Will anybody be able to live update this, like someone listening online or in purdue country on the radio, so I don't have to rely on game tracker?

After a close call last night, I'm starting to think this could be a bad day for USC. At the same time, it could have given them the reality check they needed to take it to Purdue. I'd like to see what happens here.

Wow.
If OSU's LiveStats is right, yesterday's near collapse must've woken up the sleeping giants, USC. USC won Game 1, 30-17 and is leading Game 2, 21-10.

Purdue played a fully awake giant today. USC wins match 30-17, 30-19, 30-18.
SC's Kaczor with 16 kills @ .471; everybody else hit around that % or better.

Looks like OSU did USC a favor in waking them up. Looks like Purdue got the best USC had to offer today and couldn't quite handle it. Looks like the Trojans belong with the nation's elite.

Nah, they belong in the top 15 this year, but not with the "elite". Going by results so far, if USC is "elite" then the term has no meaning and we might as well call it "double plus goodthink". |

Trojans Improve To 10-0 With 3-0 Sweep Of Purdue
No. 4 USC hits .411 in the match against the Boilermakers.
COLUMBUS, Ohio - Senior All-America outside hitter Asia Kaczor (Wroclaw, Poland/College of Southern Idaho) led with 16 kills without recording an error Saturday as the No. 4 USC Women of Troy swept the Purdue Boilermakers, 3-0 (30-17, 30-19, 30-18), at the 2007 Sports Imports Classic. Kaczor hit .471 in the match (16-0-34) as USC improved to 10-0 overall.
The Trojans hit .411 in the match, including a robust .526 (21-1-38) in game one. Senior outside hitter Diane Copenhagen (Saratoga/St. Francis HS) had 11 kills, 14 digs and a .455 hitting performance (11-1-22) while freshman Kimmee Roleder (Pasadena/Pasadena HS) had 13 kills and 10 digs. Freshman middle blocker Zoe Garrett (Laguna Beach/Laguna Beach HS) hit .500 in the match (8-1-14) while freshman libero Geena Urango (Los Alamitos/Los Alamitos HS) had 21 digs and tied a personal-best this season with four service aces.
Stephanie Lynch led the Boilermakers (7-4) with 12 kills and a .435 hitting clip, but USC held Purdue to a .115 afternoon.
USC dominated early in all three games, starting the match with an 11-4 run. At 18-12, the Trojans reeled an 8-1 run as Kaczor finished the run with two kills. It was more of the same in game two as USC pulled away from a 9-4 margin with eight straight for the commanding 17-4 advantage. Three of Urango's aces came during the run. The Trojans opened with a 15-6 streak in game three and cruised to the sweep.
The Women of Troy begin Pac-10 Conference play next weekend with home matches against Arizona State on Thursday (Sept. 20) and Arizona on Friday (Sept. 21). Both matches start at 7 p.m. and will be broadcast live on usctrojans.com, courtesy of TrojanTV All-Access.

From the stats, I've been encouraged by the play of the freshmen Roleder, Garrett and Urango.

I agree with you.....I want to see some Pac-10 play before I put them in the top 5-6 realm in the rankings. |
