Wow.. What a great day of volleyball in new Orleans. All the games were exciting. Iam very surprised that TStreet beat TAV 15-5 in the third. TAV just looked gassed after game 2 and Tstreet just put a blocking clinic in the third. Laguna vs Front Range was such a high quality match, but it was too much Lindsey Ruddins. This girl is a beast. I was hoping she would have went to a BIG or pac school. CVC is very a very interesting team, no spectacular players but just really steady. The finals should be interesting. CAN CVC avoid Tstreet's big block ??

I think that if Alyse Ford was still playing for Laguna Beach, they could have beaten CVC and played Tstreet in the finals. That would have been a great match.

Tstreet lost the first set of every gold bracket match but won it all. Nice job even though they were thought to be not as good as last year. Good job Hayley for MVP!

Why was Oleksak setting Lanier so low the entire match? Not sure. More importantly, why was she setting Spann (OH2) at all? Lanier on the backrow, MB, OPP were all better options, IMO. Oleksak had a solid rotation option in Stivrins up 14-13 in the third and did got go to her, despite getting decent passes. instead she chose to go outside over the next couple of points to Spann, despite Spann's struggle to put a ball away then. Stivrins was Storms most reliable option to that point in the match imo. Oleksak did play amazing defense. CSU is getting a very solid setter.

btw, does anyone think it's silly that they play all three rounds of the playoffs back to back?

Kinda surprised that Dyer was named to the team over White

So Dyer's selection has nothing to do with TAV's choices. But you might wonder why those two TAV kids would make it over White. And the answer is...ask their coach...he probably nominated it that way.

That's been that team's only Achilles heal over the past two seasons. The rotation when Spann is up with Oleksak is their key. When they side out in that one, they don't lose. Rarely drop a set or get challenged. BUT every time I've seen them drop a set or even a match, it's cause they did that same thing. In that rotation, they keep chucking balls up to Spann and hope she can get them out. In my humble opinion, it's their only weakness...and it seems like it cost them another national title.

btw, does anyone think it's silly that they play all three rounds of the playoffs back to back? They played every other match... 8am, 10am and 12pm. However, with courts running behind the 10am matches started at like 10:40 so it was a pretty quick turnaround between the semifinals and finals (the championship court had breaks built in so that one wasn't running too far behind).

Those who were there, How did Iosia play? I see she made all tournament team, was she running a 5-1 or a 6-2 with Muno?
