The Hawaii women’s volleyball team is ranked No. 20 in the AVCA Coaches Division I Preseason Top 25 today, the lowest ranking for a Rainbow Wahine team since 1993.

Hawaii has been ranked in the preseason poll every year since the inception in 1982. In 1993, the Wahine were at No. 22 following a 15-12 season where they missed the postseason tournament for the only time.

This marks just the second time Hawaii was ranked 20th or lower. The Wahine, the preseason pick to win the Big West Conference, finished ranked at No. 17 last year.

Texas (25 first-place votes) is ranked No. 1, followed by defending national champion Stanford (35 votes), Washington (2) and Minnesota (2).
