Hawai'i defeated Fresno State in four games on Sept. 30, and rallied from a 2-1 deficit to defeat Nevada in five games Saturday.

"In all probability, we're not going to make major changes," said Shoji, who planned to decide on a lineup today. "The team is going well. But I just want everybody to understand everybody is up for evaluation every week. It's motivation. I told them no one can come out here complacent."

Tonight, the Rainbow Wahine (12-0, 2-0) put their 92-match WAC winning streak on the line against Boise State (14-3, 3-1) at the Stan Sheriff Center. On Sunday, Hawai'i hosts Texas-El Paso (6-8, 0-5) in a WAC match.

Last week at Fresno State, Hawai'i hit .244 in a Game 2 loss before defeating the Bulldogs in four games. At Nevada, the Rainbow Wahine hit .236, were outblocked 16.5 to 15, and could not contain freshman Teal Ericson who had a match-high 20 kills and hit .385.

"I wouldn't say it was subpar, it just wasn't as artistic as it should have been," Shoji said of the road wins.

Yesterday, Shoji said the libero position is up for evaluation as well as the left-side hitter and middle positions.

The current starters are left-side hitters Arnott and Susie Boogaard, setter Kanoe Kamana'o, middles Prince and Juliana Sanders, right-side hitter Tara Hittle and libero Ashley Watanabe.

Prince started the season as right-side hitter, and Shoji said that remains an option if the team gets more production out of Hittle on a possible move to left-side hitter. Hittle is the reigning national and WAC Player of the Week.

The left-side hitter in the Rainbow Wahine offense is usually the most reliable hitter and often gets the most hitting opportunities.

"That's certainly something we can go to," Shoji said of the Prince-Hittle moves. "I don't know if we're going to go to that this early, but we'll certainly work on it."

Shoji also said a "shakeup in the middle" is something the coaches might try. Shoji has Melody Eckmier, Kari Gregory, Prince and Sanders at middle.

In two matches last week, Prince played well, hitting .452 with 31 kills and 19 blocks. At Nevada, Prince broke the school rally-scoring record, putting up 13 blocks.

"We've been working on blocking so hard in practice," Prince said. "Kanoe, Susie and Alicia were posting the blocks so well for me to close. It was a real good blocking night."

Tonight, Hawai'i faces a Boise State team that is enjoying its best conference season since joining the WAC in 2001. The Broncos' three WAC wins have already eclipsed their three-year total of WAC wins from 2001-2003.

The Broncos are led by sophomore middle blocker Cameron Flunder, who averages 3.95 kills per game, 0.98 blocks per game and hits .351.

"Boise has been playing very well," Shoji said. "They have a great record. We'll treat them with respect and expect a tough game."

On Sunday, Hawai'i will meet UTEP. The Miners were swept at San Jose State in a WAC match last night.

Junior outside hitter Kari Stacy led UTEP with 4.43 kills per game and 2.81 digs per game entering last night's match.

"UTEP is struggling, so I'm not sure what to expect from them," Shoji said. "But teams seem to play their best against us at the Stanley so we expect no different."
