Sand Volleyball: "Our first priority is indoor"

You guys, I do not care about sand volleyball. And, apparently, it's not the priority for the coaching staff either. In today's Honolulu Star Advertiser ("UH Sand Volleyball continues to grow"):
"As a coaching staff we want to compete and do well," (Scott) Wong said. "But our first priority is indoor, everybody knows that. We communicate that to the sand-only girls, but beach is their priority. I want them to be able to compete more and learn a different sport, but also help with indoor."
That must have felt nice for the sand-only girls. The article is accompanied by a picture of Ali Longo and Ceone Nojima (a jumper for UH track and field last year) playing against Jade Vorster and Katie Spieler. Maybe they'll be partners.

The official sand schedule has been released. The home matches will be on March 15 (against Florida International) and March 16 (Hawaii Tournament with Hawaii, Hawaii Pacific, Chaminade, and Florida International). Note that the spring match for indoor against Texas Tech is also on March 15.

  2. If indoor is the first priority why do we only have one recruit for 2014 Wong?

    1. Hawai'i can only offer... it is up to the recruit if and when they want to commit.

  7. That article was just written badly. When he said "our", I'm sure he was talking about the indoor girls and not the sand coaching staff.

  8. Ricketts came back from the Wahine basketball road trip early, I guess because of school and also she will do the color for the softball game for this Friday's game.

    1. that makes sense since only the top five duos compete.

    2. sucks for the other 10 people then. they'll basically get to play for only the two days at home maybe.
