Chevron Rainbow Wahine Invitational

[ShockerFever]

Awesome start to the season.

It sure would be something to steal one tomorrow night. I'd say it's a long shot, but you never know..

Clue us in.

I loaded the periscope app and hooked in my Twitter and followed the osu women who had a periscope camera link at the game. Wasn't great quality or vantage point but you could tell what was going on

Hawai'i 3-0 Idaho
18, 23 and 19

Sounds like a good, competitive effort by the Lady Vandals. Shocks will need to make sure they don't take their match with Idaho for granted.

You have to buy a subscription to see the Honolulu game article and Corvallis just grabbed some stats for theirs. Someone might post the Honolulu game article on Volleytalk when they wake up over there. :)

Hawaii was sloppy in their defense and passing game. I didn't watch the entire match but the 2 squads were not competitive imho. UH has a lot of guns and bullets. Getting them out of system is a key to success.

I see tonight's match as a huge challenge. Staying awake that is.

Cubicle No More ... obliged my request and posted the Star-Advertiser game article on the Volleytalk board. It starts almost half-way down the page.

"They run a different type of system, one you'll never see run by any other team, where their setter blocks middle," Hawaii coach Dave Shoji said of Wichita State. "We'll be challenged by them because every player they have does something really well.

"The challenge will be taking away what they like to do."

In VolleyTalks 1st weekly Pick Em Contest 79% (107 out of 135) contestants had picked Oregon State to defeat the Shocks.

The really big upset though was Western Kentucky beating Wisconsin 3-1. 100% of the contestants went with Wisconsin.

It's early, but OSU is absolutely putting the wood to Idaho.

25-9 ouch.

Recap: Let me give credit to Wichita State but the reason we lost was completely in our hands.

Yeah, it did come across that way. OSU is hitting 0.410 against Idaho after 2 sets tonight. So they either really did have a bad day against the Shocks or Lambo was right about this Shocker team being the best Shocker defensive team he has had.

I guess it's akin to how many teams seem to have an off day when they face the Shocker men's basketball team. Looking forward to seeing this team play and grow.

OSU wins 10, 19, 19.
