[Music] colossal is the word as we welcome you inside the Stan Sheriff Center canola he next to Chris McLaughlin c-max take us through the kaiser permanente keys to the match for Cal Poly they've got the set Devorah check s Maya they're number one outside hitter number 15 watch her she asila she hits about every third ball averages four kills percent it has a Mourinho Co like serve she has 49 aces so far this year there for Hawaii they got to keep feeding the Middle's Skye Williams and amber I cheated on the one he knees and highest percentage attackers why not give them as many sets as possible the Cal Poly the two-time reigning Big West Conference champions coming in nine and one currently sitting alone with just the one loss atop the conference standings a win tonight for Hawaii though would allow them to leapfrog Cal Poly and be in control at the top of the stack in the league as we are going to have a Miss hip called against Mourinho SIA and the first point goes to Cal Poly the Hawaiian Financial FC starting lineups will be scrolling in the bottom of your screen Rainbow Wahine coming in 18 and 3 8 and 2 in the league you will notice Brooke Van Sickle back in the starting rotation for Hawaii a net violation called against the Rainbow Wahine and just like that see Mac it's a quick two nothing in favor of the Mustang serene Eocene with a double contact that's rare Morini ousia into the net that's also rare not a good start for the Rainbow Wahine good star for Cal Poly that pass on the money you'll see it goes middle amber IgE she had two blockers waiting for so here come the Mustangs quick middle SEC was to Meredith Phillips it's dug up from the back row the swing by McKenna Ross goes long and a point for Cal Poly the first time these two teams met in California back on October 11 it was a Tuesday type of experience for the Wahine they had season loads kills hitting percentage assists and blocks as Cal Poly pulled off the three sets sweep this is Maya the Voracek blasting it off the block saved by Hana Helbig here's Brooke Van Sickle a guy about a block and that was a blistering by the junior transfer from Oregon took a long time for Boyd a notch their first point of the night Brooke that sickle knee brace and all plants a way to get it done and I still shown some spectacular bounce even with the heavily wrapped knee which forced her to missed three matches a couple of weeks ago here is Mourinho SIA and she misses the floor alive you'll see ahead it revved up from behind the service line Friday night set Parilla of a victory over UC Santa Barbara she had four aces with just one kill shy of a triple double performance she was just awesome amazing performance the Dixon with Missouri on a helbig off the bump set [Applause] Dixon so Hawaii gets another point how much do you think her the hell Vic's parents showed me up from Europe helped her and getting 19 kills on Friday night gotta be inspirational right for sure career-high 19 that serve is good from Van Sickle forces Cal Poly out of system free chance here for the boats josiya right side healthy food lockers up and she sends it long tried to avoid that block to no avail said five servings who here coming up for Cal Poly the thing about Helbig that made her night so rare was the fact that she got off to such an ice-cold start was hitting negative numbers to the first set by the end of the match the career-high 19 kids she hit 304 and sickle from the back roll would save there by the volchek left side the touch by Nikki Jackson and she's denied access and it's amber IgD next - he'll be it's a pretty good block right there healthy taking on the best left side here from the other team IgE just a force up front way she's blocking these days she's just be incredible walking almost to kill to box percent by the Hana Joaquin a with the serve middle is dinked over by Madeline Mercer chance for Hawaii here's healthy by the double block and [Music] from Stockholm Sweden native muster on our dishes right for serving five here early in set number one then Cal Poly out a system it will be Jackson that doesn't get above the tape and that's a point for Hawaii Bay drawn even at five apiece Jackson is sixty two senior from Henderson Nevada and averaging one point six seven kills per set the strength for this Cal Poly offense certainly Maya Devore check on the opposite pin but also the Middle's they wanna pass well so they can set their middles very similar to a hole what he wants to accomplish offensively you'll see a outside to Ross and she finds that inline and that is a point for Hawaii we may have a challenge in it for a second like Caroline Walters the first-year head coach for the Mustangs was seeking out the challenge card where she decided to decline on that option it probably had five sex in the first set not a good idea to use up one of your three given challenges in the middle that the roof was up and that's not five straight points for the rainbow wahine a person all Big West pick in 2010 she's solid they're fake blocking as well another good sailor Hana Wahine here's the four check from the back row you see why she is so difficult to handle six months off from Truckee California and what is amazing about her story is she played a husband $0.30 the previous two years and was playing behind Tori van Windham who is talents that Cal Poly boasted the last couple of seasons and natori out and has not played this season because of the effects of a fifth concussion suffered late last year in semantics women's at door court de Bourgh Tech and I don't think anybody expected her to see this much of a book she was sure she even expected it to be this bunch of course she's now their go-to player she gets twice as many sets as the next player she's done with efficiency outside said and that's a good-looking swing there by Jessica McCroskey nothing senior six footer from San Diego California she has done the tour in terms of her position standing converted from outside hitter to defensive specialist back to outside hitter and then she is recording a kill surveys long that time for mercy and so for what me up to here in set number one so much Hawaii success this season according to Robin arm oil has relied upon their just being engaged right being quote-unquote up for the match there is no excuse for anybody not to be up for this matchup tonight they're not [Applause] selfish or frosty with another kill they're not for a lack of effort defensively he know going into the signage across the way he had a career high 25 digs against UCSB his Van Sickle up the ladder and down the chute [Applause] here let's see what there's any side effects from it Megan has provided a spark off the bench for Hawaii in some of their recent matches tonight though getting that starting pole outside is the Voracek off the block look alive now going the other side the roof has up on Jessica mccroskey while was able to read along the net very well it was Van Sickle out there on the pin sick all by herself Alka hits the block solo smallest player on the court for Hawaii getting the biggest block they names at the Knights match with 33 blocks on the season the Voracek the tip weird layout save there by Bailey Choi Van Sickle another big wind up but it's dug up by Dixon to Voracek does she get a piece of the block no miss wide point for the rainbow wahine and there up a force club and that forces Caroline Walters to signal for a time out the crowd welcome back let's take a look at the Jack back a new nemesis since rejoining the Big West in 2013 Hawaii in Cal Poly have played 13 times the bows took the first eight matches but the Mustangs have won four of the last five try they had only beaten Hawaii four times since 1980 prior to the 2017 season but Cal Poly has owned this league the two previous years and they sit atop the standings currently Hawaii trying to change that tonight as the hora check is blocked winning the Battle of the net right now cement three blocks have none how about the two offices Hawaii right now hitting 273 Cal Poly getting negative 188 come on Astro they're led the toughest hitting 295 so it's a team that fits play is prolific but he trailed in this opening set by a score of 5-2 - they have outscored Cal Poly 11 took three since that time game [Applause] Morini ASEAN SiGe SiGe self everyone she goes jump in fix over and down when she gives like a stair the partner you'll see I like to be just do that for total team blocks already for this rainbow roofing company they have punched in for work here to start this match put their past alphabet McCroskey layout save there by Ross has been simple off of one leg it works sic was a volleyball player she can do things or broken plays so well sent his way off to that she had a scram before take off in like that was a step out maneuver she finds a way to find the deep corner and then flashes that gleaming smile to booty no sense that ends a run for Hawaii of six straight points and we mentioned how they have turned things really since it was prior to Cal Poly to start to be a hunger now going back to sir five six Alton more from Manhattan Beach California career high 14 digs in two aces in the first meeting with Hawaii fields this movie there's IgE swings and whips at it and that is an unforced error and no point without Paulie [Applause] there are busy connection between man and joy pamper igt couple of missed connections in the middle the other night as well the way he was able to steer the ship back on course in that regard [Applause] rough patches when you came to that setre middle connection there is the connection that time it was I'm just going to say it be a great time to repeat until the team will expect we're going to go away GT Berry's window right GT ten kills nine blocks the other night against you she needs the team with 15 solo stuffs on the year you'll see it with the survey we passed there by Jackson she gets the set on the outside is blocked back saved by Dixon and the Voracek opposite position what do you think makes her so difficult to stop when she's left hands waiting to see many left-handers in practice in fact do they have enough time so what makes a difficult day now playing against left-handers for two is she's a she's a risk-taker Van Sickle this is the floor wide narrowly robbing amo I think is going to challenge the in alcohol with the are to Dickson Chung and sickly trying to take line there see if she was able to catch it by virtue of the replay Dickson Chung the are two on the floor bill Forrester atop the ladder across the way Randi whooping off and Dean tomorrow the two line judges here in this evening [Music] shut down the one it's pretty good I'm first look [Music] it's an intriguing angle there we'll see if we can catch anything from this side we want a little bit more ambiguous yeah first we'll look who's got some white paint woman you know Brooke took the absolute right shot hitting down to let me see who those four hands across taking her cross court normally her favorite shot this one here she shows she can go line he missed that she didn't miss by much that's for sure they did the best shot right here gets knocked over by the player is there enough to overturn the call as the question there is Dickson Chung said that was in fact in and so good challenge there by Robin amo her third season 57th victory is ring big dipper's between 1612 and 72 let me write you necessarily mathematically seem like much but psychologically especially against the team like Cal Poly it certainly does Devorah check Athena was in position but never came in with some velocity might need to move over to the left of block neva check here she is that juncture handled well by okey know the SEC was to Helbig little off-balance fingertips of the block the vorcha from the back roll roll shot diving save you'll see over the net saved by Van Sickle Ross through the block and from the senior McKenna role she's challenging of 16 16 watt fearless up here challenging that big big one I think she feels like she has a certain vendetta against Cal Poly hit- to 14 in that match in California she really struggled up here good sir to Mercer was dug up yes the dank tipped back she jumps right back up at its dugout by Dixon Jack sees roll shot easy pickins therefore you'll see it here's Kofi off the block and down [Applause] [Music] plays in this opening frame once again Helbig at the end of place being the Terminator getting much word of it I used to sing her hip right now it's enough to call timeout welcome back HM essays dental plan is all about winning smiles so much easier to flash the smile when you are winning that's why we've seen a few more on the whole east side of the net so far seem to know what you mentioned earlier how hawaii lost every statistic about it the last time these two played guess what's happening now Hawaii's my name the tilt percentage battle for 20m to negative 877 and they're winning the blocking and away in the digging back Devorah check again their Jackson blocked back Hawaii impenetrable at the net at the moment Jackson this time fools the block that again the Rainbow Wahine moving large above the table here in set once across the bit here is Jackson played sparingly throughout her career here in 2019 sky Williams in the middle today by Jackson a little mix-up there on the second touch no violation there according to the officials he'll be a fingertips at the block chased down on a second touch by the Voracek free chance here for the bones you'll see oh right side Helbig no blockers up and she just saw touches it to the floor Robin amo relents from her coordinate with Dixon Chun thinking all's well that ends well on the point it did look like it hit both those players exactly Dixon and the setter Avalon doneck O'Shea when he's serving folk team here in set one the Voracek from the back roll tried to slice it cross-court could dig there by Troy Ross off the bump set and lassies blowing right now third Hill on her sixth attempt that weekend a Ross and this is the largest lead for Hawaii in set one the why she goes out she's facially huge block that's undertook the why because he knows she likes to go why and she says okay fine I'll go cross court when she gets the kill I'm frosty rattled around on the whole a side of the net and who handed over so chance here for the Mustangs they go to the Voracek from the back low and there is no getting by that Hawaii Bluff it may not have gotten over the tape anyway but Skye Williams in perfect position Hawaii broken play put the ball over to the right person who put the connector shank so she could not set the next ball 22 serving 13 milks I McCroskey off the block two-hand punch saved by Van Sickle Ross tight to the net all action applet wine as Rascals off the block that's kept alive by Devore check o that quick set outside a little too low from the frosty so Hawaii with the advantage here's will seal the touch shop diving saved by Dixon back over sky Williams in the middle comes in off the forearms of Mercer Dixon bunt sets Devorah check locked back taking a stab at his it McCroskey and she misses the floor wide is there a touch no touch and Hawaii wins a marathon sequence sake you know this is got a good boy all kinds of practice plan against is Cal politic is whether you want to Cal Poly and poet not Molina they had all kinds of comes all night wrong weather was the crowd or just their stagnant play ownership now we're playing just the opposite connector Shea by the double block with some heat Akeno tried to conjure up the rolling save the vortex kills on 15 swings so you don't ever stop Maya divorce head she's right there at her season kill average but opening up up 33 your this containing her they would agree exactly right side hers Ross the block was late informing it's a net violation cold against the Mustangs and looky here Hawaii up double digits and set one and they'll serve her a little Bowl this has got me a little shocked computers down by 10 he's a good Cal power to they're gonna run away and hide I'll tell you that as evidence they're on the perfect slide execution America Phillips Phillips at eight pills hit for 29 to go long before in the first meeting with the rainbow wahine great white slide all welcome to norfolk sir from connect a shack there's the neck ashay on the Surrey the past there'll be no outside band sick off on Springs [Music] themselves ready for battle here matches of the season taking set 1:25 15 the Rainbow Wahine volleyball is sponsored by Bank of Hawaii and Hawaii Honda dealers well but what he passing out some invites to the block party in that first set see Matt for total team blocks and part of the reason why they had Cal Poly it's more percentage to open this marathon those clocks gonna helbig in on two of them the roof and said I want to show she put on the first set five kills me cries she's hitting 625 pretty good number inchi bring so much stability to know until the passing pattern big waterfall yep for digs at first set out of Hawaii's 15 she led the team to dig into preset blood the team in the tally and she did not play as Cal Poly in the first meeting and that's right providing a new look right I mean obviously she brings a certain dynamic for this team in all phases the other side of it is Cal Poly hadn't seen her yet prior to that first set in Brook man sickle taking advantage come and visit the new spectrum store at Pearl Highland Center above Sam's Club learn about Spectrum mobile and get the best devices latest technology and coolest accessories open Monday through Saturday 9:00 to 8:00 Sundays ten to six [Music] wins in demonstrative fashion in the first frame but this is not one of those opponents where you can start thinking okay really really good team I mean you'll see you will get the serving started here in set two pretty good when handled well by Jackson the Voracek from the opposite side is dug up by yo seal pump set cross-court goes to hell v dug up by Devore check take to the neck the Lord check would just touch it over healthy sniffs it out oh that one over the tape though and it is dunked down by Meredith pillows missed opportunity there for Hawaii swine [Applause] well she could've easily fall through to the cable you'll see a high in a way to have a block back the cover by Van Sickle and Oki know this has to send it over on a free bowl before a check against the solo blocker in the form of Helbig and she just gobbles her up this is like a sea rocks copy the first set the Cal Poly jumping out to an early lead first shot they went out 3-0 before her life could score goal 805 two in that first frame ended up winning 25 15 then sickle drifting goes off the block saved by the door check to the set up to Jackson over the double block saved there okey know helvi cross-court about the layout to keep it alive by hunger touched over by Jackson Hawaii now in transition back bump set goes to Hana the high hands and down [Applause] Dixon might be able to get under it unable to I like that rally wife there Lee hungers dig Wow she kept the bowling road beside the net kept Cal Poly in the rally until he'll because that nice like hand shot is gonna be a free ball here coming back for her lucky Van Sickle Ernie's receives it Ross can scoop it in even things have been to a face with Kenna Ross now five kills just one error hitting 440 poor seen that Wow the difference from hitting negative last time she was at Cal Poly then Sippel into the twine I think that's one of the things you could look at Hawaii at Mott gym but certainly was nowhere to go but up right season lows across the board in just about every category so they knew they were at least going to get a better effort than that certainly set one proved to be a much better effort by the gunshot sniffed out there by okey know IG d in the middle off the block Goodwin hands saved by the lower chest Jackson them even out ball played by Yosi oh and so he'll dig two hands of the cross Mustangs with the advantage Jackson to swing tried to get cute with it in it [Applause] two blockers up she tried to a roll shop there to set it to low go Paulie hit negative zero to six in that first set mind you they're coming off of a sweep the victory against CSUN on Tuesday where they hit a season best for 11 as a team good save there by Van Sickle but you'll see across is that bottom line trying to get to that second touch [Applause] [Music] you're serving three here in September 2 minutes Nikki Jackson [Applause] skyy Williams in the middle wrist away for the rest away you know what Rico he knows she's passing Dino she did not move an inch that ball Skye Williams there move down that's a good ball on your poor pointing out the effort of Rico he know as of late playing her best volleyball of her Hawaii career about 420 black tips on Friday back to season high for anybody in a rainbow why he didn't come this season back row said there's a Van Sickle takes a little something off of it or the pass is tight to the net but we gotta just above the tape played off of that Baiul seal set outside a little too close for Ross a little ping-pong match there at the top of the table dug up by Troy back over to the Mustang style Devorah check the swing through the block one-hand layout save and sickle here's what is winding up and unleashes it deep and [Applause] repent sickle hair subjugate Leishman one hand and see to keep the rally alive [Applause] it's just missing longer attack goes into the net these are the top two service ace teams in the Big West Conference you have Cal Poly averaging just under two aces per set that's tops in the league that's actually six coming into the week nationally fifty bases of the year on the other side with one point three aces verse said but I mean that just tells you the discrepancy Cal Poly way out in front in this conference when it comes to the ability to score from the service line when we asked Caroline Walters what's the key to rank she said oh servant pass bad pass there by Van Sickle I said the advantage here to Cal Poly the nikah shave goes outside the touch by McCroskey would save one hand style by toy another free chance go fill the Mustang they go middle to Phillips and she goes off the blocking down so we saw Hawaii winning the majority of the Scramble plays and said one that's starting to smooth the other way here in the second tip shot hit save 90 saved by Troy [Applause] challenging alright so yes it will be Dickson Chun asked to take a look at that last sequence and I do think they're asking for a net violation that would that would have come earlier in the point we'll see what you won the first challenge and set one on an in-out call down the line which was reversed oh and there is some contact it looked like on the far side see yes [Music] NetCam comes in so handy in situations like this great camera see if we can tell from this higher angle right it's gonna be right there she's into the net I'm not front who was that the prosecute that would be lacrosse game correct here you can see because of the net cam you can see the shaking of the net which is usually a telltale sign we'll see and it is a net violation so how about on the challenges here this evening can you talk about the big swings in momentum it goes from seven five to six [Applause] [Music] you think no heat Robin's Gandhi's be very careful how she uses her third and final challenge Rico oki'll sir here's the board check down the line I was a heavy-handed swing chick coming off of a match Sunday against Sue's day I should say against CSUN 20 kills hit 532 the first time around against the bowls she had 16 put downs hitting 323 8 360 Cochrane's Player of the Week this year in really her first season half of any legitimate action which comes from the Tahoe area actually her first sport his speed the brothers need a Utah scheme takes right-click kind of ranks in the family but you know she's a double black diamond pilotless skier journalist she is fearless she'll go down any Hill attack any block from the back in the front I'm more of a bunny slope kind of guy what about you - here's you'll see a seven serving seven minutes kick on the tape the Vortech blocked any porn for Hawaii better have that thing locked in place when Maya Devore check comes swinging in your area yes surprised that I GT got stuck he's right getting up and she's a quick feet good laterally normally she best avail it to the outside and that ball is set to the Cal Poly side is a pretty good chance that the berchik is gonna get the anyway in the middle is Maddie Mercer getting the gist of that and she's second on the team in blocks that an 11 block match last season against the University of Hawaii that is two off of the single match mark in Cal Poly history and CIPA tried to touch a deep but saved there by Dixon tight to the net the one hand set to Mercer right now it's Cal Poly finding ways whether ad libbing improve finding ways to score and they've opened up a three-point advantage a little flavor of this set so there's wrong though port service error from Cal Poly that matches Hawaii's output in that category no service aces to report just yet as Brooke Van Sickle repositions herself behind the service line Vika Dixon have a nice run there she used the scores point when it's her rotation to surf she's got 23 aces on the year number three on the team is the Vortech moving right now Maya Dvorak it's batting practice right now on that opposite bin what a set from Janecka shake going one way comes back to outer against the grade beautiful scent so those wrong Devorah check as an engine in fact nationally in cases coming into this week 49 in the year you got to get him in earlier in the season Caroline Walters saying Heilig our coaches just grip it and rip it she says that as some of the errors started to mount she started to get a little too precise with it but he's tried to get to precisely didn't that could cause more errors as well omits the hitting error giving Cal Poly the point and so they've had to say 'la but just a little bit [Applause] guarantee the challenge cart would come out even at Cal Poly lost that rally as it stands all balled up three down Sigma puts the pass on the money here's hell big to him save there by Jackson and the free ball coming for Hawaii can be cash in here you'll see a goes back to healthy fall sport and wide and that's a point for the Mustang [Applause] they're now up for and you start to hear some noise and guests from this dancers in the ground push this will laughing amo wait till the 15-point automatic cried out and while she used one of her two timeouts Lucia outside here's Ross Ross has been taking some very swings here in recent weeks no she's got a big block you know she would swing high go for the hot hands war go inside the block in deep what you get for 14 and set one right now and set to there at zero five six we have to lift that up a little bit [Music] there's McCroskey from off the net tools the block [Music] what is block not nearly as effective as it was in the first rain first frame I want to think a lot of it has to do with telephony adjusting their shots repeating off the edges of blocks rather than hitting into the block I think that he's taking smarter shots Madeline nursery then from what he plays this gap of about three about where it's been over the last few sequences it is Riley Wagner in and back to serve the freshman in Dublin Ohio the past their middle said that is Phillips off the blocking out so Cal Poly first 250 trying to flip this quick number two welcome back let's go inside the numbers presented by Heineken 25 we mentioned the career high in digs for Rico keno on Friday versus UCSB and that was otherworldly her previous high was 13 also against the Gauchos back in 2018 but yeah that was a bit of an out-of-body experience for Rica she was just on five shut off if you see somebody break their career record by Delta the Hawaii trailing by four here in set 2 after an incredibly impressive and efficient performance trying to get them back on track here with the put down that is earth seven - the big difference I think this set is Cal Poly hitting 304 much better percentage than their negative numbers for the first set why dropping go all 56 here is okay no it deserved dips in the first touch they go middle said it's Phillips and she crushes Meredith bullets averaging 1.78 kills per set in the year seamless connection right there Philip just burying it was a big West l5 team she was on the old frosh teams Anika sheyla's press a quote freshman of the year in the conference so right now super salts are putting their fingerprints figuratively and literally all over this second set is Philips gives Cal Poly its largest lead of set to chor eyeballs it to Van Sickle [Applause] number eight Brooksie mac national park 8 kills for team tries no era scene 570 work also has 60 digs and here is marine EOC oh I see if she could put together one of those alums at the service line great so but the first touch there by Jackson date by Devorah check finds the floor so she has just been raring back and blast in the ball throughout the entire match right there she pulls the string in places it perfectly great kills for her welcome back let's check out the first wine bank top three Big West service aces and yes the top three all part of this match Maia Devore check forty-nine aces in the ring you'll see you at 34 in Avalon the necroshade has 27 for Cal Poly and ironically no aces yet in this match this is their number creation right here Lucia goes to spend sickle in the middle and that was a little wrinkled there out of the timeout for the bowls good crossing play one of those audible lies on Friday by Bailey Choi the LC team start to do that more and more as the season gets longer because there's so much videotape and all the other sets the necroshade it was only Ross there on that outside position to try to block her and that's that is a tall assignment literally ten kills now for the Voracek [Music] and Ross Andals that hot serve though she gets the set on the outside was a little low she got blocked back Hawaii now going the other way to Helbig her date shot finds the floor [Applause] there's just a little bit of sharpness that was there and set one for Hawaii that isn't quite materializing here in set number two a lot of that has to do with how sharp tell paulie has been able to prove to be here in this second set exactly question much better offensively outside that set a little off the markets of Jackson sends it in just as we're talking about the crispness at that time it wasn't on point what he was in three he-man gettin ready to serve Suhana he'll fake moves over the block the poor track here he stays how about that the first pace of the match and that thing fell off about stable Hawaii within to Cal Poly signals for a time out [Applause] five foot two inch Tyra Hana Wahine a their 12th ace of the season with the biggest and first ace of the night you're right bottom just dropped out in London the gravity ball there yeah by haha Noah ena one of the triumphs Grendel Oregon transfers along the ban sickle and Jolie Rasmussen who remains out after injuring her ankle in the seventh match of the season so the questions continue to mount on men her return may be hey let's check in with Ryan he's got some VIPs in the house with us hey thanks Cano well we got some very important people here in the span shopping all the way from sweet of course we're talking to the helbig's we're gonna start off with you that on there's and what has it been like for you to see your daughter play here and be in this environment at the center Center I think we've been watching every game on TV but coming here is something special the atmosphere of the arena and the crowd going crazy it's something different it's really really cool I want to talk to mom Charlotte now what has the you know we had no idea like of Lucas is on the coaching staff how great has it been to have someone from back home to be kind of a mentor for Hana I know that she was take care of so much so I'm happy and do you want to play here one day could you see yourself playing here as well absolutely I think the team is we hope to see a lot more of you guys in the next four years let's send back over to you guys and thanks a lot Ryan I'm not sure if there was a recruiting violation in that interview somewhere but I am putting in work at the Madeleine Mercer out of the timeout Cal Poly gets the side out they have been site outing at a very high [Music] [Applause] he's 70 percent relative boy signing out right now but 92 is crazy help only turning their offense around Ross has to chase down the second touch free ball coming the way of the Mustang the neck of Che sends it outside the mccroskey and over by Van Sickle I'm sent to hell v Gogh the fingertips of the block dink shot by the bourchek diving save over the net by Oki no middle set goes to nursery she delivers another point for the Mustang so what he got within two started sensing that the crowd was once again getting involved in Cal Poly calls for a timeout scores two quick ones out of that break and what you once again reeling a little bit here in the late stage of set to talking to sky Williams that are about jumping out on her block instead of shuffling over and then pressing over the net and being squared up on her attacker she's sort of leaning and jumping sideways we'll see if she's gonna correct that but I'll tell you tonight cachet he's done an amazing job of moving the ball around not just relying entirely on Amaya Devore check but really beating the Middle's very well right now good look at robbing amo in under fifty seventh win of her tenure the other night against UCSB she has her team ranked 21st in the latest ABCA poll most importantly 17th in the latest ratings percentage index now Cal Poly is playing for a lot here obviously they want to maintain their position atop the standings they're in the hunt for a third straight big West Conference title they were defeated by UC Santa Barbara and they have a biggie coming up next week against Santa Barbara and they're gonna basically be playing that one depending on how this match turns out they're thinking that one could be for the Big West Conference title there's a look at the standings Hawaii though has swept UCSB in the season series and so a win over Cal Poly if you go to the tiebreaker formula what basically mean that Hawaii would own the top spot in the conference they would just have to win out and they would despite being tied potentially with Cal Poly and UCSB in the standings wins and lost homes they would have the tiebreaker by virtue of the season sweep over UCSB out of the timeout Nikki Jackson sends it into the truth now on the other side Cal Poly they're RPI is in the forties and so in they're motivated to win the conference they're also motivated to try to get if not a conference championship and hat large into the NCAA tournament so these next two matches for Caroline Walters team they're huge they're they're really big I'm sure she's told her team her team knows it the last thing that Caroline Walters said to us a real actually their si D told us was yeah it'd be great if this is a 3-bit conference this year as the chance as you see his touch shot slowly and the tricky lates down to the Teraflex yeah I mean that would be pretty spectacular in what has long been observed as a one team conference for there to even be the discussion of possibly getting two maybe three teams into the NCAA tournament it tells you just how far the Big West Conference has come before a check that one didn't get over the tape and that's a point for Hawaii [Applause] [Music] about the sleeves in this game just when you thought Cal Poly had a stranglehold Hawaii surges back to within a digit and a timeout signaled by the Mustangs this is a game of momentum nobody ever denied that it wasn't has swung back to the side of the rainbow wahine there you see Charlie Walters a great player her own right at Santa Clara [Music] number two all-time WCC digger number one all-time santa clara figure so she knows how to play that back row that's right and enjoying the transition in her first season as a head coach let's check in with Ryan one of the things that Cal Poly is shocking on their sideline is saying they'd have to continue to pass the ball on the net they would like they are setter to be much more aggressive offensively along her big jump balls to look for them to maybe do a job of passing the ball tighter in the dev and getting her more about apathy on that second touch for Hawaii Robin Mo taking a lot of time talking to her wing blockers specifically Ross and good sicko about their hand positioning saying hey delay on the right side blocked because of the fact that you guys are undersized you can't jump at the same time that the hitters such I mean did lay a little and try to get a touch they're trying to slow down the blocking on that right side back over to you guys on some of that info cement yeah I agree I think that Polly past ball closer to the net when did NECA shades him to print row it'll allow her to attack the ball more often remember she's a six to Center who can hold her own she's hitting 267 on the years a good number I think it's a good idea right now good to say is in the front well that passive close for her this set to very much up for grabs suddenly the Bailey Choi been ready to serve largest lead and set to was 5-4 Calipari passed there and they go slide to Mercer that's dug up by Opie know Ross cross court analyzed and so hitting error gives Cal Poly a two-point advantage Rasika still too much importance of ending bar I think my hand deep-well shot down the line the substitution here on the serve as reserved setter Jordan Amoy a freshly from Temecula California one-time top 100 look to buy prep volleyball comm sends it across Hawaii needs it yo SIA is dug up by the board check jumps out in the middle of an awkward set there by the necroshade no call nothing awkward about that as sky Williams pulverizes that middle set nobody celebrates better than sky smile that lights up a room I Williams second kill for her pull at the temp see what she did the other night against UCSB wines back row wait bigger shell closer playing up every meter line they're aware that do Becca Shea might dump the ball over the men at any time outside the seconds come across species block back the forward check will get a swing out of it and she hammers it all the Hawaii block and out what a dangerous weapon she is with his Mustangs how is version of battle performance that is a pretty darn comparison I'd say it doesn't matter where she is on the floor seemingly yeah here's you'll see a often roof [Applause] paulie's Phillips and McCroskey joining forces to send that one back me in a day are looking to tie this match up at one set of peace aloha ball four set to serve by the neck O'Shea to hand pass Van Sickle rightsiders you'll see a passport and in he's not power yet Rika hope he no getting ready to serve [Applause] you'll see it just it's not candy about the way she sees the bar she saw the middle blocker was weighted nuther so she chooses the cross-court shot right in the sea here's okie know gotta get it in she does for pass there by Dixon the ball check is dug up by Troy highball pumps at Van Sickle blocked Andrew how come Meredith Phillips Polly kills in the match that is her first block and they have come at tiny moments even with Ola in the match one set of piece get comfy folks it's gonna be a competitive one welcome back let's take a look at the McDonald's match statistics lower even in sense of peace what do you think about the overall statistical comparison well it's really deceiving because boy a hit for such a big percentage over 400 the first set and Cal Poly hit negative the first set so it looks like boys winning back no percentage battle but they really only wanted for one set the next set Cal Poly came out played much better offensively blocks got even big Hawaii is getting a lot of digs special touches up a block then you see the age stares about even I'm surprised Cal Poly does not have any aces at all such a good serving team I expected they may seek some in here the next couple cents we'll see but we're in for a great battle Sony's Torchic she is the real appeal their burger Prado Barbuda big leftenant swing she goes cross-court jawline just in the back row she hits in the front row so far she's got 11 kills 286 appeared at the Philips well how about her de Blasio we've got four blocks so far she's getting in on three up that one block solo as well really good back inside the SSC Kanoa Leahey next to Chris McLaughlin so CMAC how does Hawaii get back on track here in set 3 I think just gonna pass the ball better I think I gift to the Middle's more middles only hitting 15% of the set so far normally opening of a set remember i GT was hitting negative up to that point she's 1 kill 2 errors now she's flatlining it here is Mourinho SIA to serve that's a good one that'll strong past there by Dixon to burr check through the block and down well that right now is the puzzle that Hawaii is trying to solve Maya Dvorak 12 kills numbers of 300 she has just had her way really since the start up set to so powerful assuming it was such a good player whose River Crossing played by Hawaii plate up by Devore check off the ricochet Jackson is dug up here's healthy walk that a good piece of animal so Mustangs bringing it back the Voracek down the line [Music] [Applause] when across her body a little too far missed it Wyatt in Hawaii gets the point she didn't miss by much I tell you forth hitting error from I had a Vortech here's Brooke Van Sickle with the serve they go middle and that's Mercer dug up by Van Sickle high ball outside Rostov Inca finds the floor and little insult to injury is the nikah shave went diving for the save and then Mickey Jackson inadvertently kicked the ball into her [Applause] checking to make sure that Akshay is fine setter is okay she's a tough athlete here's the kick right there po3 run outside it goes to Jackson dropped back by walls they go the other side the Voracek yes it's like clockwork right now for a chick puzzle with boy has left quite figured out [Applause] she's like the most difficult Sudoku you can find she's New York Times level crossword on a Friday or Saturday Monday at to see Betsy back maybe you have a shot we need to saving graces for Hawaii and has been that to this point of our check hasn't quite been calibrated from the service line but that can change in an instant that's served by Hana why he knows that boy said Devorah check off the block it out waiting for her it seems as though the blockers to the most part she called a different way stir the board checked hit the ball came out a back middle as opposed to back right just to throw a different wrinkle into their offense the password by doing oh they twist to hell dig in the middle and she gets the point for the Rainbow Wahine they're about five so he'll be coming out of the game right there's a reason why she's playing or she's playing the center sponsor she's playing right side so she comes out before the center's comes in Fanny joy comes in for what you're missing what we were giving up though is he'll be eating out of back row she's normally very affected they go step out and that is nursery they wanted to work the Middle's that was certainly part of the game plans at this point Mercer and Phillips when they have had the opportunity they have been effective Mercer now with five kills Phillips with three and they've also been felt in the blocking game here's you'll see on the outside here's the block she has an uncanny ability to do that free peripheral vision that she's created she knows to work the edges and she's uncanny as you say I'm getting site outs for the raid ball hitting as a hitter three kills already double figures in assists close to double figures and digs great serve there by Ross outside the second come across key save there by toy but there in just the nick of time [Applause] was a great central Janecka Shea Phillips took a mighty swing was as good as swing as I'd seen at a call here all night when Detroit he's the one who kept the rally alive obviously great swing by Phillips he denied my sky Williams Williams second on the team in blocks and blocks per set over one block first set as that one goes long in for Maya Devore check-in she tells the Ricochet to feed me I like that spot it was a good set was my fault for hitting it too far I don't think the necroshade was thinking otherwise she's it behooves her to keep feeding the Voracek as Phillips on the slide got under that one is opened up a five-point advantage thanks to a poor old run and that cused a time out by the Mustang [Applause] welcome back get in the game with on-demand highlights of University of Hawaii sporting events spectrum subscribers have exclusive access to spectrum sports enhance channel 13 and 10 13 you've already seen sand spectrum enhanced or worthy highlights in this one right now Hawaii leading by a handful out of the time out in set number three match tied one set of peace they go to Dvorak from the back road dug up by Ross back set goes to yo CR 50 hands saved their Taylor Rose in the back row off the ricocheted pass there by Van Sickle and Yoshi is dug up outside the touched by McCroskey diving save troy second touch yo sia and a free chance coming here for the Mustangs where do they go they go middle to Phillips pancake save by Aquino and we play on outside McCroskey misses it long and there is a point for Hawaii looks ax-chopped coming from the Mustangs coaching staff and I'm not sure if the complaint is about the in alcohol or if they thought there was something else at the net I think they're shocking the pancake Nick might not have been good have a ball set legal case it wasn't worth using up on the challenge pounds and so Hawaii up a half dozen can they keep the momentum going ten serving for bass by McCroskey they go middle the Phillips mistimed in the middle so chance for Hawaii hears vent sickle lines up uncoils off the fingertips it's saved by the vortex Phillips again in the middle this time is able to overpower the block of Williams here is the sequence two points ago is that in or out the call was out and by virtue of that replay it will certainly look in no challenge coming service error will give the side and the point right back to the boat [Applause] Caroline Walters simply preserved and passed game is where it's at right now Cal Poly line observing errors so far Becca Shea goes middle to Phillips block back by I GT Mustangs once again go to now they go to Devorah chat she got a neck violation called against wolf and sickle and it is a point for the Mustangs and sickle telling Robyn amo she didn't touch it remember ahmo's already in school of her tstewy challengers Rican 11:6 and the third has got the best friend they used up her third challenge I think she should have saved that for a crucial time but at the end of this set or sometime in the fourth here's Van Sickle a block back saved off the Ricochet by ross IgD has blocked layout save and returned by aquino the for a check into the net as Demura check was in set - she has yet to really find any semblance of that same rhythm here in the third shut the sets are a little bit low and fast for right now but longer the match goes rumor she's gonna start experiencing some fatigue news of all how many sets she's getting straight now so far she had 28 sets here and just a little over two and a half since fast there by hunger Devorah check flop out a piece to save popped up by Ross here's held big tough angle and easy pickings on the save for Dixon the poor a check straight down to the floor Regency played behind or even Linden who was the Big West Conference Player of the Year last year has not played this season and after suffering a concussion at the end of last year and so I think a lot of people thought a look at Van windin can't go that's all she wrote for Cal Poly but Devorah Cheng has taken over that position and she has thrived and right on cue proving to continue to do so here in the third set Tori actually came out and said that the board check was one of the reasons why she made all League all-american all those other awards she got watcheth has put her in the gym every single day tough get there and that's an ace the first service ace of the match for Cal Poly belongs to Mika Dixon 224 service ace on the year she's the number three issue this very good serving Cal Poly team three Oh run another ace they go back to back and here come the Mustangs rumbling back into the scene here in the third set trailing by just two and forcing a timeout welcome back Saturday tune in to spectra mostly 16 at noon for the AHSAA cheerleading Championships followed by the mini Lani marching fan fest at five pm CMAC during that last timeout we saw the injured Joe Lee Rasmussen in the middle of the Hawaii huddle trying to rev up her teammates here as they have seen a six-point lead dissipate in the last few moments back side set goes to Van Sickle and she goes right block to get the much-needed point to end or um I think Jolie has been struggling with their therapy and coming back not going as fast so she's trying to re-engage reconnect with her teammates so that when she does come back it'll be seamless the question now is when and if Jolie Rasmussen will come back busting up the spatula was okey know Helbig [Applause] [Music] big smile from the Florida grad keeps up by going and then he'll be his only healthy canoe just rips away 14 serving tannin here in set 3 and that one didn't touch the floor they yelled roof in the arena it plays on hell Vitas dug up to the net IPG to his bluff IG d kept that alive herself and sickle has to to hand it over house how Kali staying very much in this sequence the diving saved by Van Sickle on the second touch and it'll be returned here's the floor chat duhkha biosea and a net violation hold against Hawaii will give the points at Cal Poly after what was one of the most exciting and enthralling rallies of this match we thought that ball was down on the roof I went off I think an arm and then a mean there was no whistle credit credit Charlie for hanging in there you'll see it has to chase down the second tux we'll also get a swing she's blocked would cover their bio Pino bump set back row Van Sickle right there is under middle set how about that position by de necroshade to get it to Mercer Hawaii now with it the other way he'll dig is dug up here is the Borah chat cross-court and wide no tux point Hawaii their first the 15 in set three [Music] did you see where the Nick Lachey was when she set the middle to Mercer she was in the middle of that back row hell she is unafraid to go to either middle Mercer again Skye Williams got a good piece of that one here's Ross from the 3-meter line the touch shot sniffed out there by Devore check outside that is Jackson easy pickins there for Josi a healthy gets a swing out of it and I met violation called against Cal Poly Hawaii backs up a handful [Music] [Applause] there well in Brooklyn play situations except for he'll be swinging hard on plays like that he nailed that one just crawls over the net the Voracek from the back row and she finds that in line keep her quiet for long you know what an amazing Cal Poly didn't find a good place for her to play a little bit behind Tori Bedwin find a place for somewhere yeah no kidding rook man Windham of the left maybe imagine both of those players on the floor this year oh yeah you'll see you outside the Ross off the block what do you think about in Hawaii step here in the third set it looks better sure fire offensively why just could not match them third a little more even offensively although our stats have gone down so we can get numbers right it's all going to be estimation from here on out folks at least for the time being back roads ban sickle solo stuff metal and Mercer rising high all Big West Conference first teamer last year led the Big West in blocks Mercer at six for those have to go up too high to stuff that one straight down you read that play really well [Applause] it's em adrenaline [Applause] that to serve short sir Williams pull off by Mercer and Troy will bump it across so the advantage to Cal Poly the middle set missed time now Hawaii with the advantage Williams in the middle [Applause] choy once again looks to the sky and she delivers I like the way that Detroit repeat it to Williams again hoping to catch Cal Poly's Miller's off-guard but first it's right there ready to go good matchup two lawyers and Murphy yeah go and blow for blow there and that middle of that net off the pass so the swing by mccroskey good dig there by Ross and sickles will slap it over causes a little trouble for Rose and then that force is a free ball chance here for Hawaii Williams blocked back keeps it alive though you'll see it from off the net block back Williams the first touch bumps echoes so you'll see you down the line and wide lock up front for Cal Poly keeping them in these sequences that time it was Meredith Phyllis alright have their chances there Robert I'm very frustrated that sky Williams just taking so many of those first contacts it's you know to step in and take those I think man sickle and a big run up there she's blocked though she'll get a second crack at it took a little something off diving layout saving the back row by Rose Devorah check through the block off the dosia and into the seats and here comes Cal Poly again just when you thought Hawaii had a little bit of breathing room starting to get tight in the room once again guess let's bring in the back before a check alpine skier from Tahoe and sickle [Music] whenever Hawaii has gone to it obviously trying to ration it out in the vesicle with the flush swing that time yeah shoot little play pick one blob three to Van Sickle Robin ammo I think is a green that joy joy oh he deals in a side of the deck so we have the top two ace servers in the conference in this match neither of them with an ace it's been some of the supporting cast quote-unquote members of the rosters that have been providing that step Dixon for Cal Poly [Applause] [Music] devorah check and a net violation called against Hawaii that was blasted last anyway so either way you slice at point for the Mustangs you look at her personally the Devourer wonder when she was doing those other two years while she was working hard doing bad when we went out this year she up to her work ethic even more joy goes high in a way it's a Van Sickle could say bite you'll see off the block sent over by IgD and you'll see a fields it Van Sickle missus live all the way had worked the advantage they put in cash in and it is once again a three-point differential on the scoreboard largest leak of Hawaii in this third set was six joy goes back side the you'll see of the dink how about the Voracek laying out to keep it alive free chance for the Bo's Choi middle I GD touches it down [Music] [Applause] that's where my percentage attack is that's gonna force Cal Poly to take a timeout Maya putting the D and devorah check right there but it's amber ITT getting the point entering the match second in the Big West Conference and kill percentage number IgD who has lifted her game here at this stage of her freshman year you don't often see that from freshman in fact you probably more frequently see freshman hit a certain wall in their first season of college volleyball amber IgE has almost flipped that a little bit yeah she just keeps getting better better is better no she flatlined early in this match but she's coming on and stronger now that she's getting better sets and remember she's going up against six four and a 6-3 Walker in Cal Poly Mercer and Phillips who are two very good middle blocker is probably the best that I Jeanne has faced all year the real challenge would miss Hawaii done better you think in this third set as compared to set to the one they lost 25 22 they're playing better defense they're passing better the exception of a you know the one service ace but they've been passing much much better the most part the hitters are keeping the ball in play enforcing Cal Poly to play some defense right now Hawaii out digging Cal Poly 4732 that's not a number that I think Caroline Walters would be proud of she prides herself and being a great big coach says she herself was such a great day right now Holi only with 32 dicks so far Nika Dixon leading the way with nine eggs Devore check with nine gigs we got the stats back up c-max so we can start giving you a little bit more accurate depiction of some of these totals Devore chequered 21 kills 53:11 she leads everybody Brooklyn's sickle leading Hawaii offensively with 11 kills her hitting percentage has dropped slightly down to 276 but she's also got nine digs in her stat line another double-double performance already for Narine you'll see a 17 assists 10 digs Oh another hole hop night thread this groundhog day for her backside the Laura check to set a little low so she Dinks it pinballed around on the hawaii side the board checks on candy she seems to know just good voice played in a wide perimeter deepens when they are shall tip it to four shows backup diggers to come all the way off and stumble getting down foul trying to turn up the volume knob they go Van Sickle on the twist that one wasn't executed as well as what we've seen earlier Devorah check meanwhile block down helvi got the gist of that one right next to ygd and I'll tell you what nobody celebrates a room more emphatically than amber IG negotiated that you said for way of the braking truck way that she too shy they just love to celebrate I love to bring energy to the team no she most certainly does that she leads this team perhaps in energy scramble play here for Cal Poly free chance for Hawaii you'll see it sets up LV got under it was there a touch no touch and the point with Cal Poly 19 serving 22 trying to take a two sets to one lead in the match this is effectively the match for the top spot in the Big West Conference rainbow a rainbow wahine trying to give cal-poly a little bit of their own business they're getting swept but Mott gem earlier in the year back row said it's Van Sickle that one got stucked at the top of the table what he plays it back by Judy through the blocking down Yosi is going back to EGD despite the fact that Amber was struggled earlier tonight she's been here because she's bound to come back that three to four heart percentages she's used to hitting 125 so by Hana Wahine they go slide that's Mercer on the touch shot save Van Sickle Ross the same filled up walking down and it is a little hovel in set 3 for the Rainbow Wahine challenging a big-block there are six three and six two up there on the outside while she just going for blue and lost hit- to 14 first time around against Cal Poly she now has nine kills and she's hitting up near 250 the forecheck from the back row is blocked back saved Dixon outside the swing by Jackson finds the floor cut back shot buying Jackson saw the block will move across port art so she cut it back down the line wide open Jackson why titles at four Henderson Nevada to serve asked by Ross still Aloha ball for Hawaii Williams finishes the pill Heena take up two sets to one advantage the top spot in the Within Reach long way to go to finish off the two-time defending league champs the pigeon gorilla author leaves oh no cheese shows you how to craft a story on the next joy of crafting that's tonight following this live coverage of Rainbow Wahine volleyball the crafting going on in the stands and what the Rainbow Wahine have crafted on the floor tonight CMAC is a 21 lead here against the two-time defending Big West Conference champion it is far from over this is to cook the Cal Poly team to predict a set for went for Hawaii miss Cal Poly to do so clearly big six three and six core in the middle they've got opposite you know who's got 22 kills Maya Devore tech phenomenal right to 92 they're well-coached they're picked to win the league so get some swag going on meantime she's got to find a way to finish it for some time because they're always going five that's right for their last five wool matches went five sets the crowd the players I'm sure would love to present that but again easier said than done against this Cal Poly team and the times have changed right it's no longer Hawaii is the big bad pulley of the league this is a league that has the potential at least to send multiple teams maybe even with the blue teams to the NCAA tournament this year Cal Poly trying to climb up the rungs of the RPI ladder currently 41st in the latest RPI ratings and trying to climb up into a position where they would have a legitimate chance at an at-large bid if they do not win the conference about that layout pass thereby under but then the flora check hits it into the net that is her ninth hitting error and that was an unforced one it might have been during yo Cena's best cerb of the night and hunger just popped it up diving saved their top of the goodness check had got a swing here it comes from Lucia and again sticks the pass I got a Phillips she hits it wide no touch up front bank for Hawaii and they come out the gate here in set number four with back-to-back points whooping unusual drink no Robin mo has had very few subs she's been very steady with a solid lineup [Music] see the wheels turning we'll see measures up the servant forces and overpass then she sets up IgD in the middle 25 that's not her number she's poopin in the 200s [Applause] right here that's a quick walk to station 6 3 look at that celebration do something else we have 5 kills for IgD she's now at 300 in the percentage category for blocks on the night as well overpass [Applause] as usual Kirino SIA this he D says Mahalo Nui Lola after you'll see up this first person should congratulate it marine DLC is because marine serve allowing her to get the easy Smackdown can she keep the run going it's another good serve good pass this time though here's the Bora check ITT got a piece that would be about it for Hawaii so the service run for yo SIA is pawel and it is Mika dips in now with Cal Poly on the board behind the service line we've had Hawaii scored the fifth right thing I would have called timeout if I was Caroline Walters there's something to cool off Morini hacia got an overpass right there back and forth that vennett doused at the net and played up by Cal Poly Devorah check i GT got a piece then another kill from I had a boar check well that is now 24 kills in the match and it is to certain corner though it was impressive was appropriate place she had to step into the court toward the middle blocker in order to make that swing you know she's fearless when she swings she lived basically you got two shots she's got that all-out swing then she's got that great little row shot and tip shot and has been so effective to me the only time she's made errors I think has been with the sets been a little bit long for her she does have nine errors this book that's why she's hitting 275 but attends tonight to and 51 attempts well that's set too low for IgD and just like that Cal Poly has scored three straight this is the game of swings no pun intended I think that pun was fully intended three serving for a what you way out of system here free ball coming for the Mustangs then they draw even in the court he'll be blocks the fortune and logs the room that was mano y mano it was one-on-one at the pin than he'll be gone the battle that's why I like when Robin boobs are out there to block the Voracek I think it's a good move rather than leader Rossi you see if she wounds are out there Rossi right now I think is gonna go out there no he'll because they go out on the vensica forces the overpass IG he may have a smidge early but she was able to levitate just long enough to still put down the hammer she was definitely on the way down not her best time to swing that's for sure the result was just fine though from Hawaii's vantage point six serving three good served there by that sickle IgD thought she may have had another one hawaii plays it back in transition bumps at cross-court to rough tools the Block in Hawaii of seven three and Caroline wall um during a time out here a while see working the edges of that Watts Mark Twain [Music] here's a 5/10 you're going up against 6-4 6-3 you better start working the edges the answers let's it play on and devorah check into the net and maybe some fatigue starting to kick in for Maya Devorah check that was her 53rd attempt and that pumps welcome back there's a final Rainbow Wahine soccer team won one final in double overtime with Long Beach State Hawaii we learned on Friday qualified for the first time for the Big West Conference tournament they are the four seed Cal State Fullerton will host their the top seed Hawaii will play the Titans in the opening round of the tournament on Thursday is Nikki Jackson and what you need a coin for Cal Poly the Rainbow Wahine leading two sets to one and up a handful prior to that swing by Jackson and here is Maya the Voracek from the service line on the top ace getters in the country and she maybe didn't plan it that way that time but she records her 50th ace of the season right there amazing the coaching staff says that she has support so hard to become really good and surveying the rest of her game as well but maybe the hardest work for the team her heart and soul they said but this volunteer it is a bit of a feast or famine equation though for Dvorak from behind the line as we saw right there and that was a perfect microcosm ace followed by the out serve but that's what kind of give or take that you live with because when she does get hot oh boy she can go on a run Jackson the touch shot diving save wha second touch kill seal and it is shoveled back over by healthy in the middle there's a Mercer human large and putting on [Music] here's Ross keeping the ball alive giving up her body keep it alive adheres mercy at six for ice cream all Americans she played it's San Juan heals and San Juan Capistrano Jackson Missouri bass Van Sickle they go right side the heavy [Applause] [Music] 600 in this port set so for I got off to a hot start really play well off in Cal Poly just struggling having more hitting errors who then killed Bailey Choi with the serve 10 serving 6 they go you know that's Mercer the touch shot you'll see um Ross almost collide they're saving advanced sicko from the back roll Mercer and down now those who have got a scramble plays to separate the good teams from the great teams the great teams and scramble like that the work player of the bathroom will go up and take a rep out lot of teams will poke that ball over this is kind of awkward but not Brooke fudgesicle he's a barbell player and she's locked in she just brings so much to the table in every facet of the game the quintessential six rotation player high ball bumped circles two McCroskey was saved on the line by Choi back to UM set Ross from off the net had a tough angle at it it wasn't much he could do there Rico okay no quickly goes over to tell her team made my bed there was it tough there was a tough back barb cetas the ball is spinning weak was trying to take that spin off of just trying to get too hard there's the served by Mercer Choi eyeballs it outside so you'll see it easy pickings on the dink thereby Devorah check Phillips in the middle too hot to handle or even okey know Cal Poly back within three whistle Aristo a shop there even a 25-degree kokino couldn't get that one and pull the kills for folks joy eyeballs it outside you'll see ya [Applause] [Music] and the Voracek is the victim of it the war tech took a shine this is a grill no see well she should protect yourself with her hands but we could hear it over here it was a boy check bounces up ready to go see the four kills four you'll see a 22 assists 11 digs another double-double performance by Roscoe Nasia now with 59 career double doubles that's what fifteenth double-double performance this season continues decline of the charts in a number of different categories in the UAH record books Williams in the middle caught it fat no touch okra there is Cal Poly back within to CMAC elect I like the set to like the choice to go the middle bear lake Robin hobb also call timeout well maybe look for a challenge yeah she's challenging this this is her third and final challenge unless this match goes to a fifth set in which case she would get an additional challenge but what do you think about the timing of the challenge and we're not yet privy as to exactly what she is challenging on the play she is going to challenge what we are told a touch at the end of that play so not a touch of the block a touch of the back row I said what did she say [Music] not a touch there maybe they're looking at a touch there on Dixon we would have seen them a little bit easier to see Dixon tries to make a touch out of yeah she reaches gone out I don't think she comes near and didn't look like from the previous angle there was a touch on the block and I can't see really anything there she watched Dixon reach for it but no not even close these are called yes the call will stand so no more challenges available for Robin on all the rest of the way here in set four two point differential [Applause] he's got two timeouts left [Music] one-for-one mustang run and that was a knee race but the necroshade out by the line judge and we're gonna get a challenge from Caroline Walters it's a good challenge yeah if I was it from this angle it looked in so we'll see it was right in front of blind judge there but if this angle tells the story that looks like it's on the line in my humble opinion a little bit a lot of green too though let's see maybe this is a better angle or not yeah that actually the shadow of the ball looked to be a little bit more on the green but yeah did some Chum saw what we saw from that first and so a successful challenge by Caroline Walters that's now a three old Cal Poly run and it is a one-point set here in the fourth by as many as five that advantage has evaporated here is domeki shade into the net [Music] and that one will drive to counter berserk if you're a head coach in this case Caroline Walters you have the momentum it seems like you're on the verge of turning this set around and then the service error gives it right back to the boat murder book spin on the night for the Mustangs okie know with the sir what you up to they go middle it's Phillips and she goes off the fingers of the blocking down [Music] right read that play well had two blockers up I think 6:3 - hi - Niki little over poolish any blind sophomore out of Houston Texas is a four-year varsity starter of Memorial High School another service error this time by Lee under [Applause] those are just in time that the for Cal Poly and who now goes behind the service line for Hawaii menial SIA who reflected for the media about what was through her mind prior to these serves who tries to clear all of the ambient noise as the water jacket return to sender he'll be next to hi GT how about the great pass by Vika Dixon up yo eNOS is served [Applause] works like a chance to get a swing there but too much he'll be at the net 15 serving 12 down the line typing pass under outside SEC was to Jackson roll shot right there to dig at his helvey here's Van Sickle off the block played off the ricochet by you'll see a back pump set too far just trying to be a little bit too precise there serve receive right here another great move by Leah Unger he saved that play save that rally you'll see you they go slide to ijd she's blocking roof Jackson was ready waiting and able you know his three-point lead just like that goes back down to one this Mustangs team dies hard doesn't it [Applause] giggle together throughout letting big time sweeter Devorah check solid little great centered dick connect a channel fourteen serving 15 diving pass okay no right side it's Van Sickle tried to go high hands and it goes long no touch and we are even at 15 a piece in set four and a timeout taken by Robin amo she'll have one remaining we got ourselves a contest in the horse welcome back time now for the Akamai roofing report eight total team blocks for Hawaii tonight and so you add that to the season total 237 on the year the rainbow wahine a team that suddenly has added the blockade to its arsenal but right now we're even-steven at 15 apiece here in the for Hawaii have two sets to one hell big off the Cal Poly block and they'll play it back middle set goes to Mercer the date save and return they go to Mercer again off the fingertips good dig in the back row volcano here's Helbig right there because though keno saves it right here to keep the rally alive but I'll tell you a was struggling the last few points neither team's offense playing very well right now Cal Poly hitting Oh 59 Hawaii hitting 143 those are not monster numbers here's the board check and the block had not fallen split the uprights there and that's pill number one boom I had a lordship she is so difficult to stop such rage and she will serve which can always be dangerous top of a passerby okey no healthy from the opposite position popped up by under saved out of the seats by Jackson and returned to Hawaii son you'll see you back to healthy or like the repeat to Helbig I like that a lot she's hot right now she's only five three rotations so why not feed her lunch that's right though Hana whole sets there from Mourinho SIA and he'll be now with 12 kills to go along with five blocks on the home I get that I just got that very clever Mercer sends it long was there a touch no touch they reproduce one timeout left on either side here in this port set [Applause] [Music] Furies mana Wahine [Applause] the Vortech from the back roll off the block laid up by Williams you'll see a bump sets Ross got back and then it sort of balanced on the side of Ross's head though finally falling to the terror place inside Ross is going up against six three and six four she's a fight champ [Applause] in the closet right then there's a tough shot blocked by Cal Poly very even in the blocking department between both teams Jackson with the serve sliding past there Van Sickle cross-court bumps set here's lost the touch shop diving saved the Voracek the jump shot attempt by the net to shave is dug up biosea here's Helbig dug up over the net by Devorah check last thought about it she fields it though he'll dig again through the block Jackson with me up and the Voracek runs out of room our fresh rural table here she appears to be okay but it's a point for the Rainbow Wahine how about the effort there by hi or check it out I love her from the all-american right now just based on her effort or attitude physicality what she means to this team 19 serving 17 they go outside McCroskey that one didn't get above the tape and a parabola they hit the fine loophole 20 to 17 Caroline Walters the last time out here CMAC interesting desperation time for Cal Poly they trailed by three Hawaii trying to close the deal against this very tough preseason favorite in the conference Mustangs squad if I'm not mistaken I think she's got two more challenges left I think I would have used a challenge there and rather than use it in her last timeout but we'll see how it works out I mean she can still do that going forward correct she can use it the challenges between 20 and 25 for sure but the thing about the challenges is you don't necessarily know how long those breaks will last you a trans select your exact seat locations when purchasing individual game tickets at Hawaii athletics dot-com click on the tickets button to print your tickets avoid the lines by going online again this is a match for the top spot in the conference whoever wins this one would certainly be in the pole position to win a conference championship that's ended whether cal-poly coaching SAP talked with you their team about tracking Hawaii hawaii's running some different things here latter part of this batch like slides that we haven't seemed really Hawaii ran a whole lot up there running Xing place bottom line they want their block who suggests stay home on Hawaii's hitters tracking them throughout the net and for Hawaii koji Steph really trying to get this sea motivated to finish it here they do not want to go to yet another bid set back over to you guys thanks a lot yeah but I know you want to go to a fifth set don't you cut off your dick you like those don't you I mean they're always fun to watch but I think most of the people leaning towards the team in black tonight would appreciate if they're able to wrap things up before then but again a much easier scenario said than done [Applause] [Music] quiet significantly as Troy goes into Asura the middle said it's Mercer to dig there by Van Sickle quickly set by Ross layout saved the Voracek here comes Cal Poly McCroskey is blocked and Williams got handcuffed by it off the Ricochet khalbali gets the point out of that timeout there without a timeout remaining here without a challenge remaining here the pork but she does still have one timeout in the pocket Nataly Mercer will serve sensitive as a huge break for the morning the 13th service error from Cal Poly here in this match well you know this is a team that takes a lot of chances they go out of their matches this year they start aggressive serving I think that's right now though they're being maybe a little bit too aggressive volley out a system and devorah tech two hands it over can pull what you take advantage here middle said Williams blocked over the net and roof that one cupboard above the tape for a moment and then fell down on the Hawaii side give another block the Meredith Phillips solid block by Barrett put the Norfolk sky would have a pair off just passing the ball up rather than trying to tap it over right away team's dead even in blocks then Sitka comes flying in lay out save the necroshade but he resets in transition back side it's you'll see off the fingertips good save to his style by Dixon de Fora check blocked but it goes out of bounds point free Cal Poly and looking up at the scoreboard right there the Mustangs back within a point right now she heard you she signals for a timeout if she loses her final timeout of this fourth set this is the kind of competition you expected to see here Hawaii knew this was going to be a massive weekend right Hosting new see Santa Barbara on Friday coming from behind after trailing two sets to one in that one winning 1715 in the fifth and then having to regroup having the day off yesterday because of the you H foot ball team playing and then coming back tonight against the team that swept them just last month at Mott gym in California and knowing that they would have an opportunity to sit atop the standings if they get this one you knew it would be competitive you knew Cal Poly would make it difficult and certainly in this fourth set that's exactly what we've seen and here's an interesting stat from this fourth set Cal Poly hitting 0 0 0 Hawaii hitting almost 280 182 and yet the score is almost even go figure yeah how do you account for that it's their scoring in other ways they're getting good again blocks they're still struggling digging Hawaii out digging them by 1956 237 Hawaii led offensively here tonight by Hana healthy 13 kills to go along with five blocks and the first time around healthy held to six kills in that sweep defeat against the Mustangs October 11 she hits 0 83 tonight she's at 333 meanwhile Brooke Van Sickle pitching in 12 kills McKenna Ross double figures and kills again the second straight match here this weekend she had 10 put downs against UCSB on Friday big serve coming up here out of the timeout Biden ehcache fielded by okey know Choi hi Ana way to Van Sickle cross-court the dig by Dixon backside the Voracek [Applause] [Music] with Definity we are tied at 21 Cal Poly is for three straight and devorah check on her 58 swing gets kill number 27 look pretty fresh right there you just what goes back side to Yoshio and well she's the one who likes to play between 20 and 25 right that's right she's the clutch girl this is when she starts to walk in right here always interesting to see the setter to set in connection Bailey Choi to Moreno seal 22 serving 21 and Rico Aquino behind the line gypsum sticks the pass middle said that's Phillips oke no sticks the day touch shot Ross's blocked back would save their IgD here's you'll see abused block against her [Applause] [Music] now read you'll see what can you say about she just does everything that one there she is little bit of a trap set nice dick by Okita this rally wouldn't have been won without Akeno by the way but no spy and a hard blow for block some extra moments being taken as Meredith looks was straightening out her shoelace situation now we're getting ready to get back at it let me up to alternate pass will turn play here we go free chance for Hawaii tough first pass though by Van Sickle you'll see it from off the net saved by Dixon back side the Voracek off the block of yo sia and into the pin big time missed opportunity for the bull he's really gonna do a better job they're gonna be really really good team of passionate ballplayers the broken plays we're gonna loosen these passes gotta quit the way they can have three or four attackers right now they're pushing one attacker is too easy for the other team choy backside your seal diving save Unger it has slept across by Jackson you'll see a second crack addict goes cross-court right there is the necklace edge so Dixon bump sets the bar Jeannie and cook that secretly got a piece of it [Applause] [Music] save there by under two key sequence alive and then yes I Jeannie next to Van Sickle hi Jeannie falsi only and celebrates a rude [Applause] percent for in the don't think back to the front row that's good news for Hawaii right now and look who's behind the service line it's also good news for whole life as this crowd draped in black on a blackout night at the SSC claps as you'll see it brings it across that's by Dixon backside is the flora check off the high hand saved you'll see a chance for Hawaii here volcano sets up Van Sickle she's dug up there by under the Voracek again through the block and down net violation Hawaii and it is not how yet what's it [Applause] is uncanny with the way she finds her attackers especially vivace hey she knows where her bread is buttered still Aloha PO past tight to the net one handset to IgD easy saved here for Cal Poly its Jackson off the tape saved by yoshiya he'll be from off the net against the double block it's dug up over the net played by Van Sickle Hawaii with the advantage peers have a great dig there by Dixon the swing by Dvorak done to the tape [Applause] interference the Mustangs and that gives Hawaii the victory foolish [Music] Walter's and the Cal Poly coaching staff not at all pleased by that final ruling but it does the Mustangs in and the Rainbow Wahine flip the script after suffering a sweet defeat in California at the hands of the two-time defending Conference champs and they take this one to claim first place in the Big West Conference standings now the key is they've got to run the table the rest of the way in order to really claim that title but with a huge hurdle they jump tonight it is officially in Hawaii's hands they controlled their own destiny as they will try to traverse the final four matches of the regular season on the road at UC Davis at UC Riverside and then back home to finish it off against CSUN in Long Beach State Scott Robb's is with Robin amo coach first off congratulations and also thanks to not win five sets of eight I don't know they played great today fashion was good some Wayne parts along the way so how does it feel now yeah I know you have a headache you're in first place and you control your own destiny now I didn't wear it first it's all good that's sweet it's not overseas not over how much motivation was there to get back at them for what happened at Cal Poly I mean I don't know how much motivation is for them but I don't like losing and we lost in three so I told them we got in a locker on Blake I don't know about you but I was waiting for this moment to happen go enjoy it hey guys back over to you alright thanks a lot Scott so it came down to this final call they called an interference against Madeline Mercer saying that she played the ball on Hawaii side you agree with it absolutely that was a great call Jill Forester should be commended for making a very gutsy call on match point it was absolutely the right call well the Bank of Hawaii players of the match Maya Devorah check she was a monster 29 killed you see the hitting percentage 13 digs double double performance for her double double is well on the other side for Brooke Van Sickle 12 kills hit 216 para blocks and 11 digs some other stalwart performances double double again fernery neo SIA on a he'll be leading the way in kills and McKenna Ross she goes double double ten kills and ten digs all right see Mack how big was this tonight it was huge it's about as big as it gets is one of the well the reasons why flew in from a cliff to come back to this game brilliant right like the biggest game of the year what are you doing on the mainland so I'm so glad I came back because this is this is big for a lot of reasons for RPI reasons for hosting reasons for Big West championship reasons I mean you name it go right down the line this checks all the boxes for being a huge match great win congratulations to Robin ombo and staff for putting up again put together a great game plan again you have UCSB Cal Poly Hawaii all with two losses but Hawaii by virtue of the tiebreaker formula effectively sits in first place and so it is their conference title to lose obviously also their conference title hopefully two wins that's it for us don't forget about the Heineken postgame show they're gonna break things down in the corner but for now for Chris McLaughlin I'm finola Lahey until next time everybody Aloha from the Stan Sheriff Center [Music] welcome back to the Heineken postgame show so we're back here in the corner to see them taking up the Teraflex could you have Joaquin a basketball on Tuesday against San Diego State let's see a live right here on spectrum sports but today it was Hawaii over Cal Poly in the floor of one of the reasons why I came up victorious not just today but I think Friday as well as our guests here in the corner Eco keno the Libero 10 digs tonight 20 receptions without an error even threw in a service Aysen how did you feel about this weekend going it yet 25 digs on on Friday how big was this to you personally this weekend it was the confidence base for sure and you know we work hard in practice things are in practices so it's really nice that you know I'm able to do what I do in practice in the games ok so I just want to ask are you ever sore I mean you are flying yourself everywhere on the court with I mean do you take yoga what do you do well yeah the offseason actually I did do yoga which is really really fun it's a good hobby but I mean there's a lot of adrenaline so don't really feel like you like discover like a couple bruises here and there like the next day but it's okay you know when you look at the evolution of your role and really the Libero position on this team this season it sort of been unique you know you started off as a lineup where you maybe came in and served and maybe played a few occasions because you guys run the Fort Pitt or outside system now you're back to a more traditional you're coming in for the middle what has that change been like for you to kind of going to evolve into what your role has become now well it's awesome because I feel like I can contribute more this way for sure and you know it's not really anything that I haven't done before because I mean growing up it's kind of how you know so in the beginning of season knows a little different but I didn't mind you know if I can contribute to the team I was happy to do so alright you guys have four more matches remaining you're in first place you control your own destiny you guys go back out on the road you go against Davis who gave you guys a hard time over here talk about preparing for this final road trip yeah so we in the locker and we were just talking about it you know our seasons not over yet this is a huge weekend for us so you had two two wins which is huge but you know we do need to finish this season out with four more wins so I think that we're keeping that in mind going into this week of practice and going on the road so for you when you look at your overall game what do you feel you actually have to really work on to continue to be better I mean you had a breakout weekend you hit some high records you dug twice as many balls last night and even tonight you dug more balls tonight than you did last year mm-hmm so what do you need to focus on consistency I think you know that's kind of the role that I play everybody looks to me as I mean I'm like constantly on the court so I think all around there's so much room for improvement and on top of that just being more consistent just buckling down in the passing so server see you especially yeah you know Scott just said that there's four more mattress here two more matches at home and then you guys kind of head into the postseason but you know you could be looking at your last weekend one more at home stand for you during your Rainbow Wahine career what has this experience overall been like for you and and what is the mentality going in knowing that this next time you're here could be your last weekend playing at home well it's been crazy amazing all of the above really you know as far as this being our last week at Earth next whenever we come back being the last time the Stan Sheriff I mean it's sad for sure but I think if we all we leave it all out on the court then there's nothing that we can really be too bitter about Rica congratulations keep it up next week or actually I guess technically this week on the road thank you so much Ethan wins the pride of Kalani high school Rico Aquino helping Hawaii to a four-set win over Cal Poly we'll have more when we come back [Music]
