A big congratulations to Coach Liz on her recent induction into Western Washington Univeristy's (WWU) Sports Hall of Fame! Coach Liz was honored this past weekend at halftime of the WWU women's basketball game. Below is an excerpt from the WWU website on Coach Liz's many accomplishments while at Western:

"Bishop-Quitquit, who finished second among school and Great Northwest Athletic Conference career leaders in assists with 4,176 (12.47 average), was a first-team American Volleyball Coaches Association All-American in 2002 and a second-team pick in 2003. She also was a second-team Daktronics All-American in 2002.

Named WWU's 2002-03 Female Athlete of the Year, Bishop-Quitiquit was a two-time GNAC Player of the Year and was twice named both a first-team AVCA and Daktronics West Region all-star. She earned first-team GNAC all-star honors three times.

Bishop-Quitiquit shined academically as well, being named WWU's Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year, College Sports Information Directors of America Academic District 8 all-star and GNAC academic all-star three times each.

The conference leader in assists as a starter from 2001 to 2003, Bishop-Quitiquit helped the Vikings to GNAC titles, all with perfect 18-0 records; and NCAA Division II West Regional appearances all three years. At the time, WWU's 54-match league winning streak was the fourth longest in NCAA II history.

A four-year letter winner, Bishop-Quitiquit was a redshirt at Idaho in 1999 before transferring to WWU. She was a three-time, first-team Seamount League all-star at Mount Rainier High School.

A 2004 graduate of Western, Bishop-Quitiquit taught and was the head volleyball coach for two years at Nooksack Valley High School. She then went to Kentridge High School, completing her fifth season directing that program this fall after one year as freshman coach. Bishop-Quitiquit, who also has been a Club Wahine coach for the last seven years, taught at Kentridge for five years and now runs her own photography business.

Bishop-Quitiquit and husband Greg have two children, Maya 5 and Marcus 3."

Congratulations to our U16 Black team for taking 1st Place this past weekend at the OPVBC Tournament in Bremerton! It was a great day for all three of our teams competing, with our U15 Black team taking a tough but hard fought loss in the Silver Championship Match and our U16 Green team also competing well! Go Wahine!

A huge congratulations to the below current Club Wahine players who represented their schools very well this season!  These girls worked tremendously hard for their team and their All-Conference Selections are well deserved!  Go Wahine!
