I see Sarah Mendoza played in one set. Does that mean no redshirt for her? Don’t recall her ever playing prior to this.
Robin, believe the box is a mistake. They only took 13 so … she would be No. 14. No she is still redshirting, isn’t on the trip.
A win is a win. We’ll take it. They were able to come from behind. Go Wahine!!
To CSUN’s credit, they did beat a 9-3 Arizona team in 5 at Arizona, and swept 11-4 Texas Tech team in Houston (Rice tournament). Three losses were to Utah Valley St., Wisconsin, and San Francisco. Potentially about as good as a New Mexico State?
We’re a young team with a lot of room for improvement. First road trip, new teams at new venues. This where strong leadershi[p(from the players) counts.
As Dorothy said, ” we’re not in the WAC anymore..”
It was ugly, but on the road you just win anyway you can. Down 14-12 it was like highway robbery, literally snatched victory from the jaws of defeat.
The other 2 matches should be much easier, I don’t expect too much trouble from Riverside or Fullerton.

Great comeback! But like others are saying, its the first road trip in a new conference with new players, so it was good to start off with a “W”, but this could also mean the start of a “long” roadtrip. Just stay focused Na Wahine and bring your A-Game to each match and you will do just fine.
Plus, coach experimented with lineup as promised. Early rotation in G1 when Croson was backrow had Goodman LS, Hartong RS.
Also returned Kastl to RS when Croson was OH at times — and mixed/matched thruout. Must be difficult for team to maintain optimum chem/timing.
Heard Long mentioned quite a bit too. She saw reps in every set though difficult to differentiate players since game was broadcast with only *1* camera (midcourt angle) & *no* closeups or replays.
Watching replay, note to self: Long got reps to serve;
So Lelepali not on trip?
No, they took Long.
Play-by-play is available with the box at hawaiiathletics.com i f you want to see her numbers and when she served. 1 ace, 1 assist. 0-1-1 on backrow attack.
Thx. Also thought after watching replay, adjustment to ‘new’ foreign court played small role in Wahine discomfort. Lower ceiling (bumps ricocheting off basketball backboards), ob lanes with more/less space to chase down balls (more side, less behind), court lines overlaid on basketball floor (difficult to see) should remind them of Klum but it’s diff btw practice/game when points actually count.
Announcer did a very good job….felt he was unbiased throughout the match. Kudos.
Agreed. He was upfront about pronunciation problems before the match, asked for advice, got it, used it. Knows the game. Obvious strong Cali ties; played — and was beaten by — Croson in a beach match.
