Tiff's takeaways for UH Women's Volleyball - Week 11

On July 30th, the Mountain West Conference announced that the four-team women’s volleyball championship would be hosted by UNLV at the Pavilion during Thanksgiving Week. A couple of weeks later, the MW released its preseason poll. UTEP, UC Davis, Grand Canyon, Wyoming. Hawai`i was picked to finish fifth in the 10-team conference. Bulletin board material maybe? New conference, a new coaching staff that was hired less than 100 days prior to the start of the season and with eight returning from a 12-17 2025 season, no one really knew what to expect from this edition of Rainbow Wahine Volleyball. To most, fifth sounded about right. It just sounded odd that for a program with so much history and tradition, they were placed in the middle of their conference. UH solidified its 2026 schedule and among the roadtrips was one to Las Vegas as the Rainbow Wahine hosted the Lucky Aces Women’s Volleyball Invitational at the Orleans Arena. With the Bows taking a 2-1 Invitational record back home with them, the thought process was to be back in the 702 in two plus months to play in the conference tournament. MW play started at home with two 3-0 wins over New Mexico. We now head into senior week and the final homestand where UH is unbeaten at home in conference play (8-0 overall and hasn’t dropped a set in the process). Along the way as the Rainbow Wahine continued to focus on the process, they took both matches at GCU by 3-0 scores, won the series at Wyoming (3-2, 3-1) and split the UC Davis series. Before night two against Nevada on Saturday, Hawai`i learned they had officially clinched a bid into the conference tournament with UNLV’s loss at Wyoming. With their second win against Nevada, the Bows punctuated the night with a 25-5 third set victory en route to clinching a share of the regular season conference title. The magic number to clinch the regular season title and the number one seed is now at 1 (one UH win or one UC Davis loss). To quote Miliana Sylvester from that September roadtrip, “Vegas Baby!” Bows are indeed Vegas bound during Feast Week and with UH being the first (and only team so far) to qualify, you the Rainbow Wahine have a chance to start buying tickets for the 2026 Credit Union 1 Mountain West Volleyball Championship presented by Palms Casino Resort. Get your tickets now at https://unlvtickets.evenue.net/events/MWCVB and get them quick as The Pavilion only holds 2500.
