On mobile and not sure I’m viewing the stats correctly, anyone care to translate? Only had time to get the table together this morning before I had to get moving and ready for work. Megan Miller has been solidly the most effective server in Nebraska's lineup. Her Ace rate isn't that high, but she serves in play and Nebraska is winning nearly fifty percent of points played off of her serve. Average is around 45% nationally. Lexi Sun has the second best scoring rate per serve, but is in a virtual tie with Nicklin and due to John Cook's propensity to start in rotation one with Nicklin serving and therefore provide Nicklin with a higher chance to get an additional appearance at the line, Nebraska is actually scoring slightly more often with Nicklin at the service line than they are with Lexi (4.66 Service Points Per 100 Points Played compared to Lexi's 4.61). Nicklin is behind her point rate from last year down from 49.73% to 47.84%. However, it wasn't that long ago that she was actually ahead and one good service run could change things drastically. After those three, Densberger and Knuckles are next at around 46% followed by Kubik just under 45%. Kubik has struggled in large part due to her high error rate of 11% and low ace rate of slightly under 3%. When she puts a serve in play, her point rate actually jumps to 48.65% which is still behind Miller, Hames, Sun, and Densberger but ahead of Knuckles. Stivrins has the lowest point rate in her limited appearances. |

Stivrins has the lowest point rate in her limited appearances. Thank you, I guess my assumptions on how they perform on serve is almost in line with the stats. For a libero Knuckles needs to serve much tougher, again just basing off what I remember but it seems that Miller has a tougher serve than Knuckles during her freshman year. |

Should these statistics ultimately account for the players blocking? For example, would the server be more aggressive with the serve if Nicklin is blocking?

Should these statistics ultimately account for the players blocking? For example, would the server be more aggressive with the serve if Nicklin is blocking? This is where it gets extremely complicated when trying to compare servers statistically. Three servers have the benefit of Nicklin in the backrow(both from a blocking and defense standpoint). Those servers being Nicklin, Lexi, and Kenzie. Megan, Madi, and Hayley (or Lauren) would be serving while Nicklin is in the front. So, from an agression standpoint it looks like no. You have two of the worst percentage servers along with the best serving while Nicklin is in the front row. That said, the Ace rates which you would think best represents actually says that the servers that are most aggressive say that the servers that are being the most aggressive are doing so while Nicklin is in the back row. That all said, I think that the best statistics to actually illustrate server aggression would be Transition Percentage (that percentage of times an opposing team gets a swing directly after serve) and First Attack Hitting Percentage (the hitting percentage of the transition attacks) and I can't give you those because up until this year, NCAA Play-By-Play didn't track touch by touch and even now most teams haven't adopted the new Play-By-Play format. One of those teams that hasn't is Nebraska. As are a number of other teams in the Big Ten. So in this instance, we have not but speculation. |

Stats are cool, but they don't tell the whole story. Was the player's serve able to create the results the Coach wanted?
Coach Cook knows his players best serves - the ones that they are most effective and comfortable with. He also knows which areas to attack in each of the opponents rotations. So sometimes the area to which the Coach wants to serve aligns with the current servers 'best serve' = service runs.
* tOSU used a front mid back-court serve in their win over Wisc. - a solid dropping serve into the front of Zone 5. Wisconsin looked pitiful, but has since corrected their serve receiving woes. Wisconsin then used that attack against the Huskers in their win. So: I look for tOSU to try the same serving attack against the Huskers to see if the Huskers have made the necessary corrections.

Washington still has a case for that 6th seed. i wouldn’t really want seventh seed either I don’t think they’ll get bumped to 8 or 9, just don’t see the committee placing Kentucky ahead of us. Best case scenario is the committee puts Pitt at 3 and we’ll land at 6, otherwise we’re looking at a Stanford or Texas regional. |

Crowd might be hostile towards her, and the crowd at Gregory can be rowdy, to say the least. But I guess I’ll take my chances at Texas much more than with Stanford, you just know that with a whole lot of seniors they’ll perform in the tourney, and of course, Plummer. |
