Makena Tong has big-screen moment for UC Riverside in loss to Hawaii volleyball . . . It was an all-around memorable night for the sophomore from Honolulu – even in a 25-19, 25-18, 25-11 sweep loss to the Wahine. She was cheered by the crowd of 4,560 (5,903 tickets issued) upon her introduction as a setter in the starting lineup.
“It was crazy. I mean, I tell my teammates every single year, this is a big thing for me,” Tong told Spectrum News. “Because as a little girl, I would be sitting in the stands watching the Wahine. So, you know, this is a big thing for me to play on the court, and represent my home from a different school. And you know, it’s just the atmosphere here. It’s so it’s so nice. It’s just it’s so welcoming. And I love it.”
