Born in Utah in the mid-1990s — long after the glory years faded — Siera Green can be forgiven for flunking a quiz on Vulcans volleyball history when she first arrived at UH-Hilo.
Sharon who? NAIA what?
“I knew nothing about it,” she said.
Sure, Green glanced at the banners and the mural at UH-Hilo gym, but that doesn’t mean she went out of her way to study them.
That changed a bit last season when the Vulcans made an increased effort at providing a history lesson, and those efforts will be ramped up this alumni weekend under first-year coach Gene Krieger, who has vowed to reconnect the program’s historic past with the present ever since being hired in March.
