[b Don’t know..Don’t believe she’s picked a partner yet... How do you know she’s playing? Told a friend in Manhatten Beach last week that she was playing & that she needed to find a new partner.

Wish there was a Klineman type defender for her. I wonder if she can protect her shoulder by playing ten events or so with big breaks in between. Suddenly the US women are very interesting again!

If this is true about Kerri and Nicole breaking up, can't help but wonder when this happened and if it has anything to do with Aprils success, making Kerri want to find a young partner too.
To be honest, I never bought into the Kerri Nicole team being able to make it very far, but the match where Kerri hurt her shoulder again was very impressive.

I agree Goudy...That match against Sarah & Melissa was going all in favor of Kerri & Nicole in my opinion...They were actually starting to gel and get it together. I really think there is a goldmine defender out there for Kerri...She Just has to find her...FAST!!! Nicole & Kerri could not match up with April & Alix anyway...at least I don’t think so..

Her and Nicole were tough.Nicole also very good on Netlive.Interesting year so far.Ricardo's partner in Florida?

Is Kerri playing again from her shoulder surgery?
I dont dont Kerri can play at a high level when she comes back as long as shes healthy.
I do doubt that she will find a capable partner that can get her to that high level.

Yes...There definitely seems to be a shortage of top defenders for KW to even choose from...April & Sarah are not options... After that, unless someone comes out from indoor or leaves college early, I don’t see one either......I can’t believe the season is starting with KW partner less again...WTH?? Maybe she’s not in a rush so she’s not too worried about it yet....

That match was an epic to be sure but also a little deceiving. MHP and Pavan were clearly off their game after the first when bounce after bounce went against them. Very close match and I think, absent the injury, KW/NB probably win, but there was no doubt who the better team was. Kerri is still great but she can't carry players the way she once could

What an awesome tournament - wish we could have been there - I have heard the Hague is a pretty cool place to visit! After watching Klineman work so hard the past few years to improve, it is way cool to see her latch on to April - who the heck do you serve? She is a surprisingly good passer for a big, and she hits from such a high spot - can't wait to see how they do against a really full field this year! Just booked Lauderdale - that has become our favorite tournament over the past few years (no offenses AVP), if only because it is 5 days and it is nice to get out of the cold in February! By the way, seems like a lot of folks are writing off Claes/Hughes pretty quickly, and I hope they are wrong about that, because it would be cool to have two primo US teams capable of winning any given tournament, no?

Best thing about the split is that I don't ever have to hear "the mommies" reference again!

By the way, Alix is no longer playing in the 1* event in Australia in early Feb.

How do you know she’s playing? Told a friend in Manhatten Beach last week that she was playing & that she needed to find a new partner. Given that she was semi-retired at this time last year and only came back because Kerri called, what's the point of Nicole playing FIVB now? Can't see her making a run at Tokyo without Kerri. Maybe she could convince Lauren or EmDay to play with her but even that seems like a long shot.
