As long as they can beat Stanford, I don’t care if they worn the ugliest uniform in the world.

Ok, the important topic of this match: UCLA uniforms. The conclusion I can draw, is that some people are convinced they are gray, and others, like, me, are convinced there is a lot of green in them. Of course, gray covers a lot of ground for some people. I sit pretty close, and I was seeing green. In the later sets without Oglivie, I was seeing even more green. I spoke to UCLA assistant coach Eric. Oh, my. This is a TABOO subject!!! He is not allowed to give an opinion, guess, or any adjective regarding the color of the uniform. He turned even paler when I broached the subject. He says it is above his pay grade. Sounds very political to me. Are they not allowed to use non-school colors? I have never heard anything like that. I suppose calling them gray would be the safe, neutral play. Whatever color it is, it's not aesthetically pleasing. Agreed. Can’t for the life of me understand what the girls see in them. Don’t players/captains choose what they want to suit up in that game day? |

I had to go to work when Stanford was leading 2-1. Now I come back to see UCLA had a reverse sweep. Stanford was 2-0 with Oglivie and 0-3 without her, so I guess that settles the questions about the Stanford back row.
What I can't believe is that UCLA won this match while hitting .161! Stanford hit .227, had 20 blocks and lost.
Mac May stayed negative the whole match.
Basically Charitie Luper was the only offense UCLA had, and it was enough.

I don't think Stanford's loss can solely be blamed on Oglivie leaving the match. Baird did not play well. Many times Stan's backrow, even with Berty back there passed the ball up perfectly fine, but Baird and Francis did not putt the ball away, making many errors. UCLA just kept fighting and never gave up. Time for Stanford to regroup and reset for next weekend.

A little better execution at the right time and we probably win one of those sets and win the match. Set 5 was pretty much a disaster though. Stanford probably has a pretty good chance to win both matches next weekend without Oglivie, but hopefully she's not out of the lineup for more than those two matches. |

I didn't get to watch the match and didn't want to read the results until I watch it. But I couldn't find the VDO even until now. So I checked in and realized that UCLA reversed-swept us. What a shame for the team but I am sure they would learn a lot.
I think perhaps the hitters couldn't be faulted for all the results. What about the setting? I didn't see the match so I couldn't tell what went wrong. The question came to my head because the quarterback was the setter. She fed to the hitter. Did Miner make good decisions? Or perhaps the passing/defense was poor so that she couldn't only make those decisions based on what were given to her.
I hope Oglivie is ok. I was quite critical with Oglivie in terms of her reaction to the balls. I do think her passing is good. But her digging and chasing down the balls need improvement (of course when compared to the legendary Hentz whose floor coverage was fantastic and we were all spoiled when she was around.) Get well soon.

Miner's location was fine.
Decision making? Not bad, but can improve. Still, that is not important as location, imo.
She set hittable sets, but hitters were off.
Not just hitting into the block, but hitting way out of bounds.
Francis was just off, period. Form was not good today.
Back row was a mess without Oglivie.
I mean, Bertie as a DS?
Lougeay and Beaven running into each other.
We are in trouble.

So what is the concussion protocol? I should know this (but I don't). Do they know on first evaluation whether or not a concussion actually occurred? Or do they not know until after the game, and she sits out of precaution? If when they do the evaluation and assess that she didn't actually suffer a concussion, does that mean she's cleared? Or does she have to sit and be observed before she can play again? And if she was in deed concussed, isn't that a months long ordeal to recover?

But of course they still didn't do much when the sets were good. |

Lougeay and Beaven running into each other. We are in trouble. This reminded me that when Hentz was given the area half the court to chase down the balls. Players didn't know who had the priority in this case. Benven was a Rookie. I could totally see the defense running or cutting off each other. You either defend your zone. The rest give the Libero to roam free to cover the blocks or chase down the balls that are not in other DS zones. |
