Advertiser Staff

Outside hitter Alicia Arnott, a starter for the University of Hawai'i women's volleyball team in 2004, will not play for the Rainbow Wahine this year, the athletic department announced yesterday.

Arnott, who would have been a fifth-year senior in 2007, redshirted in 2006 to preserve eligibility with hopes of playing a larger role on the team in 2007.

A release said "she has decided not to use her final year of eligibility, which would have been the 2007 season."

Meanwhile, the 'Bows will host the Arizona Wildcats for a spring exhibition match on Thursday at 7 p.m.
