Until yesterday, Hu had been limited to a role as a serving specialist. She is, iirc, a true freshman. Hambly may well be bringing her along slowly. Her play against Cal was eye-opening and pretty impressive.
I was at the match. Fairly early on in Set 2, after a break in play - either a challenge or an early timeout by Cal, Harvey came over and talked to Hambly, then they talked to the down ref, then the trainer. It was all on the other end of the court from where I was sitting, so it wasn’t entirely clear what the problem was. Then Harvey was substituted out, Yu came in, and Harvey and the trainer left the floor. From what I could see of the discussions, it looked like it might have been a blood on the uniform — knee pad, perhaps — but the strange thing was that Harvey did not return to the floor until the set was almost over. That seemed like an awfully long time for a uniform issue. When she did return, however, there was no evidence of any continuing problem or injury. Before Set 3, Harvey had conversations with several other team members and it looked like she was explaining something, although it wasn’t entirely clear what it was.
Bottom line: it wasn’t an intentional sub on Hambly’s part , but an unexpected problem that took Harvey out of commission for several minutes. Doesn’t appear to be a continuing concern, however.
