As fans of volleyball we all have those plays where we jumped out of our seat in excitement.
I am interested in seeing your favorite play. Your favorite set. Your favorite match.
Can be from any international or pro league/tournament.
Say a little something about it and share a link if possible so we can see it.
I’m currently compiling a list myself.
I look forward to watching/reading about them.

The #1 kill by Samantha Fabris from Wolosz in this video (at the end). Favorite play I’ve seen!

What point? My phone isn't showing the time... During the transition play where Slöetjes is dug and then the almost zero tempo connection from Glass to Foluke on the slide behind.

For me there are a couple of matches that stand out.
Part of my process for diving into the world of volleyball has been going back through the years and watching as many matches from tournaments I can get access to.
I’ve always been a fan of the sport but have only started really following it since around Rio 2016.
My list is broken into matches, sets and plays.
Matches: 2012 London Olympics - Pool B USA vs China.
2014 Italy World Championships - Semi Final USA vs Brazil
2015 WGP Finals - USA vs Russia
2015 Champions League Final Eczacibasi VitrA vs Unet E-Work Busto Arsizio
2016 Rio Olympics - Quarterfinal China vs Brazil
2016 Club World Championships - Final Eczacibasi VitrA vs Pomi Casalmaggiore.
2018 VNL: Pool Play Serbia vs. Netherlands Finals Serbia vs USA Both Semi’s USA vs China and Brazil vs Turkey
2018 World Championships Semi Final China vs Italy Final Serbia vs Italy
Sets: London 2012 Final USA vs Brazil Set 1
Rio 2016 Semi Final USA vs Serbia Set 1
2018 VNL Pool Play USA vs China Set 3
There are others I just cannot recall off of the top of my head.
This post is too long and my mind is going blank at the moment for my list of plays.
This is enough for now

I would have to go with the final play of the last NCAA tournament, McClure's back row kill to end the match- It was just SOOO unexpected, and she was a favorite player who had had a very tough match. And it ended the season, hard to beat that for punctuation.

Ok, not pro or international, but I'll never forget Stanford's thrashing of Nebraska in the semi-finals 2001. In the first game, Ashley Ivy held off four Nebraska game points with jump serves, including two aces, I believe. Huskers fought hard in game 2, but lost by two, then folded their tents in the third game. It was a huge Nebraska crowd in San Diego and so pleasing to stop hearing them by game 3. I also had really good seats. Stanford's win over the undefeated Beach was almost an anti-climax.
