agean09 thanks for providing updates! what are your thoughts of the freshman so far? how’s parks’ connection with the hitters looking so far? I wish this was live-streamed I miss this team sm 😭 Parks looked pretty good to me, honestly. Decent connection when the passes were also decent lol. Definitely pushing a fast ball which worked for the most part with I Martin and ACF. Connection with KMart was really nice outside of a few. Rothe will be starting for sure. Vogel was good. McKissock was good. I think KMart ended with like 26 kills was second on the team with 11 or 12 digs. She’s gonna carry us again until the middles start connecting more

I don't mean this in a rude way but why was it super close with Georgia Southern? Or I guess a better way of putting it, what areas looked to need improvement?

Martin ended the match with 27 kills (.321) and 11 digs. You don't see that often for an exhibition game

They honestly didn't seem like a bad team by any means. Mary shuffled the lineup around a little bit. The starters were clearly the ones who played Set 1 which we played well in. From then on, things changed here and there. I would saying our passing dropped off a bit and the setting became a little predictable. Once we can get our middles involved more, I think we could be pretty dominant.

#25, OH for Georgia Southern! Honestly, I had a hard time following everyone, recording, and paying attention to the friend I came with lol. But she seemed like a go-to option for them, seemed comfortable. Didn't play the whole match though. Had some really nice swings from the left, right, and pipe.

Kidding but Martin is going to be a force again this year, and florida will definitely be able to lean on her heavily. Especially after she did it as a freshman and was able to get that valuable experience.

Did Hutson or Stucky see any court time?

Did Hutson or Stucky see any court time? Didn't warm up with the team, but were around.

I thought it was pretty established that Stucky wasn't coming back until at least end of September

I thought it was pretty established that Stucky wasn't coming back until at least end of September she’s been practicing with the team pretty actively from what I’ve seen/heard. I find it interesting she didn’t even warm up today

Some opinions from a different voice. No Stucky, Essix, Hutson or Gravlee. They were missed. OH, AC and Isabel for the most part. Both undersized and got most of their kills (10 for Isabel and 9 for AC) off opponents hands. Better teams will give them fits. Harden saw some action at OH, but was like a deer in the headlights. She got a couple of kills, tried 6 rotation for awhile but not that great a passer (yet). Rothe has a MB position sewed up. Still does some freshman things, but is the best of the bunch including Essix. Thomas and Auguste need repetitions in game situations. There's talent there, especially Auguste. OPP is Kennedy's for as long as she wants it. I got 27 kills 5 blocks and 3 aces! (new and improved serve). So there is no doubt who the Libero is, McKissock played the position in all 4 sets. Last two set wins were 25-23 and 19-17, not a real convincing outcome. Other random thoughts, Isabel might be the 6 rotation OH we need. You would think with the practice time we have had we would be further along n our development. We've got work to do. Georgia State will win a lot of matches. Rothe with 7 kills and 4 blocks could be a real go-to force in the middle. I. Martin, K. Martin, Parks and McKissock only four to play all 4 sets. Parks a little erratic at setter, but when you consider she's a freshman, she's running a good show. Final note: Our serving specialist acquitted herself very well when called upon to do so. That's Engel. Wish I could have kept hitting percentages.

All stats on Florida website including hitting percentages. Very interesting.
