What you see in Set 1 against Albany on Friday night likely won’t be what you get from the Hawaii women’s volleyball team in Set 2. Or even Set 3.

The depth of talent and keen competition at several positions has Rainbow Wahine coach Dave Shoji still pondering his starting lineup.

The two morning practices since Saturday’s scrimmage did little to solidify the team that will be on the Stan Sheriff Center court Friday in the second match of the Chevron Rainbow Wahine Invitational. And with the change of today’s practice time to the afternoon another change could come.

“By the end of (today’s) practice, we’ll have a lineup that we’ll play in the first game on the first night,” Shoji said. “That could easily change in the second game of the first night.”

Junior Emily Hartong and sophomore Jane Croson continue to be easy starting choices at left-side hitter. The right-side hitters — junior Kaela Goodman, junior transfer Ashley Kastl and true freshman Tai Manu-Olevao — are making it tougher for Shoji to decide.

“They can be good, but they’re not good all the time,” he said. “Kaela is a safe hitter, Ashley has the heat, Tai makes too many errors right now, but she has a lot of pop. She’s definitely pushing the other two.”

And then there is the battle in the middle, where four are fighting it out for two spots: junior Kristiana Tuaniga, sophomore Kalei Adolpho, sophomore transfer Stephanie Hagins and redshirt freshman Jade Vorster.

Adolpho looks to have the edge at one spot, but “right now I couldn’t pick between the other three,” Shoji said.

The competition has made everyone better, said Adolpho, who also played basketball for the Wahine last season.

“Every day you have to come out and do well because there’s so much competition,” she said. “It pushes you beyond what you think you can handle.

“I played a lot of basketball this season and that’s carrying over. I think my endurance and movement are better. I’m excited for Friday.”

So is Vorster, who hasn’t played in an official match since November 2010 as a high school senior.

“Gosh, it’s been a long time,” Vorster said. “I’m really excited to go out and do the things I’ve been working on every practice.

“Nothing is set in stone in terms of the lineup and that’s a positive. We get along really well and everyone is pretty humble.”

It’s still a work in progress, associate coach Scott Wong said.

“We have a lot of things to work on, but I like this team,” he said. “We’re young in a lot of ways. We lost two All-Americans (first-teamer Kanani Danielson and Brittany Hewitt, honorable mention) and Chanteal (Satele), who played a big role for us.

“We have a lot of depth and things can change throughout the year. It’s a long season and it’s nice to have players you can interchange.”

The puzzle will come together Friday — at least for the opening 20 minutes or so.
