Aloha Wahine Volleyball Booster Club Members,
Our Rainbow Wahine volleyball team just got back from their last regular season road trip of the year (a very successful one!) and coach Dave Shoji informed me that the UHAD marketing department has been trying to work with him to arrange an autograph session for the fans with the team. Unfortunately, the only date that the autograph session could possibly be held is our scheduled potluck date this Saturday. So the last potluck of the year is canceled.
The team and coaches appreciate the three potlucks that the club has put on this year. Come out on Saturday for the alumnae match and the autograph session. After this Saturday's match, all that's left of the home season will be the WAC Tournament next week and two matches against Cal Poly sandwiched around Thanksgiving. Then it's on to the post-season! Go 'Bows!
Stanley Ching
Wahine Volleyball Booster Club President, 2007-2009
On Tuesday night, November 4, the Rainbow Wahine leave for their last regular season road trip of the 2008 season. The matches on Thursday, November 6 at Boise State; Saturday, November 8 at Idaho; and Monday, November 10 at Fresno State close out the conference season. All matches will be broadcast by ESPN 1420 AM.
