Texas up two games to zero. (-18, -18)
Texas hit .459 to Kansas' .156 in game one and .415 to .225 in game two. Dariam Acevedo is tied for match high kills with 9 followed by Destinee, Lauren Paolini, and Ashley Engle all with 8. Jennifer Todd has 5.

Easy win for the Horns. 30-18 in the third, they emptied their bench and still hit .517 to .147.

Appears that the Horns were hitting on all cylinders. A good win on the road.

In the play-by-play I notice that halfway through game 3 Moriarty's name disappears and suddenly Engle gets five assists and Jenny Andrew's name shows up too. There's definitely a pattern developing in which Jerritt gives Engle the reins at the end of matches. And who can blame him - Moriarty's defense is tons better than her freshman year when her back row left a lot to be desired, why not leave her to dig and have Engle jumpset/kill the second ball?
Adding Doris and Faucette (along with Magee's expected return) next year makes this team extremely scary. He will have so many powerful hitters it will be hard to resist running a modified 6-2 with Moriarty coming out in front in favor of a blocker. The gameplay isn't yet there consistently, but they have the makings of the overloaded 2002-2003 USC squads he helped put together.

It would be great to see a 6-2 from them now but I think Jerritt wants Engle as an offensive threat from the backrow. She had some nice kills from behind the 10 foot against PSU. Definitely see the plus with her setting from the front row. Could be interesting if Jerritt did this randomly during matches and catch the opposing front row off guard. |

All the powerful hitters in the world is useless unless they can get the ball to them. USC teams of the pass had Excellent ball control, that is what made them so good. Texas is nowhere near USC in that respect. |

I don't see anyone matching what USC did back in 2002-2003, anytime soon. They were the most complete volleyball team I've ever seen in the history of watching women's college volleyball. They had it all, passing, defense, blocking, hitting, serving and most importantly, amazing team chemistry. There was just no weakness. They had amazing depth and skill, they never got rattled, they were mentally tough and physically imposing. In short, they were sick!

Texas is nowhere near USC in that respect. Wow pretty tough statement saying Texas does not have ball control. Acevedo, Jennings, Kisner and Engle can't pass. Hmmmm. I'm not comparing Texas to USC of past but does anyone else here agree Texas does not have ball control? I don't agree with that statement at all.... |

Does Texas have ball control?
Yes
Is their ball control as good as USC teams of 2002-03?
I'd say so far no.

That USC squad was very very good. The UW team of last year comes closest, but I still wouldn't call it close enough because USC's starting lineup was too strong and talented. I can't quite remember exactly, but wasn't their whole starting lineup named to the AVCA AA list? |

Last I checked Texas nor any other team is playing USC 02-03 for the championship this year.

But remember I'm not talking about 2000/2001. The 2002-2003 USC team wasn't starting 3 freshmen. Other than Bibi (and Adams in 2002), all the other starters were juniors and seniors.
Which of course is why I said: "The gameplay isn't yet there consistently, but they have the makings of the overloaded 2002-2003 USC squads he helped put together."

And weren't those great SC teams recruited by Jerritt Elliott?...maybe he's doing it again at Texas.
