Mizzou does it again beating host Dayton in four, 25-22, 17-25, 25-16, 25-10. Great day for the Tigers! Fought through some adversity. Just popping in to say how incredibly impressed I am with the play of Kylie Deberg. She is head and shoulders the best player at this Dayton tournament. Both Michigan and Dayton went after her in the back row and she consistently answered the bell. Terminal in-system hitter from anywhere on the court and solid defender. What a weapon. I texted my friend yesterday that at 6-5 she is a better back row defender than any DS or libero on Michigan's team. Terrific all around athlete. |

I texted my friend yesterday that at 6-5 she is a better back row defender than any DS or libero on Michigan's team. Terrific all around athlete. Speaking for myself, that's good to hear. I wasn't able to watch either of the matches, but one of the questions for me, as a fan, was whether Kylie would be able to take that next step this year. She was certainly not in the back row for her defense last year. While it looks good for Mizzou in an early season test, I would remind Michigan fans it's way too early for the sky to be falling. I'm anxious to see how Mizzou fares against Baylor, who beat #4 Wisconsin yesterday, in a couple of weeks. Again it will still be early, but it will be interesting as a short-term barometer. If Mizzou wins that one, it will be nice to know that they have the capability to go toe-to-toe with some of the better Big10 teams.

Mississippi State takes out the broom and sweeps Southern Mississippi (-17, -19, -23) to sweep their 2nd Invitational. Big Congrats to freshman Callie Minshew and MacKenzie Jordan who had to "grow up" and step into starting roles.

LSU splits the weekend with loss to Penn State and win over Iowa State. Standouts are the freshmen Rose and Hill! Rose is an incredible talent as she led the team in assists/digs/blocks (she's 5'6" kids!) in the Iowa State match. Hill is an impressive 6 rotation player and was the more consistent OH this weekend. Still need work on the middle connections between now and conference. Defensively, they are very solid as Walters is a great addition to the back row; has a real nice serve too. Two weeks to work out the kinks but very excited to see what this team can become!!

Good weekend for Ole Miss! Got to see some streams of their matches (not last weekend's, but the first weekend's), and I was impressed with the heat that Bair can bring.

I’m really excited for the opponents Kentucky faces this weekend because although they shouldn’t be much competition, both FGCU and Cleveland State were the closest universities when I lived in Florida and Ohio. The only thing that interests me about the Indiana match is what the attendance will look like with the football team hosting Florida that night.

Definitely pleased for Ole Miss. Was a little concerned about their 0-3 start, especially the Rice sweep.

The only thing that interests me about the Indiana match is what the attendance will look like with the football team hosting Florida that night. If Indiana serves like they can, Kentucky’s streaking serve receive could make this a compelling match. IU has balanced attacking and an improved defense. If nothing else, the girls seem to be buying in the Aird’s leadership. Kentucky definitely has the experience and talent to win this match, but I think it’ll be closer than what people think. This is far from a for-sure win for Kentucky. |

Keep an eye on A&M. Having a solid preseason and their only loss is to Louisville in 5.
