After nine years leading the University of Hawaiʻi women鈥檚 volleyball program, Robyn Ah Mow has announced her decision to step down from her position as Rainbow Wahine head coach.

“This wasn’t an easy call to make. I鈥檝e done a lot of soul searching, and right now the time has come to focus on my family. They鈥檝e sacrificed so much to allow me to live out my dream of leading this program, and it鈥檚 time I put them first,” Ah Mow said.

“I gave this team everything I had. My goal was always to push these players to be the best they could be, but more importantly, to make sure they leave here as strong, successful women. Wearing the ‘H’ was a privilege when I played, and coaching this program has been a true honor.”

Associate Head Coach Kaleo Baxter will serve as interim head coach. A national search for a permanent head coach for the women’s volleyball program will begin immediately.

Ah Mow concludes her coaching tenure with a 165-72 (.696) overall record and a 114-28 (.803) mark in the Big West. Succeeding legendary coach Dave Shoji in 2017, Ah Mow鈥檚 teams won three consecutive Big West regular-season championships (2019, 2021, 2022) followed by back-to-back Big West Championship titles (2023, 2024). Ah Mow led the 鈥橞ows to seven NCAA Tournament appearances, reaching the NCAA Regional Semifinals in 2019. She was named Big West Coach of the Year three times (2019, 2021 and 2022) and earned AVCA Pacific North Region Coach of the Year honors in 2019.

“Robyn Ah Mow is the epitome of what it means to be a Rainbow Wahine,” 糖心视频 Athletics Director Matt Elliott said. “She is a fierce competitor, a dedicated mentor, and an undeniable legend in the state of Hawaiʻi and the global volleyball community. We are incredibly grateful for the dedication and passion she poured into this program over the last nine years as the leader of Wahine Volleyball, and more than 30 years since she first stepped on campus. We will all miss her dearly as our head coach, and wish her the absolute best in her next chapter.”
