Thoughts on the OU match? Megan Wilson from OU was in beast mode hitting .400. Hitting & serve receive was subpar the first two sets for the Hawks. On a positive note, as poorly as they played they still had chances to win sets 2 & 3. Hopefully they'll get more production from the OH's as the season goes on. I just finished watching the game on the ESPN replay. Hawks had their chances but it looked like they were too careful and didn’t want to make errors. They have lots of firepower but the outsides couldn’t get anything going. Onabanjo on the right was a beast. Big things coming from her. The middles were pretty effective but Jones wasn’t as involved as I thought she would be. Probably because passing was subpar. At times the passing was really good but overall not consistent enough. Urquhart looked like she lit it up the 1st two matches but didn’t have a good match vs OU. The blocking and defense is much improved but they didn’t serve OU out of offense enough. Again, seemed to careful. Overall 2 wins and a setter who can make a huge difference should give the Hawks some bigtime hope.

Based upon Coach Barnes' quote below, I'd say he felt the same way! “It’s disappointing for our team. We were excited to play Oklahoma, and we just didn’t consistently play aggressive. We had a good serving game, but we were tentative which surprised me. I thought we would come out too aggressive, but we were a little tentative. Oklahoma played really aggressive and we weren’t able to flip it on them. We learned a lot though; when we play aggressive, we can match up with anyone. We will learn from that lesson. Two and one on the weekend, and we will learn from all three matches.”

The freshman Shelton was solid too. Nice building blocks for OU’s future. For the Hawks, they need more depth on the outside. Hard to win without a terminal left pin. Don’t know why Hansen left. Could have used her off the bench. Maybe the undersized hitters lost their legs by game three. All were even or negative for the match. On TV, they looked much improved from last year, but without another pin, imo B1G wins will be tough.

Hey Hawkeye fans! I wanted to see if you could help me out with a lineup prediction for the Hawks in this weekend's tournament. I put together a match thread for the Pac-12/Big Ten Challenge in Colorado and would like to include a likely lineup, from setter all the way through to serving specialist. And here's a link to that tournament thread: Pac-12/B1G Challenge | Washington-Colorado-Illini-Iowa 9/3-4Thanks!

(someone more educated than me please feel free to chime in) I think we see something like: Setter: Tessier Opposite: Onabanjo (DS Dennis?) Outside: Urquhart Outside: Vander Weide Middle: Jones Middle: McSweeney (SS Schmidt?) Libero: Hinkle I saw we started the Oklahoma match in a 6-2 but then abandoned it. I didn’t get to see the full thing so I could be way off.

I didn’t get to see the full thing so I could be way off. They tried a 6-2 both days and scrapped it fairly quickly. I think this is the lineup with the possible exception of Darling replacing Dennis for Onabanjo if she's back from injury.

A good weekend for Hawkeye volleyball Disappointed end in a loss to Ok, but obviously some good take aways A 5-1 is the only way this team succeeds this year Setter: Tessier Opposite: Toy Outside: Urquhart - I could see both OH’s struggle to score against bigger blocks so, I’m keeping Black and Schmidt ready Outside: Vander Weide Middle: Jones Middle: McSweeney Libero: Hinkle
Go Hawks - I’m thinking we beat a Pac-12 team this weekend!

I think you’ve got it right for the most part. This was the primary lineup this past weekend. Washington played some but not good results. The Leftside is the critical position to figure out it seems. 1 win would be huge.

Fairly quiet on the recruiting front. The quiet period ends 9/1 so possibly some action then? Random tidbit that probably means absolutely nothing🤣...2023 football recruit Zack Ortwerth has a 2026 sister Lauren, who plays for HPSTL and was named to the AVCA phenom list this past year.

Very cool that Xtream Arena is gaining notoriety as a focal point for women's athletics in Iowa.

Onabanjo in a boot and on crutches. So sad to see.
