NAU comes to Hawai i after hosting last week s Lumberjack Classic where they went 1-2. NAU fell to Utah State and Arizona State but defeated CSU Bakersfield in four in the tourney finale. The Lumberjacks are led by Kaylie Jorgenson who has 115 kills, while Abby Akin has a team-best 26 blocks. Kahakai Climbing in the UH Career Record Books Fast Senior libero Savanah Kahakai not surprisingly leads UH with 140 digs thus far this season. Her 52 digs this past week helped her to leapfrog over three UH All-Americans to land at No. 8 all-time in UH history with 1,141 career digs to start this week. In the Outrigger Resorts Volleyball Challenge, Kahakai passed former No. 10 Lily Kahumoku s 1,104 ( , ) then overtook No. 9 Martina Cincerova s 1,111 ( ) and then surpassed Suzanne Eagye s 1,138 for No. 8 ( ). Kahakai has started all nine matches this year and has started the last 69-straight matches. This year she also has chipped in with 28 assists and eight service aces--three alone coming against No. 10 BYU last Thursday. Kahakai has recorded double-digit digs in six out of UH s nine matches this year--including a career-high 28 against UCLA (8/27/17). Kahakai has been the starting libero for the Rainbow Wahine since her sophomore year. Now as a senior, Ah Mow-Santos is happy with how far she s seen Kahakai come from when she coached her in club ball. Her court presence and ability to speak to the girls as a leader and run the court is what has landed her the role of starting libero. Kahakai started all 29 matches last season and became the 14th member of the Rainbow Wahine 1,000 career dig club. As a junior she notched double-digit digs in 26 career matches. Granato Stepping Up On The Outside Junior outside hitter McKenna Granato leads the Bows with 153 total kills and averaging 4.25 kills per set thus far this season. She is also third on the team with 90 digs and six service aces. She and Norene Iosia are the only two Rainbow Wahine to have tallied double-doubles this season. Granato recorded a pair of double-doubles last weekend with 23 kills/13 digs against No. 10 BYU and 22 kills/13 digs against Baylor. Granato also had three-straight 20+ kill games spanning the last two tournaments. She has four 20+ kill matches this season--including a season-high 29 in a five-set loss to No. 13 UCLA. For her career, she needs 21 kills to hit the 500-career kill milestone. This past summer, the junior outside hitter was selected to the U.S. Collegiate National Team-Minneapolis (CNT-Minneapolis). Granato trained and competed alongside 35 of the nation s top collegiate volleyball players in Minneapolis, Minn. She was the lone representative of the Big West Conference. The CNT-Minneapolis squad, which was part of USA Volleyball s High Performance pipeline, is considered a second tryout for the U.S. Women s National Team, will train from June at the University of Minnesota. Afterward, the athletes will be assigned to one of three 12-member teams and compete in a round-robin format at the Minneapolis Convention Center from June Granato was one of nine outside hitters on the roster. Last season as a UH sophomore, she was second on the team with 293 kills (2.9 kills per set) and third with 24 service aces. Granato notched 30 total blocks and 167 digs as a sophomore for the Rainbow Wahine. Maglio Steady in the Middle Senior middle hitter Emily Maglio is currently second on the squad with 98 kills. She is hitting a team-high.366 hitting percentage. Maglio also leads UH with 51 total blocks (four solo) averaging 1.42 per set. Against South Dakota, she recorded a season-high.786 hitting percentage pounding 11 kills with no errors in 14 attacks. Last week she posted a career-high 18 kills in a five-set thriller over Baylor. Maglio is the lone Rainbow Wahine to earn all-tournament honors in all three of UH s tourneys this season. Maglio has impressed the Rainbow Wahine coaching staff since stepping into a starting role at middle hitter as a sophomore. She continues to strive to improve her game after earning AVCA All-America honorable mention and all-big West first team honors last year. Maglio started every game last season, averaging a league high.400 hitting percentage with 133 total blocks. With Maglio s work ethic, the coaching staff believes that she will once again be a solid force in the middle for the Bows. She may also expand her role to play defense and play all the way around the six rotations. For her career, Maglio has put down 530 kills averaging 2.11 per set with 297 total blocks (22 solo) and 1.18 blocks per set. Maglio has played in 82 career matches during her collegiate career. Iosia Running Efficient Offense Sophomore setter Norene Iosia dished out a career-high 63 assists in last week s match vs. Baylor (9/8/17). She was ultra efficient leading the Bows against South Dakota two weeks ago (9/1/17) as UH hit.446 with just one hitting error on the first play of the match. Overall, Iosia has dealt out a team-high 373 assists and 15 aces while putting up 97 digs and 30 blocks. She leads UH with five double-doubles thus far--including two last week with 50 assists/12 digs against BYU and later 40 assists and 11 digs against Nevada. Iosia had a busy summer playing on the U.S. Women s Junior National Team. She competed in the 2017 FIBA Volleyball Women s U20 World Championships in Boca del Rio and Cordoba, Mexico. Iosia and MacKenzi Welsh (Michigan) were the two setters selected to the squad after being chosen from the 16-player training group from July 2-11 at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo.
