I'd imagine every available player will play this weekend. Unless they were going to redshirt. thus "available"

I wonder why we haven't seen the freshmen video interviews yet. Some of them were pretty good. Lacey Fuller's was probably the best.

Match Preview: Penn State vs. Buffalo (#GetJamesToTheGames)We've posted a Match Preview -- Penn State vs. Buffalo (#GetJamesToTheGames) but as the hashtag suggests, a key part of that post is to encourage Penn State Head Football Coach James Franklin (and, ideally, 2,000 of his closest friends) to come to the opening night match or the Saturday night match. Here's one tweet from @wedignittany: /photo/1 and a second one: /photo/1

It'd be pretty cool if the entire football team came along with Franklin...

Wow, Russ seems disappointed with the setter position. I guess that was bound to be a problem but I'm puzzled by Weiskircher not stepping up to be the announced starter. I can't wait to see match with Buffalo. That isn't how I read it. Rivera is reputed to be a big time player. Has international experience. You would HOPE she can compete for the starting job. It means that Penn State has two setters who are ready to play and presumably offer different styles and different strengths. You can make that a glass half empty or half full I suppose. Yeah maybe after a year in the program Bryanna should have it locked down, but being in the program is not the same thing at all as getting Big Ten experience, which she didn't get last year. It's certainly fair to assume that the setter position will not resemble Micha Hancock. But let's keep in mind, Micha Hancock as a freshman hardly resembled Micha Hancock as a senior. Whoever wins the job -- it's the start of a long hard journey to be the best setter they can be, at a place that expects the very best of every position. The setter (or setters) we see early in the season will not look anything like a finished product. And we shouldn't necessarily read that a negative. It will be negative if they aren't a lot better by the end of the season -- but there's little risk of that I think. I do think it's very helpful that PSU's top hitters are all great athletes who can make good decisions and convert sub-optimal sets. Because the setting is going to take time and the passing may take time as well.

It's a battle. Maybe we will see both set a 5-1, involved in a 6-2 and maybe even Krause setting a little from the backrow. The season is long and practice can only simulate only so much. Plus, what's the urgency to show all of our cards in the first week. I don't doubt that Krause will play, however, I doubt that she will set at all this weekend. I don't think Russ would consider this an option when he is in the midst of figuring out a choice between two setters already.
