Brandt in for Mafua at practice
POSTED: 01:30 a.m. HST, Nov 18, 2008
The Hawaii women's volleyball team started the week with the same ranking -- No. 6 -- but a different setter.
| WAHINE VOLLEYBALL WAC Tournament: Boise State at Hawaii, 7:30 p.m. Thursday, KFVE, Ch. 5; KKEA 1420-AM. |
"I set last year so it's not all that different," Brandt said after practice. "I feel good. I've worked with everybody."
"It's not a big adjustment," Rainbow Wahine coach Dave Shoji said. "Steph sets the ball a little higher, but some of our hitters like that.
"The thing is you just don't know how long (Mafua) will be out. Her injury is one of those things that could get better right away or not."
For the moment sophomore libero Elizabeth Ka'aihue is taking repetitions as the backup setter.
Hawaii (23-3) hosts the Western Athletic Conference tournament for the first time beginning Thursday.
The Rainbow Wahine, WAC co-champions, face Boise State in Thursday's 7:30 p.m. match.
Yesterday, there was no movement among the top 11 of the AVCA Division I Coaches Top 25. Penn State (28-0) remained the unanimous No. 1, followed by Stanford (22-3), Nebraska (25-1), Texas (21-3) and Washington (21-4).
