MBH delivered the goods for Novara. Based on this match with Karch's continued love for lefties MBH is signaling she is not ready to give up her starting spot earned at the end of last years WC. Hill had a great year for Imoco but struggled today. You can't ask her to carry the team with that many swings as that is not the role she currently is playing. The USNT will have the luxury of a top group of OH's but still seems mired in the lack of a dominant OP as demonstrated by Lowe today. The Egonu's, Bosko's, Zhu's still rule the world and without one it will be tough to make it to the top.

I couldn't resist not posting this European perspective on Carlini today.

Carlini outperfoming Wolosz today. I thought i would never see Carlini playing so well but Conegliano is helping. They are doing absolutely nothing today, really awful. I just wanted a final to not be 3x0 like always
Her long fast sets behind for Egonu were absolutely beautiful.
Not to mention her all around performance so far. "

Carlini gets lucky yet again. Learn how to set girl, you’re luck can’t continue forever.

Congrats to Novara, Conegliano might be the CL champions next year. Novara was really not better than any position save opposite and yet they still won with awful Carlini not setting the middles.

" Haha, haven't you seen the european perspective about carlini's setting to middles? Everyone jokes about it in Italy and on volleycountry. But huge respect to carlini for amazing floor defence today. Also her setting quality to pins was perfect.

I crack up hearing the Jeopardy song during challenges. I knew Jeopardy was on in other countries but I never thought of that song as being globally recognized.

So should we be hopeful that Carlini will transform Lowe into Egonu or is that just too much to ask. She will have MBH and Larson but with no pipe attack and no middles what can the USNT hope for. Hope springs eternal in the heart of all Americans. If we can weather Trump we can weather Karch. Gold in 2020 for both Trump and Karch? Where is my migraine medication?

None of that will matter if Coach insist on most the balls going to the left side. Middles and opposite need to see way more sets.

No joking.
Carlini needs to improve her connection with her middles. This is her major task. But aside from that, she is far from a terrible setter as some poster on this forum indicates. I know she still has a long way to go, I will always root for her, in her ups and downs. Seeing her improving on the court is the real pleasure. Go, Lauren!

I do wonder if Barbolini realized winning the Finals series was a long shot and sat on defensive adjustments thinking they have a better shot here, getting a trophy in a one-off match before counter-adjustments could be fully made. I'd need to rewatch both to look for what was done differently, or if it was really just a bad day from Conegliano offensively and a good day for some of Novara's supporting cast.

Carlini just led her team to a championship at the highest level. Those that constantly say she sucks need to eat some freaking crow. Have a nice day.

I'm sad for carlini fan boys. She won't play in CL next year, also not for a top euro team.
But fingers crossed, she makes the 2020 roster.
