Shoji sets tentative opening lineup

It's not official. But if the Hawaii Rainbow Wahine volleyball team were to open play today, the lineup would look very similar to that of last year.

Coach Dave Shoji told his team after yesterday's practice that the starters would be middles Victoria Prince and Juliana Sanders, hitters Alicia Arnott, Susie Boogaard and Sarah Mason, setter Kanoe Kamana'o and libero Ashley Watanabe. All of the players were starters last year, with the exception of Mason, a junior transfer from Oregon.

"But that's if we were playing (today)," Shoji said. "It could change in the next three practices."

Hawaii practices tomorrow and Tuesday before leaving Tuesday night for the AVCANACWAA Volleyball Showcase in Omaha, Neb. The fourth-ranked Wahine face No. 1 Nebraska on Friday at 3:30 p.m., Hawaii time.
