Maryland's roster features two Sconnie setters: Freshman Lilly Wagner, alum of Oconomowoc High School and Milwaukee Sting; and senior Sydney Dowler, whose family now lives in Oconomowoc as well. Dowler went to high school in North Carolina, but we'll consider her a Sconnie for today's purposes. Welcome home, ladies!

Dowler	Wagner

We also have a high school reunion tonight! Maryland sophomore outside hitter Skylar Gerhardt played for Mira Costa High School with Wisconsin freshman setter Charlie Fuerbringer.


Fuerbringer (#24) and Gerhardt (#12) celebrate after a Mira Costa win over Redondo Union in 2022.

Wound up phoning in the fun facts a little - sorry!

Nice work on the Intro.

Can someone going to the game please have a look at Una in warmups. I have high hopes that she's going to be ready to go by the middle of November. I think we're going to need her against the bigger and better teams in crunch time. I'm still not sold Julia up front. Yes, she has gotten some nice blocks, but she also gets tooled a lot by better players and struggles to terminate against better teams.

Don't fix things when they're not broken. Additionally, it is delusional to think Sheffield will sit Ozol, his favorite player on the roster.

I mean, he could always put Julia in as the Jade Demps role if he needs it.

0 chance. Orzol's backrow attack is like, poor.

Sheff said on his radio show this week that Una will not play this year. They plan to have her ready for spring.

Call this an fanboi post if you want. Julia’s value over a generic replacement player for this team has to be through the roof, rivaled only by Sarah.

Geez M Crow turn down the music. I shouldn't have to text the person next to me.

[swaggyp]

Everyone looks suited and healthy.

And Coach B brought her Wizard of Oz-est heels.

I had this starting at 8:30 EDT so missed the pregame. Sorry.

Hilley-esque one-hand save set from Charlie to the middle there
