the bench and Bailey Choi taking over in the back row at the setter position six serving three here in set number two pump set goes outside the Christian sing which block back the diving save Tata feet T to keep it going Wagner now who the SU tried to go line like a fan there and the point for the Mountaineer or for the Wolverines I should say [Applause] [Music] [Applause] waha the servo toy did everything she could just to not let that hit the Teraflex freeball opportunity here for the Wolverines that go middle that's Hansen that caught a piece [Applause] one of the rainbow wahine a fella get right back in mix here down just a peg I'm saying with a sharp sharp in the middle right now outside Van Sickle she tried to take the line she missed it wide and we are tied here in set number two after a three old Wolverine line once again these are the self-inflicted wounds that rock on a bowl does not like to see joy was tying away to Van Sickle pounds it off of the hands Utah Valley the other way the tough shot by Hansen is back denied our dinners keep the ball in play because the block is so good right now he's okay even if you just hit one high off the hands they try to run a transition play we have a pretty good chance of blocking for the point as opposed to having a kill for the point already the fourth block for sky Williams Christensen [Applause] it's all Valley put lips strong fight here in the second set this pub said ball spinning in the right direction easy for hitter good chase down there by the setter jasa food Stratton transfer from Utah State originally these ladies punches at 1:00 and Utah Valley frogs ahead here in the second except by Troy rare that location root low for what Scott Williams likes crowd getting a little antsy Choi mr. chase down the set goes outside to us and she says it won't and so the hitting errors starting to pile up for what you trailing by two and [Applause] frustration seven years right Utah Valley with 15 hitting in helping from the back row dug up there by Tata feet T she'll get the high ball set from the back row block out a piece so Wagner pump sets Van Sickle and she kills the wrong Valley players want to say that that was in and so I think we may see a challenge here from sama thought they were adamantly requesting for their head coach to challenge that in out call he promptly grabs the challenge card and in phones ernie ho that he indeed needs to take another look at that thing a 6-1 run for each all valley as it currently stands and we'll see what ernie ho has to say he is the official on the floor mainly the art one mark Nakashima randy rubin all the two line judges I mean it was all six Wolverine players who have called for that one to be challenged you take a look it does look pretty close like a little more green than white the knowledge [Music] really hard to chill from here that might know much more white than night and that one looks like it caught the way still figure another one looks like it's more white than green I'm calling that in scenic I am - I'm with you [Music] good effort there on that outside pan that was Bailey Christensen getting the gist of that block like Tata feety she prepped at Pleasant Grove High School a Utah power on the volleyball court Ernie Howe taking a lot of looks at this thing and the longer the process takes the more uncertainty this starts to leak in right like which way is this thing gonna go exactly you know what's taking a while when the arena has already gone through the jeopardy music loop now they're onto like a whole other play list altogether and people are going out for garlic fries I could smell it from here oh can you that looks pretty straightforward right there I would suggest her Nijo off with the headset I guess he calls it in and he's going to plug the old the original call the interesting [Music] [Applause] so hey he gets to the point you know what we had one of those last night - we're not wearing the light blue shirts [Music] [Applause] Joey trailing by one Van Sickle with the serve right side it's Christensen I'll be up there by Wagner so Choi back row said Van Sickle the dink easy pickins there for warble on the save my bunks that goes to downs by the double drop the Utah Valley will refer to that maybe has a little athletics justice they get the point and they're back on the deuce Katie dances for the players that coach out to us before the game that she could take a lot of pressure off ton of feet see if she just came up with a big game she's played pretty well right now shots like that Ross tried to slice it punched up by Don's thought of he T able to tip it over well what you coming back with enough and I'll make that Ross from off the net that's dug up in the air by marrow swing by Christensen knee up by Van Sickle here's lving on the outside and we're gonna violation against Utah Valley one of those sequences you started to feel like that one may last forever yeah [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] what are you hitting 1.5 here in this second set compared to 158 for Utah Valley hasn't been a ton of offense here is that Sylvain has got down great effort by Ward up just to keep it alive and then thought of he gets to the touch get that pointer warning she mailed me to play on that tape Yossi yeah of course kind of thing she does what I repeat she does mention some of the injuries that are font at Utah Valley here in the last year or so as Ross [Applause] or the one underwent ankle surgery is not yet to her 100% physical self and that's just one of several injuries that this team continues to attempt to play through makino with the sri y trailing by one middle set that's new to Tahoe the I'm back bump set aquino to Wagner the great layout safely chance here for Hawaii Tim to cash it in you'll see a hideaway wag here the dink for the Rainbow Wahine well Maddy mortal is given up her body she is all over the floor defensively nice tip shot by Wagner as I love that pancake pop up but notice the Wagner made a better choice that time keeping the ball in play rather than trying that fancy down the line shot which she chews up too much line downs IG be able to get the fingertips on it so healthy gets it on the opposite side that popped up in the air by Merrill and there's Wartell once again to Center it so Hawaii with the golden chance Wagner [Applause] to the hair Floyd Sidney's a pretty good ball control right now especially could a transition where there's a good deep point by IgD lock late to get out there and Wagner makes a painful banging out with a pair of kills hitting 143 to go along with five digs and she's been on a couple of blocks second on the team in digs and Riley Wagner coming into tonight tight opt first to reach double figures in put downs that's her tenth kill chickens powers of through shot Roger hit the senior she had a field goal Hill Eagles either way she's a very powerful arm so we're tied at 12 here's i GD in the middle speaking of powerful ones [Music] [Applause] she picks up pills number for hitting 400 lat ever free so far yet to make you their us pretty said another solid night back-to-back nights 13 serving 12 it's a defeat II rattled around but it finally dropped since she now has 11 kills and it just seems to be easing with confidence as this thing continues to roll along born in Auckland New Zealand dad Wayne coached the BYU rugby team to five national titles guess where he's coaching rugby now top L that's right if it's Kristensen is able to just smash it through the proposed block and Utah Valley or he claims the advantage thirdly change we've had here in set number two good high snap by Christmas in that time we'll have power there but she's a good job of using the block and that is a chancre and an ace tata bt doing a little bit of everything here for utah valley bail first a 15 timeout on the floor then Wolverines digging in here in set number two well tomorrow spectrum OC 16 sports brings you the best in interleague football match ups Waianae vs. Punahou melee money versus Kamehameha Kahuku versus st. Louis that's right it is a prep triple header starting live at 2 p.m. Utah Valley has come alive a little bit here in this second set up two out of the timeout amber IgD promptly she's to the floor she has five kills but why do you think Utah Valley's been able to gain some traction here in the second frame crucial about hitting Hawaii 282 to 31 as the first start playing better offense second lower signing out better 64% to Hawaii's 57% they're just playing just a little bit better volleyball with wine right now serve there by Bailey Choi set outside it's Christensen and she just goes through that whole long [Applause] [Music] choose a great another great recruiting get by Sam Latoya 2014 Utah 5a MVP the number one ace here in the state was 76 aces he somehow stolen from BYU that's right brother Dalton actually plays basketball at BYU [Applause] there's Williams live up to the net by mute appeal AHA and easy pickins [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] where she comes the serving specialist Kyra Kyra Hana Wahine a52 jr. one of the three transfers from Oregon when a graduate of Kamehameha kapalama and it's a good serve she sometimes the approach that's dug up by healthy choice outside to Ross she's knocking Ruth they were waiting for Dory has got rusev yeah absolutely getting out to the door he's made up for it they can pray block all by herself in the overpass I'm able to get down though his Hampson's over what you playing at back Van Sickle up a long leg the door is shut by Bailey Christensen and Utah Valley up three here in the second largest lead of this second stanza for the Wolverines [Music] get in the game with on-demand highlights of prep sporting events spectrum subscribers have exclusive access to spectrum sports enhance channels 13 and 10 13 it's as been an enhanced performance in this second set for Utah Valley leading by three out of the timeout McKenna Ross dug up there by Tata 52 the man says equally high jump is Brooke should be said mom leaps also played volleyball at Hawaii Pacific University great player and professionally in Argentina a good stock that VanSickle comes from above the blind bump set in Merrell two downs for the kill that was pretty special there from the Libero see Romero [Applause] what a difficult blind back bump set that is these tools nothing at the front laughter downs does the rest what sit down Christensen six aces on the season coming in lay out a system he'll vague through the block dug up by Christensen and it'll be smacked across but out but it too much there the palm of downs and so a freebie giving back to Hawaii as we head down the homestretch here in set number two he may have experienced lulz at times throughout this young season despite the seven and OH record it has been in some cases inexplicable that they found ways to come through that a fee T is blocked back she gets another crack at it off the block and down and that's kill number 12 for kazna Tata PT Smart Play the first one was didn't lock sometimes she worked the edges of the block very effectively she's one smart hitter 20 serving 17 i GT in the middle to set a little low and Kate saved there by Allred I want you back with it though right side it's Ross off the block and out that was another close one not quite as adamant a reaction to bat one being in by the Utah Valley players so the kill stands for Rossi but great effort there on the layout Kristin Allred who actually has a new last name her married last name is Belle but you see it in a number of different renditions when you go through the rosters and head coach Sam Latoya even say she's gone back and forth with it so maybe we'll just call her Kristen all right now as you see how big the lay into it for Hawaii really feel Ian I'm surprised I haven't got more sense right now she's gotten 16 sets out of Hawaii's and 70 but I expected that number should go up once you find a hot hitter though they really need the ball more and more just like Tony she's getting it for Neutron Valley right side that's downs right up there biosea so Keynote sets up Wagner cross-court and be up there again by Belle with no touch up front and we are tied at 20 and I will have a timeout signal by Sam Alto I know what was interesting was when Utah Valley was playing UCLA last night Toa did not use any of his timeouts the last two sets of that ultimately three set battle and we asked him what is that is that just kind of a strategic thing and he told us I think I just forgot let's check in with Ryan what's up hey thanks conneautville here in the Hawaii sideline hey coach Rob aníbal is happy just overwrought with her team's effort she said the energy is down and she is encouraging especially our hitters to be much more aggressive asking them straight up do you want to be in here do you want to swing at the ball she wants her hitters to go up there and swing hard she's also not pleased with the second ball contact ways right back defenders their setters are bringing a lot of balls right now which means the other set of the left backs that are coming Wagner as well as Brooklyn Cigar having to set a lot of all she said they have to do a better job of putting their hitters in better positions to hit the ball back over to you guys thanks a lot Ryan uhf Lennox's out to you online each week with updates and promotions through its H mail enewsletter to register visit Hawaii athletics comm click on the HTML button it's simple and it's free Louis turn the time Alec good good comments by Ryan shooting soo-ji but notice that Robin and Lowell they're doing a lot of blocking tips there so it's Angelica and Robin and Quayle Baxter obviously but probably give me a lot of blocking tips there never see her give so many blocking tips in one timeout what he hitting 225 in this second set compared to 216 for Utah Valley leading all hitters it is that woman right there it's how to Fiji with 12 kills what you would the serve it's Rico Aquino behind the line played up by Bell and it'll be two handed over by Tata Fiji free chance here for Hawaii helvi just wanted go after up the middle blocker was late and Helbig just ate it up you know why the middle blocker was late they are worried about amber i GD o GD held that mil blocker just for an instant enough for pelvic to complacency forth lead change here in this second set ton a 50 off the block rattled around and somehow I'll be able to return it tot opt again [Applause] pick up their second block and once again it's the rookie roofers with the tip freshman Helbig and IgD specifically was talking to healthy what to do with our heads but she's been a critic over the death I think riders gotta feel good about the way that healthy took her advice and it's now six total team blocks for the Rainbow Wahine in this match they had four in the first set so they've been a little quieter in that regard here and set number two but that has been the case this young season when they needed it most when they have needed a sport it seems to come in the form of that defense at the net speaking of defense that effort by the two freshmen just to keep a sequence alive and then they shut the door [Applause] by the Swede she's having a fun time if she really enjoyed being here in Hawaii and loves the girls loves of Cochise he's having the best time she's hoping to bring I think a couple of more of her friends from sweep over at some point during her four years I'm pretty sure very open to that idea playing without Joe Lee Rasmussen tonight remember injured her ankle last night we got confirmation today that it was indeed an ankle injury she is listed officially as doubtful but she when we spoke with her prior to the match was optimistic no fracture is really the only factual thing we have alternate ly to work off of as far as what Hawaii is announcing she does plan on being back for the sooner rather than later trying to fill the void and it is a felt vacancy make no mistake right now in this second set thanks to the Aquino aches suppose that he has served me tea she's normally very good Mouser ass tight to the net wound being sent me to believe that having said / sift out by okey no gears l big hands saved thereby rewarded it's not a feat T hard Angus / chance now for Hawaii on the advantage back row said Van Sickle dug up by Ward or Merrill centers it in a free ball coming for the bowls he'll be the first touch you'll see a step out I Jaden [Applause] I was some kind of transition play while looking much sharper there seven straight points ripped off by the Rainbow Wahine and they have a little ball here in the second round quiets on the serve high ball bump set goes to tie defeat II into the time [Applause] eight points of set number two to take it 25 to 20 so here on night two of the Outrigger Rainbow Wahine volleyball clan a challenge the Rainbow Wahine will have a chance to crack open the broom closet let's take a look at the McDonald's match a statistic CMAC Hawaii up two sets tonight biggest difference here is a look at the hitting errors utah valley with 19 the era's hawaii with only nine point nine 84 a great percentage at 220 separated they should build more around to 80 to 90 but Robin mo will take that six blocks to 3 hoy dominating at the net digs about even maybe stairs about even again Hawaii is not particularly sharp consistently throughout the first two sets that they got it done despite the big night that kazna Tata PT is putting together 12 kills hitting 118 she's got eight blocks that has been brought to her dog eight times you hit the ball out and that's not a good percentage and boy amber IG she is peering up some kind of numbers to bite the six guilt no Aires sixty-two Wow you don't love her improvement take a look at amber igt ye being led by pelvics eight kills it in 389 or so really amazing what those two freshmen have amounted to here very early on in their careers they don't seem to have any hesitancy about performing in front of this crowd in this atmosphere and obviously another big challenge will be presented to this crop of freshmen as the Rainbow Wahine get prepared to take the show on the road next week we heard that how big's parents might be watching right now from Sweden Charlotte and Anders I believe there would be they're pleased the way set 3 started if they are watching that's kill number 9 for healthy if they are watching the British then Aloha from Hawaii thank you for letting us have it right Tiffany Westerberg making her first appearance of the match keno is that caught up in the table zero zero zero two kills 12 but she's putting on four of Hawaii six blocks you'll see a chases down the stack goes back through to McKenna Ross she hits it all Utah Valley in front here early 73 with the opportunity to get their hands on the boot sticks but Utah Valley putting up quite a fight in set two and what he frankly ragged in stretches things up here here's van approach the exact same time may be confusing the defenders just a little bit yeah that's pretty unique right there big swing there by two feet deep pigpig along the back behind by healthy high ball spective and sickle hit the pin [Music] so point there for the Wolverines Utah Valley coming off of 1814 season a year ago their first 21 season in program history reach the title for the state as the year goes on straightjacket right there [Applause] [Laughter] [Applause] robbing a motor signals for a timeout it's a valley off and running into third [Applause] [Music] welcome back time now for the Akamai roofing report as Hawaii on occasion putting up the wall yet again here against Utah Valley six total team blocks in this match just add in to their season which at the moment is now 92 and speaking of blocks it seats all Valley trying to build the blockade of their own as Sadie hampson shuts the door on Tiffany Westerberg and Hawaii trailing by a handful here as new to prove AHA continues to serve from the line Westerberg has to field that one and then Wagner dug up I need to prove aho over the net Wagner again this time from off the twine right there is Wardle she's been digging up a lot of Hawaii hits but nobody digging that went up by torrid aureus and Utah Valley is 'we would give him a lot of credit play some good volleyball right now really steady keep the ball in play good blocking plays transition wagner may have fielded an out ball right there back row seconds to mckenna ross dug up by christensen so utah valley coming back the other way and then dorias throw the block and down what is happening on the whole inside of the net cement the big orbiters on is what Utah Valley's delivers good volleyball good sways of sir beat up as a tough sir and sickle trying to apply the tourniquet and she does overwhelming horrible on that occasion Maddie world has just been impeccable defensively that time though came in a little hot and so Hawaii trailing by a half dozen and trying to rev up the engine again here in set number three in the game of volleyball typically than a five set match three out of five if you win the first two it's really tough to get cranked up to be for anybody in Division one three in a row sweeps are tough these days down the line it goes off of the choice er middle set and then went up over the net after Hamsun late into it Utah Valley scrambling in transition uh defeat see Doug caballo kena here's Van Sickle touches it deep sniffed out by Merrill the Libero not a feet deep right down the alleyway and that's now 14 kills for kazna easy tom hollie just being a little patient and putting a lot of heat on that last one this is a terminator wouldn't you say that's an understatement Van Sickle over the double block it'll be a chase down opportunity and getting there is Merrill what an effort okey know the first touch berola event sickle the set was off the mark and now they advantage to the Wolverines in the middle hampson is dug up by okay no I Jeanie the touch pancake saved lay out there by Stratton Hawaii can't return it give credit to the wolf race great hustle chase stealing that ball deep on the court nice pancake jig in the middle by Stratton in the largest lead of the match here for Utah Valley Ragnar against a double block and she sings it way wide and the wheels wobbling here for the Rainbow Wahine in a huge way it's looking a little more like volleyball with an F on the side what he needs it then sickle the dink another layout safe by Stratton tie defeat the over the double block or key no the save Choi trying to Center it and another three chance here for the Wolverines Tata feet deep come in throw away their 15th kill and Robin are mo relegated to signaling another timeout Wolverines bite years here trying to ward off the sweep welcome back on the next island driver TV we'll take a test drive in the sporty Kia Optima check it out Monday night at nine was able to get this Rainbow Wahine 18 going they have been at a loss here in set number three and we have the insertion of Kirsten Sibley for the first time here tonight playing the fifth set of the season and the senior from Lafayette California ton a 50-quid dig there by Wagner Choi right side Sibley the touch good coverage by the Wolverines on those tip shots so far tonight Sibley this time a bigger crack at it dug up by Christensen thought a feat he winds up uncoils but the up is there by Wagner back row said he'll dig dug up by Christensen Wolverines play it back downs couldn't get all of it until a chance here for Hawaii in transition he'll dig from the back row [Applause] slowly cutting into this deficit there's the key feed was sweet he's got the hot hand that I might as well keep giving it a great rally both sides Plan C great back road defense ten kills for healthy hitting 429 and then I stop three straight points by the bowls right side out of feet T well you can't slow her down for too long that was her forty third attempt she now has 16 kills who she ices her arm after matches I think it's biomechanical at the very least fourteen serving six another good serve will let you out a system sibling dropped in roof that may have been the key here for you top out in building this hefty advantage in the third there just serving tough in Hawaii has not been able to handle that first touch first car that's not been good they've not got six blocks to Hawaii six blocks you are digging Hawaii 44:39 Choi jump set back row goes to Wagner he's fielded by Stratton doused at the net nothing going on Utah Valley side what you with a tall hill to climb here to get back into the mix in this third set Rick Van Sickle will serve five nine redshirt junior from battleground Washington Valley now desperately out a system and that was a gift that they just gave to Van Sickle and company it was a good certify been signal is she pulled the center off the net so they were gonna be on a system anyway but for nobody to take a second contact was shocking particularly because it was the Libero marrow who had the best angle and played on that second contact so eight serving 15 high in a way the set goes to Christensen who caught it that was a touch no touch tell Valley players imploring sama Toa to challenge that no touch call yeah it looks like he will do that so he informs Ernie Howe that they want to take a look and whether or not there was a touch on the Holi side so replay time here at the Stan Sheriff Center again this is by far the hardest yet replay to get a really good definitive evidence living out there as a touch goo balls traveling so fast at the net and at this juncture of the third set this becomes a pretty important review I don't agree Hawaii scene cut the lead down gains momentum it wouldn't look like the fingers moved there to lift things any spilling the ball yeah any change in trajectory that you could [Applause] [Music] and you don't really see a change in the path there of the ball but that's not to say that there was definitively no touch it's just is there enough in any of this to warrant a reversal of the call on the court and I think we're starting to see that more and more frequently the officials if there is even a smidgen of a doubt if there is an iota of doubt they're not going to reverse it but we'll see he does reverse it man thank God we're not wagering on these reviews [Applause] it is 16 serving 8 go figure and that's a pretty big one instead of nine serving 15 16 serving 8 as Utah Valley tries to extend this match to at least a fourth set oh that's what couldn't handle the first contact for each chance again for the Wolverines outside Christensen block out of these so Troy eye on a way to he'll be over a double block tried to slice it thin far side and misses wide the other thing that starts to present itself here for the Rainbow Wahine is UCLA has got a couple of three-set matches they're chillin Hawaii if this is extended they're gonna have to put in some extra effort here and that's gonna be all that much more of a challenge there's a way he tries to muster up the energy to go up against the Bruins tomorrow night [Applause] Wagner with the bump set nobody home a lot of disarray and miscommunication but it is covered up by the amber IgD a lot of very uncharacteristic type of moments that we're seeing on the whole side you know I think part of this can be attributed to the fact that a really important a big time member of their starting unit is not playing Julie Rasmussen is doing integral part of this success of his team and an integral part of their she is right there of the the transition play and a lot of balls going to hurt hope some nail there's some some hesitancy businessí by the rest of the players now she's not in the Wagner sends it to Sibley she goes off the fingertips him down [Applause] they do have a server behind line right now that has had a propensity for losers if anybody could be a little bit relieved you'll see you will see simply get in on the action [Music] just her third built the season first touch there by Tata VT Christensen a tightrope walk the top of the tape sometimes when things are rolling those kinds of things tend to happen their way right now Billy Christianson [Applause] specifically trailing by eight the slide to Westerberg [Applause] rates MPL co2 Westerberg coming in off of the bench last night she provided a spark for Hawaii six kills hit 455 to go along with three blocks and so what he defeated West Virginia in for the middle sup into it she's got three kids oh she's trying to get it rolling here now they were passing better she they're gonna pick up her third kill missions in the serve slide to Westerberg [Applause] what he tries to exploit that a little bit more frequently here moving forward in this match the sky winds will strike a little bit offensively hitting zero zero zero two kills two errors that in the first couple sets that's my Westerberg zinc to bring some offense to that middle position block got a piece there yes SIA will slide again and that one a little most of us tibur had to just tip it over town of ET what a save there crawling along the tariffs left by okey no need to believe Bauhaus sends along was there a touch no touch is called for away [Applause] just let me challenge remaining at the moment force a motto we Pilkington unafraid to give up her body which is the most black and blue bruises after match outsides a defeat II got under it try to sprinkle in a little bit of drama Sam I told us a enough of that drama he signals for a timeout so Utah Valley will talk things over he does not want to see this slip away the Wolverines led by as many as 10 here in this third set there was a touch there Kaz wanted one but I don't think there was one anyway they worked so hard to get this point you're right you know they'd be up by 10 at one point during this net to be up 1914 now Sam Botta did not want to let this one get away so he's getting his team's attention refocusing hit the reset button they're gonna scramble so you think at the next six points Sam out so a head coach for Utah Valley who has roots in Polynesia graduated from high school in Western Samoa attended BYU Hawaii for a couple of years great story he paid his way at BYU age by entertaining and dancing at the Polynesian Cultural Center humanitarian efforts he's made the last since 2010 arrested some more have that tsunami that hit them he's every year since 2010 he's either taking a team or taking his neighborhood down there to help them rebuild their communities the Rainbow Wahine volleyball team traveling next week they're gonna go to Waco Texas to take on both Missouri and Baylor a couple of ranked opponents at the moment but we do have some University of Hawaii sports lined up for you on petram sports Rainbow Wahine soccer on Thursday and then on Saturday Hawaii taken on Central Arkansas on the gridiron that's on spectrum Sports pay-per-view [Applause] so Hawaii trying to still make a game of it here in the third and you got to get these Serbs out of the timeouts in and healthy doesn't hardly keeping them going for stairs like that your hand healthy has carried Hawaii 10 kills tears getting 364 anyone gave away from a double-double but you took away Baja those to protect with Helbig on the service error [Applause] so 15 serving 20 Utah Valley hittin that final poll here in the third set [Applause] Bailey Choi with the serve middle set Choi with the dig on the Hamsun swing pelvics on the back roll brought back a cover by Aquino middle said IG [Applause] can they look so sure for the trends they should play like that and two plays ago they look confused go figure the freshman from Baton Rouge Louisiana now with 8 kills for 71 percentage Hawaii within four right side and that one gets through Doris gets the kill for Utah Valley I was a formidable block with i/dd over there that Hawaii had up but she was able to still get passed around from the bench Stratton with the served back row said and that's how big kill number 11 love the strategy of feeding Hill Pig she really does of the hot hand right now she's doing what Rasmus will do if she were in the back role at this point also received some confirmation and his parents Charlotte and Anders indeed watching from Sweden they tweeted at us to say what's up 8:30 in the morning over there away trailing by four Christiansen from the back row and that should have been a dig Robin amo beside herself after the Rainbow Wahine defense let that one by fifty forces the overpass Christiansen couldn't put it down though IG he does [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] my Genie once again makes Utah Valley pay so Hawaii's still not packing it in here in the third Christensen off the block played off the ricochet there by Sibley here's he'll beat through the block popped up by Stratton slapped over half-heartedly so Wagner takes on the setting responsibilities bug set to hell big that was knocking ton of feet to the floor [Applause] and a timeout taken by Utah Valley lookie here Hawaii trailing by as many as ten now within three that was some major heat he'll be put on the ball that time it's on a Fiji a great defender that time as you said knocked over with that power your Sam Otto accredit put the pieces back together again see if they can muster three more points before Hawaii can muster six yeah this set is feeling kind of like The Tortoise and the hare type of scenario but I don't mean Utah Valley was so far in front everybody assuming all right this is going to go at least four but this thing is not over here in the third just yet you see how I does if they serve in that for the timeout keep that momentum going force Utah Valley to the side out see Patrick gasping there next to the been working on course member of the Rainbow Warrior with volleyball program let's check in with Ryan hey thanks couldn't overhear on the sidelines coaches while talking to a team brightly how to get out of this side out he's saying we need to first pass the ball but then also telling potentially running a slide for trying to split the middle blockers Hawaii having them have to work they also the players on this side I got to tell you they are very aggressive they recognize what happened it's said number two they keep repeating we're not letting this one get away back over to you guys yeah I mean here you talk about you're looking at for a good chunk of that second set in fact maybe even the majority and for the majority of this third set you have outplayed the 18th ranked team in the country they just haven't been able to finish the deal just yet exactly exactly you see what happens here after this tour before I keep them in or Utah Valley can steal it back trailing by three until Valley goes to Chris Pisan she has been for Utah Valley here her 11th kill he would Sam at all wonderful take some pressure for Petey that's right establishing herself as that legit alternative option outside Helvey popped up thereby Stratton she's been doing some good defensive work role shot there Christensen toy fields it bump set the Sibley to blockers up she tried to go high hands and sends it long boy Utah Valley Aloha Bowl in the third to extend this match sips usually pretty good kick the following the top Shopatron got time for some narrow it deserve choi goes back wrote a Wagner of the freshman Riley Wagner [Music] the advantages of Joey Rasmussen being out if there is an advantage boys younger players really gotta step up to the plate so here's the back row tax I can start making more gauge start blocking better to make up for the absence of Jody remains Aloha ball in the third he'll see it sold better past there by Christensen but a Petey is dug up by Wagner high ball set - he'll be blocked and Utah Valley with their seventh team they are able to claim set number three we've had the same score in all three sets but the first one that goes the way of the Wolverines we play on here at the Stan Sheriff Center [Music] you saw valley extends the match to at least a fourth set and if what he is looking to close the deal they're gonna have to find a way to reckon with the two top hitters for the Wolverines tear pitches one of them 16 kills that she's doing in all kinds of ways but I just cannot figure her out and Christensen 11 kills only career she said about 300 and she choose come on strong here especially in that third set [Music] we've a concern here Chris for Hawaii is that as we alluded to I would say that the majority of set two and certainly the majority of set three the Wolverines outplayed the Rainbow Wahine and so they're only feeling that much more confident I think despite being still down two sets to one I totally agree they're saying to each other in the huddle probably something away you know what who's the 18th ranked team in the country and we're playing right with them in fact we're playing better than they are right now let's just go out and do it so I think they're just building a bit kind of self-confidence so I think give away a tough match right here in the fourth set helvi 12 kills to lead the way for the Rainbow Wahine hitting 321 and how about a double-double performance where the freshman from Sweden as well she has 10 digs to go along with three blocks McKenna Roth back into the match here at the start of set number four so things a lot more laborious in the last two sets for the Rainbow Wahine but that's a good start Morini osya deals an ace rich mission purchases also been working on she's got a double-double 11 kills 10 digs two aces tonight for Noreen highballs echoes outside to dorias dug up by Yosi ax so IgD had to take on the setting responsibilities Hawaii in disarray again new to Baja one hand over the net and down there's enough Bazaar play of the night the one-handed left-handed bit did kill nice kill for Mexico she immediately struck that's a sheep as short of luck right they're almost by guilty luck don't you eat come on yeah looking like she got away with something Hawaii up to nil here negatory as Yoshio second ace of this early set forth she has a way of taking over rash at times we know the teens I think she has another serve like this and it results in a point they've got a call timeout it's blasted pass by Tata feet the outside yet to make an error hitting a thousand promising freshman wouldn't you say absolutely six two and Heber City Utah Hawaii had a system back row set goes the Vans sicker three blockers up and it didn't get above the tape - serving three here in the fourth [Music] damper for the hoist first contact to be good Utah Valley has been serving very tough making it difficult for Hawaii schnauzers Lucia sets up healthy blocked back the cover there by van cipro flat footed Wagner sends it over so the Wolverines would be advantage Newt to believe AHA off the CD block now it's Ross to little something off here is Tata feet D dug up by Ragnar you'll see a outside he'll big brought back again the coverage by Van Sickle you'll see it tried to catch them napping nothing doing Dori Asst pounds it off the hands middle said I JT to low she could only tip it over but it's returned once again he'll be coming to the rescue overpass he'll they just tap sit down she's got so much international experience not like she's gonna be a very high percentage player and has played for both the youth and senior Swedish national team's dorias cross court did saved their biosea punch set okey know very tight to the net scramble action on the Hawaii side and Wagner sends it over high ball bump set goes to tie defeat D sends it long as they're a touch nothing doing point for the boat there's nothing left in the tank it's all I'm telling it she's powerful attacker and you start to wonder though I mean that's now 48 attempts here frittata feet deep how much more of the load can she bear well at least one more Kraken yeah um that's okay laughs freshman of the year left oh she's more like I said that like me be feeling like she has to pick up the stock for a lost Joely master see you can certainly sense that Hawaii missing the presence of Jolie Rasmussen as that one hits the pin for Jolie and Hank injury she says it is her unique paint injury good news is she was a tree map that's right the other good news is it's not as serious it may be as maybe it looked initially as Van Sickle able to put a pounding on that one I mean when you saw the replay last night of Rasmussen coming down on one of the West Virginia players feet and that ankle turn I mean it was tough to watch and it was almost excruciating and even Jolie herself said I'm surprised it wasn't a more severe injury when I watched the replay yeah downs dougga by Aquino and sickle set was a little bit off the mark pinballed around and returned away trying to steady things it's millions into the offense she had great success that first set with her blocking her offense not as sharp this offense looks pretty good better timing [Applause] so aid serving for here it comes from Bailey Choi set outside it's downs off the block saved by healthy then sickle winds up uncoil [Music] [Applause] Santora signals for a Utah Valley timeout Brooke getting cooking welcome back Sam Alto signaling for a timeout Utah Valley down two sets to one finds itself trailing here in the fourth set nine serving for Bailey Choi with the serve for Hawaii out of the timeout outside hunched over left handed style by thought of 50 chance for Hawaii Wagner throughout the dig there by Merrill Tata Fiji I'm much better swing at that time the result shows a teeth kill frittata PT 53 attempts [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh and puts Helvey straightjacket they're able to forge a return though big advantage here for the Wolverines outside Christensen that one tight to the net picked up by Choi so he'll V goes bump set across to Van Sickle Utah Valley planted back Christians had blocked the cover there by strapping Christensen again what may have gotten a piece diving save Akeno back Florida Helbig with three blockers up it's saved by Tata feet deep fishin sin again block another chunk on that swing Williams in the middle of the touch shot around and returned many of those long rallies in the third set now they're trying to play better the transition game especially his salary question sin again the block getting the touch there miss Rossi McKenna Ross delivers Hawaii up six [Music] [Applause] hawaii's pin attackers right now I'll see them on five-ten and six-one on fire what's interesting is how Robin amo has gone back to several players that she actually pulled off of the floor as Tata PT you're not really ever gonna have an opportunity to pull her off the floor as important as she is in this offense but going back to Sky Williams going back to McKenna Ross I think she's she's going back to the people because she thinks played best early starting spot tonight as that for sky Williams I mean we talk about the reserves themselves and sort of that mentality of always being ready to play and here a couple of examples of even starters tonight becoming reserves yeah and being ready to go back in for play Christensen ball came out on the set a little strange there no call a loss tried to go line and she hit the pin [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] seven serving 12 to a valley with the point [Applause] [Applause] outside from the back row it's Wagner swooping in great up there that I thought of feet deep Boreas is dug up by Wagner V gets the swing off the fingertips of the block Utah Valley goes back to oh it's not a feet T that one caught the tape and that may have allowed for the rainbow wahine save for the advantage now with the Wolverines the middle set though misfired for sure they're to go back to 10 feet see again pretty good swing the first side got Doug I would repeat it right back to her thirteen serving seven in the very dangerous marine you'll see are going back behind Brian I would just sort of bought her more ice after the game that's right there were sixty seventy by the extra bags ice by their setter Dori is blocked that combo again seen that ITV and healthy 9 night [Applause] Patricia achievement especially nice job to drop her left hand into the angle [Applause] so I GT her fifth block to go along with nine kills 14 serving seven Hawaii hasn't a valley doubled up middle said dorias right there is you'll see a back road bumps at the Van Sickle she wasn't able to quite curl it in and the point back to Utah Valley tonight tomorrow the Opera hotels and resorts Rainbow Wahine volleyball challenge feature match of course the rivalry renewed Hawaii in UCLA the Bruins with just two losses on the season they came early and they have seen to found their rhythm as tight a PT continues to just drive into the sets coming her way where she feels like she's got to bring this team back by herself so she goes up to attack she's I think she's got the mindset where you know I'm hit this so hard there's no way they can win a transition plan on you she's in the 20 kill range now as Helbig gets it down that is kill number 15 for Hannah career high was 15 versus st. Don she also has 50 digs to go with that huge [Applause] [Music] when they needed it to with the absence of Jolie Rasmussen absolutely hell up Bailey choice yep 14 gigs herself she's a big night middle said you to prove aha the ITV fingers in down [Applause] [Music] new to kavaja senior says she plans to major and enter into the field elementary education [Music] here's healthy walking down just keepin it rolling how about this Co other direction sets it back puts it right on a diet no big delivers zametov said before the master said boys so what could have two senior centers that are so experienced so smart as Doris goes through the blocking down the EOC is an example that changes to go back to healthy once again I think that dynamic between joy and you'll see it and something to behold right you're talking about two three years starters prior to this season basically full-time type of setter talents sharing the limelight here in this 6-2 offensive scheme each others had to give a little bit of an ego because they're not playing as much as they're used to it you're right van sickle [Applause] percolating as she now has double figures and kills giving her hitters very clinical balls hitting them split blocks late blocks its head scratching how this Hawaii team from not just night tonight for from set to set can look so drastically different with regard to its execution [Applause] did you see bring yours I'm not sure hey you're not gonna get me to talk at all about robbing on those gray hairs I'm getting I'm getting more gray hairs just with this roller coaster over to you whatever oh great dig by healthy then sickle the roll shot some improvisation on the side of Utah Valley they forward through the turn though outside and sickle some tied cheddar there marijuana and another point for the rainbow latina [Applause] so a timeout taken by Utah Valley we'll take a break as well welcome back stick around for the Heineken postgame show coming over right after the match as the corner crew breaks down all the tonight's highlights and statistics we look to get right into that certainly there'll be some feedback to be enjoyed from Scott Lisa and Ryan tonight out of the timeout could serve their overpass Williams a completely different looking Hawaii team here and set for than what we saw as they were staggering at times through set number three how about the way Sky wolves has come back and played like the Player of the Week that she was last week [Applause] unloading once again smart move by the Utah Saturday move around it's not just give her the all the outside said I will try to move around you think she brought it inside for what's it going inside to set but then serves a 9 out of 15 now with 21 kills on 58 attempts [Music] Pizza Yee mongs money how did the monster performance and this would certainly be one of the story lines for the rainbow wahine of the freshmen Hannah hell v16 kills it in 360 117 digs and four blocks just fill in the stat sheet Christensen doing a pretty good job of that as well even if the work was really hard these last two give these last five points because this Utah Valley team is not the kind of a team that will give up easily we're scrappy gritty feisty you should have a thing or two to say and then the Western Athletic Conference schedule starts to get going well a tough slate here coming up for the rainbow ah hey man they will likely be this is pure speculation without the services of Jolie Rasmussen for the next several matches you're talking about UCLA tomorrow you're talking about going on the road and playing nationally ranked Missouri in the tournament hosted by Baylor in Waco and then Baylor a team that just looks like they are on a mission here in 2019 yeah Baylor's you know 5th ranked from the country right now Missouri I think it's 22 or 23 you know that's a really important road trip for when we see it ball goes into the antenna first or goes into the antenna off the block well let's into the blocking in the antenna that should be point way easy call there oh yeah hmm I'll make that call right now all right I'll let you be the one to go out on a limb here easy call here but I think you're right easy call yeah into the block bend the antenna well I don't even think it hits the antenna it doesn't think that just goes off of the exact lines on the block exactly Kenna shook because the ball hit the cable yeah you know take a look but you know what we have not been very accurate I think we've been wrong every time tonight we have we have not been good at the speculation here in the replay reviews a weakness in our game [Music] but I'm with you that looks like it goes goes off the block and it's off of downs and out yep oh my goodness hold my goodness I lost perhaps for one of the very few times in my life Souma it's inexplicable look Ross trying to right the ship yeah create some much-needed sense and balance here this juncture of the match that was that was wild what surfing 14 [Applause] with Van Sickle with the ace just like how she planned it pops loves it back-to-back aces she did she did then translation it back-to-back cases same thing get hot behind that service line as well as the rain yo Co 23 serving 14 Hawaii closing in but not before a new to Baja not just another kill in the STATCOM always good to see the homecoming of some of these players they have another Hawaii brought up that tail out of Kalani high school on the roster you have not seen her here tonight help [Applause] [Music] to stand up they rise here at the SSC there is pitaya [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] and so mourinho see of that behind the line to try to end it it has not been smooth sailing by any stretch here but Hawaii without the services at its top hitter Jolie Rasmussen on the brink get in the W Christensen [Applause] healthy and she's in on that block next to her fellow freshmen and barrace his walk on the night [Music] their palace at the net because they can take over matches and certain points during the match to really make a difference to make the other teams hitters start thinking twice so it is a fish 8'o here in 2019 again necessarily an overall performance that will satisfy dare we say head coach Robin amo tomorrow it will be a great match against the Bruins of UCLA [Music] all right let's send it over to Scott Ron's he's with head coach Robin ah mo all right thanks a lot put on a coach or a tan oh I know this he frustrates you but you find a way to win we practice to talk about ha-ah I thought she really stepped up tonight in the absence of Rasmussen like you said Jones not here and she did step it up I was trying to give her some rest today but obviously cannot thanks coach all right guys back over to you well healthy she was pretty special in this one see Mac there's no denying that Bank of Hawaii presents the players of the match and these were the two standouts I think this was a pretty clear-cut campaign on both sides kazna Tata PT 21 kills to lead the way for Utah Valley and he'll be 18 kills hitting 395 four blocks and I actually think that may have been hurt if block on that last sequence to go along with 17 digs I mean stepping up when Hawaii needed her most the growth for this young talented freshman but we saw it on display we almost witnessed it in real time here tonight oh by the way she plays classical piano and speaks four languages she doesn't eat at all tonight she was great and in the end Hawaii improves to eight know and it sets up the true tournament championship tomorrow rainbow against the Bruins of a UCLA rivalry renewed don't forget about the Heineken postgame show folks but for now for Chris McLaughlin I'm gonna lay a law from the Stan Sheriff Center welcome back to the Heineken postgame show back inside the Stan Sheriff Center or Hawaii goes to even on the year with a four-set victory over the Wolverines of Utah Valley and joining us in the corner a very special guest the real veteran of this team I think the heart and soul center nariño sia marine welcome back thank you your role has changed obviously every year it seems like this year you're working obviously with a to center system again but you're mainly just a center with a lot of young players yeah who saw what happened tonight we've seen some of the matches how much is that is youth and you guys still trying to get to know one another on the floor yeah I mean the girls are doing great we're definitely just still working on things I'm connecting with hitters and just finding our just flow of coming out strong and keeping it steady at times it's a well most of the time it's really up and down but definitely having a lot of new girls I think just implementing the culture that we've been trying to build since coach rob has been here has been going very good they've been working hard and that's all we can really ask for and every day is I would say it's a work in progress yeah so here you are the lone returning starter and you get all these new people coming in like you're sharing how do you feel coming in like what were your expectations it must have been like almost like the fear of the unknown yeah well I've definitely played with a lot of these girls in club Jolie and Brooke and I definitely was aware of you know the new girls and what they were capable of so is more of just excitement and just getting them caught up the work ethic that Coach Rob has been trying to build yeah how difficult is it for you now sort of coming off the bench almost at time than having to set for three rotations then go back up it does that do you feel is it difficult in the flow of the game does it is it that do you feel like sometimes it's a little more difficult to sort of get back into it every time you come back and then come back out how much does that affect you yeah definitely well in the beginning it's been like a work in progress for me definitely just part of a confidence thing but me and Bailey we have a good relationship we definitely talk about just like what we see within ourselves with the connection with hitters and just like really elevating each other and just speaking positive yeah words to each other because we both she came from a great program you saw all playing all around and yeah just trusting each other and just accepting the new role that we have and it's been really fun and yeah we've been really enjoying seeing the girls or the team perform and I'm sure you're having fun you're unbeaten you're eight and no but where you're at right now to where you think this team can be what were you guys at right now oh we're definitely not close to what we know we are capable of definitely just playing teams that are similar to the teams that we play in Big West and just making sure that we do take care of business and you know like play hard and try to beat them in three so I think we just really need a take take the opportunity when we have those moments to really be in the moment and play a point four point and yeah it'll be better when you go back there to jump sir I have a question for you do you get is it a free-for-all can you serve wherever you want are you still being are they still calling locations for you to go after that's so fun you asked that because well recently I've just stopped looking at clay oh just give me a little anxiety yeah definitely my flow right now is I'm just going back there and ripping it but it can be different from next week I can probably look at clay for some comfort and where to serve but yeah definitely it's just something that I need I've been working on and yeah grip it and rip it it's working it is you're leading the team in ages and when you go back there you're bombing balls oh yeah I try to you know one days one of the biggest things that we've seen with this new often Saab viously with four hitters that at all times on the pins but but is the incorporation of the background how often you guys are running you know the different ABC I think you guys call it paint these colors of the rainbow both but how how long did it take for you to was that something that you guys thought about coming into the season that all right we're going to make an effort to integrate this or is it more still level of a bailout pain or is it more of it's part of the offensive it's it's a free pass we're still gonna run that no it's definitely a part of the offense that's why we don't really have the Libero in at the moment but it's something that I think our team is still working on on just seeing the vision that coach Rob has for the team and just seeing how well it'll work if we work we put the effort into it because definitely if you see past and then five people are trying to hit the ball like everyone you know so I think it's just a thing for the our team to just get that through our head like if we really do put in the effort then coach coach our vision is gonna be awesome and we will be doing way better than what we're doing now well hopefully you explain tomorrow light to everybody how big Hawaii versus UCLA is we look forward to an excellent match hopefully nine and no after tomorrow night but thank you so much for joining us thank you guys our very special guests here in the corner Mourinho SIA the
