Japanese Team added to Schedule

The Rainbow Wahine volleyball team will now play Toyota Auto Body on Tuesday, September 25th. Shoji mentioned earlier he was trying to get in another team during the season and Toyota Auto Body is the only one that showed up. This match is after they come home from the Wichita State tournament and two days before the opening of their second season in the Big West.

This Japan team may sound familiar because they have been here before. It is a coincidence because I looked back when they last played which was in the 2012 season and it is on the same exact day it will be this year (9/25). The last meeting the Queenseis of Japan defeated the Wahine 3-1. Hope that will not be the same this year. For a full recap of the last meeting you can go here. But last years lost did not really matter to Shoji because he experimented a lot as if it was a spring match and he lot many reserves get playing time.

Also this Toyota Auto Body team is the new team for alumni Kanani Danielson (Ewa Beach, Hawaii). Danielson who was a four time All-American for UH joined this team for their 2012-13 season and did not carry the team until later in the season.

I did see this match up on the schedule a few days ago but I thought it was already announced so I never said anything but thanks to the person on Volley Shots that pointed it out.
