a C-4 Honolulu St. -Bulletin Tuesday, November 18, 1975 Troy Women's Volleyballan Isle Look LOS ANGELES It is not unusual for Southern California to become a second home for many young people of Hawaii who choose to come to the Mainland for a college education. The warm pleasant climate and endless beaches of California are just enough like Hawaii to make living away from home bearable while pursuing a college education. However, a quick look at the biographical roster of USC women's volleyball team tends make you wonder perhaps Punahou School Honolulu, Hawaii, hade cornered the market producing volleyball players for the Trojan women. FOUR MEMBERS OF THE USC team Julie Morgan, Evie Black, Leslie Long, and Lindy Vivas are from Oahu.

But more than healthy, sun-blonde, Hawaiian image that they have given the USC team is the look of success which has come to the team along with the athletes. Morgan has emerged as possibly the greatest hitter and best all-around player to ever perform for Troy, while Black plays a starring role as a fine, accurate setter who often determines the tempo and subsequent outcome of a game. Long and Vivas are both defensive specialists. They seem to have an almost sixth sense which allows them to arrive even quicker than the ball to most spots on the court. Their reactions are the kind which are developed naturally in athletes who have played the game of volleyball on sand, concrete and court since they were youngsters.

HAWAII KNOWS THE GAME of volleyball and is surpassed only by California in its potential for national dominance as indicated by the University of Hawaii's second place finish to UCLA at the intercollegiate nationals last year. But why would anyone leave a paradise like Hawaii to come to USC? Said Evie, who was the first of the four to enter USC and is in her third year with the team: "I wanted to go away to school and my high school counselors encouraged me to come to USC because of its academic reputation. I never dreamed then I would someday be playing volleyball for USC along with three of my hometown The situation was a bit different, though, the other three primarily because this is the first year for all of them to attend USC. "I came to visit USC and was so impressed with their interest and the way they made me feel at home that I decided I belonged here," said Julie. HER ENTHUSIASM WAS SO strong that Lindy, who was Morgan's partner in doubles play on the beaches of Hawaii, decided that she also belonged at USC.

Together they captured the Hawaiian doubles championship this past summer. Leslie, however, did not experience the same kind of influence. "I came to USC because it is a good school and volleyball really had nothing to do with it," she said. All agreed, though, that their decisions were right and knowing each other has definitely reinforced that positive feeling. "It is such a good feeling to have people from home playing with me here at said Evie, "because they understand when I get homesick for Recently, in the UCLA National Invitational Volleyball Tournament, USC had the opportunity to play the University of Hawaii.

Both games of the two game match were won by Hawaii but the closeness of the match (one game went into extra points) seemed only fitting as USC's Hawaiians were playing against some past teammates in the confrontation of friends. Hawaii was eliminated in the semifinals by eventual winner, UCLA. USC finished fifth in the 24-team tournament after being defeated by Long Beach State the quarte Long Beach went on to place second. USC is on its way to becoming a a powerhouse in women's volleyball and Coach Bobby Perry will probably see to it that Trojan arms remain open to the talent of the Islands. But, then, Perry is a Hawaiian, too.
