2015 Big West All-Conference Awards

| Big West Release | Hawaii Release |

The Big West has released the 2015 Big West All-Conference Awards today and Hawaii picked up multiple accolades including some of the top ones. Junior opposite Nikki Taylor (Honolulu, HI) was named the Big West Player of the Year and head coach Dave Shoji was named Big West Coach of the Year. A few others received awards as well.

Senior middle blocker Olivia Magill (Shoreline, WA), senior outside hitter Tai Manu-Olevau (Hilo, HI), sophomore middle Emily Maglio (Coquitlam, Canada), and Taylor were named to the All-Big West First Team while sophomore outside hitter Kalei Greeley (Riverside, CA) and sophomore libero Savanah Kahakai (Kalihi, HI) were named All-Big West Honorable Mention.

Taylor received First Team for the third season while Magill and Manu-Olevau did twice. Taylor also received weekly conference awards five times this season which ties the UH record and she is the seventh Hawaii player to be named Player of the Year. This is Shoji's fifth Big West Coach of the Year award. Congrats to all members for these awards.

Head Coach Dave Shoji made an appearance on the Leahey and Leahey show on (8/28) to talk about the upcoming Rainbow Wahine Volleyball season. He did not give anything really new but still nice to see him get interviewed.

He also made an appearance on KITV4 in the morning where he was interviewed by Ryan Tsuji. He was then interviewed on ESPN1420 in the afternoon.
