That morning it didn’t looked like the swell was going to form and also looked like the winds were going to stay stiff. Many called it a day right then and left to enjoy a few more hours of shut-eye.

By Magdiel Vilchez Ka Leo Staff Reporter

Some athletes have sport in their blood. With her volleyball gene tracing back three genera- tions, Rainbow Wahine outside hitter Aneli Cubi-Otineru has it down to the last blood cell. “I grew up in the gym,” Cubi-Otineru said. “I have four sisters who all play. I remem- ber begging to get in the games at family gatherings when I was little.” Cubi-Otineru, from Hale‘iwa, O‘ahu, has a fam- ily tree that includes her father, Joseph, a club coach for Quick Sets, and older sister Babes Kalulu, a former Rainbow Wahine setter. After graduat- ing from Punahou School in 2005 with 2003 state player of the year honors and state and league championships in 2003 and 2004, Cubi-Otineru joined Kalulu, who is the assistant coach of the College of Southern Idaho volleyball team, to play for the Golden Eagles. “(Cubi-Otineru) knows the game so well,” Kalulu said. “She wants to win and will do anything to get it.” In 2005, Cubi-Otineru led the Golden Eagles to an NJCAA national champion- ship and earned NJCAA and AVCA All-America honors. She redshirted the 2006 season in which the Golden Eagles were ineligible for postseason play due to seven violations of Jordan Murph • Ka Leo O Hawai‘i NJCAA eligibility rules. Rainbow Wahine volleyball player Aneli Cubi-Otineru comes from a family centered around volleyball. “It was hard, but it was just something that happened,” Cubi- Otineru said. “I didn’t dwell on home, but she was also given on and off the court,” said fresh- it and other doors were opened another opportunity to honor man setter Dani Mafua. “We’re to me.” her mother and grandfather. really close as friends and team- One of those opportuni- Cubi is her mother’s maiden It’s like I’ve made the mates.
