Just realized that Bella Gamache a late 2023 commit is not on the indoor roster. Her post did say indoor/beach, but looks like she will be just doing beach this year.

Ducks exhibition vs Portland State tonight. Ducks won 4-0, though PSU dug well and pushed them at times. Great to see some of the freshmen play. Acevedo and Glover are the real deal. Will be very hard to keep them off the court.
Ducks won: 25-16. Murphy libero. Colyer, Gonzales OH. Lewis Opp. McGhee, Bacon MB. Pukis setter. Daley DS/serving for Lewis. Ferreira serve for Bacon.
25-17. Murphy libero. Colyer, Gonzales OH. Lewis Opp. Colby, Bacon MB. Pukis setter. Daley DS/serving for Lewis. Ferreira serve for Bacon. Thibault in for Colyer backrow. Cline set for Pukis for a rotation or 2.
25-20. Murphy libero. Colyer, Acevedo OH. Glover Opp. McGhee, Bacon MB. Pukis setter. Daley DS/serving for Glover. Gonzales in backrow for Colyer. Ferreira serve for Bacon.
25-18. Murphy libero. Colyer, Acevedo OH. Glover Opp. Colby, Bacon MB. Pukis setter. Daley DS/serving for Glover. Thibault in backrow for Colyer. Ferreira serve for Bacon.
Karson blocked very well. Daley had great deffense and serving. Acevedo had great passing, good serving, and hitting in system. Gloever gives Mutiri vibes. Lefty opposite, but more power and athleticism.

How would you compare Gonzales to Acevedo. Obviously, Gonzales is much more experienced but do you think there is a chance Acevedo beats her out?

Lefty opposite, but more power and athleticism. Great rundown. It was fun to be at MKA again and see some fresh faces playing! I haven’t watched Gonzales play much before - does she usually chip/tip most of the time? I was wondering if she’s used to slower tempo sets and is still getting into system. Alex played really well tonight, it was great to see. I was very impressed with Glover, she had a lot of great hits! I was surprised we didn’t see Sophie or Maya at all. The first two sets it was obvious the Ducks are really missing Brooke in passing and defense, especially. They seemed to clean it up a bit in the second two sets but I’m wondering if Ulmer will actually be DSing any of the outsides in the back row this year (as he did tonight), Instead of playing them all the way around.

Sounds like a good scrimmage. Curious they didn't empty the bench, but maybe that indicates the last few starting spots are really being contested (esp. if the alternative is a redshirt year).
I do wonder if Acevedo's passing could carry her into that L2 spot.

They seemed to clean it up a bit in the second two sets but I’m wondering if Ulmer will actually be DSing any of the outsides in the back row this year (as he did tonight), Instead of playing them all the way around. Agreed. Great to be back. Gonzales is known for struggling to put balls away at times, although I liked her variety. I was more surprised by her inconsistent passing and serve receive at times. If she doesn't clean that up, I don't see her starting over Acevedo, who I thought was stronger in the front and showed a lot of perfect passes. I think Gonzales will start, but in a tough match when she is struggling, Acevedo will be next to go in. Kind of a bummer for her if she only plays part-time, because then she won't be able to get that FOY vote option, but it will help her warmup to be ready as a starter for next year. Glover was really good. She also is in the same spot to jump in if Lewis struggles, and I definitely see her getting playing time this year. In terms of Gregoire, she does pass well based on what I saw in the spring scrimmages. I just think she isn't as strong in the front row as others in front of her, so her only playing time this year, if she doesn't redshirt, may likely be some serving and back row assistance at times. I think it is a bummer for Maya, but with the new freshmen arriving, she may not play at all. Her level isn't quite up to theirs. I think Ulmer will likely start out matches with the same lineup he did in the first set, and only DS Colyer or Gonzales if they are struggling. So that leaves out Thibault and others, unless really needed. We will see. Though Thibault is in line for libero for next year unless Daley doesn't take it as she is playing very well, so it is likely that getting Thibault playing time this year will help her prepare for next year when she will be needed more.

So, I have heard. And she didn't play at all tonight.

Maybe Kelly didn't play for that reason, or she is just 4th in line after Colyer, Gonzales, and Acevedo. In that regards, Kelly may redshirt.

Yes, I believe she has a 2-year program and that was the plan when she decided on Oregon. It will make next years transition much easier when Bacon and McGhee are out of eligibility.
