***2023 NCAA Volleyball Tournament Thread***

I did notice in Set 2, we went on a run with Gonzales swinging RS and Hatch hitting OH. Had success but no adjustment other than that.

We need a solid DS. Paula played better last night than normal but she struggles frequently. Hoping the portal is kind and we pick up a solid DS.

You reference Annie Hatch and Paula, who weren’t really regulars during the season. I think our NCAA appearance was significantly hampered by the injuries to Lilly Wacholz and Brooke Stonestreet. By and large, our team is young and should be better for the experience.

Question - Is Brooke Stonestreet related to the Modern Family Actor Eric (Cam)? They’re both from Kansas City.

This UW Oregon match has had insane plays. Badgers are so ******* good.

 

[cowgirl836]

Oregon setter is fantastic and fast but could use a trio of 6'4, 6'7, 6'9 hitters.

 

[cowgirl836]

But running a 6 2 means UW is out of subs, middle just hit into the net on serve.

 

[cowgirl836]

Going to a 4th and I gotta finally put my kids to bed . Very late naps after a day out is burning me now when I want to waaatchhhh
