Hope he keeps her there for a few matches. Like what she brings. Holcomb is a better passer, but Pierce is better at digging, bringing the energy, and directing the back court. Is Holcombe a better passer? If so, it's not going to be pretty in the postseason. From what I've seen, Holcombe's passing has looked shaky out there.

Was it senior night or a permanent change in the line up? Senior night has NEVER been a moment to change things up for Russ. Kendall is not a Senior, in case you were thinking that's why Russ had her playing the whole game at libero.

There is no doubt that the team plays much better with Kendall Pierce at libero. The next 4 matches will define the character of this year's team. Whether a team performs or not is not always a character issue. Talent, experience, and many other things can impact wins and losses. I might suggest that the next four matches may be more of a test for fans. I would be surprised if the team does not give great effort regardless of the outcome.

Rose's recent comments about a player(s) being "gassed" may have applied to Holcombe. A lot of stress to deal with for a freshman.
Frantti is the one that always looks gassed to me.

Only as of late and that's probably due to "fatigue," according to coach. If you watch the earlier games, she was excellent in passing, but needed to improve her digging skills and communication.

Frantti is the one that always looks gassed to me. She could be as well. She was asked to play 6 rotations this year. This could have affected her play or it could be a sophomore slump. Really she's just not as consistent this year; she's had some poor matches and she carried her team in a few.

Why did no Penn State fans create a match thread for Maryland? They swept and pretty easily. huh? Of course they did.

Really she's just not as consistent this year; she's had some poor matches and she carried her team in a few. As far as Ali, clearly something was different. She played all the way around for the whole match, except for a couple service subs, and played extremely well. Her passes were good contacts against a very aggressive serving team and her defense was solid with 7 digs. In addition, she may have had her most dominant front line matches of the season hitting .500 with zero errors and 4 blocks. She was impressive.

Not sure Coach was referring to Holcomb with the "gassed" comment. Passing has been an issue all year, even as early as the Villanova match. Kendall passed regularly throughout last year's tourney run and was particularly stellar in the Stanford match.
