Not a good game but a great comeback!

Unimpressed with any of the other teams in this tourney

Our bench should be able to beat all three teams


That said we looked average without Lednicky in the lineup and if no option in the middle based upon first contact

With her and middle attack option we looked really good

Our passing is much improved compared to last season

Yes! I am no volleyball expert but the more I see other teams, the more I realize our first touch and back row look so much better! At the end of Bird's era, our back row was almost non existent and last year we improved but still struggled to pass! It looks a lot smoother, bringing in Tatum Thomas and Ellie Stinson to go along with Ava Underwood really brought the competition to that room and made it better! Maddie Waak is better defensively than Margot Manning as well! I loved Caroline Meuth but she was a liability on serve receive! Our serve receive is better and first touch pass is better!

How are the new OHs doing? I thought they showed a lot of promise. Was hoping at least one could balance out the attack.

Watching Pitt vs Pepperdine. didn't know Nisi ended up at Pitt. She played during clean up time.

I think our OHs are fine for this year. Humphrey is a solid player, she steadies the court. She doesn't have the heaviest of arms but great ball control. Hellmeuth hits the shot out of the ball, just not a lot of finesse. She's high reward high error. But looks to be improving her consistency.

Nice. They don't need to be all-stars but having a stable rotation there will be a relief compared to recent years.

Weak sauce.
Let's circle back at the end of the season and determine whether this approach actually helped the team get out of the bottom half of the conference standings.
