The Hawaii women's volleyball team lost to Cal State Northridge last Saturday night with scores of 25-21, 25-21, 25-12. This is their first loss to CSUN since 2014. CSUN had 13 more blocks than Hawaii and a .333 hitting percentage compared to Hawaii's .126, as reported by Spectrum Local News.
Coach Robyn Ah Mow confirmed last Thursday that outside hitter Stella Adeyemi will be on the injured list for the season after a knee injury against University of California, Los Angeles, joining Tali Hakas. In recent matches, Reid had six kills and nine attack errors, and Bri Gunderson had three kills in two sets after missing a game. Middle blockers Maddie Way and Miliana Sylvester combined for 15 kills with four errors. The 'Bows played Bakersfield last Friday and are preparing for upcoming conference matches. Ah Mow said, "We just got to keep going," according to Hawaii News Now.
The Rainbow Wahine aim to recover as they prepare for a challenging week at home. Setter Adrianna Arquette, who recorded a triple-double against CSUB, was limited in their match against CSUN, prompting the coaching staff to adjust their approach with a smaller lineup. For CSUN, Amaris Smith led with 12 kills and one error for a .478 hitting percentage. Tyla Reese Mane added 17 kills across the two matches. In the Big West standings, Long Beach State and UC Davis remain undefeated, increasing the pressure on Hawaii.
