Duke is actually playing well and getting solid swings, but the Minnesota defense is just eating up everything, and getting kills in transition. First time I'm seeing Wittman play, and she looks great.

Wittman runs the X-play in the middle very well. She's done it twice this set to perfection. Duke is playing the best they have all year, but Minnesota is just better.

I have to tell you that I'm pretty darned surprised that Nucci was able to come in and (so far) beat out Tabberson. Really didn't think that would happen.

I agree I think the coaches need to do something to wake them up in the morning. I'm going out to San Diego next weekend so maybe I can do something?

Meanwhile, Tabberson's ex-teammate Gray has 6 kills and is hitting .500.
