I went into this season, after spring, hopeful after seeing that the Hawks appeared stronger at the net--all pin hitters better and middle at least equal to last year's team. I think all of our concerns centered around passing first, and consistent setting second. Those concerns have plagued the Hawks. They play hard, seem to enjoy each other and the staff, but have lapses at the worst times in the areas above. Let's hope some consistency develops. With their second half schedule, if they continue to improve, they are destined to win matches.

Maybe they catch PSU looking ahead to Nebraska on Saturday. A split is badly needed. I would expect a DS to be utilized more for Moravec. Will be interested to see what the line-up looks like Friday.

Penn State & Michigan State on the docket this week. We’ll see. I think Iowa will take MSU. Iowa’s play has clearly been improving, (but so has MSUs). Still think Iowa will win.

Besides Illinois, MSU is the first match in this string where you think, okay this one definitely could swing our way. It does feel like we’re “due” that any given day match around this point.

Even with Mateo's struggles, they can't keep Ortega as a front row setter

Even with Mateo's struggles, they can't keep Ortega as a front row setter Ortega with the 5-1 in set 1, 14-25. Buettner got 11 of their 22 attack attempts and hit .000 Penn State 16 kills on 25 attempts with 2 errors, hitting .640 in the 1st.

Is Urquhart injured? Ortega still in the 5-1, 18-25 in the 2nd.

Swept again. Unfortunately Larry Bird isn't walking through that door.
