Celia Cullen is a boss. MSU lost a good one. MSU lost a couple goods ones after Cathy George left. Franklin, Cullen, and Grimes off the top of my head.

I don’t remember the last time I saw only NINE assists from the setter for an entire match.

Embarrassing loss for Baylor. SMU is a very dangerous team for sure. And it’s only the beginning of the season. They will only get better playing together! It is safe to say SMU is the ranked team killer?

That was domination. Baylors passing is not good, other than Briseno they have no one who can consistently pass. I did say my biggest worry was serve receive. I haven’t watched the match yet (and idk if I will), but for JBF to only have 9 assists… I can only imagine. While serve receive hasn’t seemed too bad overall in previous matches, it certainly has been rocky at times. What doesn’t make sense is Sophia Keene just sitting there on the bench. She was a consistent part of the passing unit that had been one of the best in the nation over the last two seasons. Definitely an eyeopening loss, but SMU is proving to be an extremely solid team with lots of potential to be even more dominant come tourney time. McGuyre is very good at making meaning out of losses, so hopefully he finds a way to not let these two very tough, yet very different matches negatively impact the upcoming ones. Baylor is still a good team, just many things to figure out.

Nice win for SMU, obviously. They just need to find a way to be consistently good. They did lose the match after beating a now 4-1 Hawai'i 25-7 in the first set of the year in Manoa. Good side for them, they will have multiple opportunities to get more big wins to help their case for hosting NCAA matches in the ACC.

And I thought Stanford’s match @ SMU was going to be a pretty easy win … right now SMU would be the favorite IMO

VT voters need to rank SMU. WHERE you should rank them... I don't know. Good luck with that.

I don't know if this has been mentioned but 7 of the 14 rostered players on SMU are graduate students. That is a lot of experience on the court.
Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Wichita State, Wyoming, Texas A&M, Creighton and Michigan State
If you look at their individual point stats their top three for earning points are the graduates, then a senior and then another graduate.
