I just want to say I’m Stanning for Jordan Thompson. Me too. Especially so she shuts up the haters who don’t think she can hang at this level! No one...not one person said she couldn't hang at this level. I think anyone cautious about her debut were just that; cautious. Many players have come out of the gates against lesser competition and have played well only to falter against better teams. What matters is how they match up against the likes of a full strength Italy, Serbia or China.

I do hope that she continues to debunk that theory and if a junior player with national team dreams don’t discount mid-majors on that basis. (And that mid-major All-Americans don’t feel pressured to transfer up)

With last year as an indicator it was shown that the only medal won was with MBH at OP. Lowe and Drews, as nice players as they are, are not sufficient enough in this era of rising stars, Zhu, Bosko, Egonu, Haak, Karakut, to allow the US to medal in the major tournaments. The hope is that this Hooker play alike,Thompson, could rise up in a very short period and provide that killer attack we lack. If not since Karch can't seem to recongnize his own face in a mirror we are just abandoning this quad as the lost Karch era.
Some of us are running out of time to experience an Olympic gold.

USA trying to find their bearings against a more attack oriented offense, even without Serbia's A players. Tied at 12.

Ugh, so many chances to run Rettke on the slide in that last long rally!

Hancock needs to stop tipping those balls on top of the net and start setting them. It’s very obvious when she’s not going to set. Rettke needs a lot of work defensively.
