BYU def. Lewis 30-26, 30-32, 34-32, 31-29
Pretty close match between these two teams. Pretty sloppy for the most part, but it was the first match of the season.
Some thoughts on the match:
Plenty of service errors, over 20 for each team.
Setting was shaky for both teams, but Neilson was more consistant. Sisk for Lewis really struggled, felt bad for him and his bad finger.
Castellano impressed me as Stuntz's replacement as the Lewis libero.
Loved watching Soler play, great hops.
Batista wasn't as effective... something like 16 kills and 11 errors, was better hitting out of the back row.
Taylor Evans for BYU reminds me of Casey Jennings.
Michael Burke and Enrique Escalante were both effective from the middle.
Ivan Perez started for BYU, replaced by Patterson in game two.
Overall: Lewis is a feisty team. They could be dangerous come time for the MIVA regular season. BYU looked like they were a half step slow or something... not really consistant. Should start to settle down. One of at least 6 teams that can win the MPSF this year.
