2023 Cyclone Volleyball

[Ms3r4ISU]

Some “different” stuff happening tonight. Timeout us after some stretching and talking, then we switched liberos and UCF talked to the officials, just weird. We’re up 13-10.

Now we’re moving in the right direction 22-13.

UCFs got some big arms, but it doesn’t seem like they’re giving it 100. I can’t explain it. Perhaps because of that first set score, but bizzare effort so far

It’s strange overall tonight.

I’ve lost count of the challenge numbers so far. Gotta be getting close to 10 and we’re in the second set.

Pam!!

Good fight in the 2nd. 80 mins later and we’re still in set 2.

Just what we were saying. Not what I expected tonight, but ok as long as we win I guess.

Unbelievable missed net call in our favor at the end

I was actually sitting down the last serve because I expected a challenge.

2 hours for a sweep. Insanity. Great W!

I was actually sitting down the last serve because I expected a challenge.

I told my wife and daughter to sit down. I think she tried to challenge based on the conversation she was having but maybe she couldn’t?

You look at the final stats for this UCF match and you wonder how in the hell ISU won. I was able to watch the last 1.5 sets so I didn't catch why Stonestreet departed in the first set. Gonzalez and Englebrecht both had negative attack %s with CJL subbing in McCune and Hatch.

If they can beat Cincy on Saturday (and they should), I am thinking they avoid being placed at Lincoln or Madison on Selection Sunday this weekend.

I didn't catch why Stonestreet departed in the first set.

She stretched a muscle when going for a dig. Kind of did the splits. Hopefully not a pull.

The young woman who replaced her (sorry, can't remember her name) represented herself very well I thought.
