Probably too early for any match to be a must-win, but this is almost a must-win for UW.

For whatever reason, UCLA doesn’t really show up against Washington especially at Washington. UW takes this one I think

UW: Hoffman & Sanders not 100%, Cook tinkering around with line-ups. Dreschel is not injured but is struggling this season, will she play OH with Bush at OPP? Where does Endsley fit into this? She also struggled against WSU and was benched after set 1.
Bays may have taken the starting libero spot with Crenshaw playing DS. Will she be an OH option? If not rotating in the front row she could at least attack on the bic to give a couple points here and there.
edit; it appears Dreschel is also injured

In sets 4 and 5 against WSU, I saw glimpses of the huskies we were used to seeing, Dreschel got it going and the team had some big blocks.

How is ucla ranked 15 when they got absolutely handled by USD? They're the only team to beat Georgia Tech this season so far too (and of course beat Stanford). Two pretty good wins + a 5-set loss on the road to a T25 team.. doesn't seem far-fetched at all. It's very strange you choose to question UCLA and not Washington. Washington has 3 losses and their best win is Pepperdine and now has losses to Washington State and Utah (both of whom have losses to Mountain West conference teams). I think UCLA has a better case to a higher ranking than Washington, that's just me. |

I think UCLA has a better case to a higher ranking than Washington, that's just me. UCLA didn't just beat GT. They "absolutely handled them" hitting .289 to .110! Both teams were messy in the USD match but UCLA outhit the Toreros too. Washington is really struggling to score on their serve, winning just 37.7% of their service points in 2 Pac matches. |

How do we know why Endsley was benched? How do we know Dreschel is injured...looked fine in the 4th and 5th set vs WSU. Sometimes box scores don't always tell the story on why someone gets "benched" or not. I personally like the line up we saw in the 2nd set (Endsley, Bush, Summers, Hoffman, Grote, Bays, EMP and Crenshaw DS).....but that line up was not in place the rest of the match. It was however a nice look at the future for this program. Is it possible that this team has struggles that no one knows about?? The only thing that is certain is they are not playing at the level they were last year. The reason...not sure anyone knows including the Coaches unfortunately. I do know that they will continue to work their tails off and try to regain last years form. The speculation at times on this forum is a bit out of hand. But as it has been said before....isn't that what forums are for? I also know that without the group that went to the final four last year playing at a higher level...it could be a very long year. The last thing I know is that I will be at the matches this weekend, wearing my colors, and cheering hard for the Dawgs....no matter who is on the court! |
