They also beat Creighton 3-1 very recently. I'm excited for this outcome but I don't think anyone could have expected this with what we were missing

Coach Morrison and his staff's player development philosophy is key to this team's success. It includes training all players to be ready when called on to contribute. This leads to player confidence and teamwork when playing matches.

and one of the greatest things I love about this staff is they have shown each season that the team will continue to improve and only get stronger as the season progresses. We see many teams hit lulls or fade towards the end of November and the Ags are rolling! Our best volleyball is yet to come!

Personally I love that all 13 coaches and staff members take the time to saw 'em off together after a win. (Ok Jamie is usually in the stands with the Rowdies)

Even Eliza Sharp in her boot walked up a couple rows to saw them off

Good post-game interview to watch. Several girls we don't hear much from. It shows what kind of character Jamie brings to the team.

And here's the team messing with Lufe in her post game interview lol

This staff wants to build something special here and they understand how to do that. Our students love Jamie because he includes them and doesn't act like they owe him something. Every match you hear them chanting his name. It is awesome to watch.

Morris backrow play was a very pleasant surprise. Not just the attacks, but defense. I didn't know she had that in her game at that level. She was mainly hitting bics but had a couple D sets (a la Lednicky) which is a great to see as a potential option in the 5-1 when needed. If nothing else, putting that on film will make other teams have to prepare for it. Pick your poison.

Morris from the back row was ELITE! She was hitting nukes so effortlessly. It's funny because I don't always think she has a super powerful swing as a right side though she has been very effective, but watching her fly from behind the 3 meter line and just smashing the volleyball from the back row just really surprised me. She played great defense last night as well but with a healthy roster I don't see her getting a lot of time in the backrow. We will see though because that back row attack is something we haven't done a ton of this year.

That was as good of a libero performance last night as I've seen in a long damn time. Understanding it was Rice and balls aren't coming quite as fast and as precise as they will in SEC play, but if Gabi can do that in conference then she's our next All American. She put on a clinic.

And Kirra and Ring need to figure out how to get on the same page at some point here quickly. Early in the season, Kirra was low setting everyone on the outside and hitters were having trouble with their timing. She started putting some more air under the ball with Kendyl, Fitch, Morris, etc and the offense dramatically improved...everyone except for Ring which she's still low/flat setting. Which tells me it's a Ring preference...and not a coach's or strategic directive. Whatever it is, they need to figure it out or Ring will continue to be ineffective and frustrated and we need Ring at her best to finish top 4-5 in conference.
