I'm rooting for father and son to get that Natty together. Aiden, as awkward as he is in his delivery, and as controversial is his 40" Vertical, has set his team to three straight NCAA Final Fours and 2 out of the past 3 finals.
Go Beach!!!

Godbold just didn't have it, couldn't put in or on any pressure from the end line, and teams are gonna target him on serve
Harlan subbed in to serve for Godbold early 3rd set, and that was that
then Harlan's monstrous solo timed block on Gianni set Hickman off with Harlan chirping. and Hickman responded, it's like dude your team got roofed, shut up, so HIckman gets the yellow card...too bad! Hickman was pointing at Ohio State on Tuesday after points, I guess that's his schtick, lol. after that Beach owned that bitch. all talk but Beach shut that guy up. Hickman I like, his serve was so effective and big reason GCU won the first set
Huge win, Knipe had a couple early ugly sets, one late first set on a critical point lost.
Varga so consistent. but Harlan, just nickeled and dimed to score however he could. finally got a huge point of the match after GCU clawed to 9-10, to keep that Beach lead. huge point with Gianni serving
a bit like the 11-10 point Henno serving in the 5th earlier, with McHenry set to return, and UCLA winning that has massive back and forth point, not sure if UCLA could have survived down 12-10 with Henno serving. then McHenry comes in and it was over.

Harlan has impressed me all season long. He has the ability to come off of the bench and affect the game in every way possible at a high level. |

Does no one care about this? Beach fans just got an all time classic come from behind reverse sweep momentous rock-em sock-em heavyweight bout with a great GCU team that came within a few hairs of playing for the Natty. GCU is cocky but in a reasonable way, there was some good crossfire talk as the Beach came back but it was awesome to see the GCU team after the handshake line wave to their fans then to the LB fans, very appreciative and classy. One of their guys was totally emotionally spent they wanted it so bad. Gianni got shut up in the best way, funny taunting the LB fanbase then Torwie lays two aces on him. Hilarious! You could see his cockiness evaporate from his body and that was when the reverse sweep began. I was very concerned about tonights match. Felt like the first of two championship matches in a row. Even with the crowd I thought it was a 50/50 game. No place for the timid right now. Beach was off in serve receive and serve pressure the first two sets and GCU was a well oiled machine. Damn they are lightning quick and have some sick hops for a smallish squad. Once the Beach got momentum the crowd starting going nuts and it was a game. GCU fought hard even in that fifth set but you could see the life draining out of them and the Beach growing taller each point. Love how UCI almost took out the Bruins. Now the gloves come off and its time to go get it BEACH! |

Harlan has impressed me all season long. He has the ability to come off of the bench and affect the game in every way possible at a high level. Harlan has ice in his veins, how he comes in and makes plays from the bench like he does. whether serving sub or to sub in and creates great shots for a sub. I guess playing vs. the starters every day in practice last 3 years has paid off. |

Lesson in sports psychology. GCU had all the momentum in the third set up 2-0. Long Beach was on their heels and the crowd was out of it. Then Hickman went off. He got the Beach players and the crowd fired up. A switch was flipped. Why taunt and anger a team that you have in a corner? Not a good move. The momentum changed and Long Beach took control. You could see it in their eyes. They were not going to let the trash talk get the best of them. From there they changed the standard of their play and the crowd roared back the rest of the way. . GCU coaches should control that kind of thing. Its on thing to get jacked with your own players and the crowd. However, when you do it across the net you take a big risk. Long Beach veterans responded. Once the third set was over I new Long Beach had the match. |

Long Beach veterans responded. Once the third set was over I new Long Beach had the match. that's part of it. Credit has to go to Knipe for pulling Godbold and doing it early in that 3rd set. Godbold was not making enough plays and is a target in the backrow. I wonder if KNipe will go with Godbold on Saturday. If Godbold's serve is on, he's got a better arm than Harlan and explosive BIC, but for the finals, UCLA will serve at Godbold unmercifully on Saturday if they see him back there. Harlan is cool and creative, even got a left handed kill tonight. It's a tough decision. Classic trade-off. Speraw has some tough ones as well. I kind of expect Godbold to start. Godbold pulverized Irvine in Hawaii. Godbold was icing his knee after he left as well, but I think that's been normal precaution. |
