I was very impressed with Summer this weekend. She was throwing block after block in the finals. Her setting is really good too. She also looks in the best condition I have seen her in.

They were on fire yesterday. Also Nicole not awake for half the match helped. And fiery Sara probably got into Kelly and Brit in the semis.

Hughes and Ross looked great this weekend, no doubt about it. However, I don’t know if it’s the pressure of the new partnership, but their emotions and celebrations look so forced to me. I’m just still not 100% sold on this team.

I’m still bummed that ATeam wasn’t able to win against Team Bran Bran... I would’ve loved to watch April and Alix win live. I went three days to see them play but it just didn’t happen...

Also because Summer and Sara have been said to “do well” and Dain even said they’ll win 3 International events this year. But... they have yet to make a semifinal.
Em Day and Brit were successful on the AVP last year, yet they did terribly on the FIVB. So until 2S gets a medal on the international circuit, I’m not hooked on them yet.

Normally serving April Ross is a bad idea, but Alex's passing/setting was not pretty. In addition, April on two was missing given Alex's serve receive. I think the idea of Alex and Sarah is not a good one. April Ross was not the problem, and pairing Sarah with Alex would have the same issues. The more interesting question to me is, where would Kathryn Plummer from Stanford fit into the picture in the future? She's a legitimate 6'6", has played a fair amount of beach, and could partner with Sponcil. 2020 may be too tight a window for her, but if I'm a young defender, I'm thinking I would be courting her big time compared to Alex.

I was wondering about Plummer as well. Anyone know why hasn't she been playing in the AVP's?

I was wondering about Plummer as well. Anyone know why hasn't she been playing in the AVP's? She had knee surgery a few months ago. But she likely wouldn't have been playing much anyway - Plummer focuses on beach in a world championship year, and there is no U-21 WC in 2018. And given her trajectory as an indoor player, I wouldn't hold my breath that she chooses to play beach after graduation.
