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. 2006 Rainbow Wahine Volleyball 1 06 wvb media guide.qxp 8/1/2006 5:53 PM 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 (UH) student-athletes, coaches, staff, and congratulate them for their outstanding athletic and academic achievements. Our state takes pride in the accomplishments of the UH intercollegiate athletics program. Among some of the many highlights were the impressive performances of our Rainbow men’s and women’s volleyball teams, the coed sailing team placing fourth at the PCIYRA Dinghy Championship, the baseball team’s trip to the NCAA Tournament, the men’s basketball team’s seventh straight winning season, and the softball team’s WAC Championship runner-up finish. We are also proud of the University of Hawai‘i’s commitment to academics and the student-athletes who excel in the classroom as well as in the sports competitions. Many UH student-athletes have gone on to become leaders in their fields of study. On behalf of the people of Hawai‘i, we commend the UH Athletics Department, and its Athletics Director Herman Frazier for the unwavering commitment to excellence, and offer our best wishes for success in the coming year.

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 16 years – 11 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 65 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 2006 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. 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. We proudly support Coach Dave Shoji and the entire University of Hawaii Rainbow Wahine Volleyball team. May all your NCAA dreams come true this year. 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. fhb.com • Member FDIC 2006 Rainbow Wahine Volleyball 7 06 wvb media guide.qxp 8/2/2006 2:26 PM Page 8 QUICK FACTS School Information Team Information Location . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Honolulu, HI Founded . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .1907 Enrollment . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .19,081 Nickname . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Rainbow Wahine Colors . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Green, Black, White & Silver Conference . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Western Athletic Arena . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Stan Sheriff Center (10,300) Press Row Number . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .(808) 956-9408 President . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .David McClain Athletics Director . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Herman Frazier SWA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Marilyn Moniz-Kaho‘ohanohano Head Coach . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Dave Shoji Alma Mater (Year) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .UC Santa Barbara (1969) Record at Hawai‘i (Years) . . . . . . . . . . . . . .897-157-1 (31 years) Record Overall (Years) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Same Volleyball Office Phone . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .(808) 956-6229 Volleyball Office Fax . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .(808) 956-9771 Best Time To Contact . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Weekday mornings Associate Head Coaches . . . . . . . . . . .Kari Ambrozich, Mike Sealy Athletic Trainer . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Renae Shigemura Equipment Coordinator . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .James Buccella Letterwinners Returning/Lost . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .13/3 Starters Returning/Lost . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .5/2+libero Media Relations Media Relations Director . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Lois Manin Volleyball Contact . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Pakalani Bello Office Phone . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .(808) 956-7506 Cellular Phone . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .(808) 291-9234 E-Mail Address . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .pakalani@hawaii.edu Office Fax . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .(808) 956-4470 Office Mailing Address: UH Sports Media Relations Office 1337 Lower Campus Rd.

The Rainbow Wahine are currently riding a 107-match conference winning streak, dating back to 1998. Hawai‘i reached its eighth straight regional in 2005, the secondlongest current streak in the country (only behind Nebraska’s 12 straight). For just the second time in school history, UH returns a threetime All-American in Kanoe Kamana‘o. The Rainbow Wahine led the nation in attendance for the 12th straight season with a 7,302 average. It was also the fourth-straight year that UH averaged over 7,000 per match.

One thing that remains unchanged is the persistent nature Commissioner of the nine schools in Karl Benson 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 four years, it has won 57.1 percent of its bowl games, the second best winning percentage of any conference in the nation. In the past three seasons, the WAC has sent a total of 11 teams to bowl games. Boise State has won 53 games since joining the conference, the fourth most in the nation. In men’s basketball, the WAC has sent at least two teams to the NCAA Tournament in 22 of the past 23 seasons. Every current school in the WAC has competed in the NCAA Tournament since 1990. Fresno State softball and Louisiana Tech women’s basketball have both competed in every NCAA Tournament ever held. 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 partnered with ESPN and added a regional network for unprecedented coverage of football and basketball. Over the past three years, the networks have shown a total of 72 football games, by far the most in a three-year period in WAC history. 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. 2006 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 that year, 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 (1968-71), Stan Bates (1971-80), Dr. Joe Kearney (1980-94) and Karl Benson (1994-present). Presently, 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 06 wvb media guide.qxp 8/1/2006 5:56 PM Page 10 HEAD COACH DAVE SHOJI Dave Shoji Head Coach Education: UC Santa Barbara, 1969 Year at Hawai‘i: 32nd Coaching Record: 897-157-1 Coaching Honors: 897 career victories 31 consecutive winning seasons 27 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 37 All-Americans Nine-time conference Coach of the Year Nine-time region Coach of the Year 1982 National Coach of the Year 10 32nd Year As Dave Shoji’s career continues, recognition for the job he has done with the University of Hawai‘i and the sport of women’s volleyball keeps pouring in. This past season, Shoji picked up his second straight WAC Coach of the Year honor, his ninth conference award in his career, and his third-straight AVCA West Region Coach of the Year award, ninth overall. But the biggest honor bestowed upon Shoji this past fall came when he was named the coach of the NCAA 25th Anniversary team that included UH superstar Deitre Collins, along with Stanford’s Logan Tom and Kerri Walsh, Long Beach State’s Danielle Scott, Pacific’s Elaina Oden and UCLA’s Natalie Williams. “I’m very honored to be included as the coach of these all-time great players,” Shoji said. “Those players were on teams that Hawai‘i fans will never forget because of their great record against us.” That came just a little over a year after Shoji was inducted into the Hawai‘i Sports Hall of Fame. In 1975, a young Shoji took over the reins of the University of Hawai‘i 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. “I don’t think that anybody could’ve envisioned what women’s volleyball would be like in 30 years when I started in 1975,” Shoji said. “It has evolved not only at UH but around the country from what used to be kind of a cult sport, with a small fraternity of players around the country, into a major team sport. To play in front of crowds of 7,000 on a regular basis - I don’t think that ever crossed anyone’s mind back then.” UC Santa Barbara (1969) 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 would take 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 the first full-time coach for a women’s program at UH. 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-frombehind, 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. “When I look back to what was the most memorable or my fondest memories, I’d have to say it was the Klum Gym Era,” Shoji remembered. “That’s where it all started. We had some unbelievable matches there from 1977 to the early 1990s. There were some unforgettable moments against the likes of Long Beach State, UCLA and Pacific that the whole state will always remember. I think the experiences at Klum are the reasons that we get the kind of crowds now at the Stan Sheriff Center. Klum Gym is where the state of Hawai‘i fell in love with volleyball.” 2006 Rainbow Wahine Volleyball 06 wvb media guide.qxp 8/2/2006 2:28 PM Page 11 HEAD COACH DAVE SHOJI 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 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 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 20 of the 24 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 31 seasons. “I guess time really does fly when you’re having fun,” joked Shoji. “It’s great to see the success that has come not only to Year 1975 1976 1977 1978 1979 1980 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 Totals W 16 14 22 28 36 34 37 33 34 33 28 31 37 33 29 28 26 15 19 25 31 35 25 32 29 31 29 34 36 30 27 897 Overall L T 2 0 5 0 5 0 10 1 5 0 10 0 2 0 1 0 2 0 11 0 13 0 7 0 2 0 3 0 3 0 6 0 5 0 12 0 11 0 5 0 1 0 3 0 8 0 3 0 2 0 2 0 6 0 2 0 2 0 1 0 7 0 157 1 Pct. .889 .737 .815 .731 .878 .773 .949 .971 .944 .750 .683 .816 .949 .917 .906 .824 .839 .556 .633 .833 .969 .921 .758 .914 .935 .939 .829 .944 .947 .968 .794 .851 Conference W L Pct. — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — 10 6 .625 15 3 .833 17 1 .944 18 0 1.000 17 1 .944 16 2 .889 15 3 .833 11 7 .611 13 5 .722 15 3 .833 18 0 1.000 16 0 1.000 14 0 1.000 13 1 .929 14 0 1.000 16 0 1.000 13 0 1.000 13 0 1.000 13 0 1.000 13 0 1.000 16 0 1.000 306 32 .905 2006 Rainbow Wahine Volleyball Hawai‘i volleyball but also to the sport as a whole.

He then moved on to UC Santa Barbara, where he played baseball for a year, along with three years of volleyball. He earned All-America honors as a volleyball player in 1968 and ’69. He earned his bachelor’s degree in physical education in 1969. After spending two years in the U.S. Army, Shoji returned to Hawai‘i to coach the Kalani High School girls’ and boys’ volleyball teams. He then took an assistant coaching job at Punahou School. Shoji and his wife, the former Mary Tennefos, reside in Manoa. Mary Shoji will serve as the assistant coach for the Punahou girl’s volleyball team in the fall. They have three children. Cobey, 27, works at Stanford University; Kawika, 18, is a freshman on the Stanford men’s volleyball team, coming off a summer when he was on the U.S. Junior National Team; and Erik, 17, is a junior at Punahou School.

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 November 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 October 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 October 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 October 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 2006 Rainbow Wahine Volleyball 06 wvb media guide.qxp 8/1/2006 5:57 PM 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 September 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 September 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 October 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 November 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 enters the 2006 season just three wins shy of becoming only the second women’s volleyball coach to post 900 victories. He has won AVCA Regional Coach of the Year honors in each of the last three years while winning WAC Coach of the Year honors the last two years. 2006 2006 Rainbow Wahine Volleyball 13 06 wvb media guide.qxp 8/2/2006 2:29 PM Page 14 ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH KARI AMBROZICH Kari Ambrozich Associate Head Coach Kari Ambrozich, formerly Kari Anderson, enters her 10th year with the Rainbow Wahine coaching staff after she was a setter at UH for four years.

She’s proven to be a good allaround coach with the ability to handle a variety of assignments.” Under Ambrozich’s tutelage, the Rainbow Wahine led the country in assists per game in 2001 and 2002. In 1998, setter Nikki Hubbert broke the school’s single-season record for assists (1,782) and assist average (14.61). As a four-year letterwinner for the Rainbow Wahine, 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. 14 10th Season Hawai‘i (1996) Ambrozich graduated from UH in 1996 with a bachelor’s degree in business administration in international business. 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.

This past summer, Tsuji coached the ‘Imi ‘ike club volleyball team that took 11th at the Junior Olympics in Atlanta, Ga. Current Rainbow Wahine volleyball player Dani Mafua was the captain of the team. 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 was made up of former Rainbow Wahine volleyball players, including Ashley Watanabe, Lauren Duggins, Nohea Tano, Jennifer Carey, Melissa Villaroman, Aven Lee and Leah Karratti. Tsuji is from Hilo, but currently resides in Manoa. He enjoys going to the beach. Renae Shigemura rejoins the women’s volleyball program after working at Mililani High School and with the UH women’s basketball team in 2005-06. Shigemura served as the women’s volleyball trainer from 2001-04. 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. She resides in ‘Aiea, O‘ahu. She enjoys playing tennis and golf. 2006 Rainbow Wahine Volleyball 06 wvb media guide.qxp 8/2/2006 12:12 PM Page 17 2006 OUTLOOK General DEPTH CHART Outlook: The Rainbow Wahine return seven players with significant starting experience, including five players who started at least 15 matches in 2005, all of whom earned all-WAC honors. Heading the group is three-time All-American Kanoe Kamana‘o, who has started every match in her three years at UH. Shoji on the team: “We’re looking forward to the 2006 season with great anticipation. We return many key players from last year’s NCAA Regional team, and even though we lost three starters, we think we can replace them with players who have some special qualities.” Shoji on the 2006 schedule: “Our early schedule will be very challenging. We have perennial powerhouses like Stanford, UCLA, Florida, Notre Dame and Pepperdine, along with tough, NCAA-caliber teams from good conferences in Colorado, Northwestern and Cal Poly. And the WAC continues to improve. We’ll be challenged by upand-coming teams like New Mexico State, who gave us all we could handle last season, and Idaho, while Nevada, San Jose State and Fresno State are teams that are always tough and should provide a challenge.” Setter Kanoe Kamana‘o Cayley Thurlby Dani Mafua Middle Hitter Juliana Sanders Kari Gregory Nickie Thomas Amber Kaufman Caroline Blood Left-side Hitter Tara Hittle Jamie Houston Sarah Mason Jessica Keefe Alicia Arnott Right-side Hitter Sarah Mason Jessica Keefe Amber Kaufman Cayley Thurlby Alicia Arnott Libero/DS Raeceen Woolford Jayme Lee 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 Jr Jr So Jr NOTES 2005 first team all-WAC; led WAC in hitting (.418) during WAC matches career blocks per game average of 1.34 ranks eighth in UH history played sparingly in 2005; redshirted in 2004 played sparingly in 2004 and ’05 NAME HT Amber Kaufman 6-0 CL Fr NOTES No. 25 prep volleyball player in the country by prepvolleyball.com Newcomers NO 2 Outlook: Although the loss of two-time All-American middle Victoria Prince leaves a void in the UH lineup, the Rainbow Wahine have a lot of experience returning along with a couple of young middles with potential. Juliana Sanders headlines the group, starting 33 matches while earning first team all-WAC honors in 2005. She hit .360 on the year with 2.52 kills and 1.24 blocks per game. Kari Gregory is penciled in as the other starter, as she made 19 starts in 2004 when she averaged 1.51 blocks per game. Nickie Thomas should also see action in the middle along with incoming freshman Amber Kaufman, who is expected to add quickness and athleticism to the group. Juliana Sanders Shoji on Sanders: “Juliana will hopefully be rid of her nagging injuries due to her off-season surgery. She will continue to be a force in the middle for us. She’s shown flashes of brilliance in the last two years and, if she can become more consistent, will be an All-America candidate.” Shoji on Gregory: “Kari gives us a solid middle blocker. She might be the best blocker of our middles and will hit for a good percentage.” Shoji on Thomas: “Nickie Thomas is vastly improved from when she first came in. Her offense will be needed by the team. She’s especially good at going behind the setter and hitting off one foot.” Shoji on Kaufman: “Kaufman is the most athletic of the middles. She possesses great jumping ability. She’s most comfortable going behind the setter off one foot. She’s a little undersized for a middle, but we’ll allow her the opportunity to prove herself there.” Shoji on Blood: “Caroline is a very athletic player who could go in a number of positions, even back row. Her athleticism presents a good challenge for her teammates in practice.” 2006 Rainbow Wahine Volleyball Kari Gregory 17 06 wvb media guide.qxp 8/1/2006 5:59 PM Page 18 2006 OUTLOOK Left-Side Hitters Returnees NO 3 8 7 NAME Tara Hittle Jamie Houston Alicia Arnott HT 6-0 6-1 6-0 CL Jr So Sr NOTES 2005 second team all-WAC; 2004 WAC Freshman of the Year 2005 second team all-WAC 2004 first team all-WAC Outlook: Hawai‘i returns the three players who mainly played at the left-side hitter position in 2005 in Sarah Mason, Tara Hittle and Jamie Houston. Mason is expected to move over to play the right-side hitter position, leaving Hittle and Houston as the two starting lefts. Hittle is a two-year starter who earned second team all-WAC honors in 2005. She was slowed offensively for much of the year with a severe ankle sprain, but helped UH a lot in the back row, serving as a primary passer and one of the team’s top defenders, averaging 2.93 digs per game. Houston also garnered second team all-WAC honors in 2005. She was second on the team with a 3.57 kill-per-game average, coming up big at the end of the season with five straight double-digit kill matches. Arnott started at left-side hitter in 2004, earning first team all-WAC honors, but saw her playing time go down with the emergence of newcomers Mason and Houston. Mason and Jessica Keefe, both slated as right-side hitters, could also move over and play on the left if needed. Tara Hittle Shoji on Hittle: “Hittle is the most complete volleyball player we have on the squad. She has great volleyball skills, a nose for the ball, and brings a lot of energy to the team. She’ll be asked to take a lot of the court on defense and passing and will be one of our primary attackers. Her offensive stats should also improve if she remains healthy all season.” Shoji on Houston: “Jamie Houston will be looked to for a lot of our offense. She has the ability to take over matches. She’ll be our primary terminator at the left-side position. She has a year of experience under her belt and we expect her all-around game to be much-improved.” Shoji on Arnott: “Alicia gives us a solid player that has much experience and could be used to reinforce our front and back court.” Jamie Houston Right-Side Hitters Returnees NO 17 6 NAME Sarah Mason Jessica Keefe HT 6-3 6-1 CL Sr So NOTES 2005 first team all-WAC Played sparingly in 2005; redshirted in 2004 Outlook: With the departure of last year’s starter on the right, Susie Boogaard, the Rainbow Wahine will look to first team all-WAC left-side hitter Sarah Mason to make the move over to the other side of the rotation. Mason led the team with a 3.72 kill-per-game average in 2005, while averaging 0.70 blocks per game. She could also move back to the left if needed. Keefe is coming off a good spring after getting her feet wet in 2005, her first year playing. She can provide a big block while showing promise of being a solid offensive player. If needed, many others could also line up on the right. Backup setter Cayley Thurlby and Jamie Houston both played on the right early in the 2005 season, while Tara Hittle started most of the 2004 season on the right. Freshman middle Amber Kaufman is also thought to be a right-side possibility. Shoji on Mason: “Mason could be used as our right-side hitter, but she could also play on the left if we need her to. She can be a solid right-side blocker and she can add more offense to our right-side position.” Shoji on Keefe: “Keefe has had two solid years of training. She will contend for a starting position, either as a right-side or left-side hitter. If she’s not a starter, she’ll be a solid person to go to if we need to go to the bench. She possesses a rifle for an arm and can definitely put the ball on the floor.” 18 Sarah Mason 2006 Rainbow Wahine Volleyball 06 wvb media guide.qxp 8/1/2006 6:00 PM Page 19 2006 OUTLOOK Setters Returnees NO 10 13 NAME HT Kanoe Kamana‘o 5-8 Cayley Thurlby 5-11 CL Sr Sr NOTES Three-time All-American; UH career assist leader Played in 88 matches in three seasons as back-up setter CL Fr NOTES Ranked No. 27 on prepvolleyball.com’s Senior Aces list Newcomers NO 11 NAME Dani Mafua HT 5-10 Outlook: Kanoe Kamana‘o heads the setting group as she has started all 103 matches in her first three years at UH. Kamana‘o has already broken the school record for assists in a career and has a chance to also break the conference and national records this season. She is also on track to become just the second player in school history to earn All-America honors four times. Backing up Kamana‘o is Cayley Thurlby, who will serve as co-captain for the team for the second straight season, as well as incoming freshman Dani Mafua. Thurlby has also played as a right-side hitter and defensive specialist during her three previous years with the Rainbow Wahine. Mafua is a redshirt possibility who is expected to take over the setting position in 2007. Kanoe Kamana‘o Shoji on Kamana‘o: “We look for Kanoe to have her most outstanding season after three All-American campaigns. Everything will revolve around her, as in the past. But she is more accomplished and should be even better than before.” Shoji on Thurlby: “Cayley will provide us with a variety of skills, mainly as a back-up setter. She could also play as a defensive or serving specialist or as a right-side hitter. She’ll again serve as a co-captain as she brings a lot of leadership and fire to the team.” Shoji on Mafua: “Dani fits in the mold of previous Hawaiian setters. She’s very athletic and has a feel for the game. She’ll have a year to refine her skills. She will be allowed to develop and get ready for the 2007 season.” Cayley Thurlby Liberos/Defensive Specialists Returnees NO 15 18 12 NAME HT Raeceen Woolford 5-7 Jayme Lee 5-2 Rayna Kitaguchi 5-8 CL Jr Fr Fr NOTES Played sparingly in 2004 and ’05 Redshirted in 2005 Redshirted in 2005 Outlook: Hawai‘i loses its libero Ashley Watanabe a year after she broke the single-season digs record. Three defensive specialists from 2005 will contend for the spot in Raeceen Woolford, Jayme Lee and Rayna Kitaguchi. Woolford has the most experience, playing for two years while spending three years with the team. Lee and Kitaguchi both redshirted in 2005. Additional players could be added to the roster after a tryout period in August, and those players are expected to shore up the back-row defense. Shoji on Woolford: “Raeceen is the most athletic of our defensive players and she has the luxury of having been in the program the longest. She needs to be able to pass to win the libero spot.” Shoji on Lee: ”Jayme Lee just makes things happen on the volleyball court. She has a lot of natural instincts and has great desire to keep the ball off the floor.” Shoji on Kitaguchi: “Rayna has made a smooth transition from being a high school hitter to a college defensive player. She has the range we like in a defensive player and just needs more seasoning.“ Raeceen Woolford 2006 Rainbow Wahine Volleyball 19 06 wvb media guide.qxp 8/2/2006 3:13 PM Page 20 2006 ROSTERS NUMERICAL ROSTER NO 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 15 17 18 PLAYER Juliana Sanders Amber Kaufman Tara Hittle Kari Gregory Caroline Blood Jessica Keefe Alicia Arnott Jamie Houston Nickie Thomas Kanoe Kamana‘o Dani Mafua Rayna Kitaguchi Cayley Thurlby Raeceen Woolford Sarah Mason Jayme Lee POS M M/RS LS/RS M M RS/LS LS/RS LS/RS M S S L S L RS/LS L HT 6-2 6-0 6-0 6-2 6-0 6-1 6-0 6-1 6-3 5-8 5-10 5-8 5-11 5-7 6-3 5-2 YR Jr Fr Jr Jr Jr So Sr So So Sr Fr R-Fr Sr Jr Sr R-Fr HOMETOWN (LAST SCHOOL) Kane‘ohe, O‘ahu (Castle HS) San Jose, CA (Branham HS) Colorado Springs, CO (Doherty HS) Las Vegas, NV (The Meadows HS) Long Beach, CA (Wilson HS) Ames, IA (Ames HS) Hilo, Hawai‘i (La Pietra HS) Huntsville, AL (Huntsville HS) Austin, TX (Westwood HS) Honolulu, O‘ahu (Iolani School) Kapolei, O‘ahu (Mid-Pacific Institute) Honolulu, O‘ahu (Hawai‘i Baptist Academy) Naperville, IL (Naperville Central HS) Pearl City, O‘ahu (Iolani School) Hilo, Hawai‘i (Oregon) ‘Aiea, O‘ahu (Hawai‘i Baptist Academy) Head Coach: Dave Shoji Associate Coaches: Kari Ambrozich, Mike Sealy Video Coordinator: Shelton Tang Equipment Coordinator: James Buccella Manager: Ryan Tsuji Trainer: Renae Shigemura BY CLASS BY HEIGHT GEOGRAPHICAL ROSTER PRONUNCIATION GUIDE Senior Alicia Arnott Kanoe Kamana‘o Sarah Mason Cayley Thurlby 6-3 Sarah Mason Nickie Thomas Alabama Huntsville: Jamie Houston Junior Caroline Blood Kari Gregory Tara Hittle Juliana Sanders Raeceen Woolford Players Alicia Arnott — ARE-not Kanoe Kamana‘o — KAH-noy kah-mah-NAH-o Dani Mafua — mah-FOO-ah Rayna Kitaguchi — kee-tah-GOO-chee Cayley Thurlby — KAY-lee THURL-bee 6-1 Jamie Houston Jessica Keefe Sophomore Jamie Houston Jessica Keefe Nickie Thomas Freshmen Amber Kaufman Rayna Kitaguchi Jayme Lee Dani Mafua 20 6-2 Kari Gregory Juliana Sanders California Long Beach: Caroline Blood San Jose: Amber Kaufman Colorado Colorado Springs: Tara Hittle 5-11 Cayley Thurlby Hawai‘i ‘Aiea: Jayme Lee Hilo: Alicia Arnott, Sarah Mason Honolulu: Kanoe Kamana‘o, Rayna Kitaguchi Kane‘ohe: Juliana Sanders Kapolei: Dani Mafua Pearl City: Raeceen Woolford 5-10 Dani Mafua Illinois Naperville: Cayley Thurlby 5-8 Kanoe Kamana‘o Rayna Kitaguchi Iowa Ames: Jessica Keefe 5-7 Raeceen Woolford Nevada Las Vegas: Kari Gregory 5-2 Jayme Lee Texas Austin: Nickie Thomas 6-0 Alicia Arnott Caroline Blood Tara Hittle Amber Kaufman Coaches Dave Shoji — SHOW-jee Kari Ambrozich — am-BROH-zich 2006 Rainbow Wahine Volleyball 06 wvb media guide.qxp 8/2/2006 12:15 PM Page 21 06 wvb media guide.qxp 8/1/2006 6:00 PM Page 22 MEET THE SENIORS 6-0 Career Highs Kills 30 at Southern Methodist (10/16/04) Hitting Percentage .476 (10-0-21) at Louisiana Tech (9/29/05) Service Aces 6 vs. Tulsa (10/22/04) Block Solos 2 (2x), last vs. Wisconsin (12/10/04) Block Assists 6 at Nevada (11/21/04) Total Blocks 6 at Nevada (11/21/04) Digs 26 vs. Pepperdine (9/25/04) 22 Alicia Arnott Senior Outside Hitter 2005 (Junior): Played in 31 matches, starting seven at the left-side hitter position…averaged 1.51 kills per game and 1.52 digs per game…had 12 kills and 11 digs vs. Southern California (Sept. 1)…also had 12 kills and four blocks vs. Loyola Marymount (Sept. 24)…hit .476 with 10 kills at Louisiana Tech (Sept. 29)…academic all-WAC. 2004 (Sophomore): Started all 31 matches for the UH at the left-side hitter position…earned first team all-WAC honors and honorable mention AVCA all-West Region honors…averaged a team-high 4.09 kills per game, along with 2.96 digs per game and 0.51 blocks per game while recording 32 aces…earned all-tournament honors at the WAC Tournament, the Waikiki Beach Marriott Invitational and the Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Volleyball Challenge…had best match at Southern Methodist (Oct. 16), hitting .463 with 30 kills and 19 digs, becoming just the third UH player to ever hit over .450 with 30 kills in a match…earned WAC Player of the Week honors (Oct. 18)…had five matches with 20-plus kills and 20 double-doubles… tied the school-record with six aces vs. Tulsa (Oct. 22). #7 Hilo, Hawai‘i (La Pietra HS) Prep: A 2003 graduate of La Pietra High School for Girls in Honolulu, O‘ahu…played four years at La Pietra under four different coaches, but played her senior year under head coach Tony McInerny…a Volleyball magazine Fab-50 recruit…named first team all-state and first team all-league during her senior year…named to the all-tournament team at the Junior Olympics in 2001, ‘02 and ‘03…played on the 18-andunder national championship team at the 2003 Junior Olympics.

The already depleted Hawai‘i outside hitters would be without Alicia Arnott, who replaced Mason in the lineup. Arnott got sick, forcing the Rainbow Wahine to start back-up setter Cayley Thurlby on the outside. Despite the makeshift lineup, Hawai‘i was able to dominate the first two games, winning 30-22 and 30-17. The team was hitting .346, led by freshman Jamie Houston’s 13 kills and .458 hitting percentage. But the Nittany Lions came back, taking game three, 30-27. Penn State never trailed again in the match, winning game four 3018, and game five, 15-11, completing the comeback that devastated the Rainbow Wahine. The loss snapped UH’s 39-match winning streak in the Stan Sheriff Center. Kanoe Kamana‘o Injuries Lead To Tough Start Staring at one of the most challenging nonconference schedules in recent history, the Rainbow Wahine knew it would take all they had to survive their first 10 matches of the season. But Hawai‘i was never able to be at full strength during that stretch as a rash of injuries left the team with six different starting lineups in its first eight matches. The injury bug first struck two weeks before the start of the season as starting left-side hitter Tara Hittle suffered a severely sprained ankle, causing her to miss the first weekend. UH’s other starting left-side hitter, Sarah Mason, then went down with a sprained ankle in the season-opener and missed the next five matches. The injuries coincided with a schedule that included top-10 ranked opponents in seven of UH’s first 10 matches. The Rainbow Wahine opened with losses to No. 1 Nebraska and No. 5 Penn State in the AVCA/NACWAA Volleyball Showcase. Starting out the season 0-2, things weren’t going to get much easier for the Rainbow Wahine as they would face two top10 opponents to start the Hawaiian Airlines Wahine Classic. First up would be No. 7 Southern California. Hawai‘i made quick work of the Women of Troy behind a dominant performance by Victoria Prince (17 kills, eight blocks, .571 hitting). 50 Continued Dominance Of The Bruins UH then went on to defeat three unranked opponents in Western Michigan, Cincinnati and Cal State Northridge heading into their annual match against UCLA. After dropping the first game of the match, Hawai‘i went on to dominate the rest of the way, beating UCLA in four. The win over the Bruins marked a milestone in the long-time rivalry between the two clubs. Hawai‘i won its fourth straight over the Bruins, marking the first time in the series history that either team was able to sweep a four-year span in the rivalry. Juliana Sanders Victoria Prince Glimpse At The Champs The Rainbow Wahine then faced secondranked Washington for two matches in the Stan Sheriff Center. UW proved they were ready for a breakout season, as they recorded two huge sweeps over the Rainbow Wahine. Washington went on to win the national title in 2005, sweeping through Nebraska in the championship match. The losses to the Huskies dropped Hawai‘i to 5-5, tying the worst start in program history. The End Of An Impressive Streak After blitzing through Boise State in UH’s WAC-opener to push its conference-winning streak to 91 matches, the Rainbow Wahine saw their other long streak, of 205 wins over unranked opponents, come to a close at the hands of Loyola Marymount. The Rainbow Wahine battled the Lions to a 2-2 tie after the first four games, while opening game five up 5-0. But LMU just wouldn’t go away, going on a late four-point run that led to its 15-13 victory. The loss not only ended UH’s long winning streak, but it also knocked Hawai‘i out of the top 10 for just the second time in the past four seasons. Hawai‘i was able to exact revenge on the Lions the next night, sweeping LMU before going back into conference play. 2006 Rainbow Wahine Volleyball 06 wvb media guide.qxp 8/2/2006 3:24 PM Page 51 2005 SEASON REVIEW The New WAC Steps Up With their tough non-conference schedule coming to a close, the Rainbow Wahine refocused their sights on the Western Athletic Conference. With the additions of Idaho, New Mexico State and Utah State, UH would have its reign as the dominant WAC force put to the test. After looking dominant at Louisiana Tech, Hawai‘i found themselves in a serious dogfight at New Mexico State, dropping the first two games, 30-28 and 30-26. UH fell back 11-7 at the beginning of the third game, as it started to seem as if the Aggies were going to become the team to end UH’s long WAC winning streak. But the Rainbow Wahine finally awoke to quiet the record crowd of 7,115 who thought they were going to see their Aggies pull off the upset, roaring back to take game three, 30-21, game four, 30-22 and then blitz NMSU, 15-10, in game five. Hawai‘i used that momentum to sweep through their next nine opponents, including a 30-16, 30-7, 30-17 win over a Nevada team that gave them problems throughout the 2004 season. The win was the most lopsided since the inception of rally scoring for the Rainbow Wahine. UH’s next big challenge came at Utah State against an Aggie team that took the Rainbow Wahine to five games during its undefeated regular season in 2004. Early in Ashley Watanabe In the WAC tournament opener, UH breezed past Boise State in three games while All-American setter Kanoe Kamana‘o put up 49 assists, enough to move into first on the UH career assists list. In their semifinal match, Nevada provided a little more suspense, as UH needed a 33-31 win in game four to put away the Wolf Pack. But there would be little doubt in the championship match as two-time WAC Tournament MVP Victoria Prince led the Rainbow Wahine to their sixth-straight WAC Tournament title with a sweep of Utah State. NCAAs On the Road Again Despite carrying one of the nation’s longest winning streaks (16-straight) and the No. 7 seed in the NCAA Tournament, the Rainbow Wahine were not awarded as hosts of the 2005 ALL-WAC TEAMS Sarah Mason the match, Mason again found herself down and out with an ankle injury, moving freshman Jamie Houston into the lineup. Houston responded in a big way, tallying 21 kills to lead UH to a five-game victory. New Mexico State gave Hawai‘i another scare in the second-to-last game of the regular season. After the Rainbow Wahine cruised through games one and two of the match in Honolulu, NMSU battled back to win games three and four, forcing a decisive game five. In the fifth game, the Aggies held a 12-11 lead, looking to complete the upset. But UH responded as Juliana Sanders and Susie Boogaard combined for the final four points of the match, including three straight blocks to end it at 15-12. Hawai‘i then closed out the regular season with a sweep of Louisiana Tech on senior night, closing the 2005 WAC regular season with its 107-match winning streak intact. Leaving No Doubt At The WAC Tourney With three close calls in the conference regular season, it started to seem as though the Rainbow Wahine’s stronghold as the dominant force in the WAC was in question. But Hawai‘i proved that any suitor to take its place as the leader in the WAC was still a long way ahead. 2006 Rainbow Wahine Volleyball First Team PLAYER Zuzana Cernianska Jackie Choi Cameron Flunder Kanoe Kamana‘o Sarah Mason Kim Oguh Victoria Prince Ingrid Roth Salaia Salave‘a Juliana Sanders Jennifer Senftleben Ashley Watanabe Second Team PLAYER Susie Boogaard Alice Borden Jordan Bostic Teal Ericson Erin Graybill Tara Hittle Jamie Houston Haley Larsen Alison Pitton Amber Simpson Karly Sipherd Jessie Shull POS OPP S MB S LS OH M MB MB M MB L TEAM Utah State New Mexico State Boise State Hawai‘i Hawai‘i New Mexico State Hawai‘i Utah State Nevada Hawai‘i San Jose State Hawai‘i POS RS MH DS/OH OH MB LS LS OH OH MH MB L TEAM Hawai‘i New Mexico State New Mexico State Nevada Utah State Hawai‘i Hawai‘i Idaho Fresno State New Mexico State Nevada San Jose State All-Freshman Team PLAYER POS TEAM Colleen Burke MB San Jose State Brittany Collet S San Jose State Jamie Houston LS Hawai‘i Haley Larsen OH Idaho Sarah Loney MB Idaho Amber Simpson MH New Mexico State Kasi Spencer MB Fresno State WAC Player of the Year: Kanoe Kamana‘o, Hawai‘i WAC Coach of the Year: Dave Shoji, Hawai‘i; Mike Jordan, NMSU WAC Freshman of the Year: Amber Simpson, NMSU 51 06 wvb media guide.qxp 8/1/2006 6:13 PM Page 52 2005 SEASON REVIEW Rainbow Wahine to their eighth straight NCAA Regional and their 22nd regional overall. Tara Hittle first and second rounds at the Stan Sheriff Center for the second straight season. And, for the second straight season, UH was sent to play at the site of the highest-ranked team in the tournament that wasn’t one of the 16 seeds, heading to Austin, Texas, home of the seventh-ranked Longhorns. The Rainbow Wahine made quick work of Texas State in the first round, sweeping through the Bobcats to force a secondround match against Texas which ironically was tied for No. 7 in the AVCA Coaches Poll with Hawai‘i. The Longhorns were one of the hotter teams in the country, coming into the NCAAs winning 11 of their last 12 matches, including a five-game win over top-ranked Nebraska, handing the Cornhuskers their first loss of the season in the regular-season finale. Texas flexed some muscle to start the match, taking game one, 30-19, showing why they had won their last 17 matches at home. But the Rainbow Wahine roared back in the second game, holding the Longhorns to a -.028 hitting percentage to win, 30-18. Hawai‘i took the match over from then on, hitting .514 in the third game and .457 in the fourth game, ending the match with a team-hitting percentage of .389 against the tallest team in the country. Houston was most impressive on the night, hitting .529 with 20 kills while Mason hit .448 with 15 kills. UH won games three and four, 30-21 and 30-20, respectively, sending the 52 Continuing Further East in NCAAs After their impressive win at Texas, the Rainbow Wahine found themselves continuing further East to the State College Regional in Pennsylvania on the campus of Penn State. Awaiting Hawai‘i was the eighth-ranked Missouri Tigers and a possible rematch against Penn State. Missouri came into the regional with an impressive 24-4 record, led by All-American setter Lindsey Hunter and Chinese import Na Yang. The Tigers were making their first NCAA Regional appearance in program history. Hawai‘i came out slow in game one, as they fell behind early and were never able to recover, losing the first game, 30-26. UH hit just .173 in the game but was able to stay close with defense, recording 26 digs. In game two, the Rainbow Wahine offense got hot behind Hittle. The sophomore ended up with seven kills to lead the team to a .327 hitting percentage, winning it, 30-26. The third game would prove to be a back-and-forth defensive battle as Missouri posted 31 digs to UH’s 32. Leading the way for UH were Ashley Watanabe and Kanoe Kamana‘o, who had 13 and 11 digs, respectively, in the single game. With Hawai‘i up 24-23, the Tigers made a late 7-3 run to take the game, 30-27. 2005 AVCA ALL-AMERICA TEAMS FIRST TEAM PLAYER INSTITUTION POS Jane Collymore Florida OH Melissa Elmer Nebraska MB Kim Glass Arizona OH Christina Houghtelling Nebraska RS Lindsey Hunter Missouri S Laura Jones Texas A&M OH Sarah Pavan Nebraska RS Cassie Perret Santa Clara RS Kristin Richards Stanford OH Courtney Thompson Washington S Sanja Tomasevic Washington OH Sam Tortorello Penn State S SECOND TEAM PLAYER Foluke Akinradewo Kristen Andre Leticia Armstrong Lauren Brewster Bibiana Candelas Nicole Fawcett Jennifer Hoffman Candace Lee Marisa Main Victoria Prince Lena Ustymenko Melissa Walbridge THIRD TEAM PLAYER Jennifer Abernathy Anna Cmaylo Kanoe Kamana'o Bryn Kehoe Brandy Magee Crystal Matich Angie McGinnis Nana Meriwether Danielle Meyer Christal Morrison Jennifer Saleaumua Sheila Shaw INSTITUTION POS Stanford MB Tennessee MB Texas MB Notre Dame MB USC OH Penn State OH Louisville MB Washington Lib Ohio State S Hawai‘i MB Louisville OH Penn State MB INSTITUTION POS Arizona OH Santa Clara MB Hawai'i S Stanford S Texas MB Santa Clara S Florida S UCLA MB Ohio State MB Washington OH Nebraska OH Wisconsin MB AVCA Division I Freshman of the Year: Nicole Fawcett (Penn State, Outside Hitter) AVCA Division I Player of the Year: Christina Houghtelling (Nebraska, Right-side) Tachikara/AVCA Division I Coach of the Year: John Cook (Nebraska) Jamie Houston 2006 Rainbow Wahine Volleyball 06 wvb media guide.qxp 8/2/2006 3:26 PM Page 53 2005 SEASON REVIEW It looked as though the loss had broke the spirit of the Rainbow Wahine as they fell behind 12-3 at the start. But Hawai‘i would show some character as it battled back to within four points at 2521. But Missouri would not let their opportunity go away, scoring five of the next six points to win the game, 30-22, taking the match in four games. The State College Regional proved to be filled with upsets as Tennessee took down No. 2-seed Penn State in the other regional semifinal match.

Susie Boogaard joined the Rainbow Wahine in 2002, serving as the first outside hitter off the bench while starting 15 matches in her first two seasons. She then broke out to become an all-WAC player in her junior and senior years, earning second-team honors both seasons. Boogaard ended her career with 876 kills and 780 digs, while starting 64 matches in her final two seasons. Victoria Prince played just two years for Hawai‘i but will go down as one of the better middles in program history, ranking first in career hitting percentage and third in blocks per game. Prince led the team in all scoring categories in 2005, posting 352 kills, 42 aces and 168 blocks. She earned second-team AVCA All-America honors in both of her seasons at UH. Ashley Watanabe joined the Rainbow Wahine as a walk-on in 2001, redshirting her first season. She would play sparingly in 2002, appearing in just 20 games before playing as a back-row player and serving specialist in 2003. But Watanabe would take over the libero job in 2004 and rewrite the record books from then on. In 2004, Watanabe posted the highest single-season dig-per-game average (4.22) in school history. She then broke the single-season dig record in 2005, recording 481 digs. She ranks 10th in career digs and third in digs per game.

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

They all started out slowly and they took a long time (four years) to realize how good they could really get. They all got better each year and finally peaked at the end of ’87.” — Head coach Dave Shoji An overall record of 37-2 speaks for itself. After hosting the NCAA first round and Northwest Regional for the first time ever in Klum Gym, the Rainbow Wahine advanced to the final four in Indianapolis, Ind. It took almost two hours for head coach Dave Shoji to win his fourth national championship in nine years. The win was Hawai‘i’s first title and first final four appearance since 1983. The Wahine captured the crown with a four-set victory over Stanford, 15-10, 15-10, 9-15, 15-1.

Beginning on Oct. 21, 1994, all home matches were moved to the Stan Sheriff Center (SSC). On occasion, UH played home matches at the Neal S. Blaisdell Center (NBC) and in 1979, played three matches at McKinley High School (MHS). In the 1974 and ’75 seasons, the Rainbow Wahine did not play any intercollegiate home matches. Klum Gym served as the home court for the Rainbow Wahine from 1976 to the first half of the 1994 season. Hawai‘i enjoyed a 224-30 record in Klum. 90 The Stan Sheriff Center has housed the Rainbow Wahine since halfway through the 1994 season, as they hold a .919 winning percentage at the arena overall. 2006 Rainbow Wahine Volleyball 06 wvb media guide.qxp 8/1/2006 6:18 PM Page 91 YEAR-BY-YEAR RESULTS Year-By-Year Results YEAR 1974 1975 1976 1977 1978 1979 1980 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 Total W 9 16 14 22 28 36 34 37 33 34 33 28 31 37 33 29 28 26 15 19 25 31 35 25 32 29 31 29 34 36 30 27 906 OVERALL L T 1 0 2 0 5 0 5 0 10 1 5 0 10 0 2 0 1 0 2 0 11 0 13 0 7 0 2 0 3 0 3 0 6 0 5 0 12 0 11 0 5 0 1 0 3 0 8 0 3 0 2 0 2 0 6 0 2 0 2 0 1 0 7 0 158 1 PCT. .900 .889 .737 .815 .731 .878 .773 .949 .971 .944 .750 .683 .816 .949 .917 .906 .824 .839 .556 .633 .833 .969 .921 .758 .914 .935 .939 .829 .944 .947 .968 .794 .851 W 10 15 17 18 17 16 15 11 13 15 18 16 14 13 14 16 13 13 13 13 16 306 CONFERENCE L PCT. 6 .625 3 .833 1 .944 0 1.000 1 .944 2 .889 3 .833 7 .611 5 .722 3 .833 0 1.000 0 1.000 0 1.000 1 .929 0 1.000 0 1.000 0 1.000 0 1.000 0 1.000 0 1.000 0 1.000 32 .905 CONFERENCE PCAA 3rd PCAA 2nd PCAA 1st Big West 1st Big West 1st Big West 1st Big West T-2nd Big West 4th Big West 3rd Big West 2nd Big West 1st WAC 1st-Pacific WAC 1st-Pacific WAC T-1st-Pacific WAC 1st WAC 1st WAC 1st WAC 1st WAC 1st WAC 1st WAC 1st 15 Titles FINISH Alan Kang Dave Shoji Dave Shoji Dave Shoji Dave Shoji Dave Shoji Dave Shoji Dave Shoji Dave Shoji Dave Shoji Dave Shoji Dave Shoji Dave Shoji Dave Shoji Dave Shoji Dave Shoji Dave Shoji Dave Shoji Dave Shoji Dave Shoji Dave Shoji Dave Shoji Dave Shoji Dave Shoji Dave Shoji Dave Shoji Dave Shoji Dave Shoji Dave Shoji Dave Shoji Dave Shoji Dave Shoji 2 Coaches COACH NATIONAL FINISH AIAW Runners-up AIAW Runners-up AIAW 3rd Place AIAW Runners-up AIAW 3rd Place AIAW Champions AIAW 3rd Place NCAA Regional Finals NCAA Champions NCAA Champions NCAA First Round NCAA Regional Semifinals NCAA Regional Finals NCAA Champions NCAA Runners-up NCAA Regional Finals NCAA Regional Semifinals NCAA Regional Finals No Postseason NCAA Regional Finals NCAA Regional Semifinals NCAA Regional Finals NCAA Runners-up NCAA First Round NCAA Regional Finals NCAA Regional Semifinals NCAA Championship Semifinals NCAA Regional Semifinals NCAA Championship Semifinals NCAA Championship Semifinals NCAA Regional Semifinals NCAA Regional Semifinals 4 National Championships The Rainbow Wahine Tradition In the 25 years since the advent of the NCAA Women’s Volleyball Tournament, Hawai‘i ranks among the top programs in many categories in the NCAA Tournament.

Growing up he played basketball and 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. The Board of Regents named him interim president effective in August 2004, and then president of the UH system in March 2006. 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. He is a member of the National Business and Economic Issues Council and a past member of the Business Accreditation Committee for AACSB International, the professional accrediting organization for business schools worldwide. After receiving a B.A. 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 Ph.D. 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 110 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; numerous scholarly articles; and several hundred columns on economic issues. McClain has proven his business expertise to be advantageous for the Manoa Athletics Department, having previously served as the chairman of the committee on fiscal integrity for the Athletics Department’s NCAA certification, as well as chairman of the selection committee that helped choose Herman Frazier as athletics director. Having been at the university for 15 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. Denise Konan UH Manoa Chancellor Denise Eby Konan is the Interim Chancellor of the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa. When she moved into the administrative offices at Hawai‘i Hall, she quickly and clearly enunciated her priorities, declaring that 2006 would be The Year of the Student. Implementing a campus reorganization plan – much of which focused on student and academic services functions – she moved decisively to fill the newly created Vice Chancellor for Students position, and worked hand-in-hand with the Manoa faculty senate and campus student government leadership to develop priorities for action. Konan’s focus on these areas has paid off. More and better services for students are now available online, and chronic shortages of class offerings have been substantially reduced. Manoa is moving ahead aggressively to develop additional student housing inventory, and her first full-fledged legislative session brought the campus the first significant budget increases in several years, with much of the additional money targeted at improving the student experience. The Chancellor began her own Manoa experience as a faculty member in the Economics Department in 1993. She became a full professor in 2002, and has taught international trade and microeconomics at the graduate and undergraduate levels. Students selected her for the College of Social Science’s Excellence in Teaching award in academic year 1997-98. The faculty elected her to the Manoa Faculty Senate Executive Committee in 2005. She is an affiliated faculty member in Global Environmental Sciences and is a Fellow in the International Center for Climate and Society at Manoa. As an administrator, Konan served for nearly three years as the interim assistant vice chancellor for academic affairs, and more recently as chair of the Economics Department at Manoa. While in the Manoa Academic Affairs Office, Konan played a leadership role in facilitating the collaborative process that resulted in Manoa’s visionary strategic plan. A noted international trade economist, Konan has published numerous articles on a wide variety of topics - including the economics of regionalism and the multilateral trading system, international trade in services, and intellectual property rights. She has been a consultant to the World Bank, the Council of Foreign Relations, World Economic Forum and various foreign and national governments. Konan is chair of the Women Leaders in Higher Education chapter in Hawai‘i. She has served on the boards of the Organization of Women Leaders, Hawai‘i Economics Association, and the Hawai‘i Council for Economics Education. She has been a Pacific Century Fellow in Hawai‘i. In June 2006 Konan was named chairwoman of the Western Athletic Conference Board of Directors. Konan is the first woman in the conference’s 45-year history to head the board made up of presidents and chancellors of the nine WAC schools. “One of the unanticipated benefits of being in the Chancellor’s office,” she says, “is that I have become much more familiar with the Athletics Department, our very highly regarded Athletics Director, Herman Frazier, and our very successful coaches and student-athletes. “For many people in the community, athletics is the public ‘face’ of the institution, and we need to make sure that our athletes are supported not only on the playing field or court or pool or track, but also in the classroom as well. We are committed to our student-athletes’ success at all levels.” Konan was raised in Philadelphia and Lancaster, Penn. She received her undergraduate degree from Goshen College and her doctorate from the University of Colorado at Boulder. She resides with her husband, Abel, and their two sons, Joseph and Roy. 2006 Rainbow Wahine Volleyball 06 wvb media guide.qxp 8/1/2006 6:21 PM Page 111 ATHLETICS ADMINISTRATION Herman Ronald Frazier, who is the 17th director of athletics at the University of Hawai‘i, hit the island in full stride in 2002 and has never looked back. When the 51-year-old Frazier took over the reins of the UH Athletics Department, the budget was $16 million. In four short years, he has been able to increase it to $21 million. Frazier, who enters his fifth year at UH, faces the everyday Herman Frazier challenges of running a Division I Athletics Department head on. Athletics Director He has bolstered UH’s budget through various avenues. “A handful of items definitely had to be addressed initially when I came on board,” Frazier said. “We, as a department, have done a good job to try to resolve them.” The elimination of Aloha Stadium rent was high on his agenda, and the 2006 season is the first rent-free season for the Warrior football games since calling it home in 1975. His goals of redesigning ‘Ahahui Koa Anuenue, the UH booster club; developing booster groups; setting up a better working relation with UH Foundation; initiating premium seat packages; and integrating the entire ticketing system have all come to fruition under his leadership. Furthermore, he said he will continue the ongoing progress of upgrading facilities and improving the student-athlete experience both on the field and in the classroom. “Facilities, on an overall scale, weigh heavily for our coaches in recruiting and the total student-athlete experience,” Frazier said. In 2005, the UH Tennis Complex was completed just in time for the Western Athletic Conference Championship. Also, a recent appropriation from the legislature will be directed toward refurbishing Les Murakami Stadium and renovating the lighting and stands at Cooke Field. His 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 USOC as a consultant on various issues. 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. Earlier this year, 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 spent 23 years in the Athletics Department at Arizona State University before landing his first athletics director job at Alabama-Birmingham in 2000. Before Frazier began building an impressive resume as an administrator, 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 medal-winning 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. Frazier is currently engaged to Caroline Beal.

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 out- Lili‘uokalani Student Services Center 112 Crawford Hall side the United States’ State Department. The variety of undergraduate degree programs offered at the University continues to expand and even allows for students to create their own specialized program. UH Manoa recently added yet another degree program into its curriculum, when the Hawai‘i State Legislature approved funding for a film school, the Academy of Creative Media, the first of its kind in the state. Awards & Accolades UH Manoa continues to be widely recognized for its excellence in education. In 2005, the UH College of Business Administration 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 Oahu. Other off-campus facilities include the Lyon Arboretum, the Waikiki Aquarium and the world-class Hawai‘i Institute for Marine Biology on Coconut Island. 2006 Rainbow Wahine Volleyball 06 wvb media guide.qxp 8/1/2006 6:23 PM Page 113 UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I 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 freeze-dried 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.

A member of the faculty, not the Athletics Department staff, he is appointed by Dr. Peter the Chancellor on the Nicholson recommendation of the Faculty Athletic Manoa Faculty Senate. Representative He has several primary responsibilities. He certifies the academic eligibility of all student-athletes; he assists in ensuring that the Department and the university comply with NCAA and WAC rules, especially in the areas of academics and student-athlete welfare; and he acts as counselor and advisor for student-athletes who seek guidance outside the Athletics Department. He also acts as liaison between the Athletics Department and the rest of the campus. He meets regularly with the Chancellor to discuss Athletics Department policy; he reports directly to the Faculty Senate on such matters as student-athlete academic progress; and he takes an active role in shaping UH Manoa academic policies as they apply to student-athletes. And together with the Athletics Director and the Athletics Department’s Senior Woman Administrator, he represents the university at meetings of the NCAA and WAC. The current Faculty Athletics Representative, Dr. Peter Nicholson, has been a professor of English at UH since 1974. He has more than ten years’ experience in faculty oversight of the athletics program through the Athletics Advisory Board, the Manoa Faculty Senate Committee on Athletics, and the NCAA Certification process, where he has taken a special interest in issues of gender equity in athletics. 2006 Rainbow Wahine Volleyball 06 wvb media guide.qxp 8/1/2006 6:24 PM Page 115 UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I The Rainbow Before 1923, UH teams were nicknamed the “Deans.” Then in the final game of the 1923 season, UH head coach Otto Klum’s squad upset Oregon State, 7-0, at Mo‘ili‘ili Field. During the game, a rainbow appeared over the field. Reporters started calling UH teams the Rainbows, and the tradition began that Hawai‘i would not lose a game if a rainbow appeared. Rainbows, however, had magical powers long before football came to the islands. Hawaiian chiefs considered them sacred and used them as signs of a chief’s presence. A rainbow hovering over a newborn child indicated that he was of a god-like rank. The rainbow was part of the official logo (above) at the UH Athletics Department until 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 university seal contains a torch and book titled Malamalama (The Light of Knowledge) in the center of a circular map of the Pacific, surrounded by the state motto, Ua mau ke ea o ka‘aina i ka pono (the life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness). 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 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. 2006 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. 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.” 115 06 wvb media guide.qxp 8/2/2006 9:48 AM Page 116 Support Staff Administrative Staff ATHLETICS STAFF Chandra Kinilau Assistant to the A.D.

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 160 former athletes, with 63 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 associate 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. For more information on joining the Letterwinners Club, please call UHLWC Executive Director Erika Buder-Nakasone at (808) 956-6523. The UH Letterwinners Clubhouse (above) is located in the Lower Campus adjacent to Klum Gym.

An experienced coaching staff is dedicated to the development of individual skills in each player, allowing them to excel at the collegiate level and beyond. The program continues to produce players who are recognized as some of the most skilled in the nation. Dave Shoji enters his 32nd season as the head coach of the Rainbow Wahine just three wins shy of becoming the second women's volleyball coach to reach 900 victories. Shoji earned his third-straight AVCA Regional Coach of the Year Award in 2005. He was the National Coach of the Year in 1982 and was the 2002 recipient of the USA volleyball All-Time Great Coaches Award. Fan Support No other university in the country enjoys the magnitude of fan support for women’s volleyball that Hawai‘i does. The Rainbow Wahine have led the nation in attendance for the past 11 years, averaging more than 7,000 per match. Hawai‘i Experience The Long Tradition of Excellence The Rainbow Wahine volleyball program boasts four national titles that headline a rich history of extraordinary success. In 32 years, UH has not had a losing season, posting 16, 30-plus win seasons, while advancing to the post-season in all but one year. Facilities The 50th state of Hawai‘i, particularly the capital of Honolulu, has a wealth of cultures and history. A stay of any length in Hawai‘i exposes one to richness of languages, religions, races, foods and the lifestyles from many parts of the world. The 10,300-seat Stan Sheriff Center is one of many top-notch athletic facilities on the UH Lower Campus. In addition, the state-of-the-art, 10,000square-foot Alexander Waterhouse Training Facility is located on the ground floor of the Stan Sheriff Center. National Schedule Academic Support Academic Reputation The University of Hawai‘i has gained national attention for its academic reputation. It is one of a dozen institutions designated as a land, space and sea grant institution. In 1999, UH researchers became the first in the United States to successfully clone animals. 124 Hawai‘i traditionally plays one of the toughest non-conference schedules in the country, with 2006 proving to be no different. Seven of UH’s nine opponents outside of the WAC advanced to the 2005 NCAA Tournament, including four NCAA Regional teams. The UH Athletics Department’s commitment to academic excellence provides the opportunity for all student-athletes to complete their degrees even after their eligibility expires. Strength Program The volleyball team’s strength and conditioning regiment strives to enhance the student-athlete’s performance and prevent injury, therefore developing a better volleyball player. 2006 Rainbow Wahine Volleyball 06 wvb media guide.qxp 8/1/2006 6:33 PM Page 125 CIRCLE OF HONOR The University of Hawai‘i Sports Circle of Honor, a project sponsored by Bank of Hawaii, is now in its 24th year. What originally began as the UH Sports Hall of Honor in 1982 has found a new home and a new name on the inner concourse of the University’s 10,300-seat Stan Sheriff Center, overlooking the court. Over the years, a total of 69 members and nine teams have been inducted into the Circle of Honor, including many former Rainbow Wahine volleyball players and three teams. Over the past two years, three inductions have included women’s volleyball. In 2005, the 1987 NCAA Championship team was inducted, while teammates Robyn Ah Mow and Angelica Ljungquist were part of the class of 2006. Bank of Hawaii began this special project to spread its wings across the community.

The 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 student-athlete sets goals of getting a degree and prepares for a career after graduation. Special programs and services, designed to meet the individual needs of each of the approximately 500 athletes who participate in any of UH’s 19 intercollegiate sports, are provided at SAAS. These comprehensive academic and support programs include academic advising; retention programs; personal, career, and performance-enhancement counseling; and a CHAMPS Life Skills Program. Nagatani Academic Center The $1 million Nagatani Academic Center (NAC), funded by the late UH booster Bob Nagatani, was constructed in 1999. The center was designed to offer student-athletes an accessible environment where they can concentrate on their academic pursuits. The NAC is equipped with two computer labs and remains open an average of 70 hours each week. The center also acts as a study hall for UH student-athletes and is the hub for meetings, study groups and one-on-one sessions with advisors and tutors. In Fall 2002, the NAC annex, located on the second floor of the Athletics Complex, was opened to accommodate the growing needs of student-athletes. The annex houses a large central study area with three adjacent break-out rooms. Freshmen are required to meet in these mentoring or study group pods. The student-athletes as a whole log an average of 1,655 study hall hours each week. The NAC provides each student-athlete with the opportunity to reach academic success. Furthermore, the center strives to ensure that each student-athlete is provided with the best chance of earning a degree. The success of this goal is reflected in the 75-percent graduation rate of student-athletes, which is ranked in the Top 25 among Division I public institutions. Ron Cambra Assoc. Dean of Academic Affairs 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.

The newly designed facility opened in the fall of 2004. It features treatment and taping areas, walk-in hot and cold therapy pools, and offices for the trainers, physicians and staff. The athletic training staff is headed by two of the most tenured trainers in the country. Eric Okasaki and Melody Toth have over 60 years of combined experience in the field of athletic training. To complement them are veteran assistant trainers Jayson Goo, Tara Humphreys, Brian Wong and Renae Shigemura. In addition, certified graduate assistants and the athletic training students help in the overall operation of the athletic training facility. The athletic training staff is responsible for the care, prevention, evaluation and rehabilitation for each of the student-athletes in their respective athletics programs. All graduate students and full-time staff are certified by the National Athletic Trainer’s Association (NATA) and travel with various athletics programs. The athletic training facilities are abundant around the lower campus. The Makai Athletic training room houses the football, swimming and diving, water polo, soccer and cheerleading programs. The Mauka training room services the cross country, golf, sailing, soccer, softball, tennis, and track and field programs. Each facility is equipped with the latest technological resources on injury prevention and rehabilitation. Isokinetic and cardiovascular machines, electrical modalities and X-ray units are also available. In addition, weights, a total gym and whirlpools aid in the complete rehabilitation of the student-athlete. In addition, there are athletic training facilities at the Les Murakami Stadium, which serves the baseball team; and the Stan Sheriff Center, which handles the men’s and women’s volleyball and basketball teams. During the football season, the athletic training staff sets up a temporary facility at Aloha Stadium for home games. Another purpose of the athletic training staff is to assist 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. Athletic training students are on-board each year assisting the staff and gaining experience in the field of athletic training. The athletic training staff also includes a medical team, composed of team physicians Dr. Andrew Nichols and Dr. Tiffany Forman, and a number of consultants from the UH’s School of Medicine. They attend most UH-hosted events to provide assistance to the athletic training staff.

The Rainbow Wahine volleyball team has played 11 full seasons in the Stan Sheriff Center, leading the nation in attendance in each of those seasons. 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. 132 Many highlights have come recently. The women’s volleyball team won a SSC record 39-home matches from 2003 through ’05, ending in a five-game loss to Penn State. 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, which makes 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 drew the attention of international audiences as host of the 1998 Miss Universe Pageant. 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. 2006 Rainbow Wahine Volleyball 06 wvb media guide.qxp 8/2/2006 4:14 PM Page 133 STAN SHERIFF CENTER The SSC is one of the most visible buildings on the UH campus.

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. A new scoreboard is also on the horizon. The SSC is also home to the new 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.
