You don't think OLYMPIAN Tamari Miyashiro was a "true libero"? I also thought Shayne McPherson was quite good.

Don't get excited. You can think whatever you want Mike. I frankly don't give a %*$#. Lauren Bays is the real deal for a libero and I frankly don't give a %*$# if you care or not.

I’m pretty sure Mike wasn’t hating on Bays, he was wondering what you thought of Miyashiro (a standout libero) and McPherson (ok, all things considered). Frankly he should have also mentioned Orlandini. The point is that Washington has had quality players don the L jersey since Lee.

I knew I was forgetting somebody! Funny thing is, she was actually my favorite, so it's strange I forgot to mention her.

Emoni Bush was in warm-ups. No Dani Cole, anywhere.

ASU had the misfortune of catching UW following the UCLA match. Nothing like a loss to inspire a renewed dedication to passing and defense. Pretty much the Claire and Sam Show. The one down-note was that Endsley is still struggling.

"Rarely does this group have two tough ones in a row, and I think the defensive intensity is what I enjoyed most," said Head Coach Keegan Cook. "There was a real commitment from start to finish to be great on that side of the ball."

"I thought Lauren Bays was pretty fantastic back there (in serve-receive). A lot of balls came her way and she was ready for it and responded and kept the ball on our side of the net. I thought the serve-and-pass was in our favor from the very beginning, and you're going to win a lot of matches when that happens."

“From the very first assignment, it felt like we were on top of what we were doing,” head coach Keegan Cook said. “Just felt like pressure from start to finish that we were administering.”

“Something I try not to take for granted in this team is their ability to respond,” Cook said. “The defensive intensity is what I enjoyed most from the group. It was a real commitment from start to finish on that side of the ball.”

How come Endsley played better spring? I don’t think it’s a setting issue, seems like she’s more tentative this fall.

Also I hope Cole moves on after this year so that we can use up her schollie.

ASU bench yelling stuff like Ella tie your shoe when EMP serves lol

So classless, they were yelling Sianna's name too & overall just being completely unsportsmanlike on all UW serves. I also can't believe Sanja allows her team to do that kind of crap.

I'm fairly confident that Arizona will play better defense on Sunday, but I'm not sure they have the arms to really give UW a problem. We shall see.

Well they played terrible tonight against WSU, but it's true AZ typically has good defense. Hiapo is pretty solid, but AZ shouldn't give UW much of a problem imo.

I remember watching that one and saying "she had 3 feet of line to hit and went cross-court?"

Why do you consider it classless? I wasn't at the match, so I don't know what exactly they were yelling. 
But I thought those kind of engagement from the bench was innocent and sometimes fun as long as it wasn't personal attacks.

That was one of the best points of the season. How about Sam's dig midway through? It was fun to see the players' faces after this one -- they all looked like they'd just run a marathon.

It's a good question (re: Endsley) and I'm sure if Cook & Co knew the answer, we'd either see a lot more of Madi or a lot less. Maybe just chalk it up to sophomore (or second season) slump. I agree that half the battle, or more, is mental. She is questioning what she is doing at the net. You could see she was displeased with a lot of her own net play last night. To me, that's a good sign, a recognition that she knows she is capable of better. She really did get hold of a few sets, however, and that heavy arm is something to behold. Like I said before, I think she needs more game experience. If she can improve in the AZ match, that will be a good sign.

Did you actually see Bush take hitting practice? I didn't see the entire warmup, but she was just shagging balls (along with Emma Calle and Maeve Griffin) when other Huskies were taking hitting practice while I was watching. Hence my conclusion that she likely has a minor injury.

One of these days I'll learn not to make technical mistakes when quoting others on this board.
