Hartong Named All-American
Senior outside hitter Emily Hartong received AVCA First Team All-American for the second consecutive season. This is the third season overall as she was a Second Team selection in 2011. She got the opportunity to go to Seattle for the Final Four and receive her award at the All-American Banquet. The AVCA will post interviews later of the All-Americans getting interviewed by former Washington Huskie, Courtney Thompson. Congrats to Emily!
Hartong Named Senior CLASS All-American
Senior outside hitter Emily Hartong received yet another award but this one as a Senior CLASS Award Second Team All-American. She was one of ten finalists being chosen for this award as the final winner was National Champion Penn State opposite hitter Ariel Scott. Despite Hartong being second in the fan voting, that was only part of the selection process. Congrats again to Emily and thank you for representing UH well.

The Wahine are ending the season with a ranking of No.17 in the final AVCA Poll. National champions Penn State were the unanimous pick for No.1 followed by Wisconsin, Texas, Washington, Southern California, Stanford, and Nebraska. Hawaii was also No.20 in the final RPI of the season.

This upcoming Warrior season looks to be an exciting one as usual. The team is a year older after losing one senior libero and four reserves. However they brought in five new players and five players are coming off redshirt years. From reading the Star Advertiser articles, the only players that seem to have a lead in their positions are senior setter Joby Ramos, sophomore libero Kolby Kanatake, and senior middle blocker Taylor Averill. I think the final outcome will be this:
Hawaiivolleyball808 Starting Line-Up Prediction:
OH1: Sinisa Zarkovic - 6'4" Sophomore
OH2: Jace Olsen - 6'7" Senior
OPP: Brook Sedore - 6'5" Junior
MB1: Taylor Averill - 6'7" Junior
MB2: Nick West - 6'8" Senior
S: Joby Ramos - 6'0" Senior
L: Kolby Kanatake - 5'8" Sophomore

Averill should be only a Redshirt Junior.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your starting lineup but I think that Mol will eventually overtake Olsen at the starting position.
