UH MANOA POLICY ON GENDER EQUITY IN INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS
Gender equity in athletics extends the doctrine of fairness to all areas of athletic activity at the University level. It is activated by a sense of moral obligation that exceeds any
specific duty to comply with legal requirements, although it also recognizes the necessity of observing the tenets of the Patsy Mink Act.
Its desired effect is to offer women and men equal opportunities to participate in
sports for which there is demonstrated interest among athletes in Hawai‘i and to provide equitable levels of support for coaching, travel, scholarships, operating expenses
and facilities used. Beyond these specific goals, gender equity also fosters an attitude
and establishes an environment in which men’s and women’s sports are encouraged in
comparable ways.
Those who support gender equity are willing to cooperate in frequent self-evaluations and to implement change so that all student-athletes can have the same opportunity to realize the highest level of their abilities.
A copy of the plan titled “Just Do It” is available in the Athletics Director’s Office.

GOVERNOR’S MESSAGE
Message from Governor Linda Lingle
and
Lt. Governor James R. “Duke” Aiona Jr.
presented to
The University of Hawai‘i Athletics Department
On behalf of the people of Hawai‘i, we send greetings of aloha to the University of
Hawai‘i’s student-athletes, coaches, staff and supporters.
Throughout the year, UH’s student-athletes bring great pride and excitement to our
state through their outstanding achievements in a variety of sports. In addition to excellent seasons from baseball, women’s soccer, and men’s and women’s volleyball and basketball teams, many others achieved historic success last year. The Warrior football team won a
school-record 11 games while quarterback Colt Brennan gained national attention by compiling one of the greatest statistical seasons in NCAA history. The Rainbow Wahine softball
team won its second-ever WAC regular-season title and advanced through the NCAA
Regionals to the Super Regional for the first time in school history. Also, the Rainbow
Wahine golf team made its first-ever appearance in an NCAA Tournament and men’s tennis
player Andreas Weber became the first Rainbow Warrior to ever earn a bid to the NCAA
Individual Championship.
Most importantly, we are all proud that our student-athletes continue to excel in the
classroom. Their commitment to their studies, in addition to their athletic training, is truly
impressive. We are pleased UH continues to promote excellence in both of these arenas.
We join with all of our citizens in extending a warm mahalo to the UH Athletics
Department and Athletics Director Herman Frazier for the steadfast commitment to excellence, as well as our best wishes for another exciting and memorable year.
Aloha,
Linda Lingle
Governor, State of Hawai‘i

The University of Hawai‘i Sports Media Relations
Office serves as a liaison between the UH Athletics
Department and media outlets. The office’s primary
function is to provide all the relevant media outlets
with information in an accurate and timely manner.
Although mainly a service to Hawai‘i’s local television, radio, newspaper, magazine and Internet
organizations, the Sports Media Relations Office
also provides services to national and international
media.
Since its beginning in 1970, the Sports Media
Relations Office has served as the central location
for the dissemination of information. Since then, as
the UH athletics program has grown and media
interest has increased, the role of the Sports Media
Relations Office has become much more significant.
Information on past and present athletes, photos and statistics are all kept on file in the Sports
Media Relations Office.
Along with its services to the media, the Sports
Media Relations Office also provides information to
University of Hawai‘i fans worldwide through its
Athletics Department homepage (HawaiiAthletics.com). The website showcases all of the
University’s 19 intercollegiate sports programs.
The Sports Media Relations Office staff updates
the website, which is maintained by Troy
Yamamoto, one of the first full-time Internet specialists in collegiate athletics. The site provides
information on teams, players and coaches, along
with statistics, schedules and history. It is also
used as a tool for promoting student-athletes for
national awards.
Another vehicle distributing information about
Hawai‘i’s athletics programs is media guides that
are produced for each sport annually by the staff
and students. The media guides contain information on the team, players, coaches and history, as
well as facts, statistics and superlatives on respective programs. These guides are a vital source of
information to the media and are used by the UH
coaching staffs as a tool in recruiting and promoting the University and its programs.
The Sports Media Relations Office is comprised
of a seven-member staff and several student assistants, headed by director Lois Manin. For the past
17 years – 12 as director – Manin has been a part of
the world of intercollegiate athletics. She has experienced many memorable moments in the Athletics
Department, including the record-setting men’s
basketball team that drew national attention for its
back-to-back 21-win seasons; the 1999 football
team that experienced the biggest turnaround in
NCAA history; and the baseball team’s return to the
NCAA tournament in 2006.
The current Sports Media Relations staff has
more than 70 years of combined experience in collegiate athletics at UH.
In an effort to keep the office focused on both
short- and long-term goals, the full-time staff
devised a Strategic Plan in 1996 to significantly
increase customer satisfaction and be recognized as
one of the top three media relations departments in
the Western Athletic Conference.

MEDIA INFORMATION
THE 2007 WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL MEDIA GUIDE
INTERVIEW POLICY
This publication has been provided to enhance fan participation and
assist the media in the coverage of Rainbow Wahine volleyball. The
Sports Media Relations Office will follow up with weekly releases
during the fall season to keep the media informed about the
Rainbow Wahine volleyball team.
All players and coaches will be available for interviews before or
after practice during the fall season. Although interviews are permitted after practice, interviews before practice are recommended.
If you wish to interview a particular player at a specific time, in
person or by telephone, arrangements should be made through the
Sports Media Relations Office at least 24 HOURS IN ADVANCE.
The best time to reach Coach Dave Shoji is between 8 a.m. and
12 p.m. on weekdays.
PRESS CREDENTIALS
Requests for working press, photo and broadcast credentials for
2007 home volleyball matches should be made in writing on company letterhead at least two weeks prior to the match. Direct all
requests to:
Pakalani Bello
Asst. Sports Media Relations Director
1337 Lower Campus Rd.
Honolulu, HI 96822-2370
Credentials will be available on match day at the pass gate of the
Stan Sheriff Center. A picture ID is required to pick up items at the
pass gate.
Due to the limited space available on press row, those news outlets
covering the Rainbow Wahine or their opponents on a regular basis
will receive top priority. All other credentials for print media are
issued on the basis of space availability. ESPN 1420, which has the
radio rights for UH volleyball, will be the only local radio station to
receive season credentials. Local radio stations with a full-time
sports director conducting a daily sports show of notable length will
receive first consideration.
“Play hard, play fair
then eat.”
PHOTOGRAPHERS
Photo passes are available for accredited news media and should be
ordered in the same manner as press credentials. In accordance
with NCAA and WAC rules, photographers must wear their credentials and must stay within the designated photo area. No credentials
will be issued to freelance photographers, cutline workers, equipment carriers or radio station representatives, except for the two
originating stations.
SERVICES
Programs and pre-game notes will be distributed prior to each
match. End-of-match box scores will be distributed after each
match. Final box scores with play-by-play will be available at the
conclusion of the match. A fax machine is available in the press
room. Arrangements for use should be made through the Sports
Media Relations Office.
POST-GAME INTERVIEWS
UH coaches and players will be available for interviews following a
10-minute cooling-off period after each match. All media members
should notify a Sports Media Relations representative with their
request for interviews. The coaches and players will be escorted to
the Green Room for all interviews.
(‘) WHAT’S THAT?
Q: Ever wondered what that punctuation mark in the word
“Hawai‘i” is?
A: In the Hawaiian language, it’s called an ‘okina, which
translated literally in English means separator.
Phonetically, it is referred to as a glottal stop, similar to the
sound that would be made in the English “oh-oh.”
The ‘okina is actually a letter in the Hawaiian language and
typed out looks like a backwards apostrophe.
The practice of the UH Sports Media Relations office is
to use the ‘okina in all Hawaiian words in which they occur.
The Hawaiian language also uses a kahako or translated literally in English as macron. The kahako is the line over certain vowels in the Hawaiian language. The UH Sports Media
Relations office is not using this mark because it is not readily available in most fonts.

In its 46th year, the
Western Athletic
Conference continues to
evolve and features some
of the nation’s best intercollegiate competition.
One thing that remains
unchanged is the persistent nature of the nine
schools in the WAC to
advance their programs to
contend at the top levels
of the NCAA.
The WAC provides its student-athletes the
chance to travel to scenic destinations and gain
exposure in some of the nation’s most diverse
markets. In addition, the WAC’s student-athletes
work to achieve the highest levels of success with
the academic support of their respective institutions.
The WAC has experienced tremendous success.
Over the past five years, it has won 61.1 percent
of its bowl games, the best winning percentage of
any conference in the nation. In the past five seasons, the WAC has sent 18 teams to bowl games
(11-7). Boise State has won 66 games since joining the conference, tied for the most in the
nation during that time span (2001-06). The
Broncos earned a BCS invitation and trip to the
2007 Fiesta Bowl where they defeated Oklahoma
in one of the most memorable bowl games of all
time. In men’s basketball, the WAC has sent at
least two teams to the NCAA Tournament in 23 of
the past 24 seasons. Every current school in the
WAC has competed in the NCAA Tournament since
1990. In women’s sports, Fresno State softball
has competed in every NCAA Tournament ever
held while Louisiana Tech has played in all but
one.
Current WAC alums have made their presence
felt as well. David Carr (Fresno State) was the first
player selected in the 2002 NFL Draft by the
Houston Texans. Cheryl Ford (Louisiana Tech) was
named the WNBA Rookie of the Year and helped
the Detroit Shock win the league’s championship
in 2003. And in 2004, the United States’ softball
team won the Olympic gold medal with former
Fresno State players Laura Berg and Lovie Jung.
In 2001, the WAC collaborated with ESPN for
coverage of football and basketball, giving the
conference national exposure from one of the
most respected broadcast entities in the country.
The WAC officially added WAC.tv in 2006 to give
fans streaming Internet access to many sports
including nearly every home football, volleyball
and basketball game played during the season.
The WAC is the sixth oldest among the nation’s
11 Division I-A conferences. Its history traces
back to July 27, 1962, when the original six-team
league of Arizona, Arizona State, Brigham Young,
New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming began competition.
2007 Rainbow Wahine Volleyball
The first championship was held in November
1962, when Arizona won the men’s cross country
title and New Mexico followed with the first WAC
football title. Arizona finished second in the
NCAA College World Series and, less than three
years later, Arizona State claimed the league’s
first NCAA title when the Sun Devils won the
College World Series trophy. Rice was the last
WAC school to earn an NCAA team title when it
won the College World Series in 2003.
Since then, several changes have occurred.
UTEP and Colorado State became members in
September 1967, while Arizona and Arizona State
withdrew on June 30, 1978. The WAC then added
San Diego State (1978), Hawai‘i (1979) and Air
Force (1980). Before 1990, the WAC sponsored
championships only in men’s sports. However, a
merger with the High Country Athletic Conference
formed a single conference under one administrative structure, and the 1990-91 athletic year was
the first in which both men and women competed
under the WAC name. Fresno State was added in
1992, and then in 1996, the women’s programs
from Air Force and Hawai‘i, along with six new
schools (UNLV, Rice, San Jose State, SMU, TCU
and Tulsa), came into the WAC. Air Force, Brigham
Young, Colorado State, UNLV, New Mexico, San
Diego State, Utah and Wyoming withdrew on June
30, 1999. Nevada (2000), Boise State (2001) and
Louisiana Tech (2001) were added while TCU withdrew following the 2000-01 season. The current
membership was established on July 1, 2005,
when Idaho, New Mexico State and Utah State
joined the WAC after Rice, SMU, UTEP and Tulsa
withdrew.
The WAC has had just five commissioners in its
history. Paul Brechler was named the first leader
of the conference and held the position from
1962-68. He was followed by Wiles Hallock (196871), Stan Bates (1971-80), Dr. Joe Kearney
(1980-94) and Karl Benson (1994-present).
Currently, the WAC crowns team and individual
champions in 19 sports - eight men’s and 11
women’s. For the men, there are championships
in baseball, basketball, cross country, football,
golf, tennis, indoor track and field and outdoor
track and field. Championships for women are
held in basketball, cross country, golf, gymnastics, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor track and field, outdoor track and
field and volleyball.
The WAC office has been located in the Denver
area since the conference’s inception with the
exception of a two-year stay in Phoenix from
1964-66.

As each year passes, University of Hawai‘i Head Coach
Dave Shoji seems to get a new award or reach a new
milestone. 2006 was no different, as Shoji became just
the second coach in NCAA history to reach 900 victories.
The historic win came on Sept. 2, as the Rainbow
Wahine swept Colorado in the Hawaiian Airlines Wahine
Classic. Adding to the moment was that the win came
with long-time coaching friend Andy Banachowski and
his UCLA team in attendance. Banachowski is the only
other coach with more than 900 wins.
The honors have piled up for Shoji over the years.
He is a nine-time conference and region Coach of the
Year and was named the national Coach of the Year in
1982. Shoji was named to the list of all-time great
coaches by USA Volleyball in 2002. He has also recently
been inducted in the Hawai‘i Sports Hall of Fame and
was named as the coach of the NCAA 25th Anniversary
team.
In 1975, a young Shoji took over the reins of the UH
women’s volleyball program. He was just 28 years old
with no clue that he would turn a one-year-old program
into a national powerhouse for the next three decades.
The team was coming off a 9-1 campaign in 1974
that ended with the Rainbow Wahine falling to UCLA in
the national title match at the AIAW Championship.
In Shoji’s first four years at the helm of the program, he took the team to two more national title
matches before it finally broke through to take the title
in 1979 with a five-game victory over Utah State in the
AIAW finals.
It was the school’s first-ever team national championship and a sign of great things to come for the young
program.
In 1981, Shoji became UH’s first full-time coach for
a women’s program. He led the team to another national
title, this time in the new NCAA Tournament in 1982,
beating the USC Women of Troy in a come-from-behind
five-game thriller.
Shoji would lead the team to another title in 1983
with a straight-set win over UCLA, becoming the first
school to win back-to-back national championships.
The Rainbow Wahine again returned to the national
championship match in 1987, capping a 37-2 season
with a sweep of Stanford for the program’s fourth
national title and third NCAA title.
926-163-1
The team lost to Texas in the 1988 national championship match and again to Stanford in 1996. They have
yet to reach the pinnacle of a national title match since.
The Rainbow Wahine experienced another great run
of success that started with the 1998 season, as transfer
Heather Bown led the team from a perennial Top 25
squad and NCAA Tournament team to again a national
title contender.
Hawai‘i made its way to the NCAA Regional Final in
1998 and was one of the top seeds in the 1999 tournament before a scrappy Texas A&M team beat UH in the
regionals.
Following that season, Louisiana-native Kim
Willoughby came to the program, joining Lily Kahumoku,
who was already establishing herself as one of the best
players in the country, to form a dynamic duo that would
lead the team to great success for another four years.
From 2000-03, the Rainbow Wahine advanced to the

HEAD COACH DAVE SHOJI
NCAA Championship national semifinal match three times, while
Shoji’s 2003 senior class became the winningest class in school history.
Under Shoji, UH volleyball finished in the Top 10 in 21 of the 25
final AVCA polls, and ranked in the top five 14 times. They have
made it to the postseason in all but one year, finishing with a winning record in all 32 seasons.
The 61-year-old was also responsible for the start of the men’s
volleyball program in 1978. Shoji served as the men’s coach at UH
from 1978-85, compiling a record of 81-48, leading the team to a
Western Collegiate Volleyball Conference title in 1980.
Shoji was a three-sport athlete at Upland High School in
California, playing football, basketball and baseball. He then moved
on to UC Santa Barbara, where he played baseball for a year, along

SHOJI THROUGH THE YEARS
1975
Shoji takes over the head coaching job and wins his first-ever
match at UC Riverside (15-17, 15-6, 15-13, 15-11). He finished
his first season with a 16-2 record, falling to UCLA in the
national championship match, 15-12 and 15-11.
In his fifth season at the helm, Shoji picked up win No. 100
against rival USC, 15-4 and 15-11, in the 1979
UCLA/National Invitational Tournament in Los Angeles on
Nov. 3.
But picking up his 100th victory fell in comparison to
Shoji’s big accomplishment in 1979, giving the University of
Hawai‘i its first-ever team national championship, beating Utah State in a
five-game thriller, 8-15, 7-15, 15-9, 16-14 and 15-12, in the AIAW National
Championship match. Shoji’s squad ended with a final record of 36-5.
1979
1982
It didn’t take long for Shoji to return his Rainbow Wahine to the national spotlight as UH won its
second national championship and first NCAA title with another five-game victory against USC
(14-16, 9-15, 15-13, 15-10, 15-12) in Stockton, Calif.
Along the way, the eighth-year coach went on to collect his 200th victory against UCLA in Pacific’s
Wendy’s Classic on Oct. 29.
Shoji led his team back to the NCAA Championships, this time as the favorites, as it swept
through Stanford and then UCLA to win its second straight NCAA title. The team ended up with
a 34-2 record and was 104-5 in the first three years of NCAA competition.
1985
1983
UH gave Shoji his 300th career victory on Oct. 10 in Los Angeles, beating Pepperdine,
15-13, 9-15 and 15-12, at the 1985 UCLA/NIVT. Hawai‘i finished the tournament with a 5-1
record.
Shoji led the Rainbow Wahine to their fourth national title with an overall record of 37-2. UH
hosted an NCAA Regional for the first time, beating Cal Poly and Pacific to advance to the NCAA
Championships in Indianapolis. After defeating Illinois in the national semifinal match, the
Rainbow Wahine beat Stanford, 15-10, 15-10, 9-15 and 15-1, to earn the crown. Although the
senior class of Reydan Ahuna, Suzanne Eagye, Mahina Eleneki and Diana Jessie
played an integral part in UH’s success, it was sophomore sensation Teee Williams who led
Hawai‘i to the title while being named the national Player of the Year.
1987
Shoji took his team for a pair of non-conference
matches at Wyoming and Colorado State during the
1988 season. On Oct. 21, at Wyoming, the Rainbow
Wahine won, 15-6, 15-9 and 15-9, to earn Shoji win
No. 400 in his career. The team returned to the NCAA
Championships later that season, but fell to Texas in the NCAA title
match.

SHOJI THROUGH THE YEARS
Win No. 500 came for Shoji in a 15-6, 12-15, 15-10, 15-3 win over Houston in the
1992 season-opening match in the Hawaiian Airlines Wahine Classic on Sept. 3.
That would be a good start to what would be a tough season for Hawai‘i, as it
became the only team in Shoji’s career not to make the NCAA Tournament with a
record of 15-12.
1992
In his team’s first year against WAC competition, Shoji celebrated his first WAC
win with his 600th overall victory, beating Fresno State on Sept. 20. Later that
season, Shoji led his team back to the NCAA Championships for the first time in
eight years before falling to Stanford in the NCAA title match.
1999
1996
On Oct. 30, Fresno State again played victim to a Shoji
milestone as he picked up win No. 700 in Fresno, Calif.,
with a 15-3, 15-5, 15-10 victory. The team had high hopes
of returning to the NCAA Championships, which were held
in Honolulu that season, but the team was upset by Texas
A&M in the NCAA Regionals.
Hawai‘i got back to the NCAA Championships in 2000, led by sophomore All-American Lily
Kahumoku. In the national semifinal match, the Rainbow Wahine found themselves in a battle
with undefeated and top-ranked Nebraska. UH fell in four games, 3-15, 12-15, 15-9 and
10-15, to the eventual national champion Cornhuskers in Richmond, Va.
2000
In his quest for a seventh trip to the NCAA Championships, Shoji found himself on the road against
two familiar foes, Brigham Young and Utah, late in the 2002 season. The Rainbow Wahine swept
BYU in Provo before giving Shoji win No. 800 on Nov. 27 at Utah, just two days before
Thanksgiving. Shoji had a lot to be thankful for that year as he became just the fourth women’s
volleyball coach to reach the 800-win milestone.
Hawai‘i would again advance to the national semifinal match before bowing out to defending
national champion Stanford, 25-30, 27-30 and 24-30, in New Orleans, La.
2002
The Rainbow Wahine advanced to their eighth NCAA Championships
overall and third in four years in 2003, going to Dallas with a
senior-laden team. Although Hawai‘i fell short of its goal of a fifth
national title, losing in four games to Florida in the national semifinal match, the Rainbow Wahine did reel off their third-highest win
total with 36 victories. Kim Willoughby became the fourth Rainbow
Wahine to win national Player of the Year honors while Kanoe Kamana‘o was the
first UH player to be named the national Freshman of the Year.
2003
Shoji earned career victory No. 900 vs. Colorado on Sept. 2,
becoming just the second women’s volleyball coach to reach the
900-win plateau.
The team went on to its ninth consecutive NCAA Regional,
which was held in Honolulu. The Rainbow Wahine would win a
thrilling five-game match vs. Southern California in the regional semifinals before falling to UCLA in the regional finals, just one win short of returning
to the NCAA Championships.

ASSOCIATE COACH KARI AMBROZICH
Kari Ambrozich
Associate Coach
11th Season
University of Hawai‘i (1996)
Kari Ambrozich enters her 11th year with the Rainbow Wahine
coaching staff, one of the longest tenures in the program’s history.
Ambrozich’s main responsibilities include following the academic progress of the players, recruiting, providing technical training
in practices, especially with the setters, and handling much of the
administrative duties in the volleyball office.
Specializing in setting, Ambrozich has coached four all-conference setters in her 10 years on staff, continuing the rich history of
setting excellence at UH.
In her first two seasons, she coached Nikki Hubbert, who broke
the school’s single-season record for assists (1,782) and assists-pergame average (14.61).
Jennifer Carey was Ambrozich’s second setter to train. Carey
played from 1999-2002, earning the starting setter job during her
freshman and sophomore seasons. Carey and Margaret Vakasausau
would share the setting duties in 2001 and ’02, where the duo
helped the Rainbow Wahine lead the country in assists per game
both years.
In 2003, Ambrozich coached her second true freshman starting
setter, Kanoe Kamana‘o. Kamana‘o was named the AVCA National
Freshman of the Year in 2003 and went on to become just the second four-time All-American in school history. Kamana‘o is also the
career leader in assists and assists per game in school and conference history, ranking seventh and eighth, respectively, in NCAA history.
As a four-year letterwinner for the Rainbow Wahine when she
was Kari Anderson, she still ranks in the Top 10 all-time on the UH
career list with 2,385 assists and a 10.51-assist average. During her
junior and senior seasons, she captained the squad and was also
named second team all-Big West in 1992.
She graduated from UH in 1996 with a bachelor’s degree in
business administration in international business, and is currently
working on her master’s degree in education administration in higher education.
Ambrozich also served as a coach for the Asics Rainbow
Volleyball Club for seven years, leading her 14-open team to a
national title in 1999.
Ambrozich made her way to Hawai‘i as a highly touted prepster
from Columbia Heights High School in Minnesota, where she guided
her team to consecutive state championships in 1989 and ’90. Her
many accolades include Metro Area Player of the Year, four AllAmerica teams, all-state, all-Metro Area and all-conference.
She resides in Kane‘ohe with her husband, Eric, who is a former
UH basketball player, and their two dogs. Her hobbies include running, reading and going to the movies.

ASSOCIATE COACH MIKE SEALY
Mike Sealy
Associate Coach
2nd Season
University of California, Los Angeles (1993)
Mike Sealy enters his second year on staff with the Rainbow Wahine,
joining the program in the spring of 2006. He is in charge of scouting, breaking down film, recruiting and providing technical training
during practices.
Under Sealy’s tutelage, the Rainbow Wahine became one of the
best blocking teams in the country, finishing the season fourth with
3.52 blocks per game. UH was especially dominant at the net down
the final stretch of the season, posting at least 10 team blocks in
each of their last 16 matches. They averaged 3.99 bpg in that
stretch, including a 4.66 bpg average in their seven postseason
matches (WAC and NCAA tournaments).
He also coached the ‘Imi ‘Ike club team that placed in the top
15 at the Junior Olympics in each of the past two years. Current UH
players Dani Mafua and Elizabeth Ka‘aihue were on those teams.
Sealy joined UH’s staff after spending four years at his alma
mater, UCLA, where he was an assistant on the men’s team while
also serving as an assistant with the women in 2005.
He also was a volunteer assistant for the Cal State Northridge
men in 2000 before working in the same capacity at UCLA in 2001.
In his playing days, Sealy was one of the top setters ever to play
for the Bruins. He ranks fourth on the all-time career assists list,
garnering All-America honors three times while winning national
Player of the Year honors in 1993.
In that 1993 season, Sealy guided the Bruins to a 24-3 record, a
conference title and the Bruins’ 14th national championship. He
was named co-Most Outstanding Player of the NCAA Tournament,
setting a UCLA offense that hit .420, an NCAA record.
After graduating in 1993 with a degree in physiological science,
Sealy moved on to play professionally in Switzerland, Belgium,
Holland and Puerto Rico.
He lives in Kailua with his wife, Romey. His hobbies include golf
and surfing.

2007 OUTLOOK
General
DEPTH CHART
Outlook: The Rainbow Wahine return seven players with significant
starting experience, including four players who earned all-WAC honors. UH is also adding five new players — two transfers and three
high school recruits — to the mix.
Shoji on the team: “If we’re 100-percent healthy, I like our
chances to contend for a national title. We finished last year in the
NCAA Regional finals with what probably wasn’t our ideal lineup. We
have depth at every position, our ball control will be better, and we
should have a balanced attack. The only position that we don’t have
experience at is the setting position. I think the setting will get better as the season progresses. By the end of the year, I think we’ll be
able to compete with anyone.”
Shoji on the 2007 schedule: “Our schedule is typical of our past
schedules, cutting it into three phases. We try to schedule a tough
preseason, with the likes of Colorado State, Louisville, UCLA and
Santa Clara, to get good experience. Then we have the WAC season,
with a blockbuster non-conference match at Nebraska in the middle.
The last part is the postseason, which determines the ultimate ranking of our team.”

Outlook: Hawai‘i returns all three players that started at the middle hitter position in 2006, headlined
by first-team all-WAC performers Juliana Sanders and Kari Gregory. The duo finished third and first,
respectively, in the conference in blocks per game in 2006.
The two will have to battle junior Nickie Thomas for the starting middle jobs. Thomas played in five
matches, starting three. Freshman Amanda Simmons and senior Caroline Blood add depth in the middle.
Juliana Sanders
Shoji on Sanders: “If Juliana can stay healthy, we look for her to have a banner senior season. She has
made tremendous strides in her four years in the program and this year should be her best.”
Shoji on Gregory: “Kari has had three years of productive output and, like Juliana, should enjoy her
best season ever. We know that she’s capable of putting up good numbers and I think the team will need
her to get those numbers even better.”
Shoji on Thomas: “Nickie has fully recovered from what kept her out most of last season. I hope she
will be at the level she was at the beginning of the 2006 season, when she won the battle for the first
middle position by hard work and improvement.”
Shoji on Simmons: “Amanda had a great final prep season and valuable experience with the Junior
National A2 team this summer. She is vastly improved physically and technically and will be a force for us
in the near future. She probably needs a year to learn the system and get comfortable at the college
level.”
Shoji on Blood: “Caroline gives us a capable backup and depth at the middle position. She was a valuable part of the team last year, especially in practice situations when she was pressed into service.”

2006 AVCA All-American; finished sixth nationally in kills (5.49)
2005 second-team all-WAC; earned medical hardship in 2006
Starting right side for the first half of 2006
Outlook: Hawai‘i returns two players that started at the left-side hitter position at the start of 2006 Jamie Houston and Tara Hittle, although Hittle only played in the first five matches of the season. The
two are again expected to be the starting left-side hitters on opening night.
Houston is coming off an All-American season, finishing with 5.49 kills and 2.57 digs per game.
Hittle was off to a good start in 2006, averaging 3.32 kills and 3.58 digs per game in five matches.
Backing up the two is junior Jessica Keefe. Keefe started on the right for a large part of the 2006
season. Newcomers Aneli Cubi-Otineru and Stephanie Ferrell also figure in the mix on the left.
Shoji on Houston: “Jamie is coming off a huge year offensively, as she ranked in the top 10 in kills per
game in the country. We’re looking forward to her increasing her offensive production while she’s also
working hard at being a better all-around player. She has improved her passing and defense. Her ability
to terminate and sideout makes us a better volleyball team.”
Jamie Houston
Shoji on Hittle: “Tara returns after having to sit out most of the 2006 season and will immediately
help our volleyball team. She has great ball control and will anchor our defense and passing. She’s also
shown the ability to be an offensive threat.”
Shoji on Keefe: “Jessica is a player who’s been in the program for four years, which equates to someone that knows the system and can play multiple positions. We’ll wait to see where she fits in best. She
will be considered as a left- and right-side hitter.”

Outlook: The right-side hitter position could go in a number of different directions for the Rainbow
Wahine. Going into the season, Shoji expects Nickie Thomas to start on the right, unless she wins one of
the starting middle hitter positions.
Amber Kaufman, who started on the right for the final 18 matches of the season, should also compete for the job. Kaufman averaged 1.49 kills and 0.91 blocks per game in 2006. Aneli Cubi-Otineru
could play on the right if Shoji wants to have a better ball-control lineup, while Jessica Keefe and freshman Stephanie Ferrell could also figure in the mix.
Tara Hittle
Amber Kaufman
Shoji on Kaufman: “Amber stepped up when we needed her and contributed greatly as a right-side,
even though she had never played the position before. With our depth in the middle, we’re moving her
exclusively to the right-side hitter position.”
Shoji on Cubi-Otineru: “We liked Aneli out of high school. Now that she’s in the program, she still
possesses the same qualities that make her a legitimate Division I outside hitter. She has a complete
game and plays bigger than her 5-11 stature.”
Shoji on Ferrell: “Stephanie Ferrell is really an unknown. She’s a good athlete and her best volleyball
is definitely ahead of her. She hasn’t played at a real high level in high school or club, but we feel she
can raise her game to the next level.”

Outlook: The Rainbow Wahine’s biggest question mark will be at the setter position as four-time AllAmerican Kanoe Kamana‘o graduated after solidifying the position since 2003. Redshirt freshman Dani
Mafua and sophomore Stephanie Brandt will compete for the starting nod. Mafua spent 2006 as a redshirt, learning the system behind Kamana‘o and senior Cayley Thurlby. Brandt started her true freshman
year at UC Santa Barbara before transferring to Hawai‘i in the offseason.
Shoji on Mafua: “Dani is a tremendous athlete who needs time to learn the setting position. She has
all the tools necessary to be a dynamic setter and will only get better. She’s lacking in-game experience
and needs to work on her set location.”
Shoji on Brandt: “Brandt comes to us with a great year of experience at UC Santa Barbara where she
started as a true freshman. We look to her to give us a steadying influence because of her experience.
She’s also a great defender and can help in our overall defense. She will just need some time to learn
our offense and the tendencies of our hitters.”

Elizabeth Ka‘aihue 5-8 Fr
Ranked No. 85 on prepvolleyball.com’s Senior Aces list
Outlook: Hawai‘i returns their starting libero, Jayme Lee, and its three main defensive specialists off
the bench, Raeceen Woolford, Elise Duggins and Rayna Kitaguchi, while adding its first recruited backrow player, Elizabeth Ka‘aihue.
Lee and Ka‘aihue are expected to compete for the starting libero job during the preseason,
although all five players will likely see time in some capacity.
Raeceen Woolford
Shoji on Lee: ”Jayme Lee had a tremendous year in 2006 after winning the position of libero early in
the season. She really gave the team a spark with her energy level and all-out play. She will have to battle a number of players who are vying for that position again this season.”
Shoji on Ka‘aihue: ”Liz is the first backrow player we’ve recruited and actually awarded a scholarship
to out of high school. She possesses an uncanny feel for the ball and makes difficult plays look easy. She
has a great feel for the game and we feel she can contribute in some defensive role right away.”
Shoji on Woolford: “Rae has given the team some solid backrow performances throughout her career.
She’ll be asked to come in and give us a spark off the bench again this season. She has tremendous
quickness and athletic ability. She can make the spectacular plays when needed.”
Shoji on Duggins: ”Elise is working hard to make a contribution to the team. She has improved since
coming to our program in the spring of 2006. She had some game experience as a sophomore and, with
improvement, can see action in 2007.”
Shoji on Kitaguchi: “Rayna is a hard-working, diligent player who needs an opportunity to show what
she can do. She has some skills that could lead to playing time.“

2006 SEASON REVIEW
Another Milestone For Shoji
The two wins over Pepperdine set head
coach Dave Shoji at 899 career wins heading
into the Hawaiian Airlines Wahine Classic.
The Classic field was strong with No. 5
Florida, No. 10 UCLA and Colorado.
The Rainbow Wahine opened the Classic
with Florida, and were quickly dismantled in
three games. But the milestone victory
wouldn’t wait much longer as Hawai‘i gave
Shoji his 900th win the following night vs.
Colorado.
UH would also fall to Wahine Classic
champion UCLA, the first win for the Bruins
over the Rainbow Wahine in four years.
Kanoe Kamana‘o
Two Thrillers To Start
Hawai‘i opened the 2006 season with high
aspirations of returning to the NCAA
Championships, where they hadn’t been
since 2003. UH returned five starters, with
all five earning all-conference honors in
2005.
They started off the year with two
matches vs. No. 19 Pepperdine, a team that
boasted a roster with seven players 6-3 or
taller.
The Rainbow Wahine found themselves
in a quick hole in the first match, losing the
first two games, 30-25 and 30-26. But
Hawai‘i battled back, taking the third game,
30-25, then winning a thrilling fourth
game, 33-31.
In the fifth game, the Waves got to
match point at 14-13. But Kari Gregory and
Jessica Keefe came up with a big block to
keep UH alive. Three points later, Juliana
Sanders put away her 15th kill of the match,
taking the thriller, 17-15.
Although it seemed impossible to match
the excitement of that match, the Rainbow
Wahine’s second match with Pepperdine may
have exceeded the prior. Hawai‘i won the
first two games, 30-28 and 30-26, only to
see the Waves take games three and four,
30-25 and 30-23, forcing another game
five.
UH would have to fight off five match
points in the game, with Hawai‘i taking the
game, 21-19, to escape the weekend
unscathed.
52
Who’s In Tonight?
The Rainbow Wahine fell to 3-2 after the
Wahine Classic, partly due to a preseason
schedule with four matches against ranked
teams. But another variable that played into
the losses was the inconsistency of UH’s
lineup.
Hawai‘i would start their fifth different
lineup in six matches in the Waikiki Beach
Marriott Volleyball Challenge opener vs.
Fairfield. But the lineup for the Fairfield
match raised more flags than any of the previous ones. Tara Hittle and Kanoe Kamana‘o
were out of the lineup for the first time.
Hittle ended up missing the rest of the season while Kamana‘o missed two matches,
the only two of her career.
With backup Cayley Thurlby running the
show, UH survived without its four-time AllAmerican, sweeping Fairfield with a fourgame win over Northwestern.
Jayme Lee
Jamie Houston
More Tough Pre-WAC Competition
UH’s final three matches before opening
conference play were against No. 8 Stanford
and No. 23 Cal Poly, twice.
The Stanford match was for the Waikiki
Beach Marriott Volleyball Challenge championship, marking the return to the starting
lineup for Kamana‘o.
Unfortunately, her presence wasn’t
enough to slow down the powerful Stanford
lineup as UH fell in three games.
Hawai‘i then ran into a hot Cal Poly
team the following week, proving to add a
couple more exciting matches to the schedule.
The Rainbow Wahine jumped out early
in the first match, taking a 2-1 lead after
convincingly taking game three, 30-16. But
the Mustangs came back, winning game
four, 30-26, to force a fifth game. In the
fifth, UH went ahead 14-11, holding match
point. But Cal Poly didn’t fold, holding off
four total match points before winning, 1715.
The loss dropped UH back to 5-4 for the
second straight season, tying the secondworst start in program history.
The Mustangs looked primed to take
two from the Rainbow Wahine the next
night, winning the first two games, 31-29
and 30-27.
But UH fought back, leading throughout game three to take it 30-23. Hawai‘i
then had to scratch and claw to a 30-28 win
in game four before taking the match with a
15-12 win in game five.

2006 SEASON REVIEW
All Streaks Must End
The Rainbow Wahine regained momentum at
the start of the WAC season, using an eightmatch winning streak to push them to the
top of the conference standings. The winning streak also led UH into its first match
against a ranked WAC opponent in eight
years, facing No. 25 New Mexico State in Las
Cruces, N.M.
Although they had control through most
of the match, the Rainbow Wahine kept letting NMSU back in games. UH won the first
game by a convincing margin of 30-22. They
were ahead 28-25 in the second game, only
to see NMSU take the game with a five-point
run, winning 30-28.
The Rainbow Wahine won game three,
30-27, and looked primed to take the match
as they were ahead, 20-13, in game four.
But the Aggies went on a huge run, scoring
17 of the next 21 points to win, 30-24, forcing a game five.
The Aggies then went on to win game
five, 15-13, ending UH’s 114-match WAC
winning streak and placing the two teams in
a tie for first in the conference standings.
Hawai‘i then rolled to victory in their
next seven matches. That would set up a
rematch with the Aggies, then ranked 20th,
at the Stan Sheriff Center on Senior Night,
with the WAC title on the line. The Rainbow
Wahine stepped up to the challenge, winning the match in convincing fashion, 3016, 30-18, 24-30 and 30-23. With two wins
on the road to end the regular season, UH
wrapped up its 11th straight WAC title.
Kari Gregory
Sarah Mason
Getting The Lefts Going Again
Midway through the season, UH left-side
hitters Jamie Houston and Sarah Mason
really started to turn into a dynamic duo
like the one Hawai‘i enjoyed with Kim
Willoughby and Lily Kahumoku.
The duo of Houston and Mason had four
matches in which they both had 20 kills or
more, marking the first time by Rainbow
Wahine since 2003.
The two posted the 20-20 matches vs.
Notre Dame (Oct. 17), New Mexico State
(Nov. 12), at Boise State (Nov. 15) and in
the NCAA Regional vs. Southern California
(Dec. 8).
Postseason Block Party
The Rainbow Wahine block was big all season, as UH finished fourth in the country
with 3.52 blocks per game. But it was down
the final stretch of the season when Hawai‘i
turned it up a notch, averaging 4.66 blocks
per game in the WAC and NCAA tournaments.
During the WAC Tournament, UH posted
a 5.20 blocks-per-game average, highlighted with 21 team blocks in the championship
match vs. New Mexico State (Nov. 24),
breaking the school rally-scoring record for
blocks in a four-game match. In the tournament, four players averaged over 1.50
blocks per game — Gregory (2.50 bpg),
Sanders (1.90 bpg), Kamana‘o (1.70 bpg)
and Amber Kaufman (1.60 bpg).
2007 Rainbow Wahine Volleyball
The following weekend in Long Beach,
Calif., for the NCAA first and second rounds,
Hawai‘i averaged 5.14 bpg. That included its
second straight 21-block night vs. Oregon
(Dec. 1), breaking the school rally-scoring
record for blocks in a three-game match.
Gregory led the charge, averaging 2.71 bpg
in the first two matches, including a 14block match vs. Oregon, breaking the school
rally-scoring record for blocks in a match
and the school record for blocks in a threegame match. UH also had 15 blocks in the
second-round match vs. Long Beach State,
marking the fifth consecutive match that
Hawai‘i had 14 or more blocks.
The Rainbow Wahine then posted 18
blocks vs. Southern California (Dec. 8) and
10.5 blocks vs. UCLA (Dec. 9) in the NCAA
Honolulu Regional, including a 14-block
performance by Sanders vs. USC, tying
Gregory’s mark for blocks in a match.

2006 SEASON REVIEW
Juliana Sanders
Getting Through Long Beach
When the NCAA Tournament bracket came
out, the Rainbow Wahine found themselves
headed to a place that they had seen in
many postseasons prior: Long Beach, Calif.
Long-time rival Long Beach State played
host to the NCAA first and second rounds
Hawai‘i posted a sweep of Oregon,
holding the Ducks to a -.010 hitting percentage in the match. That set up another
NCAA match with the Beach. LBSU had won
five of the six previous meetings between
the teams in NCAA Tournament play.
But the Rainbow Wahine quickly erased
the memories of Beach dominance, winning
the first two games, 30-28 and 30-25.
Long Beach State came back to win the
third game, 30-24, only to see UH dominate
game four, winning 30-17.
Heading Home For The Regional
With the two wins in Long Beach, Calif.,
Hawai‘i earned the right to go home for the
NCAA Regional that they were hosting. Also
heading to Honolulu were No. 4 UCLA, No. 5
Southern California and No. 13 Oklahoma,
making for a tough regional draw.
The Rainbow Wahine opened the
regional with USC. The Women of Troy were
27-4, holding the tournament’s No. 5 seed.
They boasted one of the top outside hitters
in the country in junior-college transfer Asia
Kaczor, a second-team All-American, and
libero Debera Seilhamer, the only libero to
earn All-America honors.
54
At the start of the match, it looked as
though Hawai‘i wasn’t in the same league as
the Women of Troy, falling behind 10-2 and
15-4 early in game one. But the Rainbow
Wahine dug deep, fighting back with a late
8-1 run to tie the score at 28-28. USC would
go on to win the first game, 30-28, but the
UH comeback served as proof to the team
and the crowd of 7,479 that the Rainbow
Wahine did, indeed, belong.
Hawai‘i rode the momentum into game
two, leading throughout en route to a 30-21
victory that tied the match at one game
apiece. USC answered with an equally dominant 30-21 win in game three, setting up a
historic battle in game four.
Game four saw 11 ties and four lead
changes. USC held a 23-22 edge late, before
a 4-1 run, capped by 5-8 Kamana‘o’s solo
block of USC’s 6-3 opposite Bethany
Johansen, put UH ahead, 26-24. From there,
Hawai‘i never looked back, taking the game,
30-27, setting up a fifth game.
The Rainbow Wahine ran with the
momentum of the game four win. With the
score tied 3-3, Houston put away a kill to
get Kamana‘o to the service line. The senior
served 11 straight UH points, giving Hawai‘i
match point at 14-3. The Rainbow Wahine
eventually won the game, 15-5, advancing
them to their first regional final since 2003.
Another Shot At The Bruins
The win over USC set up a match with longtime rival UCLA for a bid to the NCAA
Championships. The Rainbow Wahine were
playing the Bruins for the 64th time, the
most of any opponent in program history.
But Hawai‘i, and the near-capacity
crowd of 9,572, soon found out that the
long match against the Women of Troy the
night before had worn out the Rainbow
Wahine.
UCLA was also at the top of its game,
sweeping through Hawai‘i 30-16, 30-23 and
30-23, hitting .345 to UH’s .087.
With the loss, UH ended its season just
one win shy of their preseason goal of
returning to the NCAA Championships. The
two wins by UCLA over Hawai‘i during the
season also left a bitter taste in the mouths
of the Rainbow Wahine, helping to renew
the rivalry between the storied programs for
years to come.
In a season of ups-and-downs, plagued
with devastating injuries, the 2006 Hawai‘i
volleyball team fought through to a successful final run.

UH Bids Aloha To 2006 Class
The end of the season also signified the
end of the careers for Kanoe Kamana‘o,
Sarah Mason and Cayley Thurlby.
Kamana‘o left as one of the most decorated players in Hawai‘i volleyball’s illustrious history. She became just the second
player in UH history to become a four-time
All-American, the second player to win
three WAC Player of the Year awards and
the second player to garner first-team allWAC honors four times.
Kamana‘o finished with 6,428 assists,
the seventh-highest assists total in NCAA
history. Her 13.62 assists-per-game average ranks eighth all-time in the NCAA
record book, while she is the school and
conference career assists and assists-pergame record holder.
But the Honolulu, O‘ahu, native didn’t only get in the record books in the category of assists. Kamana‘o also ranks
third in the UH record book in career digs,
with 1,220; fifth with 403 block assists;
seventh in career blocks (428); and ninth
in service aces (96). Kamana‘o is the only
player in UH history to rank in the top 10
in assists, digs, blocks and aces for the
program.
Mason spent two years with the
Rainbow Wahine, gaining first-team allWAC honors both years. She also garnered
AVCA All-West Region honors in 2006
while earning AVCA All-America honorable
mention honors.
The Hilo, Hawai‘i, native finished her
career at UH with 734 kills, 458 digs, 76
aces and 138 blocks in just two seasons.
She ranks seventh in the UH record book
with 3.90 career kills per game and third
with .404 career aces per game.
Mason also had the third-highest ace
total in a season, finishing 2006 with 76
aces, while breaking the long-time, manytied, record for aces in a single-match
with nine vs. Fairfield (Sept. 7).
Thurlby was a part of the Rainbow
Wahine volleyball program since 2002,
and was a part of two final four teams.
The Naperville, Ill., native accumulated 421 career assists and 207 digs in 118
matches played. She was a three-time academic all-WAC honoree.

The 1979 Rainbow Wahine volleyball team became the first program at the University of Hawai‘i to win a national championship.
After finishing second three times (1974, ’75, ’77) and third twice
(1976, ’78), fifth-year head coach Dave Shoji mixed the right elements to produce a championship formula.
Seniors Waynette Mitchell, Terry Malterre and Angie Andrade,
along with sophomore Diane Sebastian, led the way to
Carbondale, Ill., site of the Association for Intercollegiate
Athletics for Women Nationals, where they earned all-tournament
team honors.
The two-and-a-half-hour marathon against Utah State ended
with Mitchell serving “aloha ball” and Bonnie Gouveia tooling the
Aggie block for the championship point. It was the first time in
AIAW history a team captured the national championship after
dropping the first two games, 8-15, 7-15, 15-9, 16-14, 15-12.

1982 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM
1982 NCAA CHAMPIONS
“USC had eliminated us in 1981 and just started to dominate collegiate volleyball at the time. They had a really young team and had
us down, 0-2. I think everyone was rooting for us because you don’t
like to see a team win all the time…and I think it was real important
that someone else win besides them.”
— Head coach Dave Shoji

The 1982 Rainbow Wahine volleyball squad won a second national
championship, the first as a member of the National Collegiate
Athletic Association, behind the dominating force of middle
blocker Deitre Collins, the hammering of Kori Pulaski and the fine
setting of Joyce Ka‘apuni.
Head coach Dave Shoji won his second national title in four
years and had the best record among the nation’s top coaches at
229-41-1.
The Rainbow Wahine fought hard to steal the championship
ring right off the finger of arch rival Southern California, 14-16,
9-15, 15-13, 15-10, 15-12. It was the second time the Rainbow
Wahine had come back from a two-game deficit to win the trophy.
Shoji earned Collegiate Volleyball Coaches Association Coach of
the Year honors and Collins earned final four MVP and first-team
All-America honors. The 1982 squad finished the season with a
remarkable 33-1 overall record.

“It was basically the same team that won in 1982. They took a business approach to the season. It was very methodical. They were
clearly the best team in the country and a lot of that had to do with
the confidence they had from winning the year before.”

The Rainbow Wahine won their third national title in 1983 against
UCLA and became the first team in NCAA women’s volleyball history to win back-to-back national championships.
Seven seniors led the way to victory in Lexington, Ky. In just
over an hour, the Wahine defeated UCLA, 15-13, 15-4, 15-10.
Deitre Collins and Joyce Ka‘apuni earned first-team All-America
honors, while Kori Pulaski received honorable-mention status.
Collins, who became only the second Rainbow Wahine three-time
All-American, also won the Broderick Cup, which honors the most
outstanding collegiate female athlete in the nation.
The Rainbow Wahine finished the season with an impressive
34-2 record, while seniors Collins, Ka‘apuni, Pulaski, Sista
Palakiko, Kris Pulaski, Marcie Wurts and Missy Yomes ended their
careers with a second NCAA championship.

1987 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM
1987 NCAA CHAMPIONS
“It was a senior-laden team that developed over their careers. They
all started out slowly and they took a long time (four years) to realize how good they could really get. They all got better each year and
finally peaked at the end of ’87.”
— Head Coach Dave Shoji
An overall record of 37-2 speaks for itself. After hosting the NCAA
first round and Northwest Regional for the first time ever in Klum
Gym, the Rainbow Wahine advanced to the final four in
Indianapolis, Ind.
It took almost two hours for head coach Dave Shoji to win his
fourth national championship in nine years. The win was Hawai‘i’s
first title and first final four appearance since 1983. The Wahine
captured the crown with a four-set victory over Stanford, 15-10,
15-10, 9-15, 15-1.
Ending their careers were seniors Reydan Ahuna, Suzanne
Eagye, Mahina Eleneki and Diana Jessie, all of whom were instrumental in Hawai‘i’s success during the season. Teee Williams
capped off a spectacular rookie campaign by being named
National Player of the Year.

UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATION
A noted business educator
with an entrepreneurial
mindset, David McClain,
president of the University
of Hawai‘i System, is also a
life-long sports participant
and enthusiast. Growing up
he played basketball and
David McClain
President
baseball, and in later life has
pursued - with varying
degrees of success - fast-pitch softball, volleyball, tennis and golf. At the University of
Kansas, McClain bowled on the university’s club
team which competed in the then-Big Eight,
and he briefly considered a professional bowling career. Over the past 15 years, McClain has
been active in UH Manoa athletics’ traditions
and is often seen enjoying various sporting
events with his family.
McClain first joined UH in 1991 as the Henry
A. Walker Jr. Distinguished Professor of Business
and professor of financial economics and institutions. He became dean of the College of Business
and the First Hawaiian Bank Distinguished
Professor of Leadership and Management in
2000, and became the vice president for academic affairs for the university system in July 2003.
He has served as the chief executive officer of the
UH System since June 2004.
McClain’s ability to reach out and connect
with students, alumni and the greater community can be seen with the many roles he has taken
on within the local arena. A director of ML
Resources and First Insurance, he also serves on
the board of Hanahauoli School and on a number
of other nonprofit boards in Hawai‘i.
After receiving a BA in economics and
mathematics from the University of Kansas,
McClain joined the U.S. Army, completing his
service as a first lieutenant in Vietnam. He
earned a PhD in economics from the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology and
taught at MIT’s Sloan School of Management
and at Universidad Gabriela Mistral in Santiago,
Chile. He has been a visiting scholar at Keio and
Meiji universities, and is on the board of advisors for Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University in
Japan. He was a tenured faculty member and
department chair at Boston University and
founding director of the Management
Development Program - Japan. He also served
as senior staff economist on the Council of
Economic Advisors to President Jimmy Carter
and head of international economic modeling
services for Data Resources, Inc.
McClain has headed the Asia Pacific
Economic Cooperation Business Management
Network and is a former director of the National
Association for Business Economics and of
Babson-United, a privately held financial services firm. He is the author of Apocalypse on
Wall Street, published by Dow-Jones/Irwin;
112
numerous scholarly articles; and several hundred columns on economic issues.
Having been at the university for 17 years,
McClain is very familiar with the university’s
athletics tradition and looks forward to any
opportunity he and his family have to enjoy a
game. As a father whose daughters have participated in NCAA sports, McClain is no stranger to
the spirit and dedication required of the student-athlete, and he looks forward to cheering
on Manoa’s student-athletes every season.
He is married to Wendie Kastler McClain,
an early childhood educator, literacy advocate,
former chair of the Hawai‘i Literacy board, and
avid golfer and sailor. The McClains have three
daughters, each of whom they’ve coached in
youth soccer, and have two
granddaughters.
The new chancellor of the
Manoa campus at the
University of Hawai‘i is
equally at ease wielding a
canoe paddle, test tube or
Virginia Hinshaw gavel. Virginia Hinshaw Manoa Chancellor
outdoorswoman, scientist
and administrator - took
over the head job at the University of Hawai‘i
System’s flagship campus in July.
“Working on a campus and in a state that
is culturally diverse was particularly appealing
to me and being around water has always
‘refreshed my soul’,” says the new Chancellor of
UH Manoa.
Hinshaw comes to Hawai‘i with an enthusiasm for reaching out to people on the Manoa
campus and throughout the community. She
always wears a name tag so people will feel
more comfortable approaching her: “That helps
accomplish my major activities - listening and
learning - and I am a quick study since I’ve
done it before. At the same time, I’m absorbing
the culture,” she says.
Hinshaw is an academic leader with a distinguished record of accomplishment at UC
Davis, where she served as provost and executive vice chancellor, and prior to that as vice
chancellor for research and dean of the graduate school at the University of WisconsinMadison. She is also a renowned scientist with
expertise in microbiology whose work over the
past 25 years has aided in the understanding of
the influenza virus and new approaches to
vaccines.
She was drawn to the challenges of leading the UH Manoa campus by the opportunity
to make a meaningful impact.
“Through research, education and public
service, we create the jobs of tomorrow, educate people for those jobs and prepare them to
be responsible citizens and lifelong learners those activities create great social good. So
joining all of you to build support and enthusiasm for the significant contributions of a high
quality institution like Manoa seems like a natural fit.”
In her new role heading the Manoa campus, she will be responsible for administrative
and academic oversight of 20,000 students and
about 6,000 faculty and staff members.
“I accepted the position because I felt it
was a strong match - I believe that my background, experiences and passions will be helpful in enabling UH Manoa to fulfill its goals and
maintain its values - plus I had wonderfully
positive interactions with the people both on
the campus and in the community.”
Hinshaw’s enthusiastic love of outdoor
activities is a natural fit for Hawai‘i.
“Snorkeling, swimming, hiking, fishing,
golf, white water rafting, canoeing - they all
provide wonderful ways for my family to enjoy
nature.”
UH Manoa’s new number-one sports fan is
no stranger to college powerhouses - she grew
up in Tennessee, attended high school in
Alabama and graduated from Auburn University
with a bachelor’s degree in laboratory technology and master’s and doctorate degrees in
microbiology.
She served on the Athletic Board at the
University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she
enthusiastically rooted for both of her sons,
who were athletes there.
Her other favorite activities include word
games, movies, mentoring, listening to music,
playing her Native American flute, raising
money for breast cancer research (as a breast
cancer survivor and thriver) and learning (“I
love to learn so I really enjoy getting to
learn something new”).
Hinshaw is married to her high school
sweetheart Bill and their family includes two
sons, Bill and Louis; two daughters-in-law (Keri
and Molly); and four grandchildren (Audrey,
Louis, Kai and Ronan).

ATHLETICS ADMINISTRATION
Hired as the University of Hawai‘i’s 17th director of athletics in August
2002, former Olympic champion Herman Ronald Frazier hit the island in
full stride and hasn’t looked back since. During his five-year tenure,
Frazier has dedicated himself to the welfare of UH’s more than 540 student-athletes by bolstering the financial standing of the department;
undertaking major facility improvements; implementing various programs to enhance the UH fan experience; and hiring six new head coachHerman Frazier es, including the selection in April 2007 of Bob Nash - the first new head
Athletics Director coach for men’s basketball in 20 years.
Frazier has tackled UH’s fiscal challenges head-on by producing
unprecedented revenue for the department. His goal of redesigning ‘Ahahui Koa Anuenue, the
UH booster club, has helped secure scholarship endowments surpassing $5 million, while the
preferred seating program and Frazier’s successful negotiations of exclusive radio and television contracts yielded $5.1 million more in 2006-07. Frazier was also the driving force behind
the first rent-free season for Warrior football games since moving into Aloha Stadium since
1975. As a result of Frazier’s efforts, the department ended 2006 with an annual net gain.
Three years earlier, UH suffered an annual net loss of $2.4 million.
Upgrading facilities continues to be a critical part of Frazier’s long-range goals. In 2005,
renovations were completed for the UH Tennis Complex, which shortly thereafter was named
National College Facility of the Year by the USTA. The first phase of Cooke Field renovations
has recently been completed with new lights and seating, while renovations at Duke
Kahanamoku Aquatic Center are currently underway. Funds have also been allocated to implement new turf and refurbished seating at Les Murakami Stadium.
Under Frazier’s leadership, UH has launched weekly e-newsletters (“H-Mail”), formed
the spirit groups Manoa Maniacs and UH Kids’ Club and implemented a new digital ticketing
system. UH also developed season-ticket deposit
programs this year for both football and men’s
basketball, allowing fans to initiate season-ticket
purchases earlier than ever before.
Before arriving at UH, Frazier spent 23 years
as an administrator at Arizona State University
and landed his first athletics director job at
Alabama-Birmingham in 2000.
Frazier’s ability to lead stems beyond the
Pacific Rim into all corners of the world as evident
by his last authoritative role - Chef de Mission of
Team USA for the XXVIII Olympiad in 2004 in
Athens, Greece. He is currently working with the
Frazier and WAC commissioner Karl Benson
USOC as a consultant on various issues.
Before Frazier began building an impressive resume as a leader, he was a multi-sport
athlete at Germantown High in Philadelphia.
From there, Frazier launched his collegiate athletic career at Division III Denison University, and
later at Arizona State, where he was an eight-time All-American and team captain of the 1977
national championship track team. He graduated from ASU in 1977 with a degree in political science.
Frazier made a name for himself in the Olympic arena running the leadoff leg of the gold medalwinning 4x400-meter relay team, while capturing a bronze medal in the 400-meter dash at the 1976
XXI Olympiad in Montreal. He was also a gold medalist at both the 1975 and ’79 Pan-American Games
and a member of the 1980 U.S. Olympic team that boycotted the XXII Olympiad in Moscow.
Since 2001, he has received numerous honors, including the NCAA Silver Anniversary Award,
which recognizes former student-athletes who have distinguished themselves after completing their
collegiate athletic careers 25 years ago. In 2003, Sports Illustrated tabbed him one of the 101 most
influential minorities in sports. He earned the distinction as one of the Top 50 Most Powerful Blacks
in Sports in the March 2005 issue of BLACK ENTERPRISE magazine. In 2006, the NCAA honored him as
one of the “100 Most Influential Student-Athletes” who have made a significant impact or major contribution to society. This award was presented in conjunction with the NCAA Centennial Celebration.
Frazier is currently engaged to Caroline Beal.
ATHLETICS MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the University of Hawai‘i Athletics Department is to operate dynamic sports programs
encouraging student-athletes in their pursuit of excellence in the realms of academic achievement
and athletic competition at the highest levels. The Athletics Department will provide equal opportunities to male and female students of all ethnic and cultural backgrounds, and will develop sportsmanship and ethical conduct. With aloha, we dedicate ourselves to earning the trust and loyalty of
our fans and community through exemplary sports programs.

research university of international standing, the
University of Hawai‘i at Manoa is the flagship
campus of the University system. UH Manoa’s
mission and that of the University system is to
provide quality high education and training in
addition to creating knowledge through research
and scholarship. The University also seeks to
contribute to the cultural heritage of the state of
Hawai‘i and fulfill the needs of the state through
a comprehensive array of undergraduate, graduate and professional degree programs. UH Manoa
is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of
Senior Colleges and Universities of the Western
Association of Schools and Colleges.
History
UH Manoa was founded in 1907 and is the oldest campus in the University system. The school
began under the auspices of the Morrill Act as a
land-grant college of agriculture and mechanic
arts, and in 1920, the school added the College
of Arts and Sciences to become the University
of Hawai‘i. Later, in order to distinguish UH
from other schools in the growing University
system, the school changed its name to the
University of Hawai‘i at Manoa.
Academic Excellence
Today, there are more than 20,000 students
enrolled in various degree-granting programs
at UH Manoa. The University has been recognized as the premier institution to study in
fields such as tropical agriculture, tropical medicine, oceanography, astronomy, volcanology,
comparative religion, Asian and Pacific Island
studies, and several more wide-ranging fields.
In addition, the UH Manoa offers instruction in
more languages than any U.S. institution outside the United States’ State Department. The
variety of undergraduate degree programs
offered at the University continues to expand
and even allows for students to create their own

specialized program. UH Manoa recently added
yet another degree program into its curriculum,
when the Hawai‘i State Legislature approved
funding for a film school, the Academy of
Creative Media, the first of its kind in the state.
Awards & Accolades
UH Manoa continues to be widely recognized for
its excellence in education. In 2006, the Shidler
College of Business was once again ranked
among the nation’s top 20 graduate schools for
international business by U.S. News & World
Report. The Richardson School of Law and John
Burns School of Medicine have been recognized
as the most diverse faculty and student populations in the country, mirroring that of Hawai‘i’s
population and allowing for a more enriched
learning environment for all students.
Meanwhile, the UH Manoa faculty has continued
to receive national and international recognition from as far as China, Japan and France in
fields such as journalism, literature information
technology and theatre.
A Majestic Location
The campus is centrally located in Manoa, a residential neighborhood that is part of metropolitan Honolulu. The beauty of the verdant Manoa
valley provides a backdrop for a unique and
inviting campus, yet students are just a few
minutes away from the cultural, commercial and
recreational activities of a cosmopolitan city.
Hawai‘i’s exceptional climate makes it possible
to enjoy outdoor recreation all year round.
Restaurants and cafés offer cuisines from
around the world, while various city events
offer students cultural diversions that complement their academic pursuits.
Top-Notch Facilities
UH Manoa is home to cutting-edge technology
and research facilities, such as the University’s
Mauna Kea facilities on the Big Island which
house the Gemini research observatory and two
of the largest telescopes in the world. In 2003,
walls were raised for a new medical school and
biomedical research facility in Kaka‘ako on
O‘ahu. Other off-campus facilities include the
Lyon Arboretum, the Waikiki Aquarium and the
world-class Hawai‘i Institute for Marine Biology
on Coconut Island.
Leaders in Research
UH Manoa is one of just 151 colleges and universities nationwide recognized as an extensive
doctoral/research university by the Carnegie
Foundation for its wide-ranging doctoral programs and research. From life-saving medical
breakthroughs, to environmental protection, to
economic stimulus, the scholarship and
research conducted by UH Manoa impacts the
quality of life on many levels. In recent years,
researchers were the first to successfully clone
multiple generations of mammals, use freezedried sperm to fertilize an egg, develop the
anti-cancer drug Cryptophycin-52, develop safe
hydrogen fuel storage cells and discover a
Japanese submarine downed in the Pearl
Harbor attack more than 60 years ago.
Vibrant Student Life
Intellectual rigor is balanced by a wide range of
leisure activities that include campus concerts,
cookouts, theatrical performances, recitals, ethnic performances, art galleries, debates, fairs
and celebrations. Students may choose to join
any of the school’s nearly 150 Registered
Independent Organizations (RIOs) and can tap
into a variety of on-campus services from the
Counseling and Student Development Center to
University Health Services. Meanwhile, UH Manoa
is home to eight residential complexes housing
more than 3,000 students, giving students an
opportunity to meet and socialize with their fellow classmates, while being close to classrooms,
campus jobs and numerous on-campus events.
Centennial Celebration
The University of Hawai‘i is celebrating its centennial during the 2007-08 academic year. From the institution’s humble beginnings
in 1907 as the College of
Agriculture and Mechanic
Arts, today it is a 10-campus university system that
includes the flagship UH
Manoa campus.

UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I
The Rainbow
Before 1923, UH teams were nicknamed the “Deans.” Then in the final game of the
1923 season, UH head coach Otto Klum’s squad upset Oregon State, 7-0, at Mo‘ili‘ili
Field. During the game, a rainbow appeared over the
field. Reporters started calling UH teams the
Rainbows, and the tradition began that Hawai‘i
would not lose a game if a rainbow appeared.
Rainbows, however, had magical powers long
before football came to the islands. Hawaiian chiefs
considered them sacred and used them as signs of a chief’s presence. A rainbow hovering over a newborn child indicated that he was of a god-like rank.
The rainbow was part of the official logo (above) at the UH Athletics
Department from 1982-2000.
The Warrior
The Warrior holds an honored place in Hawaiian history for it was the warrior who united the Hawaiian Islands under Kamehameha the Great. The Hawaiians expected the
warrior to display great strength, skill and a fighting spirit.
Although it wasn’t until 1974 that the UH football
team adopted the nickname “Rainbow Warriors,” the
university’s use of the name goes back a number of years.
One reason for using the nickname is the tremendous
amount of support of the UH scholarship fund-raising organization, ‘Ahahui Koa Anuenue-the Order of the Rainbow Warrior.
Since its inception in 1966, this organization has provided a tremendous amount of
support to Hawai‘i’s student-athletes.
The Wahine
In 1972, Dr. Donnis Thompson, a professor in the Health, Physical Education and
Recreation Department, with the assistance of the men’s Athletics
Department, created the first women’s athletics program. The
men’s program was known as the “Rainbows” and so Dr.
Thompson called the women’s athletics program the
“Rainbow Wāhine.”
The Hawaiian word “wahine” is translated in English
as woman and the pluralized word “wāhine” (with the
macron over the “a”), means women, hence the name Rainbow
Wāhine. She also created a new logo based on the Rainbow in a rounded version and
added the name “wahine.” Dr. Thompson became the first women’s athletics director
and served until 1981.
The Seal
The original university seal, adopted in 1921 by the Board of Regents and amended in
1946, contains a torch and book titled Malamalama (The Light of
Knowledge) surrounded by the state motto, Ua mau ke ea o ka‘aina i
ka pono (the life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness).
In 2006, the seal was updated to modernize it in a manner
that reflects its history, spirit and global perspective while providing a readable version for modern print, electronic and product applications.
The university motto, inscribed in both the Hawaiian and English
languages on Founders’ Gate at the entrance to the Manoa Campus on University Avenue,
is Maluna a‘e o na lahui o pau ke ola ke kanaka (above all nations is humanity).
The Colors
Green and white became the school’s colors when a group of faculty wives were deciding
on decoration and color schemes for the school’s social calendar. At the time, materials
took weeks to be shipped to the islands, making materials of many colors scarce.
The wives reasoned that basic white would always be available and green decorations could constantly be provided by Hawai‘i’s lush growth of tropical plants.
As it turns out, green is the color of Lono, the ancient Hawaiian god of agriculture. In addition, the use of green represents not only the richness of Manoa, but also
spiritual prosperity and success. The UH Manoa campus itself is located in the heart of
2007 Rainbow Wahine Volleyball
FIGHT SONG
“Co-ed”
Here’s to our dear Hawai‘i
Here’s to our Green and White
Here’s to our Alma Mater
Here’s to the team with fight
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Here’s to old warriors calling
Here’s to old battles won
Here’s to Hawai‘i's victory
Here’s to each valiant son.
ALMA MATER
In green Manoa valley our Alma Mater stands
Where mountain winds and showers refresh her fertile lands;
The flag of freedom beckons above her shining walls,
To larger truth and service our Alma Mater calls.
Hawai‘i, we have gathered within thy wide-flung doors,
As sons and daughters claiming her freely offered stores;
Our loyal praise we tender, and pledge to hold thy aim,
Till ocean’s far horizons shall hear thy honored name.
the rich and fertile Manoa valley. Green is also the color of the
ti leaf, a symbol of good omen, and emblem of divine power.
White, meanwhile, was associated with Hawaiian royalty
and is symbolized with the best and the finest.
With the creation of the new athletic logo in 2000, the
Athletics Department incorporated black and silver into its
color scheme.
For many cultures in Hawai‘i, black is a color that is
respected. For Hawaiians, it takes them back to the kumulipo,
the chant of creation, referring to the symbolism “from out of
the darkness.” The hidden meaning of which states that there
is a new birth, or one cleanses to start anew.
Silver comes from the shimmering reflection of rainfall as
it creates a blanket of mist over Manoa valley and a symbol of
hope and victory, ultimately forming a bow or arc of prismatic
color, the rainbow that is frequently seen over Manoa valley.
The New Logo
The UH Athletics Department unveiled a new logo in 2000. The
theme of the new logo and identity is pupukahi i holomua, translated into English as, “unite and move forward as one.”
Although the “H” outwardly represents Hawai‘i, it also carries the significance of the Hawaiian expression
and meaning of “ha.” In Hawaiian culture “ha” means the breath - the spirit
of life passed on to us from one person
to another, generation to generation,
with its lessons and success.
Although the patterns on the logo are inspired by the renaissance of the use of Hawaiian kapa designs, they are decorative.
They represent the characteristics of the different people who have
come together to obtain knowledge, success and efficient skills.
The triangles are universally symbolic. The three points
represent the balance of the individual: the body, mind and
spirit. Ancient Hawaiians believed that each entity with these
values could not stand strong without the other two. This is
the significance to the specific three triangles within the “H.”

Compliance
Coordinator
Housed at the Nagatani Academic Center, the staff enforces NCAA
rules and regulations in the areas of recruiting, amateurism, financial
aid and extra benefits. The staff works closely with each of the team’s coaches in these areas and identifies any
possible rules violations to the NCAA and its conference affiliation should they occur.
In addition, the compliance office monitors practice and playing seasons for each of the teams. They also
oversee all community service projects that each of the teams and student-athletes participate in.
The compliance office also heads the University’s appeals to the NCAA regarding medical hardship and
sixth-year waivers.
STUDENT AFFAIRS
STAFF
Under the leadership of Daniel Arakaki, the Student Affairs staff assists
student-athletes with college and living expenses such as housing,
meals, admissions, financial aid and scholarships.
Arakaki oversees a three-member staff which is housed in the

The primary purpose of the Student Affairs Office is to ensure that
all student-athletes meet NCAA Clearinghouse academic standards
while assisting coaches with each student-athlete’s admission to the
University. They work closely with the University’s Admissions and
Records office during this process.
The Student Affairs staff also evaluates all transcripts for incomDaniel Arakaki

with the admission and eligibility process.
In addition, the Student Affairs staff assists each student-athlete with on-campus housing and meal plans. For
scholarship student-athletes, the staff helps with renewals as well as summer school and fifth-year scholarships.
Many non-scholarship student-athletes seek financial aid and the office helps them with Pell Grants. They
also administer the Western Athletic Conference Student-Athlete Opportunity Fund, which assists with summer
school and other financial needs.

JACK BONHAM AWARD
Women’s volleyball player Kanoe
Kamana‘o, women’s basketball player
Brittany Grice (above right) and
baseball player Mark Rodrigues
(above left) were the recipients of the
2007 Jack Bonham Award in recognition of their outstanding performances
on and off the playing field.
Kamana‘o was a four-time All-American
and the most decorated setter in the program’s history. She finished as the
school’s all-time leader in assists and was
the WAC’s Player of the Year three times.
Grice was a four-year starter and twotime WAC all-defensive team member who
ranked second all-time in the school’s
blocks lists. However she will be remembered more for her work off the court as
an active member of the community.
Rodrigues, the staff ace as a senior,
overcame a variety of arm problems which
forced him to miss two full seasons.
Established in 1974 and named after
the late UH assistant athletics director,
the Bonham Award is considered the most
prestigious in the Athletics Department.
Faculty athletic representative Dr. Peter
Nicholson plays a key
role in UH Manoa’s athletic program. As a member
of the faculty, not the
Athletics Department staff, he has several
primary responsibilities including certifying the academic eligibility of all studentathletes; assisting with ensuring the
department and University complies with
NCAA and WAC rules; and acting as a liaison between the department and rest of
the campus. Dr. Nicholson has been a professor of English at UH Manoa since 1974.

Student-Athlete Academic Services
Academics and athletics go hand-in-hand for
student-athletes at UH Manoa and each one
must learn to balance the various demands
in their everyday college life.
The Student-Athlete Academic Services
(SAAS) office took charge of the academic
services for the Athletics Department in
2000 under the guidance of Dr. Ron Cambra.
The SAAS advising team oversees the tutoring, advising and scheduling aspects of each
student-athlete. They assure each studentathlete sets goals of getting a degree and
prepares for a career after graduation.
Special programs and services, designed
to meet the individual needs of each of the
approximately 500 athletes who participate in
any of UH’s 19 intercollegiate sports, are provided at SAAS. These comprehensive academic
and support programs include academic
advising; retention programs; personal,
career and performance-enhancement counseling; and a CHAMPS Life Skills Program.
Nagatani Academic Center
The $1 million Nagatani Academic Center
(NAC), funded by the late UH booster Bob
Nagatani, was constructed in 1999. The center was designed to offer student-athletes an
accessible environment where they can concentrate on their academic pursuits. The NAC
is equipped with two computer labs and
remains open an average of 70 hours each
week. The center also acts as a study hall for

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE
During the 2006-07 academic year, UH studentathletes received numerous academic recognition.
1 CoSIDA Academic All-American
7 CoSIDA District VIII All-Academic members
68 WAC & MPSF All-Academic Members
135 UH scholar-athletes
226 student-athletes earned GPAs of 3.0 or higher
during the Fall 2006 semester
UH Manoa student-athletes and is the hub for
meetings, study groups and one-on-one sessions with advisors and tutors.
In Fall 2002, the NAC annex, located on
the second floor of the Athletics Complex,
was opened to accommodate the growing
needs of student-athletes. The annex houses
a large central study area with three adjacent
break-out rooms. Freshmen are required to
meet in these mentoring or study-group
pods. The student-athletes as a whole log an
average of 1,655 study hall hours each week.
The NAC provides each student-athlete
with the opportunity to reach academic success. Furthermore, the center strives to
ensure that each student-athlete is provided
with the best chance of earning a degree.
The success of this goal is reflected in the
75-percent graduation rate of student-athletes, which is ranked in the Top 25 among
Division I public institutions.
CHAMPS/Life Skills
The NCAA’s CHAMPS/Life Skills program was
created to support the student development
initiatives of its member institutions and to
enhance the quality of the student-athlete
experience within the university setting.
UH Athletics believes that the development of the student-athlete is crucial to
their success in college and most importantly in life after they graduate.
The Life Skills program enables the student-athletes to take part in interactive classes,
programs, workshops and community service
projects that support the five CHAMPS commitment areas: academic excellence, athletic excellence, personal development, career development and community service.

Serving nearly 500 student-athletes in 19
intercollegiate programs at the University of
Hawai‘i Athletics Department is all in a day’s
work for the UH athletic training staff.
Eric Okasaki, an athletic trainer at UH
for over 30 years, heads the staff. He has
seen the department grow in leaps and
bounds, as he was the athletic trainer for
the 1980 Rainbow baseball team that
advanced to the College World Series and
accompanied the 2007 Rainbow Wahine
softball team to the NCAA Super Regionals,
servicing mostly all the other UH sports in
between.
Melody Toth, who co-headed the staff
with Okasaki, is set to retire from the
University of Hawai‘i Athletics Department
this fall after 30 years of service. Toth coordinated the women’s sports training program since its inception and worked with
women’s volleyball and men’s basketball primarily over the years.
Okasaki is assisted by four veteran
assistant athletic trainers in Jayson Goo,
Tara Humphreys, Brian Wong and Renae
Shigemura. In addition, certified graduate
assistants and athletic training students
help in the overall operation of the athletic
training facility.
The athletic training staff also includes
a medical staff, comprised of team physician
Dr. Andrew Nichols and a number of consultants from throughout the community. They
attend most UH-hosted events to provide
assistance to the athletic training staff.
The medical staff conducts general
physicals and orthopedic examinations on
each student-athlete to ensure they meet
the minimum requirements necessary to
compete in Division I athletics.
The athletic training staff is responsible for the care, prevention, evaluation and
rehabilitation for each of the student-athletes in their respective athletic programs.
All graduate students and full-time staff are
certified by the National Athletic Trainers’
Association (NATA) and travel with various
athletics programs.
In the fall of 2004, the Makai Athletic
Training Room, the main training room for
the Athletics Department, received a $1 million renovation. The facility features treatment and taping areas, walk-in hot and cold
therapy pools, and offices for the team
physicians and staff.
There are also three other athletic
training rooms on the UH lower campus: the
Mauka Athletic Training Room and facilities
at the Les Murakami Stadium and Stan
Sheriff Center.
Each are equipped with the latest technological resources on injury prevention and
rehabilitation. Isokinetic and cardiovascular
machines, electrical modalities and X-ray
units are also available.
The athletic training staff also works
with the Kinesiology and Leisure Science
(KLS) program in providing a clinical setting
for athletic training students to work on
their master’s degrees at the University and
towards NATA certification.

STRENGTH & CONDITIONING
STRENGTH STAFF
Since its construction in 1994, the Alexander C.
Waterhouse Physiology Research and Training Facility
has provided University of Hawai‘i student-athletes
the tools to excel with quality strength training in
their respective sports.
Strength and conditioning coach Tommy Heffernan

for optimal performance and injury prevention.
Coach
The student-athletes are granted the opportunity to
utilize various strength, flexibility and conditioning
methods, along with an education in body-type testing and nutrition for the athletes to
develop optimal individual performance and injury prevention. From the moment the studentathletes enter UH, the staff keeps records to chart each one’s career progression.
The 10,000-square-foot facility is named after the late Alexander C. Waterhouse, who
was inducted to the UH Circle of Honor in 1997. Waterhouse, a lifelong supporter of Hawai‘i
athletics, was the founder and chairman of the Nā Koa Football Booster Club and a member of
the ‘Ahahui Koa Anuenue Board of Directors.
Before his passing in March 1999, Waterhouse presented the University with a $300,000
contribution to establish one of the finest training facilities in the country.

The UH Letterwinners Club was formed in 1997 in order to promote pride and fellowship amongst letterwinners and to provide assistance to past and present athletes.
The LWC holds receptions at the newly renovated clubhouse on the UH Manoa campus. At these gatherings, former athletes have the opportunity to get together and reminisce about their playing days. Aside
from enjoying the company of former athletes, the LWC moves beyond socialization by giving back to current student-athletes.
In January and March of 2001, the LWC donated laptop computers to the Nagatani Academic Center.
With the help of these computers, student-athletes on the road are able to keep up with the demands of
school while traveling. The club has also assisted with fund drives for former letterwinners—Nate
Jackson (football) and John Mau (men’s volleyball)—to help offset medical costs.
The current membership of the LWC is made up of 150 former athletes, with 69 of them being life
members. Current members include: UH football head coach June Jones (football, baseball, men’s basketball); radio personality Dr. Larry Price (football, men’s volleyball, track); former NFL running back
Gary Allen (football); former dean of the UH College of Education, Dr. Charles Araki (football, track); UH
men’s basketball color analyst Artie Wilson (men’s basketball, baseball); chairman of the board and
director of the Finance Factors family of companies, Daniel Lau (baseball, track); and UH men’s basketball head coach Bob Nash (men’s basketball).
The sole requirement of joining the LWC is to have been listed for at least one year on a roster of any
sport recognized by the Athletics Department. Membership dues are based on when eligibility of the member was completed. It’s free for up to one year following completion of eligibility. For those who completed their eligibility 5-plus years since competition, dues are $100 for the first year, $60 for renewal, and
$30 for a spouse who is also a former letterwinner. For those enrolled 2 to 4 years since competition, $50
is due for the first year, $30 for renewal, and $15 for a spouse who is also a former letterwinner. Life members pay a one-time fee of $1000, which is either paid in one full payment, two payments of $500 within a
two-year period, or three payments of $350 within a three-year period. The money collected from the lifetime membership fee is added to an endowment fund to ensure the perpetuation of the club.
Members of the LWC enjoy benefits which include: a 50-percent discount on a season
ticket to a sport of their choice; a free ticket to one game and
reception in Honolulu; a decal; and subscription to
“Rainbow Letters.” Perhaps the greatest benefit for
the members, however, is the opportunity to give
something back to the UH athletics programs.

need your support. On behalf of the University of
Hawai‘i women’s volleyball team, I would like
to personally thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
Dave Shoji
Head Women’s Volleyball Coach
It was a dream come true...As a young girl involved in
school and club volleyball, I would go
to Rainbow Wahine volleyball
games and watch history in the
making. I am very thankful to
all the talented women athletes that had come before me
and who paved the road for
the many successes that the
program has enjoyed! There are
so many individuals and organizations to thank for all the support
that has been given over the years.
Being a Rainbow Wahine also means sharing a
special bond or “sisterhood” with past and present
Wahine. Getting together to reminiscence about past
experiences, some very different, others very familiar
and funny, is an incredible feeling!
Being a Rainbow Wahine meant playing great
volleyball against the top teams in the country, traveling, receiving an education, working hard each day,
being supported by the best fans in the nation and
having fun! Winning a national title was definitely
the topping on the cake!

CIRCLE OF HONOR
The University of Hawai‘i Sports Circle of Honor, a project sponsored by Bank of Hawaii, is now in its 24th year. What originally began as the UH Sports Hall of Honor in 1982 has found a new home and a new name on the inner concourse of the
University’s 10,300-seat Stan Sheriff Center, overlooking the court. Over the years, a total of 71 members and 10 teams
have been inducted into the Circle of Honor, including many former Rainbow Wahine volleyball players and three teams.
Over the past two years, three inductions have included women’s volleyball. In 2005, the 1987 NCAA Championship team
was inducted, while teammates Robyn Ah Mow and Angelica Ljungquist were part of the class of 2006. Bank of Hawaii
began this special project to spread its wings across the community. The bank provides the funding and design expertise
for the project, while the University provides the administrative support.

AWARD-WINNING MEDIA COVERAGE
Three of the main media members that cover the Rainbow Wahine have been recognized nationally for
their coverage of the sport of vollyball. Ann Miller, the volleyball beat writer for the Honolulu
Advertiser won the AVCA Grant Burger Media Award in 1999. Scott Robbs (below left), who has handled
the radio broadcasts for UH since 2002, won the same award in 2004-05. Cindy Luis, the beat writer
for the Honolulu Star-Bulletin, was the recipient of the Grant Burger Award in the print category in
2005-06, while her preseason publication, “Wahine Insider,” (below right) earned recognition by the
Associated Press Sports Editors as one of the top 10 special sections in the nation by a newspaper with
a circulation of 40,000-100,000.
The broadcast team of Jim Leahey and Chris McLachlin is
in its third decade of covering the Rainbow Wahine
together for KFVE. The local television station broadcasts
all home matches.
This year’s TV schedule includes the entire Hawaiian
Airlines Wahine Classic and UH’s non-conference road
match at Nebraska on pay-per-view in the islands.
Rainbow Wahine volleyball is regularly
featured in national publications, like
Sports Illustrated On Campus (below
left) and various volleyball magazines
(right). The coverage doesn’t only
stop with sports magazines as the
statewide phenomena that is UH volleyball reaches into local magazines,
even being included in a five-page
spread in the Hana Hou! magazine
(left) that appeared on all Hawaiian
Airlines flights.

Where else in collegiate volleyball?
Where else in collegiate volleyball do you
regularly see crowds in excess of 7,000?
Where else in collegiate volleyball do both
the home and visiting teams receive lei from
the fans after the match? Where else in collegiate volleyball do fans stick around for
hours after the match to watch Senior Night
ceremonies and then meet and take pictures
with team members? Where else in collegiate volleyball? The answer is nowhere else,
except the Stan Sheriff Center on the campus of the University of Hawai‘i.
132
The SSC is the facility that boasts record
crowds in women’s volleyball year in and
year out, leading the closest competition in
the country by 2,000 to 3,000 per match
every season.
The center, named after the man who
lobbied for its construction, former UH athletics director Stan Sheriff, has served as
the home of the University of Hawai‘i men’s
and women’s basketball and volleyball
teams and has played host to a number of
memories in the last decade.
Many highlights have come recently.
The women’s volleyball team won an SSCrecord 39 home matches from 2003 through
’05. The men’s basketball team won 24
straight home games between 2001 and ‘03,
the longest streak for the program in the
SSC and just two short of the school record.
Meanwhile, the women’s basketball team
hosted the program’s first-ever postseason
game in the arena in 2001.
The men’s and women’s volleyball
teams have smashed nearly every attendance record since playing at the SSC en
route to six NCAA Championship appearances (women, 1996, 2000, ’02 and ’03; and
men, 1995 and ’96). UH’s impressive fan
support have lured the 1997 and 2004 men’s
and the 1999 women’s NCAA volleyball
championships. The SSC can hold 10,300
fans, making it one of the largest facilities
in the Western Athletic Conference.
The SSC also plays host to many non-UH
events. High school state championships
and musical concerts are regularly held at
the UH arena. The Los Angeles Lakers have
conducted several preseason camps at the
SSC. National television audiences tuned-in
to see NBA and WNBA stars suit up for Team
USA in a stop before the 2000 Summer
Olympics. The SSC even hosted the 1998
Miss Universe Pageant.

STAN SHERIFF CENTER
In the spring of 2004, USA gymnastics
hosted the Pacific Alliance Championships
at the Stan Sheriff Center. Teams from
Australia, Canada, China, Chinese Taipei,
Colombia, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea,
Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, the
Philippines, and the United States competed
in the three-day event.
The SSC is one of the most visible buildings on the UH campus. The arena stands 113feet tall and is capped by an aluminum dome.
The two concourse levels combined cover a
total of 187,000 square feet. Kauahikaua and
Chun of Honolulu and Heery Architects of
Atlanta designed the SSC.
The dome roof of the SSC is designed to
hold over 100,000 pounds of scoreboard,
speakers, catwalks, divider drapes, and a
104-foot by 130-foot rigging grid. The catwalk itself can support nearly 145,000
pounds of light- and sound-rigging equipment.
In 1998, the SSC saw its first phase of
renovations. The renovations included four
home locker rooms, three visitor locker
rooms, an official’s locker room, a player
lounge and rest area, a full-size training
facility, equipment and laundry room, three
hospitality rooms, three classrooms, an
interview room, and a teaching lab.
Recent additions include four 18x24
fiber-optic projection screens at the four
corners of the arena, giving all in attendance a good view of a video screen.
The SSC is also home to the Edwin S.N.
Wong Hospitality Suite, named after longtime supporter, the late Ed Wong.
The Alexander C. Waterhouse
Physiology, Research and Training Facility is
housed on the ground-floor level of the SSC.
Over 400 student-athletes train in the
10,000-square-foot weight training and
conditioning center. The facility was named
after Alec Waterhouse, who is described as
the “Patron Saint” of UH football.
Rich Sheriff, the youngest son of Stan,
has been managing the SSC since its opening and is assisted by Russ Gima and Kekoa
Seward. Students provide a vital work force
in the arena with more than 20 employed.
