When Villa was on serve, Hodge attacked mostly from position 4 and Cruz from position 2.

any video of Hodge playing on the rightside? 33 points is huge at this level!

Pretty interesting -- perhaps Hodge & Hooker should switch positions on the NT? (thinking towards 2016, not 2012)
My first reaction was that Hodge would have trouble on the right, but I would love to be proven wrong.

could that mean Hodge and Hooker Fighting for Starting Spot on Team USA!!! opening up a spot at OH... perhaps Klineman. There would be no fight between Hooker and Hodge for playing time at OPP.

The USA NT head coach Hugh McCutcheon comes to Azerbaijan!!!
The USA National team head coach Hugh McCutcheon will visit Azerbaijan to watch his players from the National team playing in Azerbaijan. Last week Hugh McCutcheon visited Russian Nation Cup finals in Kazan,where plays another American player Jordan Larson. After Russia he will come to Azerbaijan to watch his NT girls Kimberly Glass, Jennifer Joines-Tamas, Ashley Engle, Tayyiba Haneef-Park, Kelly Wing, Nicole Davis, Nancy Metcalf, Kristin Richards, Jordana Price and Heather Kisner,. Three potential NT players Angie McGinnis, Cheryl Weaver (the first two played for NT in the past years ) and Julie Rubenstein (who was a member of the Youth NT) left Azerbaijan due to healthy problems.

In Italian league action today, Pesaro (placed 2nd in the league) played the top team in the league. Pesaro won in 3... thanks to another great performance from Hooker. 16 points... hit almost 70%. Pesaro is now in first place.
For Cortese, Aguero is back; but they lost in 4. Hodge saw limited playing time.

Pesaro is now in first place. For Cortese, Aguero is back; but they lost in 4. Hodge saw limited playing time. Nice comeback in the second set by Pesaro. They were behind by 4-5 points most of that game, but managed to push right at the end and win 25-23. With Flier and Hooker a couple spots apart and both able to terminate from all over the court, it's no surprise Pesaro has risen to the top. That point-scoring combination is pretty tough to block and defend. It's the Kosheleva/Gamova tandem of the Italian league. I just wish Pavan had still been playing with Conegliano this season. I would love to see her and Hooker face off for the first time in three years. During their NCAA overlap that was always the most exciting player matchup of the Big12.

A snippet from the USAV Feb. 8th update (since we seem to be getting updates on everyone but her), Foluke had a ridiculous weekend averaging 6.5 kpg.
AKINRADEWO WITH TOYOTA IN JAPAN: Foluke Akinradewo (Plantation, Fla.), a middle blocker with the U.S. Women’s National Team, is currently playing for Toyota Autobody in Japan’s V-League for the 2010-11 professional season. Toyota improved to 8-10 on the season after breaking a six-match losing streak and winning both its matches this past weekend. Toyota rallied past Okayama 18-25, 27-25, 25-19, 25-16 on Feb. 5 as Akinradewo scored 30 points with 28 kills on 48 swings and two blocks. Toyota swept Denso 25-14, 25-19, 25-18 on Feb. 6 as Akinradewo collected 17 points, all on kills via 24 attacks. Toyota returns to the court versus NEC on Feb. 12 and JT on Feb. 13. Both matches will be played at Hyougo.
