USA Stats: Robinson: 10k, 5 error, 28 att (.179); 1 blk; 1 ace; 15 digs Larson: 8k, 2 error, 31 att (.194); 1 blk; 1 ace; 14 digs Drews: 9k, 4 error, 25 att (.200); 2 blks; 12 digs Akinradewo: 8k, 3 error, 14 att (.357); 1 blk; 2 digs Dixon: 3k, 1 error, 11 att (.182); 2 aces; 3 digs Hancock: 3k, 5 att (.600); 2 aces; 11 digs; 34 assists Wong-Orantes: 14 digs Reception Stats: Wong-Orantes: 9 successful, 5 so-so, 14 attempts (64.3%) Larson: 7 successful, 5 so-so, 12 attempts (58.3%) Robinson: 9 successful, 10 so-so, 19 attempts (47.4%) Kelsey had a slow start (first match), but really heated up in every facet of the game as the match went on. In general, our serving and defensive pressure really impacted the Dutch and their serving couldn't dent this passing lineup. Yeah but Robinson's empty swings are perennially terrible, even on good sets, and enhance opponent transition. |

I wonder if Karch is even considering SWP/KP on the right side. Kinda thought that leaving Lowe at home meant we might see some tinkering, but looks like he’s sticking with JT/Drews.

If he's going to tinker this VNL, tomorrow's the day.

Was Jamie Morrison even mentioned once? no. I’m disappointed |

I thought she had some good swings especially on the bic in transition, but yeah she's not going to be as offensively dominant. |

If he's going to ever tinker this VNL, tomorrow's the day.
KP’s passing (small sample, but still) didn’t look good enough to push the core 4, although I wish she would be given a chance to push for a right side spot. I like SWP as a dark horse OH pick but I’d like to see more of her as well. |

3-0 finish for the USA. I mean this in the most respectful way possible, but I wonder who Karch will start against the cannon fodder tomorrow (I love you Thailand please don't hate). Maybe JWO can start at setter I mean it's disrespectful to Thailand (who I like) but if we can put an outside at libero then we can put a libero at setter  . I vote Carlini for right side, JWO for setter, and then set 2 back to normal |

I only tuned in second set and what I saw of Hancock is what I always see of Hancock. She's good but not great. |

I’m confused by the idea that attack pct only indicates the quality of setting? I’m not advocating for Hancock or making any comment on her setting, just pointing out what I thought would be obvious that several things are determiners of attack pct. |

It's very subjective to only look at hitting percentages. Maybe the sets / decisions were good and the hitters made terrible decisions, or maybe the sets / decisions were bad and the hitters couldn't do anything about it? |
