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. 2007 Rainbow Wahine Volleyball 1 07 wvb media guide.qxp 8/9/2007 10:24 AM Page 2 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.

Hawai‘i is the most isolated population center in the world - 2,390 miles from California; 3,850 miles from Japan; 4,900 miles from China; and 5,280 miles from the Philippines. From east to west, Hawai‘i is the widest state in the United States. The state’s capital, Honolulu, is the nation’s 11th largest metropolitan area. More than 100 world-renowned beaches are on O‘ahu, including those on the North Shore of the island. Honolulu was recently ranked as the second safest city in the United States. Hawai‘i is the only state that grows coffee. More than one-third of the world’s commercial supply of pineapples comes from Hawai‘i. Kaua‘i’s Wai‘ale‘ale Mountain averages 488 inches of rain per year and is considered the wettest spot on Earth. Kilauea volcano on the Big Island is the world’s most active. The Big Island is the worldwide leader in harvesting macadamia nuts and orchids. There are no racial or ethnic majorities in Hawai‘i. Most of the population has some mixture of ethnicities.

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.

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. ©2007 Jack in the Box Inc.

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. 9 07 wvb media guide.qxp 8/9/2007 10:25 AM Page 10 HEAD COACH DAVE SHOJI Dave Shoji Head Coach 33rd Season UC Santa Barbara (1969) Education: UC Santa Barbara, 1969 Year at Hawai‘i: 33rd Coaching Record: 926-163-1 Coaching Honors: 926 career victories 32 consecutive winning seasons 28 20-plus win seasons 16 30-plus win seasons .851 career-winning percentage ranks first nationally among active coaches Four national championships: 1979, ’82, ’83, ’87 39 All-Americans Nine-time conference Coach of the Year Nine-time region Coach of the Year 1982 National Coach of the Year 10 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 2007 Rainbow Wahine Volleyball 07 wvb media guide.qxp 8/9/2007 10:25 AM Page 11 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.

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. 1988 12 2007 Rainbow Wahine Volleyball 07 wvb media guide.qxp 8/9/2007 10:26 AM Page 13 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. 2006 2007 Rainbow Wahine Volleyball 13 07 wvb media guide.qxp 8/9/2007 10:26 AM Page 14 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.

Tang lives in Honolulu, O‘ahu, where he enjoys exercising, surfing the Internet and collecting memorabilia. 16 Ryan Tsuji enters his seventh year with the Rainbow Wahine volleyball program, fifth as the team manager. Tsuji, a 2007 graduate of the University of Hawai‘i in political science, helps with the preparation and organization of team practices and assists the coaching staff during matches. Tsuji was a four-year letterwinner in volleyball at Waiakea High School, where he graduated in 2001. He was named honorable mention all-state and first-team all-Big Island Interscholastic Federation. He also helped his club team, Pilipa‘a, place eighth overall at the Junior Olympics in 2001. He also helps coach the ‘Imi ‘Ike club volleyball team that has placed in the top 15 at the Junior Olympics over the past two seasons. Two current Rainbow Wahine, Dani Mafua and Elizabeth Ka‘aihue, were members of those club teams. Tsuji also coached the Pilipa‘a boys volleyball team which captured the 2004 boy’s national championship in Austin, Texas, and placed third the following year at the 2005 Junior Olympic’s in Louisville, Ky. That team included current Warrior volleyball player Cory Enriques. He was also the co-founder, along with former UH AllAmerican Lily Kahumoku, of the “Mok-Tsu” volleyball camps that were held on the neighbor islands during the summer of 2003 and is the head coach of the “Rusty Wahine” volleyball team that plays in the Haili Volleyball Tournament. The team has been made up of former Rainbow Wahine volleyball players, including Ashley Watanabe, Lauren Duggins, Kanoe Kamana‘o, Nohea Tano, Jennifer Carey, Melissa Villaroman, Aven Lee and Leah Karratti. Tsuji is from Hilo, Hawai‘i, but currently resides in Honolulu, O‘ahu. He enjoys going to the beach. Renae Shigemura enters her sixth year with the Rainbow Wahine volleyball program, as she was with the team since 2001, missing only the 2005 season while she was working at Mililani High School. She travels with the volleyball team, handling the treatment and care of student-athletes on a daily basis. Prior to her time with the Rainbow Wahine, she handled the training duties for the men’s volleyball team. Shigemura is a trainer certified by both the National Athletic Trainers’ Association and Hawai‘i Athletic Trainers’ Association. Born and raised in Hawai‘i, Shigemura prepped at Saint Francis School where she played on the Troubadour basketball team for four years, garnering all-ILH honors. She resides in ‘Aiea, O‘ahu. She enjoys playing tennis and golf. 2007 Rainbow Wahine Volleyball 07 wvb media guide.qxp 8/9/2007 10:26 AM Page 17 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.” Setter Dani Mafua or Stephanie Brandt Middle Hitter Juliana Sanders Kari Gregory Nickie Thomas Amanda Simmons Caroline Blood Left-side Hitter Tara Hittle Jamie Houston Jessica Keefe Aneli Cubi-Otineru Stephanie Ferrell Right-side Hitter Nickie Thomas Amber Kaufman Aneli Cubi-Otineru Jessica Keefe Stephanie Ferrell Libero/DS Jayme Lee Elizabeth Ka‘aihue Raeceen Woolford Elise Duggins Rayna Kitaguchi Middle Hitters Returnees NO 1 4 9 5 NAME Juliana Sanders Kari Gregory Nickie Thomas Caroline Blood HT 6-2 6-2 6-3 6-0 CL Sr Sr So Jr NOTES 2006 AVCA All-Region; two-time first-team all-WAC 2006 first-team all-WAC; ranked 12th nationally in blocks (1.59) Started three matches; sidelined for majority of the season Has a career hitting percentage of .857 (7-for-8) NAME HT Amanda Simmons 6-2 CL Fr NOTES Ranked 57th on prepvolleyball.com’s Senior Aces list Newcomer NO 14 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.” 2007 Rainbow Wahine Volleyball Kari Gregory 17 07 wvb media guide.qxp 8/9/2007 10:27 AM Page 18 2007 OUTLOOK Left-Side Hitters Returnees NO 8 3 6 NAME Jamie Houston Tara Hittle Jessica Keefe HT 6-1 6-0 6-2 CL Jr Jr Jr NOTES 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.” Right-Side Hitters Returnee NO 2 NAME HT Amber Kaufman 6-0 CL So NOTES Named to the WAC All-Freshman Team in 2006 CL So Fr NOTES Earned 2005 Junior College All-America honors Ranked 99th on prepvolleyball.com’s Senior Aces list Newcomers NO 13 17 NAME HT Aneli Cubi-Otineru 5-11 Stephanie Ferrell 6-1 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.” 18 2007 Rainbow Wahine Volleyball 07 wvb media guide.qxp 8/9/2007 10:27 AM Page 19 2007 OUTLOOK Setters Jayme Lee Returnee NO 11 NAME Dani Mafua HT CL 5-10 Fr NOTES Redshirted the 2006 season Newcomer NO 10 NAME HT Stephanie Brandt 5-9 CL So. NOTES Earned Big West All-Freshman honors at UC Santa Barbara 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.” Liberos/Defensive Specialists Returnees NO 18 15 16 12 NAME Jayme Lee Raeceen Woolford Elise Duggins Rayna Kitaguchi HT 5-2 5-7 5-8 5-8 CL So Sr Jr So NOTES Named to the WAC All-Freshman team in 2006 Averaged 1.68 digs per game in 97 games in 2006 Averaged 1.68 digs per game as a defensive specialist Had four digs and an assist in 13 games in 2006 Newcomer NO NAME HT CL NOTES 7 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.

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. 2007 Rainbow Wahine Volleyball 07 wvb media guide.qxp 8/9/2007 10:33 AM Page 53 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 ALL-WAC TEAMS First Team PLAYER Alice Borden Jackie Choi Erin Curtis Cameron Flunder Kari Gregory Jamie Houston Kanoe Kamana‘o Sarah Mason Kim Oguh Juliana Sanders Jessie Shull Amber Simpson Second Team PLAYER Saxony Brown Colleen Burke Niki Clement Teal Ericson Tristin Johnson Haley Larsen Amanda Nielson Shannon Phillips Karly Sipherd Stacy Sode Jackie Stroud Krystal Torres POS OH S MB MB MH LS S LS MH M L MH TEAM New Mexico State New Mexico State Idaho Boise State Hawai‘i Hawai‘i Hawai‘i Hawai‘i New Mexico State Hawai‘i San Jose State New Mexico State POS S MB OH OH S OH OPP OH MB DS L L TEAM Idaho San Jose State San Jose State Nevada Nevada Idaho Utah State Louisiana Tech Nevada Idaho Boise State New Mexico State All-Freshman Team PLAYER POS Lacey Gera OH Jayme Lee L Debbi Pederson MB Melissa Larson MB Jorgan Staker RS Amber Kaufman RS TEAM Fresno State Hawai‘i Idaho Utah State Nevada Hawai‘i WAC Player of the Year: Kanoe Kamana‘o, Hawai‘i WAC Coach of the Year: Mike Jordan, NMSU WAC Freshman of the Year: Lacey Gera, Fresno State 53 07 wvb media guide.qxp 8/9/2007 10:33 AM Page 54 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. 2006 AVCA ALL-AMERICA TEAMS FIRST TEAM PLAYER Foluke Akinradewo Cynthia Barboza Nicole Fawcett Megan Hodge Kanoe Kamana‘o Jordan Larson Angie McGinnis Nana Meriwether Christal Morrison Sarah Pavan Nellie Spicer Courtney Thompson SECOND TEAM PLAYER Alesha Deesing Ashley Engle Christa Harmotto Asia Kazcor Bryn Kehoe Marisa Main Amber McCray Meredith Nelson Angie Pressey Airial Salvo Jackie Simpson Tracy Stalls THIRD TEAM PLAYER Kristen Carlson Katie Carter Racel Holloway Jamie Houston Danielle Meyer Michelle Moriarty Ashley Nu‘u Kristin Richards Eliane Santos Debora Seilhamer Jessica Swarbrick Whitney Webb INSTITUTION Stanford Stanford Penn State Penn State Hawai‘i Nebraska Florida UCLA Washington Nebraska UCLA Washington POS MB OH OH OH S OH S MB OH RS S S INSTITUTION POS Washington MB Texas RS Penn State MB Southern California RS Stanford S Ohio State S Florida RS Minnesota MB California OH Utah OH Wisconsin S Nebraska MB INSTITUTION POS San Diego OH UCLA OH Nebraska S Hawai'i OH Ohio State MB Texas S Colorado S Stanford OH Oklahoma MB Southern California Lib Washington MB Utah RS AVCA Division I Freshman of the Year: Megan Hodge (Penn State) AVCA Division I Player of the Year: Sarah Pavan (Nebraska) Tachikara/AVCA Division I Coach of the Year: Andy Banachowski (UCLA) 2007 Rainbow Wahine Volleyball 07 wvb media guide.qxp 8/9/2007 10:33 AM Page 55 2006 SEASON REVIEW Cayley Thurlby AVCA/USA TODAY FINAL TOP 25 POLL RK 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 SCHOOL Nebraska Stanford UCLA Washington Penn State Minnesota Texas Southern California Hawai‘i Florida Wisconsin Oklahoma California San Diego Utah Ohio State Cal Poly Purdue Louisiana State Brigham Young Missouri Duke New Mexico State Colorado Ohio RECORD 33-1 30-4 33-4 29-5 32-3 26-8 24-7 27-5 29-6 30-3 26-7 26-5 22-10 26-6 28-4 25-8 23-6 23-11 26-6 25-6 18-13 29-4 33-4 17-12 28-5 Others receiving points and listed on two or more ballots: Long Beach State 64; Santa Clara 56; Pepperdine 25; Iowa State 24; St. John’s 24; Louisville 9; Colorado State 7; Northern Iowa 7; Middle Tennessee 6. 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. 2006 AWARD WINNERS Kari Gregory All-Western Athletic Conference, First Team All-Tournament, WAC Tournament Tara Hittle All-Tournament, HAL Wahine Classic Jamie Houston AVCA All-American, Third Team AVCA All-West Region All-Western Athletic Conference, First Team All-Tournament, Waikiki Beach Marriott Challenge Tournament MVP, WAC Tournament WAC Player of the Week (Aug. 28, Oct. 9, Nov. 27) Kanoe Kamana‘o AVCA All-American, First Team AVCA All-West Region Western Athletic Conference Player of the Year All-Western Athletic Conference, First Team All-Tournament, WAC Tournament Academic All-Western Athletic Conference CoSIDA Academic All-District VIII, Second Team WAC Player of the Week (Sept. 18, Nov. 6) Amber Kaufman WAC All-Freshman Team Academic All-Western Athletic Conference Jayme Lee WAC All-Freshman Team Academic All-Western Athletic Conference Sarah Mason AVCA All-American, Honorable Mention AVCA All-West Region All-Western Athletic Conference, First Team All-Tournament, Waikiki Beach Marriott Challenge All-Tournament, WAC Tournament Juliana Sanders AVCA All-American, Honorable Mention AVCA All-West Region All-Western Athletic Conference, First Team All-Tournament, WAC Tournament WAC Player of the Week (Nov. 6) Cayley Thurlby Academic All-Western Athletic Conference italics indicate 2006 opponent 2007 Rainbow Wahine Volleyball 55 07 wvb media guide.qxp 8/9/2007 10:33 AM Page 56 2006 STATISTICS Overall Record: 29-6 (Home: 17-5, Away: 8-1, Neutral: 4-0); WAC Record: 15-1 (Home: 8-0, Away: 7-1) PLAYER MP/GP K K/GM Blood, Caroline 6/6 6 1.00 WAC 5/5 5 1.00 Sanders, Juliana 35/123 279 2.27 WAC 16/53 135 2.55 Thomas, Nickie 5/11 27 2.45 WAC 0/0 0 0.00 Kamana‘o, Kanoe 33/115 62 0.54 WAC 16/53 24 0.45 Gregory, Kari 35/123 253 2.06 WAC 16/54 119 2.20 Houston, Jamie 32/122 670 5.49 WAC 15/51 292 5.73 Mason, Sarah 35/114 459 4.03 WAC 16/54 229 4.24 Kaufman, Amber 26/78 116 1.49 WAC 16/45 72 1.60 Keefe, Jessica 17/52 72 1.38 WAC 7/18 20 1.11 Hittle, Tara 5/19 63 3.32 WAC 0/0 0 0.00 Thurlby, Cayley 30/72 16 0.22 WAC 13/33 4 0.12 Ong, Kelly 9/10 0 0.00 WAC 5/5 0 0.00 Recca, Makana 1/1 0 0.00 WAC 1/1 0 0.00 Kitaguchi, Rayna 11/13 0 0.00 WAC 6/7 0 0.00 Woolford, Raeceen 35/97 1 0.01 WAC 16/45 0 0.00 Lee, Jayme 35/123 1 0.01 WAC 16/53 1 0.02 Duggins, Elise 34/91 0 0.00 WAC 15/39 0 0.00 Team WAC Hawai‘i 35/126 2025 16.07 WAC 16/55 901 16.38 Opponents 35/126 1817 14.42 WAC 16/55 727 13/22 E TA PCT.

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 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.

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”).

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.

As a 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 114 View From Hawai‘i Hall 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. 2007 Rainbow Wahine Volleyball 07 wvb media guide.qxp 8/9/2007 10:43 AM Page 115 UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AREAS OF EXCELLENCE FAST FACTS Nationally Competitive Top-25 programs include environmental law, Eastern philosophy, international business, second language studies and athletics.

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.” 117 07 wvb media guide.qxp 8/9/2007 10:45 AM Page 118 Business Office Staff Support Staff Administrative Staff ATHLETICS STAFF Paula Nishimoto Administrative Asst.

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 Serenda Valdez ing high school and transfer student-athletes. They must validate that Director of Asst. Director of each student-athlete has enough units to meet all of the school’s acadStudent Affairs Student Affairs emic entry standards. They assist high school counselors and registrars 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. 2006-07 COSIDA ACADEMIC ALL-AMERICA & ALL-DISTRICT VIII Annett Wichmann All-America-3rd District-1st (Track and Field) 122 Dale Gammie District-1st (At-Large) Clare Warwick District-1st (Softball) Taryn Fukuroku District-2nd (Soccer) Lauri Hakala District-2nd (At-Large) Kanoe Kamana‘o District-2nd (Volleyball) Jessica Domingo District-3rd (Soccer) 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. 2007 Rainbow Wahine Volleyball 07 wvb media guide.qxp 8/9/2007 10:48 AM Page 123 ACADEMIC SERVICES ACADEMIC STAFF Ron Cambra Jennifer Matsuda Asst.

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.

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. 123 07 wvb media guide.qxp 8/9/2007 10:49 AM Page 124 ATHLETIC TRAINING ATHLETIC TRAINING STAFF Eric Okasaki Melody Toth Head Athletic Trainer Head Athletic Trainer Jayson Goo Tara Humphreys Renae Shigemura Asst.

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. 2007 Rainbow Wahine Volleyball 07 wvb media guide.qxp 8/9/2007 10:49 AM Page 125 STRENGTH & CONDITIONING STRENGTH STAFF Since its construction in 1994, the Alexander C.

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.

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. 2007 Rainbow Wahine Volleyball 131 07 wvb media guide.qxp 8/9/2007 10:54 AM Page 132 Stan Sheriff Center STAN SHERIFF CENTER 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. 2007 Rainbow Wahine Volleyball 07 wvb media guide.qxp 8/9/2007 10:54 AM Page 133 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.
