UH-Manoa Policy on Gender Equity in Intercollegiate Athletics
Gender equity in athletics extends the doctrine of fairness to all areas of athleticactivity at the University level. It is activated by a sense of moral obligation thatexceeds any specific duty to comply with legal requirements, although it alsorecognizes the necessity of observing the tenets of the Patsy Mink Act.
Its desired effect is to offer women and men equal opportunities to partici-pate in sports for which there is demonstrated interest among athletes inHawai‘i and to provide equitable levels of support for coaching, travel, scholar-ships, operating expenses and facilities used. Beyond these specific goals, gen-der equity also fosters an attitude and establishes an environment in whichmen’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 thesame opportunity to realize the highest level of their abilities.
A copy of the plan titled, “Just Do It,” is available in the Athletics Director’sOffice.

GOVERNOR’S MESSAGE

OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR
Aloha!
I wish to extend my warmest aloha to the University of Hawai‘i’s student-athletes, coachesand staff for their outstanding athletic and academic achievements. Our state takes greatpride in the accomplishments of the UH intercollegiate athletics program, and we look for-ward to another year of exciting action.
UH sports teams continue to perform at a high level. Last season, we watched quarter-back Timmy Chang close out his record-setting collegiate career by leading the Warriors to athrilling victory in the Sheraton Hawai‘i Bowl. And who could forget the stunning perfor-mance of our Rainbow Wahine volleyball team led by head coach Dave Shoji, as these youngstudent-athletes turned what was initially regarded as a rebuilding year into a dramatic runfor the national championship.
We are also proud of UH’s commitment to academics, in that our student-athletes excelin the classroom as well as in sports competitions. They are also exemplary role models whogenerously donate their time to numerous community activities.
Many UH student-athletes have made it into the professional ranks or gone on tobecome leaders in other fields. Such accomplishments enhance the University’s and state’soverall international reputation.
On behalf of the people of Hawai‘i, I commend the UH Athletics program and AthleticsDirector Herman Frazier for the unwavering commitment to excellence, and offer my bestwishes for success in the coming year.
Mahalo and malama pono,
Linda LingleGovernor, State of Hawai‘i

The Western AthleticConference featuressome of the mostexciting competitionat some of the mostdiverse campuses inthe nation. With ninemembers in NewMexico, Louisiana,Idaho, Nevada,California, Utah, and
Hawai‘i, the WAC continues to build uponits most recent success.
The WAC provides its student-athletesthe chance to travel to scenic destinationsand gain exposure in some of the nation’slargest and most accessible media mar-kets. In addition, the academic reputationof many of the WAC schools is unparal-leled, with some of the nation’s mostrespected institutions of higher learningamong the WAC ranks.
This season marks the 44th for theWAC, making it the sixth oldest among thenation’s 11 Division I-A conferences. Itshistory traces back to 1962, when theoriginal six-team league was created.Charter members were Arizona, ArizonaState, Brigham Young, New Mexico, Utah,and Wyoming.
The WAC began operation with the1962-63 academic year, and severalchanges have occurred since. UTEP andColorado State became members inSeptember 1967, while Arizona andArizona State withdrew June 30, 1978.Other membership additions included SanDiego State (July 1, 1978); Hawai‘i (July 1,1979); Air Force (July 1, 1980); FresnoState (July 1, 1992); UNLV, Rice, San JoseState, SMU, TCU, and Tulsa (July 1, 1996);and Nevada (July 1, 2000). Air Force,Brigham Young, Colorado State, UNLV, NewMexico, San Diego State, Utah, andWyoming withdrew June 30, 1999. BoiseState and Louisiana Tech became WAC
members on July 1, 2001, while TCU with-drew following the 2000-01 season. Thisyear, three more additions join the leaguein Idaho, New Mexico State, and UtahState (July 1, 2005), while Rice, SMU,UTEP, and Tulsa withdrew from the confer-ence July 1, 2005.
The WAC began competition with 10sports, including football, basketball,track and field, baseball, wrestling, swim-ming, tennis, golf, cross country, andgymnastics. The first championship washeld in November 1962, when Arizona wonthe men’s cross country title. New Mexicofollowed with the first WAC football title.Arizona finished second in the NCAACollege World Series and, less than threeyears later, Arizona State claimed theleague’s first NCAA title when the SunDevils won the College World Series tro-phy. Rice won the College World Series in2003.
Before July 1, 1990, the WAC spon-sored championships only in men’s sports.However, a merger with the High CountryAthletic Conference formed a single con-ference under one administrative struc-ture, and the 1990-91 athletic year wasthe first in which both men and womencompeted under the WAC name.
Presently, the WAC crowns team andindividual champions in 19 sports - eightmen’s and 11 women’s.

Dave Shoji’s 30th year as the head coach of the RainbowWahine program may have been one of the most memo-rable.
He opened the season with little expectations ofwhat was his youngest team ever. But the youngRainbow Wahine had a surprise in store forShoji, along with the rest of the state.
Hawai‘i scratched and clawed its wayto the program’s second undefeated reg-ular season, winning 30 matches beforesuffering its first loss at the hands ofWisconsin in the NCAA Regional.
Shoji coached his 1,000th col-legiate match on Sept. 25, 2004,against Pepperdine, collected his850th win on the same night,and guided his Rainbow Wahineto an unexpected seventh-straight regional. He alsoearned WAC and AVCA RegionCoach of the Year honors, theeighth of each in his career.
“Last year just reaffirmedour belief in the philosophy ofhow we train,” Shoji said. “Webelieve being as fit as we canbe, taking a lot of repetitionsand being technically sound,then taking what we have andconforming a system best suitedfor the players on the team.”
Shoji then received anotherhonor in February 2005 as hewas inducted into the Hawai‘iSports Hall of Fame.
“It was a great honor to beinducted into the Hall of Fame,”Shoji said. “For me to be includ-ed in that elite group of athletesis a tribute to the RainbowWahine volleyball program, andeveryone who has been involvedcan share the honor with me.”
In 1975, a young Shoji took over the reins of theUniversity of Hawai‘i women’s volleyball program. Hewas just 28 years old with no clue that he would turn a
one-year-old program into a national powerhouse forthe next three decades.
“I don’t think that anybody could’ve envisionedwhat women’s volleyball would be like in 30 years when Istarted in 1975,” Shoji said. “It has evolved not only atUH but around the country from what used to be kind ofa cult sport, with a small fraternity of players around thecountry, into a major team sport. To play in front of
crowds of 7,000 on a regular basis - I don’t think thatever crossed anyone’s mind back then.”
The team was coming off a 9-1 campaign in1974 that ended with the Rainbow Wahine falling toUCLA in the national title match at the AIAWChampionship.
In Shoji’s first four years at the helm of theprogram, he would take the team to two morenational title matches before it finally brokethrough to take the title in 1979 with a five-gamevictory over Utah State in the AIAW finals.
It was the school’s first-ever team nationalchampionship and a sign of great things to comefor the young program.
In 1981, Shoji became the first full-time coachfor a women’s program at UH. He led the team toanother national title, this time in the new NCAATournament in 1982, beating the USC Women of Troyin a come-from-behind, five-game thriller.Shoji would lead the team to another title in 1983
with a straight-set win over UCLA, becoming the firstschool to win back-to-back national championships.
The Rainbow Wahine again returned to thenational championship match in 1987, capping a37-2 season with a sweep of Stanford for the pro-gram’s fourth national title and third NCAA title.
“When I look back to think what was the mostmemorable or my fondest memories, I’d have to sayit was the Klum Gym era,” Shoji remembered.“That’s where it all started. We had some unbeliev-
able matches there from 1977 to the early 1990s.There were some unforgettable momentsagainst the likes of Long Beach State, UCLA and
Pacific that the whole state will always remem-ber. I think the experiences at Klum are the reasons thatwe get the kind of crowds now at the Stan SheriffCenter. Klum Gym is where the state of Hawai‘i fell inlove with volleyball.”

The team lost to Texas in the 1988 national championshipmatch and again to Stanford in 1996. They have yet to reach thepinnacle of a national title since.
The Rainbow Wahine experienced another great run of successthat started with the 1998 season, as transfer Heather Bown led theteam from a perennial Top 25 squad and NCAA Tournament team toagain a national title contender.
Hawai‘i made its way to the NCAA Regional Final in 1998 andwas one of the top seeds in the 1999 tournament before a scrappyTexas A&M team beat UH in the regionals.
Following that season, Louisiana-native Kim Willoughby came tothe program, joining Lily Kahumoku, who was already establishingherself as one of the best players in the country, to form a dynamicduo that would lead the team to great success for another four years.From 2000-03, the Rainbow Wahine advanced to the NCAAChampionship national semifinal match three times, while Shoji’s2003 senior class became the winningest class in school history.
Under Shoji, UH volleyball finished in the Top 10 in 19 of the 23final AVCA polls, and ranked in the top five 14 times. They havemade it to the postseason in all but one year, finishing with a win-ning record in all 30 seasons.
“I guess time really does fly when you’re having fun,” jokedShoji. “It’s great to see the success that has come not only toHawai‘i volleyball but also to the sport as a whole. Now good playerscome from all over the country. It’s gone from a regional sport to anational sport.”
Shoji was a three-sport athlete at Upland High School inCalifornia, playing football, basketball and baseball. He then movedon to UC Santa Barbara, where he played baseball for a year, alongwith three years of volleyball. He earned All-America honors as avolleyball player in 1968 and ’69. He earned his bachelor’s degree inphysical education in 1969.
After spending two years in the U.S. Army, Shoji returned toHawai‘i to coach the Kalani High School girls’ and boys’ volleyballteams. He then took an assistant coaching job at Punahou School.
Shoji and his wife, the former Mary Tennefos, reside in Manoa.They have three children. Cobey, 26, works at Stanford University;Kawika, 17, is a senior at Iolani School; and Erik, 16, is a sophomoreat Punahou School.

Shoji takes over the head coaching job and wins his first-evermatch at UC Riverside (15-17, 15-6, 15-13, 15-11). He finishedhis first season with a 16-2 record, falling to UCLA in the
national championship match, 14-12 and 15-11.
In his fifth season at the helm, Shoji picked up win No. 100against rival USC, 15-4 and 15-11, in the 1979UCLA/National Invitational Tournament in Los Angeles onNov. 3.
But picking up his 100th victory fell in comparison toShoji’s big accomplishment in 1979, giving the University ofHawai‘i its first-ever team national championship, beating Utah State in afive-game thriller, 8-15, 7-15, 15-9, 16-14 and 15-12, in the AIAW NationalChampionship match. Shoji’s squad ended with a final record of 36-5.

It didn’t take long for Shoji to return his Rainbow Wahine to the national spotlight as UH won its sec-ond 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’sWendy’s Classic on Oct. 29.
Shoji led his team back to the NCAA Championships, this time as the favorites, as it sweptthrough 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.
Shoji led the Rainbow Wahine to their fourth national title with an overall record of 37-2. UH host-ed 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, theRainbow 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 Jessieplayed 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.
UH gave Shoji his 300th career victory on Oct. 10 in Los Angeles, as it beat Pepperdine, 15-13, 9-15 and 15-12, at the 1985 UCLA/NIVT. Hawai‘i finished the tournament with a 5-1record.
Shoji took his team for a pair of non-conferencematches at Wyoming and Colorado State during the1988 season. On Oct. 21, at Wyoming, the RainbowWahine won, 15-6, 15-9 and 15-9, to earn Shoji win
No. 400 in his career. The team returned to the NCAAChampionships later that season, but fell to Texas in the NCAA titlematch.

Shoji coached his 30th season at UH, leading his team to a 30-1record, the third-best in school history, in what was supposed tobe a rebuilding year. Shoji coached his 1,000th career match on
Sept. 25 vs. Pepperdine. He continues to be one of the top coach-es in the country, carrying a .853 career-winning percentage, best
among active coaches.
Win No. 500 came for Shoji in a 15-6, 12-15, 15-10, 15-3 win over Houston in the 1992season-opening match in the Hawaiian Airlines Wahine Classic on Sept. 3. That wouldbe a good start to what would be a tough season for Hawai‘i, as it became the onlyteam in Shoji’s career not to make the NCAA Tournament with a record of 15-12.
In his team’s first year against WAC competition, Shoji celebrated his first WACwin with his 600th overall victory, beating Fresno State on Sept.
20. Later that season, Shoji led his team back to the NCAAChampionships for the first time in eight years before falling to
Stanford in the NCAA title match.
On Oct. 30, Fresno State again played victim to a Shoji mile-stone 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 tothe NCAA Championships, which were held in Honolulu thatseason, but the team was upset by Texas A&M in the NCAARegionals.
Hawai‘i got back to the NCAA Championships in 2000, led by sophomore All-American LilyKahumoku. 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.
In his quest for a seventh trip to the NCAA Championships, Shoji found himself on the road againsttwo familiar foes, Brigham Young and Utah, late in the 2002 season. The Rainbow Wahine sweptBYU in Provo before giving Shoji win No. 800 on Nov. 27, just two days before Thanksgiving. Shojihad 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 the defending
national champion Stanford Cardinal, 25-30, 27-30 and 24-30, in New Orleans, La.
The Rainbow Wahine advanced to their eighth NCAA Championshipsoverall and third in four years in 2003, going to Dallas with asenior-laden team. Although Hawai‘i fell short of its goal of a fifthnational title, losing in four games to Florida, the Rainbow Wahinedid reel off their third-highest win total with 36 victories. KimWilloughby became the fourth Rainbow Wahine to win national player ofthe year honors while Kanoe Kamana‘o was the first UH player to be named thenational freshman of the year.

In what was supposed to be a rebuilding year in 2004, Hawai‘i went30-1, holding the nation’s best winning percentage at .968 and wasthe only team to enter the NCAA Tournament undefeated. But youcan only shock the country once, so the 2005 Rainbow Wahineexpect to have the familiar target on their backs as they strive toreturn to the NCAA Championships in search of a fifth national title.
“Our long-term goal is to win another national title,” said DaveShoji, who enters his 31st year as the head coach of the RainbowWahine. “But, for now, we just want to be as good as we can be andimprove daily.”
The majority of last year’s team returns, including all sevenstarters and 12 of the 14 letterwinners.
“We have a solid nucleus coming off a fantastic year,” saidShoji. “We’ll be a little deeper with the addition of newcomers SarahMason and Jamie Houston and last seasons’ redshirts, NickieThomas and Jessica Keefe.
“With all of our depth, the team’s chemistry will be a key.Although it is mostly the same players, the chemistry will probablybe different. Expectations will be higher and there is more depth, sothere will be competition for some spots in the starting lineup. Oncewe have our lineup established, we’ll have to work on the team con-cept. I hope that everyone will want to win and that the team con-cept will carry us as far as we can go.”
The team will need to come together early, as UH is facing whatcould be its toughest schedule in years.
They open the season at the AVCA/NACWAA VolleyballShowcase in Omaha, Neb., facing perennial powerhouse Nebraska,then either Penn State or defending national champion Stanford.Other teams on UH’s non-conference schedule include 2004 NCAAChampionships participants USC and Washington, and another vol-leyball power in UCLA.
“This preseason schedule could be the toughest we’ve everhad,” Shoji said. “In playing the likes of Nebraska, Penn State, USC,UCLA, Washington and possibly Stanford, it’ll definitely help to pre-pare us for our conference and go a long way in determining ournational seed.”
Also adding to the toughness of the schedule is the addition ofUtah State, New Mexico State and Idaho to the Western AthleticConference.
“It will be interesting to see what the new teams add to theWAC this year,” Shoji said. “They all bring something to the confer-ence as they’ve all been to the NCAA Tournament recently. Overall,it’ll be a much stronger conference with the new teams.”
SETTERKanoe Kamana‘o (5-8, Honolulu) returns as the starting setterafter earning All-America honors in both her freshman and sopho-more years.
In 2004, Kamana‘o was the only player in the country to aver-age over 13 assists per game, three digs per game and one block pergame on the season.
“Kanoe is coming off a great year in 2004 and a stint with theU.S. National Team this past summer,” Shoji said. “She’ll again be thecenter of the team. With another year of experience and anotheryear with our quick attack, she’ll continue to make everyone better.”
Backing up Kamana‘o for the third straight year will be CayleyThurlby (5-11, Naperville, IL).
“Cayley will continue to give us depth at the setter position,”Shoji said. “She’s experienced enough to step right in and run ourteam if she has to. But she can also give us some depth in the backcourt with passing and defense.”

MIDDLE HITTERWith three players with starting experience in the middle returning,and one redshirt coming in with valuable experience in practice, theRainbow Wahine are loaded at the middle hitter position.
One of the starting spots will be occupied by senior VictoriaPrince (6-0, Kennewick, WA), who returns after earning All-America honors last season, recording the second-best single-sea-son hitting percentage in school history (.411).
“Victoria had a fantastic year offensively,” Shoji exclaimed.“We’ll be hoping for the same, if not better, this year, although it’llbe tough to do any better, statistically. She hits for a high percent-age, and we’ll need more of that to be successful. She also helps usa lot with a tough jump serve. We’ll need her to improve a little onher blocking stats. Although she did well last season, if she canimprove on her blocking, it’ll really help the team.
“Victoria also had a great spring. She worked really hard in theweight room and has improved on her jumping and her strength.”
The other starting job was split by Juliana Sanders (6-2,Kaneohe, Oahu) and Kari Gregory (6-2, Las Vegas) in 2004 and itcould be the same this season.
“Both Juliana and Kari did a wonderful job last year,” Shojisaid. “We’re confident that either can go in and do the job. Sandersis more of an offensive threat while Gregory is a better blocker. Wemay just use them again in the same role we did last year. Julianahas also been struggling with injuries, but we hope to have herhealthy for the beginning of the season.”
Also in the mix is redshirt freshman Nickie Thomas (6-3,Austin, TX).
“Nickie had a good spring,” Shoji said. “She’s physicallystronger and will be able to give us a physical presence in the mid-dle. She just needs some game experience.”
OUTSIDE HITTERAll three returning outside hitters return from the 2004 team, butcompetition will be fierce as six players vie for playing time at boththe left-side and right-side hitter positions.
Susie Boogaard (6-2, Bellflower, CA) and Alicia Arnott (6-0,Hilo, Hawai‘i) started on the left in 2004 with Tara Hittle (6-0,Colorado Springs, CO) on the right.
“Our incumbent lefts are Boogaard and Arnott,” Shojiexplained. “But we experimented with Boogaard on the right duringthe spring and that is probably what we’ll do this season. There willbe a little change in the alignment even though we return all threestarters.”
The left-side hitter position will also be bolstered by the addi-tions of Sarah Mason (6-3, Hilo, Hawai‘i), a transfer from Oregon,redshirt freshman Jessica Keefe (6-1, Ames, IA) and incomingfreshman Jamie Houston (6-2, Huntsville, AL).
“All of the above will be given reps on both the left and theright,” Shoji added.
Boogaard is expected to start at the right-side hitter positionafter garnering second team all-WAC honors.
“Boogaard is just a solid volleyball player,” Shoji said. “She hasgreat skills and is good at passing, blocking and setting. She’s wellsuited for the right. She can also remain in the passing formationfor all six rotations. Susie’s also a solid line blocker, which is whatwe’ll need from the right. Offensively, she’ll have less attempts, butwe’ll still be looking for her to contribute.”
Arnott looks to return to the left after a 2004 campaign thatearned her first team all-WAC honors.

“Arnott had a great sophomore year,” said Shoji. “She hit for anacceptable percentage for the amount of sets she saw. She just hasto work on improving those numbers to stay competitive at thatposition.”
Hittle started most of the 2004 season at the right-side hitterposition, earning WAC Freshman of the Year honors, but will likelymove over to the left in 2005.
“Hittle had a tremendous year that we weren’t expecting fromher in her first year in college,” Shoji admitted. “She added a lot tothe mix in terms of energy and an overall feel for the game. She willneed more consistency this year and hit for a higher percentage.She’ll also be a primary passer and will help us on defense with hergreat foot speed. If she can hit for a high percentage, she’ll add toour overall effectiveness.”
Mason comes to UH after spending two years at Oregon, whereshe earned all-Pac 10 honorable-mention honors in 2004.
“Mason adds a different look for us on the outside,” said Shoji.“She has great size and a whip of an arm. She could really give us alot offensively on the left, but could be looking at her on the rightbecause she has good blocking skills. We’ll see where she fits inafter fall camp.”
Houston gained valuable experience this past season, playingon the U.S. Junior National Team.
“Houston will be the unknown X-factor,” Shoji said. “She pos-sesses a great vertical and can really hit the ball. It’s too early to saywhat kind of contribution she’ll make. We’ll have to find out whenshe gets here.”
Keefe is coming off a redshirt season while recovering fromknee surgery.
“Keefe is vastly improved,” Shoji said. “She has a very quickarm and showed us that she can put the ball down during some ofthe spring matches.”
Caroline Blood (6-0, Long Beach, CA) could also figure in onthe outside or in the middle. The former UH softball player saw lim-ited playing time in 2004, but recorded the match-winning block vs.Boise State.
“Blood is just an outstanding athlete,” Shoji said. “She justneeds to improve on her skills. She has the ability to learn the gameand it’s just a matter of time before she gains enough technique andexperience.”
LIBERO/DEFENSIVE SPECIALISTAshley Watanabe (5-6, Aiea, Oahu) was a second team all-WAChonoree in 2004 and returns to the libero position where she brokethe school record for digs per game in a season.
“Watanabe is the leading candidate for libero,” Shoji said.“She’s earned the spot right now. We hope she has a great seniorseason, because that would go a long way towards our success. Shehas enough experience and has taken enough reps that it should beautomatic to her.”
Backing up Watanabe at libero are Kelly Ong (5-5, Oakland,CA) and Raeceen Woolford (5-7, Pearl City, Oahu), who may alsosee playing time as defensive subs.
“Ong gave us some valuable moments last year,” Shoji recalled.“She can give us a lot as a serving specialist, where she created a lotof situations that converted to points. She’ll play the same role thisyear, coming in to serve and play defense.
“Woolford continues to improve. Athletically, she’s perfect forthe libero spot, but she needs to pass consistently. She’s very closeto contributing.”

Rebuilding Year?After losing what may have been one of thegreatest classes in school history to gradua-tion, expectations for the 2004 RainbowWahine volleyball team were low. Some saidtheir preseason top 25 ranking of 13 wasmuch too high. Some asked if it would bethe year that UH’s streak of WAC champi-onships and WAC matches would besnapped. On paper, it seemed that all ofthese things could be true.
But the experts aren’t always right.Sometimes there are factors that don’t showup on paper. The 2004 Rainbow Wahine setout to prove everyone wrong.
“Cardiac Keiki”The Rainbow Wahine opened the seasonwith 10 non-conference matches whichincluded five teams that were ranked in thepreseason top 25 poll.
After opening the season with a sweepof Eastern Washington, UH won two five-game matches against San Diego and No. 17Arizona to take the Hawaiian AirlinesWahine Classic title.
Hawai‘i then beat Southwest MissouriState and No. 17 Santa Clara, both in fourgames, to open the Mauna Loa MacadamiaNut Challenge, taking a 5-0 record into itsannual meeting with UCLA.
The Bruins came into the match with aNo. 3 national ranking, and were eyeing the
top spot in the country after learning thatboth the No. 1 and 2 teams in the countryhad lost earlier in the day.
UH won a hard-fought game one, 32-30, only to struggle in a 20-30 loss in gametwo. They then won game three, 30-23,before losing the fourth game, 27-30, set-ting up the decisive game five.
The Rainbow Wahine started game fivewith a 10-6 edge, only to see UCLA comeback and put Hawai‘i on the ropes at 13-11.But the never-say-die attitude of UHbrought them back, scoring the final fourpoints, capped by a match-winning block bySusie Boogaard and Victoria Prince, to takegame five, 15-13.
Soon after its third five-game victory injust six matches, UH earned the nicknameof “Cardiac Keiki (Kids).”
Quick AttackThe Rainbow Wahine also started to changethe style of play from what they had tradi-tionally been. Instead of the overpowering“set it high and pound it over them”approach in the days of Kim Willoughby andLily Kahumoku, Hawai‘i switched to a bal-anced, quick-attack offense that saw fourdifferent players average more than 2.5 killsper game. Hawai‘i kept its sets low and quickto beat opposing blockers to the point ofattack.
UH also had one of its best blocking sea-sons in recent memory, putting up 3.37blocks per game, the most since 1999 andthe eighth-most in program history.
A Grand MilestoneAlready shocking the nation with a 6-0 recordand three wins over ranked opponents, theRainbow Wahine marched on, sweeping No.14 California and beating UC Irvine in four towin the Waikiki Beach Marriott Invitationaltitle. This left UH with just two matchesagainst Pepperdine before starting thedefense of its Western Athletic Conferencetitle.
Hawai‘i swept the Waves in the firstmatch, but it was the second Pepperdinematch that had greater meaning as it markedDave Shoji’s 1,000th career match as headcoach of the Rainbow Wahine.
The match honored Shoji’s coaching per-fectly as UH won with exceptional floordefense, recording a school rally-scoringrecord 119 team digs, including 30 by setterKanoe Kamana‘o.
New Stars Emerge on the RoadAs the season went along, different playersstarted to step up to keep UH’s unbeatenrecord alive. In fact, on each of their roadtrips, a Rainbow Wahine came back to cap-ture WAC Player of the Week honors.
On the first road trip it was freshmanTara Hittle. In the WAC opener at FresnoState, Hittle hit .625 with 22 kills and 10digs. She then came up with 19 kills and a.545 hitting percentage at Nevada, earningher both WAC and CVU.com National Playerof the Week honors.

10 Years of Big Crowds and WinsUH’s Stan Sheriff Center celebrated its 10thanniversary as the home of Hawai‘i arenasports with the Rainbow Wahine’s win overRice on Oct. 21.
Since its opening in 1994, the arenahas been the home of the biggest crowds inwomen’s volleyball every year. Hawai‘i hasled the nation in attendance every full sea-son that they have been in the SSC. Lastyear, the Rainbow Wahine again led thenation in attendance in 2004, averaging7,135 per match.
UH has an overall record of 199-14(.934) in the arena and is currently ridingthe nation’s longest home-winning streak at38 matches.
Threats to the StreakHawai‘i continued its dominance of theWestern Athletic Conference, winning itsninth-straight regular-season title whilepushing its conference-winning streak to91 matches.
But the WAC teams didn’t make it easyfor the Rainbow Wahine. Of their 13 winsin WAC play, five came in four games, whiletwo matches lasted five.
Both of the five-gamers came at theexpense of Nevada. Hawai‘i trailed theWolf Pack two games to one in Reno, butfought back to 32-30 and 15-13 wins ingames four and five to survive.
On senior night in Honolulu, theRainbow Wahine found themselves downtwo games to none to Nevada before win-ning the final three games to keep thestreak alive.
WAC Tournament ChampionsAfter surviving numerous challenges duringthe regular season, Hawai‘i went into theWAC Tournament knowing it would be astruggle.
Hawai‘i beat SMU and Fresno State toset up a third meeting with Nevada in thechampionship match.
The Rainbow Wahine came out firing,winning game one, 30-21. The Pack cameback to win the second game, 30-28, beforeHawai‘i took the match with 30-22 and 30-
27 wins in games three and four to clinch itsfifth-straight WAC Tournament title.
Number One AgainJust a day after winning the WAC Tournamentchampionship, the Rainbow Wahine foundthemselves atop the USA Today/AVCA CoachesPoll for the first time since 2002.
But their stay on top lasted just oneweek as Nebraska moved ahead of theRainbow Wahine in the next poll.
Undefeated Regular SeasonAlthough they were again pushed to thelimit, falling behind 0-2 at Utah Statebefore battling to a five-game victory, andneeding four games to win at No. 19 Utah,the Rainbow Wahine closed out the 2004regular season unblemished with a perfect28-0 record.

2005 Rainbow Wahine Volleyball 57
The Rainbow Wahine became just the14th team to enter the NCAA Tournamentwith an undefeated record in the tourna-ment’s 24-year history. Hawai‘i had oneother undefeated regular season, headinginto the 1995 NCAA Tournament at 29-0.
On the Road AgainAfter almost two weeks on the road to endthe regular season, the Rainbow Wahinefinally returned home on Thanksgiving Day.But their stay in the islands lasted just theweekend as UH, despite being the onlyundefeated team in the country, learnedthat they wouldn’t host the first-and sec-ond-rounds of the NCAA Tournament.
Instead, they were back on a plane,headed to Ft. Collins, Colo., for the tourna-ment’s first two rounds.
Onto the NCAAsHawai‘i marched on, taking its NCAATournament No. 3 seed to the road wherethey faced Colorado in the first round. Butjust as it had been all season long, UHwould again have a new hurdle to overcomeas starting libero Ashley Watanabe brokeher wrist in practice just two days before thestart of competition.
Watanabe was just seven digs shy of theUH single-season record when she sufferedthe season-ending injury.
Despite all the setbacks, the RainbowWahine continued to move on. They droppedgame one to the Buffs, 30-24, only to come
back and dominate the rest of the way, win-ning 30-22, 30-20 and 30-24.
They then swept Purdue in the secondround to advance to their seventh consecu-tive regional.
Could They Do It Again?After winning their two matches in Ft.Collins, the Rainbow Wahine flew back toHawai‘i for a couple of days to get things inorder, then took to the road again. This timeit was on to Green Bay, Wisc., where UHfaced the Wisconsin Badgers in their homestate.
The Rainbow Wahine found themselvesin a familiar position, losing the first twogames, 31-29 and 30-23. But, just as theyhad done all year, Hawai‘i fought back towin the third and fourth games, 30-22 and30-28, forcing a five-game match for theeighth time during the season.
Wisconsin and Hawai‘i battled early to a9-9 tie before UH got to the first match-point at 14-13. But the Badgers quicklyfought it off with two points, giving them-selves a match point at 15-14. From there, itwas an all-out battle to the end. Hawai‘iheld off match points at 15-14, 16-15, 17-16and 18-17 before getting another matchpoint of its own on consecutive kills bySanders. With the Rainbow Wahine up 19-18, Wisconsin took over as Jill Odenthal putaway her match-high 25th kill before two-straight UW blocks finally ended the game,21-19.

UH Bids Aloha to Fotu, EckmierAfter the ball touched the floor to scoreWisconsin’s final point, the realization setin that UH’s dream season had come to aclose with its first loss. And with the endof the season marked the end of twocareers at Hawai‘i.
Teisa Fotu and Melody Eckmier playedbig roles in the team’s unexpected successin 2004 despite combining for just sixstarts in the season. The two seniors bothhad five years of collegiate experience,becoming leaders for the young RainbowWahine to follow.
Fotu had played at Eastern Arizonaand Hawai‘i Pacific before joining Hawai‘iin 2003. She sat out that season beforebecoming the do-it-all player in 2004.
The Laie, Oahu, native played atlibero and right-side hitter. On nights thatUH needed help in the back row, she’dhave 20 digs. When they were in need ofhelp at the net, she had 10 blocks. WhenWatanabe went out with injury, shebecame the libero. It always seemed to bejust enough to give UH another win.
Eckmier was a part of many great UHteams, carrying a 129-11 (.921) recordwhile she played. She was a part of threefinal four teams, as a redshirt in 2000 anda player in 2002 and ‘03.
The Simi Valley, Calif., native left theprogram with 128 blocks in 133 gamesplayed.

NATIONAL CHAMPIONS
1979 AIAW CHAMPIONS
The 1979 Rainbow Wahine volleyball team became the first pro-gram at the University of Hawai‘i to win a national championship.After finishing second three times (1974, ’75, ’77) and third twice(1976, ’78), fifth-year head coach Dave Shoji mixed the right ele-ments to produce a championship formula.
Seniors Waynette Mitchell, Terry Malterre and Angie Andrade,along with sophomore Diane Sebastian, led the way toCarbondale, Ill., site of the Association for IntercollegiateAthletics for Women Nationals, where they earned all-tournamentteam honors.
The two-and-a-half-hour marathon against Utah State endedwith Mitchell serving “aloha ball” and Bonnie Gouveia tooling theAggie block for the championship point. It was the first time inAIAW history a team captured the national championship afterdropping the first two games, 8-15, 7-15, 15-9, 16-14, 15-12.
“This win was huge because it put us over the top. We were knockingon the door after finishing second or third in 1975, ‘76, ‘77, and‘78.”
— Head coach Dave Shoji

NATIONAL CHAMPIONS
1982 NCAA CHAMPIONS
The 1982 Rainbow Wahine volleyball squad won a second nationalchampionship, the first as a member of the National CollegiateAthletic Association, behind the dominating force of middleblocker Deitre Collins, the hammering of Kori Pulaski and the finesetting of Joyce Ka‘apuni.
Head coach Dave Shoji won his second national title in fouryears and had the best record among the nation’s top coaches at229-41-1.
The Rainbow Wahine fought hard to steal the championshipring right off the finger of arch rival USC, 14-16, 9-15, 15-13, 15-10, 15-12. It was the second time the Rainbow Wahine had comeback from a two-game deficit to win the trophy. Shoji earnedCollegiate Volleyball Coaches Association Coach of the Year honorsand Collins earned final four MVP and first team All-America hon-ors. The 1982 squad finished the season with a remarkable 33-1overall record.
“USC had eliminated us in 1981 and just started to dominate colle-giate volleyball at the time. They had a really young team and hadus down, 0-2. I think everyone was rooting for us because you don’tlike to see a team win all the time…and I think it was real importantthat someone else win besides them.”

An overall record of 37-2 speaks for itself. After hosting the NCAAfirst round and Northwest Regional for the first-time ever in KlumGym, the Rainbow Wahine advanced to the final four inIndianapolis, Ind.
It took almost two hours for head coach Dave Shoji to win hisfourth national championship in nine years. The win was Hawai‘i’sfirst title and first final four appearance since 1983. The Wahinecaptured the crown with a four-set victory over Stanford, 15-10,15-10, 9-15, 15-1.

Herman Ronald Frazier made a name forhimself as a world-class athlete and is nowbecoming a household name as the 17thdirector of athletics at the University ofHawai‘i.
The 50-year-old Frazier earned thedistinction of being named among the Top50 Most Powerful Blacks in Sports in theMarch 2005 issue of BLACK ENTERPRISEmagazine.
In the past few years, Frazier has beenrecognized both nationally and interna-tionally. In 2001, he received the NCAASilver Anniversary Award, which recognizesformer student-athletes who have distin-guished themselves after completing theircollegiate athletic careers 25 years ago. In2003, Sports Illustrated tabbed him one ofthe 101 most influential minorities insports.
And most recently, Frazier was namedto the NCAA/USOC Task Force to overseechanges in Olympic sports sponsored byNCAA schools and to the Division I NCAAFootball Issues Committee.
Frazier, who enters his fourth yearoverseeing the UH Athletics Department,has faced the challenges head on and real-izes there is more work to be done.
“I am extremely happy to be enteringmy fourth year at the University ofHawai‘i,” Frazier said. “We have made bigstrides in the last three years, but we alsoknow we have a long way to go.”
Upgrading the UH athletic facilities isnext on Frazier’s agenda to tackle.
“As we prepare for the future, we willlook at facilities and make that our nextbig priority,” Frazier pointed out.
Frazier believes that capital improve-ments are critical to molding UH for thefuture and it has been a big part of hisapproach the past three years.
“Bricks and mortar are vital for theinfrastructure of the department,” Fraziersaid. “Keeping the aesthetic appearance isessential for not only recruiting the elitestudent-athletes, but also imperative inluring the top coaches in the country.”
His more than a quarter of a centuryof experience as an administrator, coupledtogether with the significant leadershiproles within NCAA athletics organizationsand the U.S. Olympic community, speakvolumes as to the depth and breadth of hisexperience in every facet of athleticsadministration.
His ability to lead stems beyond thePacific Rim into all corners of the world asevident by his latest authoritative role --Chef de Mission of Team USA for the XXVIIIOlympiad in 2004 in Athens, Greece.
Frazier came to Hawai‘i via theUniversity of Alabama-Birmingham (UAB),where he was the athletics director for twoyears since 2000. Before his term at UAB,Frazier spent 23 years in the athleticsdepartment at Arizona State University.
During his first three years managingthe UH athletics department, he hasincreased the budget from $16 million to$21.3 million for the current 2005-06 year.
Before Frazier began building animpressive resume as an administrator, hewas a multi-sport athlete at GermantownHigh in Philadelphia.
From there, Frazier launched his colle-giate athletic career at Division III DenisonUniversity, and later at Arizona StateUniversity, where he was an eight-time All-American and team captain of the 1977national championship track team. Hegraduated from ASU in 1977 with a degreein political science.
Frazier made a name for himself in theOlympic Arena running the leadoff leg ofthe gold medal-winning 4x400-meter relayteam, while also garnering a bronze medalin the 400-meter dash at the 1976 XXIOlympiad in Montreal. He was also a goldmedalist at both the 1975 and ‘79 Pan-American Games and was a member of the1980 U.S. Olympic team that boycotted theXXII Olympiad in Moscow.

LETTERWINNERS CLUB
130
The UH Letterwinners Club was formed in1997 in order to promote pride and fel-lowship amongst letterwinners and toprovide assistance to past and presentathletes.
The LWC holds receptions at thenewly renovated clubhouse on the UHManoa campus. At these gatherings, for-mer athletes have the opportunity to gettogether and reminisce about their play-ing days. Aside from enjoying the compa-ny of former athletes, the LWC movesbeyond socialization by giving back tocurrent student-athletes.
In January and March of 2001, the LWC donated laptop computers to theNagatani Academic Center. With the help of these computers, student-ath-letes on the road are able to keep up with the demands of school while trav-eling. The club has also assisted with fund drives for former letterwinners --the late Ann (Goldensen) Kang (women’s volleyball) and Nate Jackson (foot-ball) -- to help offset medical costs.
The current membership of the LWC is made up of 160 former athletes,with 59 of them being life members. Current members include: UH footballhead coach June Jones (football, baseball, men’s basketball); radio personali-ty Dr. Larry Price (football, men’s volleyball, track); former NFL running backGary Allen (football); former dean of the UH College of Education, Dr. CharlesAraki (football, track); UH men’s basketball color analyst Artie Wilson (men’sbasketball, baseball); chairman of the board and director of the FinanceFactors family of companies, Daniel Lau (baseball, track); and UH men’s bas-ketball associate head coach Bob Nash (men’s basketball).
The sole requirement of joining the LWC is to have been listed for atleast one year on a roster of any sport recognized by the AthleticsDepartment. Membership dues are based on when eligibility of the memberwas completed. It’s free for up to two years following completion of eligibili-ty. 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 isalso 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 isalso a former letterwinner. Life members pay a one-time fee of $1000, whichis either paid in one full payment, two payments of $500 within a two-yearperiod, or three payments of $350 within a three-year period. The moneycollected from the lifetime membership fee is added to an endowment fundto ensure the perpetuation of the club.
Members of the LWC enjoy benefits which include: a 50-percent discounton a season ticket to a sport of their choice; a free ticket to one game andreception in Honolulu; a decal; subscription to “Rainbow Letters”; a mem-bership directory; and preferred seating for UH football (based on availabili-ty). Perhaps the greatest benefit for the members, however, is the opportu-nity 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.
LWC members enjoyed a sold-out reception at Mizuno’s Japanese Steakhouse in LasVegas, Nev., following a University of Hawai‘i football game on Sept. 19, 2003.Mizuno’s, located in the Tropicana Hotel, is owned by LWC member Warren Seta.

Academics and athletics go hand-in-handfor student-athletes at UH and each onemust learn to balance the various demandsin their everyday college life. Assistingwith this taxing assignment is the AthleticsDepartment’s office of Student Affairs andStudent-Athlete Academic Services (SAAS,College of Arts and Sciences), whose quali-fied academic staff provides athletes withresources and support.
The $1 million Nagatani AcademicCenter (NAC), funded by UH booster BobNagatani, was constructed in 1999. TheNAC houses both the academic services andstudent affairs offices. The center wasdesigned to offer student-athletes anaccessible environment where they canconcentrate on their academic pursuits.The NAC is equipped with two computerlabs and remains open an average of 70hours each week. The center also acts as astudy hall for UH student-athletes and isthe hub for meetings, study groups, andone-on-one sessions with advisors andtutors.
SAAS took charge of academic servicesfor the athletics department in 2000 underthe guidance of Dr. Ron Cambra. The SAASadvising team oversees the tutoring, advis-ing, and scheduling aspects of each stu-dent-athlete.
Special programs and services,designed to meet the individual needs ofeach of the approximately 500 athleteswho participate in any of UH’s 19 intercol-legiate sports, are provided at SAAS. Thesecomprehensive academic and support pro-
grams include academic advising, retentionprograms, personal, career, and perfor-mance-enhancement counseling, and aCHAMPS Life Skills Program.
The Student Affairs staff assists stu-dent-athletes regarding college and livingexpenses such as housing, meals, admis-sions, financial aid, and scholarships.
In Fall 2002, the NAC annex, locatedon the second floor of the AthleticsComplex, was opened to accommodate thegrowing needs of student-athletes. Theannex houses a large central study areawith three adjacent break-out rooms.Freshmen are required to meet in thesementoring or study group pods. The stu-dent-athletes as a whole log an average of1,655 study hall hours each week.
The NAC provides each student-athletewith the opportunity to reach academicsuccess. Furthermore, the center strives toensure that each student-athlete is provid-ed with the best chance of earning adegree. The success of this goal is reflectedin the 75-percent graduation rate of stu-dent-athletes, which is ranked in the Top25 among Division I public institutions.
In the past seven years, the number ofscholar-athletes has risen from 112 to 154,a 37.5-percent increase. At the end ofSpring 2005, the student-athlete popula-tion boasted a 98-percent retention rate.At the end of the semester, 46 percent ofstudent-athletes (199 students) earned asemester GPA of 3.0 or higher and 15 stu-dent-athletes currently carry a 4.0 GPA forthe Spring 2005 semester.
