Were there any 6ro middles this season? Who have been some notable ones since the liberos was implemented? Just thinking about it because I’m stunned Georgia didn’t have Sophie Fischer run 6ro this season. I mean seriously, they’re way underperforming and still nothing lol. I was a little surprised Amber was never allowed to at Hawaii either. especially when Hawaii’s liberos weren’t at the level they probably should’ve been during her career (sorry!) and all of their pins being able to pass in 2023. I mean hell, her floor defense was excellent, granted she did seem a little slowed by an injury in 2023 so maybe a back row attack would’ve been ineffective (granted, it’s not like Riley, Caylen, or Hakas were effective last season. hell the other middle hit under .300 too) 100% agreed on Fischer. She was SUCH a dominant OH in high school and she played at the highest division. I felt she was only moved to middle in club / at Kentucky bc of her height. If Georgia is struggling THIS badly, at least go back to letting her bomb away on D balls out of the back row -- what could it possibly hurt? She's shown she's more than capable of doing it. PS -- i love watching HS vball for this reason bc in the last match I watched (in Michigan's smallest division - enrollment less than 200), the team had 7 total players, didn't use a libero or have the 7th girl play at all. They just won their state semifinal with all pins and middles playing six ros, both OH's and both middles hitting pipes and D balls lol. It's so fun to watch to me. I'd be fuming if I was the 7th girl... not even as a serving sub? That's foul. |

Props to Meggan Kohnen, the the 6 rotation middle the Badgers needed in 2000 to make the huge jump to league title and the national championship match, but the rules are better now. No one wants to see 6 rotation middles.

Megan Korver, Nebraska 1997 & 1998. I always assumed that most middles played six rotations in the 90s. Was it common to have a DS for both middles in the back row then? I don’t really remember any of the 90s teams well enough to recall, hence my question. I started watching NCAA in 2001, and 2002 was the first season they used the libero position in NCAA. |
