ASU starting off with a pretty weak non con again. Should have no trouble coming out of the tournament undefeated. As long as Van Niel found someone to replace Levinska offensively, my money is on Miller or Pressley.

As long as Van Niel found someone to replace Levinska offensively, my money is on Miller or Pressley. Was thinking the same thing. A bit too easy of a noncon start. Should give them games to get their groove though. |

ASU went overseas for the spring and had many matches to figure that out. I bet Miller starts at opp. They have plenty of scoring options even without Marta. |

This! and let’s not forget between Cyr and Shroll, nothing is hitting the floor |

I'm guessing to start for asu:
OH: cyr, rabelo
Opp: Miller
S: ung
Mb: Jeter, kjolhede
L: shroll, ds cromartie or zatechka.
Both cromartie and presley are very capable at jumping in at the pin if starters struggle, and wilgus for mb.
This is a very capable team and should do well this year.

I bet Miller starts at opp. They have plenty of scoring options even without Marta. hmm… none of Cyr, Rabelo, Miller, or Cromartie for that matter were even close to hitting .250 last season. they’ll need to pass lights out (which, they can luckily) and feed the middles as much as possible. (not that arizona is in any better position, it’s just hard to lose your 5.5 point per set scorer that hit .350 and expect ~.200 hitters to make up that production. Savannah K was a big pickup though. should be a great blocking and defensive team, just worried about the offense) |

I think this year will be more of a balanced offense, which is hard to defend against. Yes kjolhede has a strong slide attack too. We will see. Plus Ung at setter is a weapon too. |

i have a feeling rabelo is going to be hitting on the right She and Miller both seemed to be the ones playing on the right in the spring, so if shes there who do you see on the left? |
