I asked this earlier when I realized MD was 12-0 against meh competition, but 12-0 nevertheless which is never easy, and had taken the first set off of WI, which was impressive -- what is MD's ceiling this season?

Tip of the hat to Rainelle Jones for sure. 11 blocks?! Wow.

After this amazing match, can Illinois figure out how to beat Wisconsin? 😜

Not just losing the 4th. Trailed 10-7 in the 5th, and won on eight straight points, 15-10 Was that also with Rettke in the front row? Yes. The whole "A team" on the floor: Orzol, Rettke and Robinson front row, Hilley, Barnes and Civita in back. I am simply bewildered.... |

Hilley - Rettke connection was rough at the end of the 5th. Announcers have made a point about how Rettke wants to be hitting the ball harder this year, but every set seemed just a little bit too high for her to take a full swing. Or she was a little late each time. Either way, definitely a few missed connections that could have changed the outcome. |

OMG!... After watching the Miss St. win over Florida I saw this and thought this was another Bloodbath week in PTW until I just saw this match was not one of the matches in PTW. publius probably felt this match was too much a gimme and left it off. LOL |

VT and AVCA polls and corresponding discussion/debates should be fun/crazy. And it's only Friday.

The terps have had crazy potential these past few years but have not seen much success. I am glad to see them performing well so far this season. I hope they can keep it up. I am excited to see how far Maryland can climb this year. Go Terps |

After this amazing match, can Illinois figure out how to beat Wisconsin? 😜 I would root for Wisconsin over Minnesota. They always could at Huff, especially with a quick turn around and a trip to Huff for an early Sunday match after a late Friday match versus Minnesota, but I would rather not face angry Badgers coming off a loss to the Gophers as an Illini fan. |

tbh this gives me Texas v Rice the last couple seasons vibes. Wisconsin will be fine.

She was setting behind hitters an trapping them. Some bad decisions, too. 🤷♂️ |

Passing sucked. Setting sucked. Demps should have played. We have no connection or offense with Smrek. Service errors were bad. MD had no middle offense and we still couldn't stop them.
