hwnstunner, I agree with you completely. Blood is indeed very compelling. Yes, she is very athletic. Shoji kept saying he liked Blood's athleticism and her solid vball skills, which begs the question: Well, why the hell doesn't he play her more? And what is it with taking just 11 players while Blood is sitting home?

As for Duggins, she is probably in the same level as Woolford. She is very lucky in that she is a walk-on newcomer, yet she gets to play over the more veteran players. And she hasn't shown that she deserves to. She is also lucky to be among Shoji's 11 travel players. With all the injuries to the front row players, you'd think Shoji would bring someone who will be able to play front row.

Partial Kaleo article about Blood www.kaleo.org/vnews/display.v/ART/2006/10/11/452c843aa1f3dCo-captain senior setter Cayley Thurlby took over for Kamana‘o in Game 3 and found more than a fair share of players to contribute, serving out 18 assists and blocking two kill attempts. With the Rainbow Wahine reserves in, the ‘Bows never lost the lead and saw action from rarely-used junior middle hitter Caroline Blood. Blood put down the last two nails in the Boise State coffin, going two for two on kills, including the game-winning spike for a 30-25 Game 3 win. “[Blood’s] always on my side of the court every single day,” Thurlby said. “If I can get her the ball and give other people a break after hitting balls all night, I’m glad to. If I’m going to set it, I always like to get different people involved and that was a blast, giving her the opportunity to hit the ball.”
