LAHAINALUNA GIRLS VOLLEYBALL v. KAMEHAMEHA SCHOOLS MAUI L0-3 - September 23, 2014

After Saturday’s match against Maui High where the Lunas look like they had digressed from an early season of improvement, I was not sure what to expect against the MIL’s #2 team in Division I.  The Lady Lunas were focused early. They took a lead 14-9. The frontline was blocking well. Balls were dropping on Kamehameha’s side that normally would be dug and kept in play. The fans in the stands were getting anxious. The Warriors took the lead back. In the past, the Lunas would normally fold and the game would get away from them. This time, they kept fighting and took back the lead. But the Warriors are too strong and deep. They prevailed in the first set 21-25.

 The second set, the Lunas could not get on track with their serve-receive game. They could not get their offense going. Lunas lost the second set 10-25.

 

 

In the third set (actually toward the end of the 2^nd set), the Warrior’s coach put in Thalia Leauanae, the freshman daughter of my co-worker. I made sure to get in some shots of her in action. Fortunately, she had a really good game all-around: hitting, serving, and defense. The Lunas shook off the 2^nd set and played well in the third. Unfortunately, they fell short 23-25.
