I think pretty much all of us enjoy seeing bench players get time on the court in matches. Pringle has definitely earned her court time. She has a tough, consistent serve and often goes on runs. She now spells Baird in the back row sometimes, and is gaining confidence back there. Good to see.
Belardi got some time on the court today. On one play she covered the hitters well, made a couple digs near the net. On the next play, Oregon attacked with a soft hit right at Belardi, and she froze and pulled back. Oops. Hopefully more court time will gain her confidence too, so she will make that dig rather than shy away.
My problem is Belardi's serve. It is a lollipop. No float, no movement, just a soft, high-arcing lollipop. Easiest serve in the world to pass. She has got to have something better than that to offer.

Thanks. In the video, Jenna Gray (10) sets for Minas (white) in the Brazilian Women's Superliga. For Hawai'i fans, Annie Mitchem (11) also plays for Minas in this match.

Chester looks so tiny next to Kipp, even with those pumped up kicks. Chester was at the Oregon match last night sitting on press row next to the KZSU broadcasters.

To me it seemed like Belardi was trying to serve short. Not sure how hard of a serve you can realistically make for short serves

Belardi's serve is tricky. It could be a soft-slow serve, but when it gets over the net, it looks like it was sucked down the floor with g=18.99 m/s^2. This will force the players to bend down closely to the floor or completely out of their shapes to take a swing, forcing the setter to set a more predictable ball that is easy for blocking/defence.

I think she's quite a good DS and probably is not used to playing left back. With that in mind, she got a few digs in her serving substitution. I always thought she was a scrappy defender and has a deceptive serve that doesn't look tough but causes trouble for other teams (mostly based on her play as a serving sub last year).

I strongly believe Sayer is Stanford bound I’m glad the lack of depth at middle is being handled I’m concerned about the libero situation for 2025

Wait, I thought the Force of Gravity g = 9.8m/s 2? Or are you saying those balls were sucked into the floor (like a vacuum cleaner) at roughly twice the force of gravity?

Interesting comment on 2024 recruit Yu by Hambly at last night's chalk talk.
