These announcers 😐. “Setters have to jump a certain way”.

LHE and Chelsea Goodman in the crowd.

Nice. Chelsea Goodman is one of the former players that I actually know from when I was in college. She was really good.

Kennedy "Eye"schenberg and Kate "Grime"er. I feel better about messing up peoples' names.

How does someone mess up Grimmer's name? Well, I guess you explained how they said it, but that's a really easy name to pronounce.

Yeah I cringed

At least he figured out she isn't Gretchen Reinert by her second kill. Neither had any idea that Grimmer was a starter last year and saw plenty of action last year.

Starter? Grimmer was on the All-WCC First Team. I guess they didn't know that Grimmer had 24 kills in two matches against Gonzaga last year.

That would be expecting a lot from these two who clearly had not done their homework or enough of it prior to the broadcast. I thought at first it was just jitters, but it became clear very quickly that other than gushing over practically every play, they had little to contribute to the broadcast. I hope for their sakes they realize they need to be better prepared the next time they go on air. I did appreciate their enthusiasm for the play-making, but it got old very quickly.

Santa Clara 3-1 over San Francisco 25-22, 25-17, 21-25, 25-16.

Sangiacomo had 18 kills hitting .278 for SCU
Richardson had 16 kills hitting .222 for USF

USF remains winless on the year.

[Zazu]

Well San Francisco did win a set this time around, but still loses to Santa Clara, 3-1 (25-22, 25-17, 21-25, 25-16). They are down to their last two home matches against Portland and Gonzaga next week. Those matches are realistically their last two shots at winning a match this season, since they play at Pepperdine, Loyola Marymount, and Saint Mary's to end the season.

bayarea , I've got to work on my timing. I always seem to post the same thing right after you.
