Ducks played another scrimmage up at Athena's facility - won all 4 sets against PSU. Sets 1 and 4 were comfortable wins, Set 3 was semi-comfortable (big lead, relaxed a bit, and then took control at the end). Set 2 required a huge comeback because we got stuck in Ro1 forever (2 rotation errors of all things, a couple aces conceded, and some blocked attacks on bad passes - don't recall if PSU had a kill in that run), but then Mimi took over offensively to erase an 8 (or 9?) point deficit.
Lineups: Ofoegbu playing full time front row (no breaks for her this time), McClellan libero and Cline setter the whole way. Set 1 - Ohwobete/Acevedo OH, Glover opp/ Patterson DS Set 2 - Colyer/Acevedo OH, Gregoire opp (6 rotations) Set 3 - Ohwobete/Gregoire OH, Glover opp / Patterson DS Set 4 - Colyer/Acevedo OH, Glover opp / Ohwobete DS
I would put good money on Ofoegbu being an All-American this season. She was dominant offensively (I think they dug her on the quick once, everything else was kills, slide had some mistimings though) and was all over PSU blocking early. I think she got tired at the end because the quality of block touches went down, but damn she is good.
Cline showed a lot more aggressiveness, and I love her offensive net presence - she is a real scoring threat. Location was pretty good overall, considering how much she was setting on the run. I'd like to see her set tighter to the outside OOS though - a few strayed too far off the net.
Glover was great blocking and good in-system, but needs to take better OOS swings, mostly pretty passive shots and you can't send downballs over in the PAC. . . errr.. . Big Ten.
Outside is obviously the most interesting. Colyer was on fire, I'd believe you if you told me she hit .600. Don't recall her getting served much, but I think(?) she did well when called upon. Ohwobete was very good all-around, great moments in all skills, also didn't get served much. She's a fabulous pick-up.
Gregoire had a really good match offensively (except for that one time in Ro1 she was lethal hitting) very impressive and scoring well. Serve receive wasn't great though. Acevedo didn't have her best match, it appears that PSU was picking on something particular in serve receive, and I think it disrupted her rhythm offensively. She did have the final kill, and it was a monster shot. But not a great day at the office.
If it were based on this match alone, one would think it'd be Colyer/Ohwobete - but obviously there's 4 months to go and other data points from Spring may turn out differently. I'm still not off the Mimi-at-opp train either.
The glaring issue really (again) was serve receive - it's just not where it needs to be. Gave up a LOT of aces, and even more bad passes. Cline isn't the OOS magician that Pukis was, though I think she held up well to the pressure - we've had some other setters who really get frazzled when stressed by the passing and *knock on wood* she seems tougher. Fortunately, the back row attack is proving pretty reliable and a good outlet to take some pressure off of left front. Morris will be hugely important in bridging us through this season though.
Serve and block were good. Defense ok (tip coverage and block coverage need work).

I agree Ohwobete will see the court.

That's why we're starting the Mimi-at-opposite bandwagon. You are welcome to hop on. If Mimi does play opp, do you think they go with all 3 pins playing 6ro? Seems Ohwobete, Gregoire, and Acevedo are all decent passers, and I don’t think you can really take Mimi out.

Seems Ohwobete, Gregoire, and Acevedo are all decent passers, and I don’t think you can really take Mimi out. Yes, I'm not sure it'll lead to a big delta in passing versus a DS (and it will give more flexibility in making adjustments for the 3 rotations where there wouldn't be a DS). Another big advantage is the backrow hitting. All of the outsides look really good on the pipe across matches, and Cline is comfortable setting them. I expect it to be a consistent, significant part of the offense. Moving Mimi to opp will also open up D-balls that aren't there with a DS, adding another threat and making it so we always have 4 hitting options and gives us more to work with out-of-system. Oregon has been spoiled with stellar passing for a long time, so we've been able to maximize with more in-system OPP options (I think the last one who was really good OOS was Agost), but this year might call for a new strategy. Also, both of our presumptive middles (Ofoegbu and Neal) are significantly more dangerous off of two feet than on the slide. One more macro point - it's how we get our best 7 on court, IMO - and there's value in that.

One more macro point - it's how we get our best 7 on court, IMO - and there's value in that. I definitely agree. I don’t really recall, was Mimi the OH1 or OH2 last year? I know she’s always been pretty lethal on the D ball but I don’t ever really remember seeing her swing from the right in the front row. I’d love to see her at Opp tho, at least at the beginning of the season
