Hawks on the verge of imploding.

Markley last night and Holdem tonight. Playing Bailey in the front row gives up so many points.

0-8 with two on the road upcoming. Looking like a lost season.

I hope the staff can keep the team together. I know we all thought the team had a chance to take another step this year, but looks like that will not happen. Some winnable matches the rest of the way. They play hard, just can’t win a few points when it really matters in a set it seems.

I feel like at this point Coach Barnes should try new things in the line up. I mean at this point what do they have to lose. I think this line up could be interesting:
OH1 - Buettner MB1 - Davis OPP/S- Deery or Urqhart/Ortega OH2 - Morevac (Dennis or Cole if needed) MB2 - Hansen or Vesty S/OPP - Matteo/McSweeney L - Darling
Or
OH1 - Buettner MB1 - Davis OPP/S- Caspers/Ortega OH2 - Morevac (Darhling/Cole if needed) MB2 - McSweeney S/OPP - Matteo/Urqhart or Deery or Hansen L - Dennis
I’m havnt been super impressed with Dennis as Libero but she’s probably the best choice at this moment. I just thought one of these line ups would try something different but also give a bigger presence at the net. Thoughts?

I just thought one of these line ups would try something different but also give a bigger presence at the net. Thoughts? Setter - Mateo isn't ready. Her athleticism & blocking are much better than Bailey but her placement is poor & hasn't improved all season. Bailey probably doesn't even touch 9'10 so having her run a 5-1 is rough. DS/L - they all struggle in serve receive. Dennis is the best option. Middles - offensively no one can consistently set McSweeney, with the majority being much too low. Davis can hit the slide but isn't effective in front. Defensively Davis is better. They need more athleticism and quickness at this position. Moravec needs a DS but there doesn't seem to be one on the roster. She overpasses quite a bit but they've tried both Darling and Cole. Urquhart is going through a rough stretch. Barnes mentioned her not being healthy in a post match interview a few weeks ago & you can tell something is affecting her. Hanson has been in street clothes the past few weeks. Not sure what her situation is. Black & Deery are inconsistent and struggle OOS. From my perspective, this is a team that unfortunately just doesn't have enough talent in the backcourt or setter position to play winning volleyball. They are likely looking at 0-10 and who knows what the mindset of the team will be.

Let’s hope, the next week and a half or so will tell us a lot about the resiliency of the team.

Down 0-1 to Rutgers. This is a Rutgers team that finished the job against Minnesota that we were close to, so hoping for some back and forth in this match now.

They have a little fire back—really flat about the first set and 1/2

Rutgers leading pretty much every statistical category even though they’re down 1-2 EXCEPT… serving
Iowa - 8 aces, 3 errors Rutgers - 1 ace, 1 error
Hawkeyes very clearly winning the serve/pass game.
