Unable to purchase game on website and so called to find out that they are having technical difficulties.

The Live Stats were problematic last night and again tonight in the Arizona-SF match, so I would definitely say they are having difficulties.

It's a long flight from the Islands to the Mainland and sometimes the carrier pigeons just run out of gas. Besides I hear the job only pays chicken feed.

Looks like we are running late. San Francisco looks like they may push Arizona to 5 sets. The Dons are trailing 1-2 but are up 23-19 in Set 4.

The Dons also gave Hawaii a reasonable competitive match last night.

Shocks better get their game going are they could easily leave the Islands with a big goose egg in the win column.

Update: Arizona rallies but USF holds on for a 26-24 win. On to a 5th set.

Final: Arizona wins the 5th set 15-10; Looks like we are looking at about a 1:00 am CT start for the Shocks match.

Mike estimates a crowd of about 8,000 for tonight's match.

I must admit I am envious of that kind of support. That's big time.

Girls sound like they are playing up to their potential.....exciting!!!

[1972Shocker]

Wow! Shocks take Set 1 25-21.

Sounds like they are playing with a much greater sense of urgency, effort, confidence and aggressiveness tonight. A couple of the young 'uns, Sam and Elizabeth steppin' it up.

Not switching setters in this set. Going exclusively with Hoop so far.

Lambo's strategy of planting a big ol' KISS on the girls seems to be working. That being to Keep It Simple Stupid. He said in the pre-game that he tried to simpligy things some for tonight's match and didn't worry too much about a special strategy for Hawaii.

Hopefully, this will give the Shocks a big boost of confidence.

Now that is more like it!! I knew they had that in them. Hope they keep it up and have an upset while no one in the whole world but us and Hawaii is watching!!!

18-18. Shocker time out in 2nd set. Girls are hanging tough!

Am I all alone out here at 1:51am????

18-18. Shocker time out in 2nd set. Girls are hanging tough!

I think Hawaii has 5 service aces in this set and that is keeping them in the set.

I have to wonder how many people are even listening to this right now. (looks like sistyugler beat me to this question)

I am here! Very worth staying up so late but disappointed that I can't get video feed. Girls playing GREAT!!!!!

Hawaii won a tight 2nd set......25-21....too many aces in that set!

Definitely. I believe the 'Bows had a 7 to 1 advantage in aces in Set 2 and have 9 aces for the match. We definitely must tighten that up to have a shot at the upset.

Shocks had an 18-15 lead. A service error followed by a barrage of Hawaii service aces allowed Hawaii to close out the set on a 10-3 run.
