three blocks to one right now they just a large group especially up front good dig there the net a hitter like McKenna Ross how does that affect some of the other frontline hitters for the Rainbow Wahine weekend Ross at 5:10 actually Cleo Baxter tells us that the Ross actually likes he'll be finding a way to just avoid the block altogether just bump it back over for the kill now three straight points for Hawaii is outside Stroud Asya merci what UC Davis hit tablets prior to the timeout now a full run for the Rainbow Wahine and asserting themselves the tape fuckos a smart shot by the Yogi's

[Music] [Applause] Strauss's there's no force trail she's had three straight matches with double figures in the kill department sky Williams had the first touch there on that serve you'll see it will dink it over Aggies on the attack off of one foot it's raucous block out a good chunk there so I want you playing it back raus them off the net and they just roll shot it across highball pump set off of one leg and then they've been out pole mattes sent it deep disappoint for David it was definitely out I think had a hell big thought there was a touch maybe on the block give the kill to mattes the top hitter for UC Davis ebony 3.5 kills per set Williams couldn't put it down back row set and that's very starti whose foot was on that three meter line so give the point to Hawaii on the violation the officiating prove daphne Nelson once again atop the ladder the r-1 Ernie hoedown on the floor and the line judges mark Nakashima and Dean Tamura Ross floats it deep williams is able to smother that would be tip shop now mattis up the fingertips kept alive by Ross outside here's he'll be through the block and down in terms of her target tree here early but that one was pure her rhythm at time he has not been quite there but that was what the very sharp the great scent from the yoshiya my bathing joints are middle said that's raucous backed up there by Rico Kino you'll see her the old to the shoulder old shop [Applause] he's a magician so many talents to see anything as well not just a setting not just the jumpsuit but she's got shots like that over and down but what he in front for the first time in this opening frame but it was short-lived as McKenna Ross coming off of a win Friday night against UC Riverside a sweet victory [Applause] it'll say there's Williams going over the triple-t on another I guess they knew that balls being stuck the sky Williams that I kiss every block that was there six hands across the sky says okay get put six bucks six hands across watch me go over all six of them [Applause] [Music] and it is Rico Latino to serve Hawaii up 12:11 first meeting here in this 2019 conference season between the Rainbow Wahine and the Aggies and learn medicine away in the lumber there a 6-2 senior from Santa Cruz California coming into this week six among Big West hitters in kills per set three and a half percent fifty two forty she's the leading scorer 4.1 plates percent sure those high ball outside the helvey and that was a heater [Music] don't be as bad as putting a little show on the outside queen balls in one struck in fun see what helvey has done a little bit of an uptick in Big West Conference play becoming the primary target offensively for the poles as that one was hit firmly by mahalia white six-foot redshirt sophomore from an older park an incredible story considering what she has been through the last year Big West Freshman of the year two years ago Big West first team did yes sir Ross from the back row is there a touch up front no touch it sails long and a pampered date with Sienna Haley a white - in December of 2017 was diagnosed with stage four Hodgkin's lymphoma had to enter chemotherapy missed all of last season throughout her recovery comes back this season according to Dan Connors she's as strong and physically capable as she has ever been as evidenced by that hit and then springing back up to joust at the Med [Applause] Strela is blocked back trouble get another crack at it and she lays it down point for the Aggies they're up to [Music] I'll just be standing on the outside good coverage that time by Sheila ha [Applause] time to urge the home team on and maybe getting an assist on that service error tightly contested first frame wouldn't you say we were surprised but this is a good team they're they're big and talented they're physical real coached LV fix that Mandy here's oh in the middle and that is tough to stop right there six six swinging 371 hitting percentage for old she's also the team's leading blocker coming into this match third in the league in hitting percentage sixteen serving 14 LV overpass easy pickins for Alexa raucous in company - Hannity's pick just a little bit too much on it one foot on Vegas by three and that one sails on [Applause] [Music] you may notice Hawaii for the first time this year born with the new uniforms interestingly enough they're new you knees with a retro look they have the retro logo aligning the front outside that is had been going with some pre-orders they had to wait a little extra long to get their new what we're supposed to be intended to be these game jerseys from Under Armour and then they got out to such a great start that Robin amo being the superstitious head coach that she is she didn't want to change the deal with the world for the first time wearing these jerseys Jenna Ross is double dug up along the back line by mattis and then Strout now kills putting Davis up for look of concern here from Robin ah mole still put up see some good swings for over blocks and tooling the end blocker what he needs to convert here slide goes to Westerberg and she thinks it oh so narrowly over that proposed one and now you made an interesting point regarding the tip shots from Olli side against the big team chooses do a lot of tipping tonight I think it's to their disadvantage because that block is so big to tip over it it's got to be in the air longer which is going to allow the back row to get to the ball more easily so look more I should just bang away at the big block in world place though but Hawaii Tran by three the block is up there on the slide the raucous stroll from off the net and save two-handed style volcano may have been an alcohol Ross vanish stopped [Applause] block for UC Davis right now working they have four total team blogs in this opening frame alone raucous got most of that one she knows how to celebrate - does she know Chow raucous causing quite the ruckus there at the net that serve goes long and that's been kind of the saving grace here for Hawaii in just staying afloat in this first set couple of recent service errors by the Aggies here is McKenna Ross he fills the other night versus UC Riverside and that one's smoking down the line [Applause] an assault big West Elementary she's now just starting to see they recreate the number she did in her freshman year coming off of a 24 kill match in their last win against CSUN here Skye Williams was able to put it where no IDs were and that time the tip shot works again for Hawaii I've really been able to get closer than this range here over the last several points Rico keno now to serve seven service aces on the season for okie no pass there by Reyes and then the block is up on mattis they keep it alive though Matt is tough angle and she's able to tool the block anyway that is a veteran swing right there by Lauren mattes this at 6:00 - but she is long she plays like she's sick school and so a timeout signal by Robyn amo trouble [Music] now's the time to stay local and play local with aqua Aston hospitalities kama'aina staycation deal learn more at aqua austin.com and we'll see you in five what are you doing

great diving save in the back row to keep it alive for the Aggies el vehicle that set a little tight to the antenna so now the Libero Shira Lahab sets up white she can't put it down Ross in the back row to hands it over a net violation against Davis and that was a late whistle Hawaii's coaching staff was trying to call attention to it and it took several moments for that to finally be the ruling like Joe's EO came into the twine that time 19 serving 22 here's you'll see a long [Applause] some time for the service error therefore bowls why is yeah three service mirrors exactly the same as the Aggies he wrote poems from madis but passed their bio Kino middle said IgD [Music] Jeannie hammering Hawaii's first point of this set one and getting that one to bring Hawaii to 20 even if a sense even the pass is not perfect it often is the best time to go to the Millers the other team is not expecting it that is an example of a genie definitely ready for anything house an overpass resulting in the Hawaii Smackdown courtesy McKenna Ross with into timeout UC Davis and things getting a bit interesting here down the stretch of this first frame the tech solid survey it's one of things I think that Rob and I both emphasized over for entire tenure is she wants a team that serve stuff that forces the other teams to really struggle passing really get them out of their offense get them out of the system so to speak that's my boy that's what's brought Hawaii back so far getting back into this match uhf lytx reaches out to you online each week with updates and promotions through its H mail enewsletter to register visit Hawaii athletics calm and click on the H mail button it's simple and it's free UC Davis hitting 281 here through this first set Hawaii batty 250 the blocks have been in favor so far of the Aggies which is somewhat to be expected even though Hawaii has better overall blocking numbers the egg is just so big a front moving a one-player the center is five nice so she's got three rotations when they have an on six footer and the blocking rotation all the other three rotations they've got very large human beings out there blocking the ball [Music] dan Conner said he thinks that - the key to his team winning tonight they got a serve time better get Hawaii out of system and hope that their outside hitters did not get out of system Falls very well I mean it sounds somewhat simplified and obvious but that seems to be the blueprint when Hawaii has struggled they have struggled primarily in the service received Department exactly on a healthy big serve coming out of the timeout here good then gets the Aggies off the net white from the opposite position just lays into it mahalia white 3.2 kills per set that second on the team and it's a little ball for the Aggies in said one hit that with authority that was not an easy set to hit either [Applause] [Music] [Applause] sheral aha when the Bharath from israel serves it down the line and why [Music] the ball for the Aggies [Music] Rahan Wahine interns in the service [Applause] crowd quiets it's a deep fly ball set Strela up the fingertips hits Kai Williams on the dole minutes returned by Westerberg here's white black out a piece healthy can't get there and white closes the door on the Rainbow Wahine in [Applause] 5:22 as expected showing up ready to battle buckle up what he's got his work cut out for [Music] this presentation of Rainbow Wahine volleyball is sponsored by Bank of Hawaii and Hawaii Honda dealers welcome back UC Davis takes set1 25:22 it's a good combo for the Aggies out hitting and oates locking the Rainbow Wahine Chris I'll block your socks they're blocking Hawaii for two to lose a little bit clock put up on healthy and yet another one more blocks all together [Music] I really took Hawaii out of their offense I think shook the confidence will put their part of the hitters are concerns the hitters for UC Davis is the only Strela with four kills hitting 200 Lauren mattis 4 kills hitting 500 without an error how about my Haley a white three kills on six attempts hitting 333 so again Davis hit 314 as a squad in the first set for total team blocks compared to 250 percentage-wise for the bows and two blocks remember they out hit Cal Poly who's been at the top early going here out hit him by 90 points of law student 5 on the road yeah the only five set match they have lost this season they're four and one in five setters and as mentioned their last three matches have all gone the distance but Dan Connor said yeah that's the one that got away at Cal Poly in Mott Jamie said we feel like we should have won that match he says that this team is very young you know they got the two freshmen one senior a junior of course sophomore in the starting lineup so he says they're growing every game sometimes they grow faster than others and sometimes they look like a very young team like that that's a case in point right there yeah he says my ceiling low bottom you're missing a wide-spectrum n't the same can be said describing the rainbow wahine at times in the one common theme you got a lot of youth and inexperience on both sides I would totally agree we can I Ross with the surge or what he won nothing here to start set to and that's pole getting under it sends it long so positive start here to open second frame Porthos last time these two teams met up in this building was on senior night last November for the Rainbow Wahine by way of a sweeping loss serves it into the twine so already a more positive opening to this match compared to the last meeting in here [Music] Jane Sessler good job she's done filling in at the center position for a day the squad that lost its two top setters to centers that shared the starting responsibilities the last season as sky Williams puts it down nice job thanks Kai Williams just put that back two days without opening part of the floor is you taking her wrist away shot away so she just fine I'll go the other direction she's really the toured as a middle of chocolate Sessler sets up mattes she's able to plug it through that for what you double block that's one of the more comfortable blocking combos that the rainbow wahine have to offer right there the freshman tandem of amber ogia [Music] the first touch there by he'll be here you'll see if in the opposite position [Music] great match the other night for the Senior Center slash hitter / you name it she went for another double-double 17 assists 18 digs three kills in an ace against Riverside her 55th career double-double performance she's now posted double doubles in class seven outings about that I would give her a triple double for that night the other one will be double figures in leadership that's right she's like the coach in the floor and Robin totally trusting she's would be a very good coach on the floor you might want to just give her triple figures in that department forces the overpass they're healthy and she just seems to be a little out of sort this evening it's usually a play that she is much more sure at least in terms of her decision to either go up and snake it or to play it on holy sign now that obviously the gutter off play running great play off of it as opposed to thinking attacking her serving your team or said last two serves on my team here comes the high ball pump said she sends it wide was there a touch no touch that's a point for Davis so he'll be hidden in negative numbers [Music] took the bench she now heads to the Hawaii bench and he has received a DNP each of the last two images on the floor for the rainbow wahine so Robin Anmol he never hesitates to make a change doing just that hi Gina gets rope solo-style Alexa raucous denying access this goes up that's the fourth pipe she's been in the block that's her first walks over the great night of sin yep Davis vaults in front after a three-point run a lot of confidence this special occasion of the Stan Sheriff Center Wagner the tip shot Waggener the six-foot freshman from dublin ohio the first ever rainbow wahine to hail from the state of ohio averaging one point four eight kills per set hitting a buck thirty-nine and really it's that hitting percentage that I think at times has fallen short of even her expectations in this her freshman campaign as white splits the uprights on the block dug up biosea here's Ross put a little extra sauce on it for these seniors on the roster this is a very young roster for the Aggies as and cuff their free ball sent the Aggies way outside Strela to hand save there you'll see a Latino blind back bump set to Ross roll shot diving saved in the back row there by mattis and in the middle going off the blocking down as a raucous and the Aggies right now making all of the right decisions and pushing all the right buttons causing a ruckus up there it's not a 5-1 run for UC Davis walking well Julie attacking either way she's making like visible for the Rainbow Wahine spoil block that one back on her tippy toes here's Wagner from the backline [Music] very confident swing there by ryley wagon let's go for some confidence your numbers are low but when I the 112 should be at least SS should be outside here like hanging around 250 at least proved very on her mettle this season as a six rotation player Hana Wahine serves it into the net but as is the case with a lot of freshmen you wear deeper into the season when we start to see some inconsistencies and I think that's what Ragnar is now fighting for here at this stage great opportunity now to get back into that starting rotation first touch there on the money mitah sec williams couldn't put a lot of Hoops into it but it winds up Mikael anyway unable to conjure up the save with Reyes the sky Williams it's again proving to be a weapon offensively for the Rainbow Wahine his kill number for five attempts still error-free the league I believe [Music] [Applause] the middle set raucous and we got a net violation against Hawaii people and bill against sky aliens [Applause] [Music] you may have got a little bit of a piece at the top of the table [Applause] [Music] to call that a little athletic justice for those who didn't feel like it was a net violation a moment ago it was Rossi to serve outside mattis pumps it long but there was a touch Madison for a little bit of anger in your Sears six kills one air hitting 455 she's their go-to gal she could disperse the most points over he wasn't sure as you'll see a two golfers up the tip shot again what a time he saved there by Lahab the swing by white and she is just firing right now and UC Davis up a three spot here in set 2 all smiles on the side of the Aggies concern on the other side of the net welcome back we'll put a look at some of the Twitter talk that's going on right now hashtag SSC memories this is from Ryan sitting at the top of the stand watching Hawaii basketball knock off a nationally ranked Michigan State squad never heard it louder of course the star advertisers been counting down some of the great moments in the history of this building we're celebrating its 25th year anniversary here tonight as you see agos cross courting in the timeout that was certainly up there Hawaii then head coach Riley Wallace taken downtown as a squad you had of course the epic upset in the rainbow classic Hawaii over number two Kansas tell us one of your favorites cause this is one of my favorites for sure especially Aaron Galloway and that spot along the baseline just a few of the many break welcome back tonight's Jack fact this is pretty mesmerizing packing the house how about over 25 years a total of three million three hundred eight thousand and ninety seven fans not including tonight pass through the turnstiles at the Stan Sheriff Center to watch Hawaii Rainbow Wahine volleyball and of course the general manager of the arena since its opening rich sheriff next to the bust of his father the late Stan Sheriff who was a primary reason why this wonderful facility came to fruition and why we are celebrating 25 years of its existence here tonight the legislature convinced them that this was not to be a 75 min ago five thousand seat arena this needs to be ten thousand that's right he was absolutely a stickler when it came to the details of a a ten thousand seat arena or something within that significant range in on campus he had to fight both of those battles as you take a look at rich that's right celebrating as much as anybody here but he had to go to battle on those two fronts for a while before getting this Josie Oh that just makes it look so easy at six six it's almost as if she can place it down on the tariff lights she pretty much goes over any middle block that she faces he was sure Aloha that when tickled the tape somehow Wagner got the pass here's Westerberg dug up along the back line by madis white with the swing down the line and in mahalia white is a locked in right now that's five kills for her she's hitting around 400 and that one earned a fist pump by head coach Dan Connors although she was asked about what will she change in volleyball she like could have the six rotations all stay in the fella that sir is gonna go to the back row not ever having to play in the background yeah just swinging away all day goes into the time what has been you think the biggest challenge for Hawaii so far they have found themselves sort of within this margin of deficit really through sets one and the majority said to I think it's there [Applause] two-sixty say the office has not been good boy that's because the the Davis block has been so solid licensed appraiser just what the victim has really been the only saving grace right now for Hawaii occasional service error for Davis to try to hold some of our momentum but the Aggies hitting 500 in set 2 compared to that buck 33 you mentioned on the Hawaii side crack the egg news for plates you cut off his passing the ball well utilizing their size up first we're getting some good blocks quick touches the serve set outside that's 12 and that violation called against Hawaii it doesn't matter it's a point for Davis they are just flicking right now this is a UC Davis team how about this record split a to know at home this year only 5 coming into tonight in true road matches they are looking to change that record if at all possible here in the Stan Sheriff Center [Applause] outside its McKenna Ross let's sell you one Rossi has gone up and taken some very aggressive swings here the last two matches make name than the last three matches she really has decided Santa Barbara round the roads right she really started to write about there I've got 12 kills and you get over 300 we just have a huge night very important win for Hawaii on the road and she played well on Friday as well good cover there by Wagner Choi those highball the Ross blocked back Wagner keeps alive and returned by Choi outside and it is Madison an end to that rally great effort by Wagner and Hawaii put madis proving to be the great equalizer here for UC Davis good solid block there great scrappy pursuit by Hawaii and you finally Madison just doing a job on the outside [Applause] and time again when Hawaii can put that first can s on point it opens up the opportunity to set the Middle's and Skye Williams has been fantastic and it's gone her way as now five kills for her hitting 833 easier said than done though with this Davis serving squad and Josie oh speaking of work in the middles oh now with three kills on four swings because Fidelia white back into the game [Applause] this is a pretty nice line use a tough front low right now for you she gave us Williams three Bayley Troy deciding to just challenge the big six six blocker in the middle William just powered it through Lee knew the bottles going to her head two blockers out that's unusual middle sent what needs a run right now in the worst way fifteen serving 18 overpass Wagner couldn't get it down advantage Aggies Dwight I tell you what she is just firing from that right shoulder [Applause] [Music] [Applause] fittin to 80 on the season I'm a healthy now back in to the match for Hawaii see if maybe a little bleep stint on the bench go to a right away server doctor recalibrate thing is unable to get it down there don'ts that goes to strelsau close up lock back kept alive by la jolla diving saved there along the sideline by choy so you'll see a sets of healthy off the blocking down maybe some rest time on the sideline to help Tanana to get her together say bye daddy Troy they took that rally alive help big boy high hands go to the point the advantage there of having you'll see it in the front row as a hitter when Bailey is the setter you have two centers on the floor and you'll see it was able to snag the assist there on that sequence heavy-handed serve handled well though and white just through the blocking down she has been right now vast majority of this match she was punishing why he's blockers hands penitent Jane incessant familiy where white hands at all times and feeding her as much as possible she has the hot hand right now the healing away as evidenced by eight kills hitting 583 right side healthy [Applause] to trail by three by the way Raylan Akana on the floor for the rainbow wahine six-foot freshman of Kamehameha kapalama in the front row another freshman come out healthy getting ready to serve there's Braylon ninth set of this season has provided a spark though at times into that match against Cal State Fullerton and she loomed large comes up with the save there Ross the tip shot blocked back rattled around and down so give davis the roof couple of six footers and we're gonna have a challenge here this may be more strategic than anything else robbing a mall without any timeouts here in this second set and so she is able to use this as a quasi timeout as n go gets ready to look I'm not exactly sure the aspect of what is being challenged just yet that violation possibly [Music] you know this whole challenge system has changed the whole strategy notion which is nobody they really basically have two timeouts plus they've got three challenges of all life [Music] for a net violation he says he what Robin I'm always challenging there was a violation there on the Davis side didn't appear as though there was at least from that angle to be a pretty telling angle the net cam and in fact Ernie ho we'll be robbing our lowest his fries there as mentioned his most strategy than anything Hillary rockets were Brock bluebirds five she's really been tough at the net and Dave is now out blocking Hawaii six two team in this match you simply turn our employers used to be dominating with the me cozy pits that pass on the money westenberg in the middle couldn't get it flushed the big swing there by stroll played off the block by Ross back row said he'll be blocked back thumb set goes to Ross on the outside off the fingertips kept alive by mattis here's mattis from the back row when she launches it beyond man [Applause] one of the lengthier rallies that actually went Hawaii's way David Davis I think has been the more patient team tonight there's Warren Rollins just waiting for Hawaii to make a mistake [Applause] [Music] here's one he named this so that's raucous with the left hand saved by Hana Wahine and then tipped over by Williams step out goes to raucous diving saved by Helbig and nobody home to get her back that just seems to be the pattern that we are seeing every single way he has gotten it within three or two Davis has ended their opportunity to string together around not playing like a team that may had some misgivings about plane oh and five-inch reload matches this year they look as confident as anybody we're coming into one of the toughest places in the country before Stan Sheriff Center converts and I got it you got it nobody gets it play for the Bulls it is 23 serving 18 this is a Hawaii team that is frankly rattled right now lúcia backside it's Westerberg dug up there by Sparky mattis gets it down again eight kills for Lauren mattis Medus and white with a combined 16 kills Madison 400 white hitting 538 when your two top guns are pumping like that good luck makes for a tall order to stop boy struggling we need to dig them or block them you see a phrase I decide to cross the dank diving save there by race snapped across Hawaii in transition step out Westerberg the offs Peter finds the floor it remains a local ball in favor of the Aggies here and set to pop up my revs to keep the rally alive birdie does not get all of that one knows the score nevertheless [Applause] [Music] 19 serving 24 and Bailey Troy behind the service line outside mattis locked out a peace scramble play here by Hawaii to get it back over mattis a second time by the double block two hands saved there Choi bump set back row to he'll dig by the Rainbow Wahine to salvage the point break dig with the heels while you'll see her right there nice little pop-up by the kokino Helbig finishes but it remains a little ball here on set to little said raucous the save along the back line by healthy right side here's Josi [Applause] [Music] center-to-center show it to yo SIA works every time well Davis has a bit of breathing room but Dan Connors ain't messing around with Hawaii finding any semblance of rhythm here he signals for a time out he wants to make sure that his team is ready to try to finish this second set he knows he's got one more time out left so quite weird to score again he call another timeout if he wants let's send it over to Ryan Cole a suti what you got hey Kunal well midway through this set at 9 to 11 Robin Homolka Santos was forced to call that time because there was a miscue in substitutions when they put Braille in a Cana in they did not actually sub out Andrew amber IgD so Robin was forced to call that timeout early use her challenge card adds a third time out that we saw moments with one right now Jolie Rasmussen is actually involved in the huddle as well remember this is a player who has been out for a number of weeks now spent the majority part of this first half of this huddle talking directly to Noreen Yosi about her hitting selections and her shots good to see Rasmussen still involved with his team back over to you guys good observation there Ryan yeah Jolie Rasmussen who told me prior to the match we've talked so much about all of the injuries that she's had to endure and her career both had Oregon and now at Hawaii she says she did the math that when it comes to missed matches she has missed 53% of her collegiate career and so you just hope and pray that she is able to find her way back out onto the floor because she deserves that chance she is such a talented player there is another former Oregon Duck that Hawaii turn to they say that Brooke Van Sickle Jolie's former teammate over there in Eugene is cleared to play was available the other night she is standing at the end of the bench we have yet to see her here in this one but that is another option for Robin amo if need be as toy out of the timeout serves it gives of the twine and that's how set to UC Davis has played three straight five set matches for Hawaii to win welcome back let's take a look at the McDonald's match statistics Hawaii up against it right now see Mack trailing o to Hawaii hitting their normal to 60s about what the hit for the year but look at UC Davis's numbers they're hitting it 360 of 400 points higher and they're out blocking Hawaii 6 to 2 those are big numbers bigs about even a stairs for Hawaii's got it ha Davis has a couple of aces Wyatt you have to get an ace that is rare as well so that's often it to the Aggies for playing such good volleyball tonight in an arena that is not easy to play good volleyball against the whole team well mahalia white has brought it here this evening eight pills just one error to speak of she's hitting up at 5:30 a scene so it's littered up yes it's so hard loves claimant for Ellen she gets up there she is something else and Addis is another one he's regular eight kill she said 353 she's doing all kinds of ways to cut back shot down the line she was cross-court snow approached her nose was angled and he tools the block again she goes inside the block there hits it hard has been very effective to the 360 hitting everything well Mike Machado who does some work with us here for spectrum Sports hashtag SSC memories he takes to Twitter at play Stanley going for 50 kills day on militina had 21 blocks for UCLA in a 1999 MPSF men's volleyball playoff match add that one to the list classic memories here in this building Hawaii moment of truth for the Rainbow Wahine as amber IgD starts off set three the way she started off set one win the put down and Hawaii seeking a start goes to Brooke van cigarette apart she might see some action just some different energy out there different chemistry is ready he musica great memories for this places Angela good question Robin um oh they were here hurried those early days and gave us all sorts of good memories how about they played in the very first match ever hosted here at the Stan Sheriff Center into that in a moment three chance here for the Aggies right side set goes to mattis and the killed party continues the senior swinger about senior to play with such passion in such a sense of urgency knowing that their days are numbered in this era he gets the booty back - so this Brooklyn bands Sigma missed three matches but quickly the pole was confirmed by Daphne Nelson so the point as it currently stands belongs to Hawaii what do you think here see Mac I think I think that I wasn't a bit I don't think there's a back row attack I think just a good tap down by Scott Williams ball is on her side she overpass right goes cross-court [Music] there's another point for the Rainbow Wahine and a timeout taken by UC Davis Rainbow Wahine trying to pick themselves up campus next weekend tune in to spectrum OC 16 sports for the HHS a a girls volleyball championship from Spectrum X cast on Friday at 5 p.m. for the d1 semifinals and Saturday starting at 5 p.m. for the d2 and d1 championship games loaded tournament field on both fronts the live action out of the time back to work that seven put-downs she is still without a hit in Flemish in this match relegating but her blogging has been phenomenal five blocks for the one block sola gracia backside here's Helvey got under it [Applause] [Music] it is her sixth hitting error so that will get her to triple zeros in the hitting percentage Department Robin quickly challenging she is going to challenge whether or not there was a touch on the block these are the hardest now replays I think to call it the business the touch is usually so India Testament is so difficult to see to look for finger bending back it's trying to look for the ball to change its spin and rotation change direction really hard to say [Music] anything definitive video there's enough evidence there - over over true [Music] a major storyline here is the fact that you look at the top two hitters for the UC Davis Aggies Madison white they're hitting 300 and 400 respectively and you look at the top hitter for the Rainbow Wahine and trying to harp on Hanah healthy but she's got six kills she's flatlining it at the moment it's hard to overcome when your go-to player just isn't like feeding three at the moment as the ball is up help filter and you're like yeah but if she finds her rhythm like a huge difference the outcome of this to be able to tell you that and I think that's what we have seen in the past is that even mid match she can get on a hot streak in some zest on that swing that Maggie's return writing from off the net outside its Trell off the fingertips then cover there by us see a bunch that goes to hell v blocked and roofed straddle and raucous three straight points ripped off by Davis it's a six four and six to block up there good hustle by rockets to get to the outside what's trill we've got most of that [Music] turn up the volume knob again you'll see a backhoe set then sickle off the block and down welcome back bro absolutely the official welcoming back to action for Brooke Van Sickle Richard Washington the three transfers from Oregon along with Kyra Han Wahine and Joe Lee Rasmussen [Music] nice pass off a very tough serve outside Strela block got a touch Van Sickle a little late to respond there [Music] say when you haven't seen the live bullet so to speak for weeks it takes a bit of an adjustment period yeah throughout that touch the gothcorp off a chip a change direction too quickly there it's not too big of a wagon middle cent Williams block is waiting for her she tips it up and then sickle has to to hand it over big advantage here for the Aggies slide goes to rock his diving save and sickle you'll see on the swing kept alive by UC Davis what a layout second touch by Starkey here is you'll see again [Applause] yup a pair [Applause] great dick the bat by Van Sickle played defense my UC Davis hit the ball on the inline both teams really laying it all out on the line only the defense is gonna win a lot of these battles here to the headset they're the Rockets who finds the floor so she has eight kills with errors of his senior you'll see his numbers as of late five kills for the lean no errors for her either she's hitting 625 10 assists 7 digs and a block just another day in the office sweet typical array of numbers and Sequoia [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] maybe disrupt the doctor or get Griffin six back into the lineup point all those games were sings to playing with rasmussen in Van Sickle all of a sudden they're buff gone it's really forced robbing a motive changed the lineup so many ways with so many buttons [Music] mattes plucked kept alive though by the laverre Aloha Manas a second time and you can't give her multiple opportunities probability percentages start to tilt in her favor significantly great save there by Cheryl aha we will complaint like that she says the step corals hits cross-court with heat gets the point Joey outside Van Sickle by Lahav that was on the money madness is blocked mattes diving into the sinus to try to keep it alive good to see her smile that is an indication she's okay but give another point to the rainbow wahine you'll see it gets most of this walking try to chew her I'm not just a setter here I can block too is the question she's now behind the line to serve those long words she's Career Service paces list last time out against a little soft here's white big save [Applause] [Music] [Applause] this one thing about hard hitter sometimes comes back harder then you hit it and that's an example a genie was about after that credit like that for lazy like she's having so far coming into the week tops in the Big West Conference and blossom as an emphatic and moments ago over Davis as they have done all night very coolly responds and gets the ensuing point outside there's Wagner down the line and wide point per UC Davis and Robin emoto's to the bench she's thinking perhaps about some other options here always with the wheels turning you can see and sit the perfect pass right side it's helping and that one will end up in the seats [Applause] [Music] perfect cast by Dan sickles I GD to be a decoy the middle gave Hana he'll dig a split block she's beasts on that how much of that is you feeling you'll see it just thinking we gotta get Hana going thank Chi very easily could have set the middle there for a high percentage attack she went Hannah's way on that one I totally agree she's got a different role and sickle from the back row good cover there by Hana Wahine a free ball coming though for the Aggies can they convert outside Stroud blocked [Applause] that might get hotter going [Applause] my turn sky winds could not get out there she thought a plane was to be rubbed the middle so she committed in the middle jumped up muscle to get out there and just couldn't quite make it but luckily Nana was there waiting third block for Hawaii in this third set there's white block again getting a good touch but then Williams swiped at it twice to put together the puzzle that leads to a comeback here down over to see a backside healthy [Applause] [Music] [Applause] that's the header we're used to don't you think good rhythm nice approach saw it armed sweet split block and then the signature smile and a big smile yeah I'm sure no back row looks like Haley choice frankly and that aspect of the system 13 serving 14 we are important must win third set for the Rainbow Wahine backs against the wall very Starkey the silly pass tight to the net and that's gonna be a Hawaii point they knew called interference there against raucous and Dan Connors not happy about that ruling and he is the conversation of Ernie hole while clutching the challenge code that is not a challenge aboard so the peg remains with the Rainbow Wahine even it was challengeable I think he'd lose the challenge again on the Bulge pulling wife's idea raucous gets it right back [Applause] fourteen serving 50 the ability to respond by UC Davis all yeah exactly Derek Carr told us before the game you said the number one card it was channels their resilience think it bounced back to anything romantically trying to foul injury so far looking so good because she just shoved it that one down the line what does she bring to this what you renting his defense since passing these power attackee at the rat-faced tooling off the unblocker he brings a decent block for voice better balcazar checked inside and that one miss time woke up by Wagner [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Oh terrific dig right on the neck to avoid to go to play baby Troy put up a nice set 31 to Gaetti you know block her up Dino into the tenth service error of the match for Hawaii compared to zero service cases we don't often see that ratio from this usually you'll see who's got two or three by that who is the sophomore seller from San Francisco gents SE and until the week tops in the league in assists per set here's you'll see Oh put it down that's kill number six when the rain [Applause] she now retreats back behind the line solar system change the location versus the service though should it be left side the clutch is going to the right where I think she's more effective in general mattis she gets the set on the opposite side and is able to just find the scene between all those white jerseys pretty scrappy see a backside here Van Sickle one blocker up it's mahalia white and she does the deed [Applause] nice reach overbite mihály your white fits all at hand position penetrating over the dip see ya sets up and sickle the fingertips in down decided to go hi hands that time I eat up to tennis is on the year for Van Sickle [Applause] back straight up in the air by Strela sent to mattes then sick of the did chance for Hawaii outside it goes to Wagner the tip shot finds the floor another point for the rainbow wahine in may reach the 20-point flat so here in set three trying to call it a comeback welcome back let's check out the first wine Bank top three we're looking at career women's volleyball victories in the Stan Sheriff Center in Lily komoku with many of her colleagues and contemporaries near the top of the list but she is the Queen at 84 total victories Lauren Duggan's Melissa Villa Roman my Augustin and Kim Willoughby each with 79 that was a prolific era for then head coach Dave Shoji in this Rainbow Wahine program three action pillar right blast off the block [Applause] Davis because of textbooks in perception that time by Cheryl Hoffa in Israel three years of the vigil to live and play the under-20 European Championship so she's got international experience oh just a muddy house officer just gets it over the net it's been sickle sets of Wagner to blockers up diving save Lahav and it'll be returned free chance for the Wahine a backside helbig off the block good cover there by white white gets the set off the block and down what a transition by the Aggies and they are within a digit here in set 3 sit by Sessler their shitty turn site sideways to the dead parallel to the debt to make that play if she turned her in the other way that put the victor she admitted for sure not an easy set to make help the amount of opportunities buddy able to terminate their as that serve goes along it looked like it was going to sail way out that almost curled down to just get a piece of that in line it was just mere inches out of bounds sure Wahab she's a good she's really good play right there gonna happen slick Dan Connors is gonna want to challenge that it was diving it looked like it was destined for the parking lot and then all of a sudden it was narrowly in a sand so we'll see here via the replay Dan Connors thinking it was at least close enough to justify a challenge Ernie ho take a look at this [Applause] do you think that will it's pretty simple easy it's an easy code it's not touching it white at all all right see Mack on the record with confidence yeah call will be up him absolutely all right [Music] and all those now [Music] [Applause] this was a lot closer than it appeared as though it would be challenges wonder one them Robins got water colleagues answered they both lost won the chess match off the up to its white from the opposite position and she just put a pounding on that set that is tenem expelled from the Haley way split blocks by limbs could not get there in time what a story having to recover from stage 4 Hodgkin's lymphoma [Music] gets the point on the pill for the rainbow wahine but then Connor is talking about mahalia white saying she is just a wonderful presence on this team and really tremendous human being when Apple teammate great player to coach and to endure what she has endured and to come up with this level of confidence and contribution it really is striking to see [Applause] strikes again in the middle [Applause] big-block Barry Gary Connors out of timeouts ten seconds down lessons Berger uses challenges twenty three serving twenty here's toy won't sit over outside it goes to stroll fine force into that opposite corner [Music] nice drill after a big start slow down a bit no she's got her seventh kill three years ago she had a really big starting to first set the really gave the Aggies a lot of momentum that's Barry Starkey freshman from Bakersfield first touch there by Ross outside it's you'll see oh did that hit the pin yes it did point Davis and they're pumping fists on their side of the

entering the weekend of what he Thompson Big West Conference in blocking although they had been out blocked in five of the freebie coming into tonight still trailing by one in that department but that is such a key component when things are going it's a huge difference the boys Twitter time that's right beating number to Florida in five during the 2015 season that was a special night hashtag SSC memories we appreciate all of the contributions it's been a little bit of a walk through memory lane and calling upon some of the nostalgia over 25 years of this tremendous facility will stand Sheriff Center [Music] maybe we're in for another memorable evening who knows so what you able to avoid the sweep still plenty of work in front of it though as we enter into set number four how did they turn it around though and set for me to finally break through well first of all I put brickbats sickle back in she was you know who the top three field hitters on the team before she went down with an injury it's not a return I think it's really made a big difference I think on a healthy playing better in this in the third set made a big difference and the block returning made a big difference you'll see us serving to start to set for [Applause] and Regina right there just shuffled out nothing fancy about her footwork there just shuffled out to the outside went up with kinda hell victim two of the better blocking tandems got a piece there on the old swing maddis took a little something off layout save Wallace right side Helbig [Applause] now the crowds getting into a balance started lining up who don't like him just blocking attacking is a great gig right there or I just played better volleyball now lately Niecy Davis has really dominated a heck of a stretch patch there by McKenna Ross mahalia light back into the match for UC Davis in the back row she gets the set dug up by Yosi oh hi GD pumps sets Helbig from off the net dug up over by white chance for the bows outside it's been sitting down for the first three inset for the energy and Hawaii side of the net has picking changed the mental is shifted there's a split block but Van Sickle takes advantage of it this arena is just changing right now we're gonna work we're gonna shift see ya now the good serve brings the center Sessler off the nets white from the back row igt got a good chunk of that one out the net here's Ben sickle cross-court hit the line judge in the foot easy called America is the case as long as the line judge is standing outside the court [Applause] UC Davis on the board here in the hole it took the first two sets we win the first true road match of the season Calvi down the line [Music] [Applause] I'm not taking a little something change of pace which i think is a good idea for she was hitting all out I think too much the first couple sets is not under control you know she's really picking her spots a little bit better only taking low out swings but she knows she has a great set and that's gonna be a miss handling the center in to try to get across ports of white and it came out a little awkwardly according to the top efficient that me Nelson he would happen at the end of play though white took a big swing at it and he'll be gutter foxhole just in case the Coco hens were calling just a good measure middle that's Oh blocked back by IG d here's white on the outside [Music] and smoke tail heylia whiteness UC Davis's first ever Big West Conference freshman of the year back in 2017 is also a first tumor in the Big West for a red shirting last year recovering from cancer [Music] [Applause] her return to action this season here she is in the opposite side walk got some finger tips on it simple unable to come up with a save every time it seems like UC Davis gets into trouble but go to white but she gets him out of trouble three serving five Madison Missouri UCF has to chase it down that set off the mark Wallace was blocked Helbig somehow gets the set and the swing give the assistant my G that was not a very pretty way there are some good digging out of the vent there by this amber IG she gets the assist hub of the blonde back pump set by Amber IgD there's the end of the play by healthy to starting to feel it right now bleeding a little mood sir most smiles in the Hawaii side of the net [Applause] [Music] you're useless that's all [Applause] [Music] it's Burton that's her second she ever say boys 11 for serving six very much on the heels here in set poor unsaid goes to hell d2 blockers up and she went up over the block another changeup type of hit and found that deep corner I like that swing she's not going Peter takes Nathan Hockley that area the court is open broke two appliances a nice job of adjusting there and again not playing through to the back row giving away here - Bailey Choi seven serving poor Strauss shanked it [Music] [Applause] when centers love this when they get an overpass they get a swing like that normally it's the middle blocker so they get that swing that time we get the center got it Marine loves it the up for right side it's white kept alive white returns it played with two hands by Van Sickle Williams in the middle [Applause] I strikes again by 5:00 in the fourth welcome back sky Williams given the Rainbow Wahine hm s a dental plan is all about winning smiles sky one of the brightest of the bunch she does how about these numbers from this third set so far very fortunate where I hit it 600 UC Davis hitting 105 out of the break Stroh cover there on the block by Ross back row 7 sickle against three blockers is dug up thereby Sessler here's white and she goes high hands and long but there was a touch [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] they're really smart play that time by mahalia block was well-formed she had a Stephanie she didn't have much of an approach settles inside and she had the smartest thing that was the hi huge the game was why he's gonna feed the Middle's they're hot great example they're perfect pass by huddle one he then led to another Skye Williams kill its ways eighth ninth kill of the night hitting well over 700 precise their own it sir the one that goes wide right slices and right right or you've got that rope into the model that's you know what I don't even have a response that's dead-on my friend outside here's Van Sickle [Applause] welcome back bro six kills Brooke [Applause] Pascal's wide with the outside nice approach gets his foot block sales by okey no I in a way it goes to mattis and she got a piece of that block [Music] merge smart hit by an outside hitter to UCB [Applause] manases like that go-to player three-and-a-half kills of percent and that serve goes long bronchus thoughts on the distribution of setter James Sessler going to white in Madison same amount of attempts 27 and 29 respectively 18 attempts maracas Tony first rel Oh with double-figure attempts with tanum and it's pretty been pretty evenly distributed yeah she's in a good job he knows you'll see it could go at Rhodes he was all about her jump start this fourth set be able to do so here though it's eight serving 12 sessile serves and why both teams really trying to target certain areas of the floor pick on certain players if they take the pass the ball poorly is VanSickle to see down the line Sessler has to crack it down it's mattes dug up by Yosi Oh okey no dry ball pump set to Ross with kill number eight Syl is a difficult set back bug sent to school this is high ball Ross asses of step clothes it's in my hands and she gets a back role player she has three touches out of that Ross has been on some kind of run it swelled kills in 400 inches in Santa Barbara on the road 10 kills the other night against a Riverside and going again tonight a samurai [Music] [Applause] it's a 15 first and creating the greatest amount of separation we have seen in this match used an honor signals for a time out Hawaii it's set but they still have a long ways to go welcome back Hawaii falling behind 2 sets to none here they are in set for a 15 to 8 it was a very interesting scene in the UC Davis huddle and that's close to where we're positioned it was Alexa raucous the junior middle who was imploring her team to just play their game saying we have set ourselves up to do something special here tonight Corrina upset Hawaii on the Stan Sheriff Center for draw off the blocking out how about McKenna walls kill and then was crafted that was crappy she does a nice shot of seeing the block goes the outside blocker is moving to the right so she just wipes left the outside hand except the 16th point and then sit go down the line it'll be wipe them off the net block out of peace good save there by okey know you'll see it sets up Ross off the block covered by okey know you'll see a backside here's he'll be [Applause] well how much does it help that fella big has found her rhythm he's good two and a half cents not finding it now she's really guy well together we can all the right shots at the right time so [Music] we have a substitution here for UC Davis it's gentie breeze grades will replace old in the front row and that's interesting Oh replaced graves as the tallest player in the history of the program at six six grades comes in she's six four they senior from Pomona California [Applause] eighth of the night for the Rainbow Wahine [Applause] the middle said there's graves being called into action and delivering immediately Connors was telling us on the 1p statement she came in it's set number five so she's used to play her role as a search - blocker and thatís goes out with the serve why eat up double digits here in the floor [Applause] there is on Oahu net it's a pass tight to the net set up those two white through the block and down you don't slow down mahalia why not on a night like this he's hidden well over 400 and he'll never stand by they're on the set by TSS her she has given them historical feelings here this season has just a sophomore use of the net Sharyl how do you explain what we're seeing from Davis here in the for I'm really surprised it's so well all night long all descend a little bit of off play and some great play by Hawaii is not that a good combinations made this ten-point deficit come true here is Haley Choi set up those two white two blockers up and next to mckenna ross putting up the wall [Applause] [Music] less than 1 hand limit ex-wife even touched the hell your wife a substitution in the front row for UC Davis six to freshman middle Lana erratic ovitch from San Francisco California provide a spark here for the Aggies strolling through the block dug up by Troy you'll see a sets up a solo set so it's tipped over the set goes to white tight to the net dug up in the back row there by Van Sickle and then she to hands it over the Vantage Aggies matakovich the instant offense by the two middle substitutions made by Dan Conners [Music] here for UC Davis in this $0.04 lana was happy about that and she said slide to play in this arena hitting the game tonight williams by Lahav there's Strela from off the net and that may have been an alcohol diving attempt there by Van Sickle doing all she could and the point goes to the Aggies so now the Aggies are playing perhaps as much for set five as they are for this fourth set right I mean of course eight things that come back but to just get back in rhythm as they prepare for what could be a decisive fifth frame dig there by Reyes touched over and down the ad-lib by Sisler and that's want to see as UC Davis finding its traction once more so she's sitting this one timeout good timeout I think it's a brilliant timeout dan Connors is really happy and his timeout I'm sure that his team is finally gaining some momentum to carry into what is sure to be a fit said I be a big shot that with UC Davis comes back to the 2113 deficit so each coach you wanted to get the momentum going back into the fifth and not go limping into the fifth set that's for sure so grab a bowl I'm sure he's talking about right now what he was in need of a spark down and so they turn to one of their key players here this season who had missed some time in fact that Mister matches of injury coach's decision the last time out Brooke Van Sickle and she has delivered six kills hit 364 be more importantly her gate has been subject to passing in a defense stabilized before his attack and it's made a big big difference she just does so many things so well and it's made of thing it's made a big difference I think she has been the difference let's check him if you have to point to one person let's check in with Ryan thanks to know well echoing what you were saying earlier at the Center for Davis s they're talking to your team saying hey let's not worry about the points on the scoreboard let's just work one at a time to try to get momentum back she's really proven to be a leader for this scene here in game number four back over to you guys thanks Ryan yeah not bad for a sophomore especially one that replaced a pair of starting setters in Maddy Marino and Ilona Bowman from a year ago this ace there by Ali Reyes and Davis starting to get a little sentence something going here four straight points and hey look yeah they're trying to get some momentum going in to set five but they're freaking on to come up here and set for joy outside here's you'll see a roll shot diving save there by Lahab and three chance here for the Rainbow Wahine Choi outside you'll see it tried to tip it deep rattled around it will not be returned great effort there Ellis of freshmen of the season for Davis but a smartly placed shot there by the sea-- boy I got lucky there giving up a good pass in that free ball situation it took a crafty another crappy shot biosea to get their 22nd point eight kills four you'll see a 22 serving 14 your Strela block back cover there by the hog strap a second time through the block the net violation against Hawaii [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] seems to be the norm new for UC Davis right they've done five sets each of the last three matches it looks like a distinct possibility here that Connors getting another southern indicated the mari webbing six foot sophomore giving some of his starters rest here in anticipation of that fifth set william straight down [Music] strategic moved there from a substitution standpoint by dan Conner puddi Bank exactly I think it's a great idea it's uh having played all night a chance to play even the starters a chance to go over get a little rest and support the people that have been supporting them all night is hosting team wise it's worth it think for the team makino at the serve down the line it goes matakovich tips it into the time to a fifth set [Applause] Latino outside us we're dug up then sickle from off the net could save their work on web a second time by the double walking down when she shown some bounce the six-foot sophomore from Highland redshirted a year ago [Applause] since you've done this season this is just her thirty second set but you see the numbers pretty impressive he averages almost three kills his set hitting 200 - oh let her pass Webb easy pickins [Applause] this sport set takes to ramp up the more of arrests some of the starters for UC Davis Messina ass Van Sickle IgD in the middle [Music] rainbow - from deficit so force afib special night we may have a special finish [Music] well what a match now Hawaii has forced a decisive 5th set after trailing Oh to make sure you stay tuned right after the match for the Heineken postgame show for insight highlights analysis usually an interview or two so you don't want to change the channel the corner crew will have much to discuss here and the conclusion of this one so well UC Davis they're just doing this five set thing pool time these days this is their fourth straight match going to a fifth that they are on the season four and mean in those five set matches the only loss at Cal Poly back on October 5th Hawaii they are coming into this fifth set match they are three and one in five centers this year the lone loss on this floor against UC Irvine October 4 Hawaii won the toss decided to receive that's because their site up percentages 70% that's a huge number actually why he hit 520 in that fourth set to Davis's 212 so why pretty much dominated that fourth set but now it's like a 15-minute Gator that's it there's so much luck involved in this in this fifth set they've got a peak they're serving you get a serve tough but again pick it in right we were discussing earlier in the broadcast about UC Santa Barbara defeating Cal Poly in doing so without Lindsay running which is remarkable who knows what that did was that gave both of those teams a loss and so Hawaii in conference play with two losses still to make a run for the conference town a loss here though would change that considerably and so you have that trying to do something they have never done in the history of their program that is win in henan ooh they have defeated the Rainbow Wahine just once in the previous 14 meetings that was back in Davis in 2013 in five sets and the Aggies be a then 10th ranked Rainbow Wahine school and yoshiya serves it wide to start set five [Applause] I thought Wilma toss it and tried to receive it was the rescind oh we're going to serve the interesting it is morning mattes to serve for Davis you'll see it sets up pelvic against the double block the diving save there by mattes and then through the blocking down it is Mihaly [Applause] [Music] we've seen the hell you awaken a lot of sense here of the fifth good start for the pose already in the fifth you'll see a cross-court to hell big as a blast but it's returned you'll see it has to back step to save it he'll viga second time against the double block goes right those last two swings by healthy were as good as swims that she's taken all night long her difficult sense that that bumps that's a tough one to hit block is well-formed she finds a way to get older and down 13 pills now for helvey with Van Sickle with the Serb forces the overpass how big that time she timed it perfectly we saw an identical opportunity earlier in the Paul and he'll be got caught in between she was sir fire their house her third best rate of the night she corrected her earlier mistake to be sure come on to serving to Van Sickle oh it just creeps over the tape [Applause] [Music] but Rosie smiles to the ground on our ball a few minutes ago she was not a happy camper going down Oh two of the fifth all the Sun now she's up three two just how Brooke planned it right three serving two down the line again it pushes another back house set up to stroll two blockers up they got a piece Hawaii in transition right side he'll be go to the hitter [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] well feed the Swede here that's before ye has been doing as of late Hana he'll do to lead the rainbow she was it negative for a good chunk of this match he's now at 229 seems slow slow start but what a strong finish Hawaii has scored four straight out of the timeout been sick with a sore right side mahalia white off the block rattled around the swing by rolls off the fingertips and it will be played back by the Aggies [Applause] there's a fridge from dynamic duo and he'll begin AG coming through again Manoa Arouca company and just fretfully [Applause] if they burn their membership burned yet what do you what do you think oh I would say so [Applause] we're in the hard hat here in set number five still observing - it's still a long ways to go yes pizza [Applause] some time being taking the white perspiration off to the floor bodies hitting the deck everywhere can they keep it going bang sickle that's the serve in set right side it's white from off the net good save there by Van Sickle you'll see an outside Ross tried to go line and miss the floor wide a confidence swing nonetheless the placement not there she took a really good swing there just miss the line I think she was looking for some hands actually three serving five this crowd has bacon over the last three cents well it's fitting we got some big-time drama here on the night we celebrate 25 years of the Stan Sheriff Center sir winds up in the twine [Applause] [Music] [Applause] what if inherits everything that is her sixth service error light now yourself 15 altogether six serving three here's mana Wahine [Applause] Cecily goes outside Strela blocking out it's a write-back place serving six see the touch there Davis is lucky that the roof 3 was right next to the attack and the blockers in fact Dan Connor reaching for the challenge card until he realized that the call actually was off the bluff Van Sickle from the back row dug up back over the net by l'homme backs I tell Dave [Applause] and that play McKenna rouse officially jumped out of her shoe great second by and saw the blockers split on that front line for Davis a single block attempt there against on a hill vegan like those odds most of the time seven serving four it's Bailey Choi little say raucous tune and saved there by Choi you'll see us sets up Ross through the double block Lahab the two-hand save outside it goes to stray off the high hands what a leaping save by Van Sickle we're also second time dug up by the hop over the net you'll see you can't get it down it'll be played back the other way Williams back it keeps going here's Ross off the high hands [Applause] sit outside string gets it down an incredible display of volleyball and heart and grit and determination on that sequence that was Anna Mae great volleyball on both sides of a quorum especially defense and reaction time serving seven choi his right side it's Ross off the tape diving save Reyes and it is backhanded over the net but with the advantage outside you'll see you tried the goal line sings it long no touch a missed opportunity there for the Davis back within a point we're gonna have a challenge here my Robin ah mo what do you think she's acting like she's saying that the center might have stepped under the line a little better but it might have been a centerline violation so Ernie ho taking a look at this we're still awaiting word on exactly what this challenge is it sure is a center light violation looks like it's the inter alcohol instead okay so ramen Amol anything I was challenging the in alcohol we have a pretty decent perspective of that particular shot where we're situated and it looked like it was way long and yeah if that is what is being challenged that's not much of a challenge [Applause] this could be a quick decision here by already home is that just Robin I'm going to preserve for two time-outs hearing [Music] [Applause] six serving seven well you knew Davis wasn't going to be pushed aside too easily here in this consent passed by Hana Wahine clothes Troy off the net cross-court pump set to you'll see a by the double blocking in Conner's is going to challenge that call awfully he's challenging the in out coal [Applause] again the call on the floor is an outlaw actually maybe count they call on the floor as an in full the challenge by Dan Connors is that it was out and Ernie Hall will take a look at this [Applause] it's a big call big difference between six and seven seven oh yeah that's why yeah this is good easy he's a quick one thirty to do as well perhaps as easy a call in as the other one was out yep the next two angles on that one first angle is enough right there way in [Music] all right we'll wait the ruling drum roll please that was huge he gets to eat first they swap sides and is eight six rainbow wahine if that one the other way it would have been seven up yeah crowds getting into it you can feel the tension of the air so much riding on this you know this is the 21st five set match for Robin amo in just her third season [Applause] [Music] a stress-free job let's put it back [Applause] [Music] teaching here on the wall a sign check in and she will position yourself behind the service line so the swap ends set fire for what you coming back from down Oh - trying to complete the comeback Wagner gets it in pass is on the money outside it goes to mattis and she drops a hammer let's set that whole play up was a perfect pass Villa was going hard skyy Williams will win might bid on that committed out the middle to good engage the outside master McManus one on one Wagner in for the servlet she was currently replacements again by McKenna Ross served by raucous overpass and it's gonna be a point for UC Davis the poll is going to be that Bailey Troy went up above the net she is going to challenge the fact that she was still on the floor when she put her hands up and got a piece I'll be over past swing that is the argument being made by Robin amo and Angelico young cast discussion now between the r-1 deputy Nelson for captain Loomis here and that is not something you can challenge a little bit more emphatic in this particular argument than we've seen at other times that Detroit does leave the ground there that doesn't help Zippy's get your hands about the Nexus becomes a blocker than an illegal back you're blocking raucous serving we're gonna have a yellow card pulled out by Daphne Nelson's [Applause] I won't actually have to write that type because he played Sheldon he didn't even eat earlier he's up there as it was if she was a blocker arguing this point about as hard as we have seen her argue a point really all season and finally relents and finally they decide to play on it is eight serving eight see Mac inset five it's almost like having a timeout and I seen the server petawatt this has turned into an emotional ride here down the stretch Rika Aquino to serve naina serving [Applause] just over the net outside it goes to mattis walk out a piece Hawaii in transition Troy backside you'll see a cross court dug up by Reyes mattis the second time off the blocking out point Davis we are tied yet again smart buying data school you'll see that soon Ainsley donate for the new blocker that's for sure Sessler the surrey and it's an ace drops right in between Van Sickle and Ross Davis leads in the fifth [Applause] [Music] well this is why they built this thing the Stan Sheriff Center celebrating its 25th anniversary opened in 1994 the inaugural match was you eights Rainbow Wahine volleyball versus San Jose State October 21st in 94 Robyn amo and Angelica enqvist were on that Hawaii team and played in that match and we got some drama here on anniversary night as bass sickle is cool off tried to tool the block but Metis the reigning Big West Conference Player of the Week comes up with a huge stuff and Davis leads by two the Rainbow Wahine were up seven four earlier in the fifth boy he's got a ton down left Davis has a timeout left what he needs it it's IgD the tip shot [Music] it's back walking numbers interesting she gave us with nine blocks down of hawaii's ten block easily could big difference down those stretches last [Applause] seal getting ready to serve again changes position along that end line some anxiety in this building here on anniversary night sections of cirfairy Starkey down the line maybe mattis cross-court we'll see it's a water we're first through the night after four service errors not her normal night a timeout taken by Davis Morini ousia with her 27 face of the season that puts her in sole possession of eighth place in the Rainbow Wahine career aces record book and that was a biggie right there knotted at 11 what do you make of what is being discussed in these two Huddle's right now well I think that the UC Davis huddle right now I'm sure Dan Connors just talking about it just need one good pass and they won't even pay attention as the arena's josiya serves because it's got a lot of spin on it if they get in front of it just hold their arms out you can be a very easy ball to pass but if they do not do that they can that that serves get away from me they can dive in a hurry for Hawaii I think Robin our bones definitely talk about sirs going to stay and then he should talk about blank defense there and she's not doing the blockers right now he'll meet right now talking to her when she is the front row gonna be blocking up front and his leg the pluck is to play get to play a big part here he's last four points in the race to 15 [Applause] it is now a race to pour with this one in the fifth tied at 11 more Twitter talk Aloha ball recalling date Shoji's 1000 to win in 2009 against rival New Mexico State can't forget amazing players like an le coup de Janeiro a nun Danielson hashtag SSC memories perhaps another memory in the making here on the Teraflex tonight about the auntie's who have been along for this memorable ride in this building legendary the entire time part of the culture and we know see as the crowd quiets with the sir overpass Hawaii point attacker gold on the center Sessler and Hawaii leads by one improves you'll see it for that one it's just like getting an ace she forced a very difficult pass at the net that sensor couldn't hear look but my sensors didn't I think an amazing job tonight for sophomore great leadership has really set a good offense it's weld serving 11 you'll see yeah another Hoffman check his right side mattis blocking down first tied for the fifth time in the fifth a mess - now sir okay no that one tight to the net one handset goes to Van Sickle one hand saved there by the hive and it lines up for a strange point there you'll see saving the Koala at the neck and then Van Sickle with a tip it look like who's going to be played up instead it got played into the neck Corey got lucky 13 serving 12 it's been sickle making her returned to the lineup tonight after missing four matches overpass [Applause] and guess what ball for the match hold the phone for one second as we are going to get a challenge from Dan Connors you think these are tied out so guess what this is he has another challenge left he's get an extra one in the fifth set I'm sure he's using that as his like third time out [Applause] he's asking me for net violation Pelt and there was this is a pitfall right here it's either a lowball for the match in favor of Milwaukee but we're even-steven at 13 apiece furniture the call was [Music] violation there's no to violence Ernie hole already muffled the headset how do you call it - no I agree with you so does any home and they will rise celebrating the brand number of 25 how many 28,000 do you think today 3% more than that for you trailed Oh to pour the match Van Sickle to serve outside it's true [Applause] [Music] again [Applause] [Music] we're gonna have a challenge from Dan Connors he wants to see if there was a touch on that way [Applause] [Music] [Applause] drawsome ridicule from the fans here at the Stan Sheriff Center [Applause] it's absolutely within his right to challenge this and let's see if we can see if there is a touch nothing that is too obvious from that angle does it look like a fair [Music] I mean you can't take them home with you right so you might as well challenge this yeah for sure doesn't look like a touch there either and said oh it doesn't look like a touch either it was well above average Edie's hand [Music] watch this place erupt when they see that there's no touch [Music] here's the call no touch [Applause] [Music] anywhere there were actions dog on two sets take out UC Davis and make the 25 year anniversary celebration a true celebration [Music] amazing another reverse swing just adding to the pantheon moments in this building a fitting tribute to the late Stan Sheriff and this building that now bears his name the cake has been brought out much like the cake that was brought up 25 years ago the performance of the national anthem in Hawaii pondweed tonight Karen keahi Hawaii well 25 years ago on October 21st the national anthem in Hawaii finale was performed by parent a hobby Hawaii poetic and the crowd appreciating the fact that on this landmark occasion is victorious very very special night everybody get their money's worth they all got a little souvenir with the special cop tonight I believe they got it pinned as well look it's a 25 year pin all right let's send it over to Scott Rob's he's been robbing amo all right Robin be honest the game plan tonight was to drop the first two sets go five so that the crowd to really enjoyed this anniversary today right I'm glad they finished at the end you know one thing you talked about to us this week was about regaining their confident it's early because it started at 5:00 was regaining the confidence what you say to the team in intermission to get their confidence back nothing they just did it themselves literally we did nothing we just talked to the staff we came out here told them what they're doing on the lineup congratulations the wind go get some cake alright guys back over to you yeah have some cake that'll be more like stress-eating I think for Robin mo on the coaching staff tonight that was some drama here at the Stan Sheriff Center Bank of Hawaii presents the players of the match mahalia white was sensational 17 kills hitting 3 a 2 to 2 blocks and three digs in Narine you'll see it a near triple-double once again 23 assists 9 kills 9 digs and how about three blocks and a very important service ace little over 5,100 here through the turnstile tonight but boy were they boisterous and loud and reason to celebrate a hawaii victory Rainbow Wahine improving to 16 and 3 overall 6 and 2 in the Big West Conference Aggies fall to 13 and 8 4 and 3 in the league and it is Stan sheriff's son rich sheriff the general manager of this Stan Sheriff Center who blows out the Kansas to celebrate anniversary [Music] all right well that'll do it for us don't forget about the Heineken postgame show for Chris McLaughlin - ol Leahey what a night time to celebrate til next time [Music] [Music] and welcome back to Stan Sheriff Center we're a little fun after the match the anniversary the 25th of the Stan Sheriff Center the cake celebration kind of like a wedding right here Nerine trying to give it to Robert Robert gives it to marine who chases down her coach and then you see rich sheriff right there trying to predict that beautiful cake that is uh gonna be eaten I'm sure by a lot of players there goes Robin again having a little fun with the team they're celebrated because Hawaii was able to win this take a look first at the highlights the blocking early on gave away all kind of problem UC Davis with nine total blocks on the night you see the double right there by UC Davis UC Davis how about plate she was good Mahinder white hats high 17 kills she hit 382 on the night really who I had no answer for the former freshman of the year in the Big West Conference all flocking above the Y's blocky tip the Aqua Davis Hewitt's for the butcher players involved particularly Skylar Williams who had five for forever i GD and Noreen yoshiya that do everything senior involved in a little bit of everything the island filled 23 assists she had a service 8 she had 9 beach she really is the true a squad there you see Nerine with a very important piece coming late in set number five as well it comes back after losing the first two to win the next three and take it in five from spectrum sports it's the Heineken postgame show big sign everybody for sticking around here on the celebration of the Stan Sheriff Center Scott Lisa and Ryan I think a couple of things we should already establish about this team is that you never know what to expect night in and night out or maybe even set to set and you could never count this team up never count them out is absolutely right I mean it was a struggle you got to give credit to UC Davis they came in here with ready to rock and roll and they took the wind out of the sails of Wahine but check things out reverse sweep it's amazing what this team just did and came back to win this match and yeah we were just talking this looks like a much different UC Davis team that we've seen in any previous seasons they came out with a heart they battled up there really looked physical and it really looked like trouble for Hawaii but credit Hawaii for really pushing the right buttons Brooke Van Sickle really coming on strong I think bottom line she brought a lot of stability overall to this team and also Hana healthy I mean she was a player that struggled early on and then she was kind of the go-to towards the end so great to see those things happening for Hawaii all right let's take a look at the final numbers from this one brought to you by demonic and solar guys what do you see without hitting percentage at 3:03 it really went up for Hawaii just kind of showed how the match went along with Hawaii struggling offensively and also the block so what he really turning it on towards a lot of part of that match and that's exactly it they turned it on in the latter part of that match because they started again slow the digs amazing UC Davis out digging Hawaii soon oh yeah but only 50 digs at 49 and a five how do you explain I asked Robin this and I said what did you say in the locker room in intermission because they were beaten in those first two sets and then they come back if I mean how do you explain she said well we didn't really say anything well I think she's gotten to the point now where she just tries to get the right players in there get create energy and these players know their roles and what she wants from them I think the coaching staff made some great subs but I also was a little wondering what happened in game I guess it was three Ryan where there were some subs and amber IgD went out and I thought she was playing fine and and I don't know I just felt like that was an interesting sub in my you know my thoughts well I think in Game three when Hawaii came back they did a number of things one Brooke vensica brought a lot of stability to the passing in the defense where they were able to play transition defense the other thing that I think helped them was moving healthy to the right with Hawaii was getting burned down the line if you look at some of Brookes attacks as well as some of her highlights that was her first kill of the match coming from the back over but we'll be doing a nice job of mixing things up but going back Toto saying earlier I think one of the things that helped for ye was a fine of a blocking lionesses backing that blind team all night long and Hana is a big presence out there she really helped to slow down some balls on that right side attack for for Hawaii all right and game on at 4:30 this afternoon always a half hour before every game you should watch it I highly encourage it we had pick a number I'm gonna and well I don't know I don't think either have you really lost and it was combined digs between Kyra Han Wahine and Rico keno and Kyra had a two and I believe Rika had 8 so 10 was the total who took 8 Lisa took Kate Ryan took 6 we'll call it a push ok yeah and we also didn't think that it would probably go 5 how about talk about repin and her influence on the floor tonight well I thought she had some great scrambles as we've checked her flying her body all over the place four balls she also I thought served pretty well tonight from the she took a leadership role you could see her trying to calm down the backcourt when there was a couple of miscues if you will and she talked about that in our pregame as you will game on she talked about the effort that she's made and putting more time in and taking leadership when she's in the backcourt trying to control that back serve receiver and Hawaii essentially went with two ds's or libero as they kind of split the roles from both of them so Rico play for three rotations and Hahnel Mohini played for three rotations so it wasn't a true libero they're out almost splitting that job towards the end of the match you know one thing I think has been very consistent has been the middle blockers from Hawaii for the most part particularly Skylar Williams and she had another outstanding nanochip and killed no hitting errors for Hawaii continues just to shine she's got great energy she drives to the ball she's communicating well her and Bailey Choi seem to be connecting well I think one of the things that really helped her throughout the match as the match watching more accustomed to the hitting tendencies of Davis I mean she saw our attention a lot more balls off the block in Vegas did some funky things with their footwork in the middle they almost looked like they were running behind every single time to try to draw the blockers there and then with two step back in front so I think that kind of hurt Hawaii at the beginning but Williams did a nice job of adjusting as the match wore on and I don't think anybody has a better smile than Skye Williams she has an all-american smile she's always smiling on the floor having a good time well we had a good time a little longer than we thought sometimes it was a little agonizing but Hawaii pulls it out in five don't go anywhere because when we come back joining us here in the corner Brooke Van Sickle good to have her back welcome back to the Heineken postgame show and we are back joining us in the corner prevent sickled seven kills off the bench a couple of service aces as well as eight digs are really I thought more than anything brought a calming influence to the floor after those first two sets first off congratulations and welcome thank you how's the knee feeling um it's good yeah I had some time off so gotta figure out what's going on and got to do some rehab on my knee now but oh well what you missed the last three matches and then you did not see action until that third set I'm sure you knew that you had a chance to come in did did sitting there and watching those first two sets kind of help you when you got in there yeah I just like knew what to expect like I saw like when we were aggressive it was scoring points I was just like okay if I go on the court like I'm just gonna swing hard and like they're swinging deep to stay deep and it's pretty much it so did you know last night in tonight you got the clearance to go but has the coaching staff been telling you just be ready or we're gonna wait till we absolutely need you um they haven't really said anything to me but it's because I think it's just like I only started practicing like a day ago so I got we have one practice under my belt coming back so it was kind of interesting well just chose practices over you know what do you what would you say about tonight's matchups I mean what this this is a team that obviously gave you some trouble what were some of the adjustments that you think you folks at as a match on pretty much what we talked about like when we in the locker room was that before Davis was winning at Serban pass and so we decided as a team like okay we're gonna serve harder and like try to give better opportunities to our hitters by passing the ball so I think we did a way better job at serving because like the first two sets if you go back like we're serving the Libero a lot and those sets but got better I know confidence is a big thing that Robin talked to us about this week and how you guys found that confidence on the drive down from Cal Poly to Santa Barbara a week ago you guys didn't look very confident early on how come there are times where you guys look confident and other times where you just don't I feel like everyone's pretty confident around like I feel like everyone knows that they can play volleyball at a like high level I think it's just more for like energy like I feel like we just had to come out like smiling having fun like good energy and we always play good winweb room that happens so I think we had to focus on that yeah I know like before they played Santa Barbara I was like because I didn't get a travel unfortunately but I was like watching everyone's like snapchat stories and everything and they were just like having a good time like coach Rob was doing dance-off with Amber and stuff so I thought that was super cool I'm like okay they're gonna win they got this so going back to that how hard was it to stay back knowing that this was a huge road trip for them it was it was brutal yeah I was it was it was definitely hard for me and Julie like like at least we had each other to like this bug sorry but yeah I'm just like happy that they got a pull-out dub yeah coming out so looking ahead now you guys are going back on the road again seems that you kind of struggled with back home here what is sort of the mentality going in.i going against these teams once again I'm pretty much either coaches always say like our motto is all in so we're just gonna give it our all and yeah I think we play Irvine so you know we want revenge so I'll state forward to who really pushed you guys they know that to Sam I'm excited yeah so well keep working hard keep rehabing ban we look forward to seeing you on the floor the rest of the season good job tonight thank you our guests here in the corner this evening Rick Van Sickle as she helps Hawaii to a five-cent win over UC Davis we'll come back and we'll have some final thoughts
