The Rainbow Wahine again got off to a slow start due to poor passing but eventually pulled off a win 25-20, 22-25, 25-19, 25-19. I think it'll just take game reps for the team to gel and learn each other strengths. They will certainly have to gel quick when they play Stanford tonight 5pm for the championship game in the Chevron Rainbow Wahine Invitational.
The Wahine were led by Emily Hartong with her 17 kills, a match high and three solo blocks.
One of the newcomers redshirt freshmen Jade Vorster had 12 kills and no errors.
Saint Mary's Kristina Graven had 15 kills and 16 digs for the Gaels who fall to 0-2 on the season. Lauren Corp added a match-high 21 digs.
Stanford swept their previous two matches and are hoping they can leave the islands 3-0.
Once again the best volleyball fans in the United States came to the Stan Sheriff Center with 6,242 tickets issued for the contest, with 4,701 fans coming through the turnstiles. UH usually averages 5,500 to 6,000 a night and tonight's match up against Stanford should exceed that.
#6 Stanford vs. #8 Hawaii. Are you ready volleyball fans!
