Teine Samoa Moni had a stacked team, featuring a pair of popular All-Americans in Tanya Fuamatu-Anderson and Kanani Danielson, at the 60th annual Haili Volleyball Tournament where time stood still on Saturday.
It seemed like old times for Fuamatu-Anderson, a three-time All-American at UH-Hilo from 1992-95, and Danielson, a four-time All-American at UH-Manoa from 2008-11. Another teammate was setter Nia Tuitele, another All-American, who guided Hawaii Pacific to national titles in 1998 and 2000.
Teine Samoa Moni also had Edna (Togiai) Walker, an All-American and UHH Hall of Famer like Fuamatu-Anderson. Walker still holds the single-season record for kills (517) and digs (557) during her UHH days from 1986-90.
