Hawaii women’s volleyball coach Robyn Ah Mow has received a two-year extension to remain with her alma mater through the 2027 season, UH announced on Thursday afternoon.

Ah Mow, who helped guide the Rainbow Wahine to their 31^st straight NCAA Tournament appearance in 2024, was entering the final year of her contract in 2025.

New UH President Wendy Hensel has said she hopes to hire a permanent athletic director by the end of the summer, a timeline that keeps interim AD Lois Manin in position to make some key personnel decisions through the remainder of the 2024-25 athletic year. Ah Mow is the second UH coach to be extended by Manin; football coach Timmy Chang received a one-year rollover of his contract in December. 

Ah Mow, the former UH and U.S. Olympic setter, is a three-time Big West Coach of the Year. The McKinley High alumna has a 153-55 (.736) record through seven seasons leading the proud Manoa program. The Wahine have won a Big West regular-season or tournament title in the last five seasons.

"Coaching at Hawaii, my alma mater, has always been a dream," Ah Mow said in a UH release. "The program has given so much to me and to be able to coach here is a privilege. I am thankful to the leadership for trusting me in this role and will continue to build a championship culture that everyone can be proud of."
