welp let’s just hope Orzol gets healthy, can hit around .220ish, and that damrow settles in as libero bc GG girl… not sure I’m seeing the vision Given Sheff's post-match comments, we'll likely see both of them again with Damrow in serve receive [from a Dennis Punzel article this AM @ madison.com}
Damrow played in serve receive situations while Guctekin played when the Badgers were serving. She also took her turn in the serve rotation.
Sheffield was generally pleased with the play of both of the liberos, especially so for Damrow, who missed almost all of last season and a good chunk of her high school senior season with a series of knee issues that required several surgeries.
“I thought she did a really good job in serve receive, out-of-system balls,” Sheffield said. “I thought she did a really nice job for that first match and it’s going to be something good for her to build on. It sort of matches her strength a little bit, her ability to communicate in serve receive, I think adds strength to the people around her.
“GG defensively is awfully good. Usually she’s better behind the service line than she was tonight. Out-of-system setting I think she’s one of the best I’ve seen in that position. I think it matches their skill set real well.

hm… damrow was specifically in there in serve receive where there’s less dig opportunities and still was only out dug by a singular dig by GG. they might be better off just playing her as Smrek’s DS. she can still secondary set from there |

I like our chances this weekend. Wisconsin has a lot to figure out it seems, but pieces are certainly there. I respect this team way too much to feel overly confident. Will be a battle, and they have the gift of knowing what their weaknesses are.

Watching again on YouTube - announcer mixes up Devyn and Carter in set 3 😭😭 that can’t be that difficult to tell them apart easily it happened at least once in this thread too 🫣 Edit to add damn you’re already watching a second time? Lol. I get it though. I wish the teams would swap opponents tonight  I fell asleep after set 2 😆😆 |

I’d bet a measly amount it’s: Skinner/Wenaas (DS Ramirez) Swindle/Rutherford Singletary/Ames Halter Devin is Rutherford isn’t 100 percent. And Whitney quickly off the bench for Jenna if need be. ETA: I also foresee an Averi/Devin double sub at least once in the match, but I’m not sure. |

From what I remember seeing she has a rly good rightside block |

I am not looking forward for this site to host the National Championship come December. I don't need all the flashing lights during the lull in between points. Keep the lights on, it's distracting as a viewer. It's the environment they created for the people actually in the arena, and it was a more fun and upbeat environment than any volleyball game i've ever been to - which includes a national championship match |

2024 AVCA First Serve all-star team selections Scott (although Beavin put on a SHOWWWW) The fact these two played on the same club team plus allie hornung (libero for purdue) is so insane lol |
