UH Men’s Volleyball

By: Tiff Wells One week. That was all the time UH was away from the being number one. Because of a Penn State loss at home, the Rainbow Warriors were back to the top spot in the Top 15 Coaches Poll. Also moving up three spots in the latest RPI, the Bows were also back […]

Saturday, January 14, 2023 By Tiff Wells #BusinessFinished. #Back22Back. Hawai`i Men’s Volleyball has become the must see attraction on the island over the last couple of years. And with all seven starters plus an experienced group of reserves returning for #WarriorBall23, a lot is expected of this group. Evident by receiving all but one first-place […]

There’s a little bit of a height discrepancy between Alaka’i Todd, the 6 ft 9 in middle blocker and outside hitter, and our host of Episode 5 of “Little Keiki Ask Big Questions” presented by Kamaʻaina Kids. Hosting this episode is Lilinoe Stoltzman, who is only 8-years-old and is the daughter of Elizabeth Stoltzman, a fellow […]

By: Jarin Kobashigawa In their first match in program history, Edward Waters University got swept by the No. 1-ranked and defending national champion Rainbow Warriors volleyball team. Spyros Chakas and Kana‘i Akana led the team in its offensive onslaught with 6 kills each. Jakob Thelle had a team-high 20 assists and 5 service aces. Alaka‘i […]
