Ugh. The game I had hoped wouldn't get scheduled. Of course, it seemed to give the team a kick in the shorts losing to them.
Sparse facts:
2019 (Houston): Rice 9 blocks. Leading blockers: Morgan(4), Brown(3), Adekunle(3)
Texas 8 blocks. Leading blockers: Phillips(4), Fields(4), Eggleston(3), O'Neal(3)
Rice 74 digs Texas 66 digs
2021 (Austin): Rice 10 blocks. Kostelecky(6), Courtley(3)
Texas 9 blocks. Butler(7), Fields(3)
Rice 67 digs Texas 50 digs
Yup, they constantly dig out our shots and just wear us down to the 5th set.
Sigh

Didn't Parra play outside during this match last year with Fields playing on the right?

Rice has had a lot of missed opportunities and I really feel for them as covid took away their chance last season to make noise in the tourney, but I think they haven’t found that same spark this fall. Texas in a sweep

Didn't Parra play outside during this match last year with Fields playing on the right? yup. Mel hit .323 and Skylar hit .190. after this match, Texas moved Skylar to the left and Molly to the right. also, Nalani was libero for this match. interestingly, it was after this match that I thought our defense improved drastically. |

Rice is going for their third straight win in the series, no?

Texas just needs to keep giving Rice $20 tips all match long and they'll eventually wear down.

Rice is going to avenge the football team.

Brionne is going to go off this game, and when the match is finished she’s going to join the team huddle on the court😌 then we won’t have to hear posters talk about her “bad attitude”🙃

Bri never has a bad attitude. Where did you hear that? Some posters spread a rumor she was frustrated and had a bad attitude after she left the court one play during the Rice match last year. It was a bunch of... nothing. |
