HONOLULU – The newest era of Rainbow Wahine volleyball is under way.

Under the direction of first-year head coach Joshua Walker, the University of Hawai’i women’s volleyball team took care of business to begin the 2026 season with a four-set victory over Georgia Southern (0-1) on Friday night, (25-18, 25-20, 17-25, 25-18).

Tali Hakas led the way for the Rainbow Wahine (1-0) as she paced all players in the match with 15 kills on 42 swings, committing only two attacking errors while chipping in nine digs and a block in her first UH game action in nearly a year.

“It was beautiful,” Hakas said following the match when asked about her return from injury. “I don’t think I have enough words to describe the way I was feeling, even before the step out on the court.”

The junior outside hitter missed the majority of UH’s 2025 campaign with a shoulder injury, playing in the first three matches of the year before going on the shelf. While her on-court ability was sorely missed, the energy and emotion that comes with Hakas being active proved to be an even bigger hole for last season’s squad.

Miliana Sylvester followed closely behind Hakas for Hawai’i in the winning effort, chipping in 13 kills on 23 swings while Dayton transfer Panna Ratkai turned in a double-double with 10 kills and 11 digs to go along with four service aces in her official Rainbow Wahine regular season debut.

Hawai’i started quickly, cruising to a 25-18 victory in the night’s opening stanza as the group hit .244 behind a bevy of different offensive options. Hakas had seven of her 15 kills in the first set, setting the tone with a fiery passion after every point.

Georgia Southern seemed to find a rhythm to begin the follow-up frame, but a 10-3 run by the Rainbow Wahine flipped the script of the set and pushed Hawai’i back towards a comfortable two sets to none lead over the Eagles.

It wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows for the Rainbow Wahine though, faltering in the third frame in a big way as Georgia Southern hit for their highest number of the night at .375 to force a fourth set.

Hawai’i would re-group heading into the night’s eventual final frame, seeing a slight lineup shift as Oregon State transfer Maëli Cormier came off the bench to provide a late lift. The sophomore OH/OPP tallied six of her seven kills in the fourth set and didn’t commit a single attacking error in the stanza.

The Rainbow Wahine also cleaned up the attack as a whole in the night’s final action, converting at a .419 hitting clip as a group to close out the victory.

Cormier completed her night with seven kills on just 10 attempts in a set and a half of work while Adrianna Arquette tied her career high of 17 digs to go along with 48 assists for Hawai’i.

Reagan Barth blasted down a team-high 14 kills in the loss for Georgia Southern while Beka Pfefferkorn closely trailed behind with 13 putdowns of her own for the Eagles.

Georgia Southern will look to bounce back on Saturday afternoon against San Diego, who fell in straight sets to No. 21 Baylor earlier on Friday.

Hawai’i will wrap up the Saturday action with a date with No. 21 Baylor, setting up a fun showdown between head coach Joshua Walker’s old program and new program. First serve is scheduled for 7 p.m. HT.

KALIHI – Bulldogs bite back.

In Thursday night’s “Bulldog Bowl” at Farrington High School, it was the guys in green that got off a near three-year slide as the Kaimuki Bulldogs used a punishing rushing attack, timely special teams plays and a hat trick of touchdowns from Tieler Sufon to take down the Waialua Bulldogs, 26-14.

Sufon didn’t need many touches to star for a win-starved Kaimuki squad, getting three total carries on the night for 122 yards and three scores. The sophomore also added a pair of tackles and had an interception that was called back after a wild sequence.

LISTEN TO THE BROADCAST

Kaimuki (1-1, 1-0 league) ran for 228 total yards on the ground as a group as six different players finished with 10 or more yards rushing. Sohn Santos added 49 yards on seven carries while Kilifi Koli chipped in four rushes for 21 yards.

It was Waialua (1-1, 0-1 league) that got off to the quicker start, forcing three turnovers in the opening 12 minutes while taking a 7-0 lead behind a Jeremiah Clark 54-yard catch-and-run from QB Konan Riddleberger.

Despite the early turnover woes, Kaimuki’s defense didn’t flinch as it forced a fumble and turnover-on-downs to keep in a one-possession game more than midway through the 2nd quarter.

The Kaimuki offense finally repaid the defenders as halftime approached, seeing Sufon surge through the Waialua defense for a 30-yard touchdown with 3:18 left in the second frame. After an unsportsmanlike penalty against Waialua set up Kaimuki on the 1-and-a-half-yard line, the Bulldogs in green tried to go for two but were stopped after a faulty snap and remained down by a point, 7-6.

Kaimuki would catch Waialua off guard on the ensuing kickoff with an onside recovery, but the Waialua defense forced a fifth turnover of the first half to take the ball right back by the 50.

It looked as though Waialua played the end of the half perfectly, setting up in the middle of the hashmarks from 30 yards out for a field goal attempt with five seconds left before the break.

Then, the Kaimuki special teams unit turned the tide.

The kick was blocked and promptly recovered by Kaimuki’s Zephanaia Flaisek, who picked the ball up and sprinted 70 yards for a touchdown as the first half clock expired, giving Kaimuki its first halftime lead since November 2023.

With a 12-7 advantage in hand, Kaimuki sandwiched scores around the halftime break as Kilifi Koli returned the third quarter opening kick inside Waialua’s 10-yard line and Sufon finished the job with his second score of the evening.

Riding the momentum, Kaimuki’s defense forced a turnover on downs once again and bled the rest of the third quarter clock to push Waialua to the brink.

The Division II Bulldogs from the North Shore still showed resilience despite the nightmare stretch of middle quarters, punching back with a quick strike to begin the 4th quarter as Riddleberger connected with Clark for a 41-yard touchdown to make it a one-score game once again.

It didn’t matter much as Sufon sprinted away from the Waialua defense two plays later for an 83-yard touchdown, pushing Kaimuki back ahead by two possessions while deflating the energy that had just returned to the opposing sideline.

Riddleberger tossed his second interception of the night on the next drive, allowing Kaimuki to drain the clock to under a minute before giving the ball back to Waialua.

By then, it was too little, too late for the North Shore Bulldogs.

Waialua QB Konan Riddleberger had an up-and-down night, completing 18-of-33 passes for a career-high 245 yards and two touchdowns while also tossing a pair of interceptions. Junior WR Jeremiah Clark turned in his own impressive night despite the loss, hauling in five catches for a game-best 124 yards and both scores for his squad.

Thursday night marked the first win for Kaimuki since October 28, 2023, against Pearl City, snapping an 18-game losing streak for the Bulldogs. It was also the first career varsity tackle football victory for third-year head coach Kawehi Moefu.

Waialua will look to re-group before hosting Riverdale (CO) on September 3 on the North Shore. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. HT.

Next up for Kaimuki will be a return trip to Farrington High School, hosting PAC-5 on September 4 with kickoff slated for 5:30 p.m. HT.

Three players to watch for in Hawaii-Stanford’s Week 0 matchup

Three players to watch for in Hawaii-Stanford’s Week 0 matchup

HONOLULU – Déjà vu for a few.

The University of Hawai’i football team will open a campaign against Stanford once again in 2026, this time traveling to “The Farm” on the continent to take on a brand-new coaching staff and very similar Cardinal team on Saturday afternoon.

The Rainbow Warriors enter 2026 with bigger expectations than any other season in the Timmy Chang era, now entering Year 5 with the former UH signal caller at the helm. It’ll be the third time in those five years that Hawai’i will take on Stanford but the first time in Chang’s tenure that the game will take place on the continent.

It’s a rubber match set up nicely for storylines: Two head coaches of Polynesian decent back at their alma maters, a G6 program on the rise with hopes of flirting with even bigger destinations against a classic college program looking to return to prominence and both teams with a win in their back pocket already from the last two games in Honolulu.

For Stanford, it’s a chance to open up the Tavita Pritchard era at home with a victory over a non-bottom feeder program ahead of a challenging schedule, including a Week 1 matchup against a fresh Miami Hurricanes unit that went to the national championship game last season.

For Hawai’i, it’s a chance to set the tone for a season filled with conference championship hopes and College Football Playoff dreams. Last year’s walk-off win against Stanford helped provide the vibe for a 9-4 campaign for the Rainbow Warriors, the best season for Chang by a wide margin and the highest win total since the Nick Rolovich era at UH.

But the Rainbow Warriors are aware that this year’s Stanford challenge presents bigger hurdles.

The Cardinal returned 60% of their snaps from last year and feature a large portion of 2025’s talented crop that went 4-2 at home. Back is the entirety of the offensive line, along with breakout candidate Micah Ford and a wide receiver room filled with unproven-but-uber-talented commodities.

That doesn’t even get into the defense for Stanford, which will now be led by a former NFL mind in Kris Richard. Back is LB Matt Rose, who had 13 tackles and a sack against the Rainbow Warriors in 2025’s season opener before going on to finish among the top tacklers in the entire ACC.

Alongside him comes ACC honorable-mention safety Jay Green and one of his running mates, Scotty Edwards. Add in a cornerback room that has more than a handful of guys with starting experience for the Cardinal and the pieces are there for a better performing defense compared to last year’s unit.

Hawai’i has the most important position figured out, charging into battle with sophomore QB Micah Alejado at the wheel. The 5-foot-10 southpaw signal caller took a beating against Stanford in 2025, suffering a lower-leg injury that nagged him through the rest of the season, but put up solid numbers with 210 passing yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions as he helped rally the Rainbow Warriors to a 23-20 win in the season opener.

He’ll likely be without his favorite target from a year ago in Pofele Ashlock, though the 6-foot-2 senior receiver continues his push to return from an injury that held him out of individual and team drills throughout camp. He also won’t have Jackson Harris, who transferred to LSU last offseason after enjoying an All-Mountain West 1st-team campaign with the Rainbow Warriors.

So, who is going to flip the script this year for Hawai’i? Which players can’t afford to disappear, and which will provide extra on the margins for an upset on “The Farm” on Saturday?

Here’s a few guesses on guys to watch for the Rainbow Warriors.

WR Kainoa “Kai Kai” Carvalho

Don’t be fooled by Carvalho’s frame. The former Kahuku Red Raider showed out throughout training camp as one of the most active targets for both Micah Alejado and QB2 Bjorn Jurgensen, hauling in multiple passes per drive on several occasions during team drills and scrimmages for the Rainbow Warriors.

Carvalho was a demon during his time on the high school gridiron, leading Kahuku to back-to-back Open Division state titles while earning MaxPreps’ Hawaii State Player of the Year honors as a junior while also receiving recognition from ScoringLive and the Star-Advertiser as the Offensive Player of the Year. The valedictorian of his graduating class, Carvalho shows off a high football IQ as well with a feel for finding space and the toughness to complete catches through contact in the middle of the field.

His speed is a separator as well, providing another option for Chang and company to use in multiple different phases of the game. Don’t be surprised if the redshirt freshman finds his way into the mix with a few chain-moving snags on Saturday that keep drives going for the Rainbow Warriors.

One of the returning faces from last year’s defensive front, McCoy provides positional flexibility for defensive coordinator Dennis Thurman and the Rainbow Warriors. At 6-foot-5, 285 pounds, the graduate defensive lineman can flex on the interior or edge in the trenches and wreak havoc in both spots.

In 2025, McCoy had 19 total quarterback pressures from the interior while playing in 12 of Hawai’i’s 13 games. He blocked a field goal against the Cardinal to begin his UH career and went on to reach weeks of being the highest-graded interior defensive lineman in the country by the middle of the year.

Stanford will have the physical advantage over Hawai’i in the trenches when the teams take the field on Saturday, but that doesn’t mean the Rainbow Warriors will absolutely get destroyed where the dirty work is done. If they want to stand a chance against slowing down the Stanford ground game though, it’ll be important that McCoy remains his steady self against the run.

 

RB Cam Barfield

Barfield enjoyed a nice outing against Stanford in 2025, taking six carries for 45 yards while adding a catch for 10 yards in the win by the Rainbow Warriors. He took on bigger and bigger roles as the season went on, turning into a weapon in the passing attack and return game for Chang’s squad.

Without Landon Sims, Barfield could see an even bigger role in the backfield in 2026. A quick-burst athlete with kick returning chops, Barfield provides opportunities at explosive plays each time he touches the ball in space.

Unlike his counterpart across the way in Stanford bell cow back Micah Ford, Barfield will probably have to share his touches with a few other UH backs on Saturday. That doesn’t mean he won’t have chances to break into the open and show why he was originally recruited by an ACC school out of high school himself.

If he can provide that burst of energy he did on several occasions in 2025 (and not the fair-catch blunder that started the Stanford game), it will put Hawai’i one step closer to an upset of a Power 4 school on the road.

Hawaiian Airlines becomes first official jersey patch sponsor for the University of Hawai’i

Hawaiian Airlines becomes first official jersey patch sponsor for the University of Hawai’i

Hawaiian Airlines becomes first official jersey patch sponsor for the University of Hawai’i

HONOLULU – History long in the making.

In a college sports world that continues to search for new streams of revenue, the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa tapped into a longtime friend of UH athletics on Tuesday afternoon as the school announced that Hawaiian Airlines would be the first-ever jersey patch sponsor for the Rainbow Warrior football team.

“We’ve been partners with Hawaiian Airlines for many years [and] they’ve taken care of our student-athletes in a way that goes beyond just a traditional partnership,” Athletics Director Matt Elliott said during the partnership reveal at Clarence T.C. Ching Complex on Tuesday. “Something new has happened in college sports with the advent of us being able to add jersey patches … There was no better partner for us to move forward with the very first jersey patch partnership here at the University of Hawai’i than Hawaiian Airlines.”

Less than a month into the year, the NCAA announced that Division I teams would be able to place up to two additional commercial patches of no more than 4 square inches on uniforms and apparel for preseason and regular-season games beginning on August 1, 2026. The decision was made to allow schools and conferences to “set standards that reflect their values and serve their unique needs” in the challenging, expensive world of college sports.

The announcement comes just days prior to Hawai’i’s 2026 season opener on the road against Stanford. The iconic Pualani logo of Hawaiian Airlines will make its official debut on national television on Saturday.

While the parties declined to share financial details of the agreement, it was revealed that Hawaiian Airlines would continue as the exclusive charter airline for the Rainbow Warrior football team during the 2026 season.

Hawai’i plays on the road on six separate occasions in 2026, trekking across the continental United States from California to Texas to Illinois and everywhere in between. Hawaiian Airlines will charter each leg for all six road trips for the Rainbow Warriors.

As part of the deal, Hawaiian Airlines also plans to engage with UH fans through game day activations, promotions and digital content with student-athletes.

“As everything we know, this is the first partnership between a college athletics department and an airline in the country,” Elliott shared. “This partnership was very important to us to be specific to football.”

Elliott reiterated that the jersey patch sponsorship with Hawaiian Airlines was unique to the football program at UH and that the school will have different sponsors or partnerships for the jersey patches of other sports.

“You’ve seen at other schools maybe one jersey patch for an entire department. We didn’t think that was right for us,” he said. “What we thought was right for us was to try to find the right partner for each team and match those up. So, that’s what we did and what we pursued.”

The current iteration of the sponsorship contract runs as a one-year deal, which Elliott said will be the case for all jersey patches for UH during the 2026-27 athletics season.

HONOLULU – Tally one in the win column.

The University of Hawai’i women’s soccer team put together a cohesive 90 minutes of action on Saturday afternoon, posting the team’s first shutout and first multi-goal match of the season in a 2-0 victory over the Idaho Vandals (2-1-1) to close out the 2026 OUTRIGGER Invitational.

The Rainbow Wahine (1-3) got goals from senior striker Anuhea Aluli and freshman forward Olivia Dianda, each finding the back of the net for the second time in the young season.

Junior goalkeeper Kennedy Justin was able to register her first clean sheet of the season, tallying six saves as she turned away all six of Idaho’s shots on frame.

Aluli, who spent the first four years of her college career at Oakland before transferring back home to Hawai’i for her final year of eligibility this past offseason, pocketed her second score of the year in the 24th minute off of a corner kick opportunity.

Freshman midfielder Jas Cayetano floated the corner kick to the back post and Laule’a Ah Mook Sang got a head on ball for a shot to start the madness. Ah Mook Sang’s header was deflected by a Vandals defender before being re-directed by Piper Bertani across the six-yard box and in front of Aluli, who calmly cashed in on the prime scoring chance.

Despite Idaho’s continuing offensive attack producing eight chances in the game’s opening 45 minutes, Justin and the Rainbow Wahine defense held firm to keep the 1-0 advantage safe heading into halftime for the hosts.

Hawai’i would add the insurance goal from Dianda in the 79th minute on an incredible left-footed strike from outside the 18-yard box that looked like a crossing pass until it continued to knuckle towards the back of the net, giving the Rainbow Wahine a two-goal advantage with about 10 minutes to play.

Idaho did not go quietly, firing off five more shots (two on frame) in the final minutes to try and stage a miraculous comeback but were staunchly denied by the UH defense once again.

“We closed it out, we did what we had to do with one day rest against a very, very good team,” Hawai’i head coach Michele Nagamine said in her postgame interview with K5. “Idaho is always competing for their conference championship, so I have a ton of respect for their coaching staff … We knew this was going to be a game and for us to come out and get the first win on our home field, sure does feel good. I’m really happy for the women.”

Hawai’i will be back in action on Saturday, August 29 at 4 p.m. as they play host to Hawaii Pacific University.
