Wahine stay at No. 3
By Cindy Luis
No surprise about that. Nothing will change … maybe … unless penn state and Texas have a loss and, even then, not sure if Hawaii will get any higher.

I’m really curious as to why Texas and Penn State do not have a more equal share of the first place votes. Maybe it’s the precedent set by Penn State leading up to today, but they don’t seem to be as dominant as last year, and, as we saw firsthand, Texas certainly is.

I think the coaches believe that Penn St. is too dangerous, even though they lost 2 sets @ Michigan. Texas looks beatable, since they have had more sets taken off of them. If a team puts together 3 good sets and/or catches Texas on an off-night, bye bye top 5 for the ‘Horns.
