The HPU Sports Beat has found a new home on the radio dial. The show, formerly found on KUMU 1500 AM, can now be heard live every Tuesday at 9 a.m. on Sports Radio 1420 AM with host Chris Hart.

On last week’s inaugural broadcast, guests on the show included Head Volleyball Coach Tita Ahuna, senior volleyball player Vera Olivera, and HPU’s new Athletic Director Jill Ward.

Much of the show was devoted to the HPU women’s volleyball team, which as of Oct. 13 had a 15-1 record and a No. 4 ranking in the AVCA National Poll. Other topics included changes in the school’s various athletic programs and the diversity of student athletes and their HPU experiences.

Olivera, the 2004 PacWest Conference player of the year, talked about how she had to overcome the language barrier when she came to Hawai‘i and about how she prepares for a match and sticks to a healthy diet in order to perform at the highest level.
