Gotta clean up our serve/serve receive game and have cleaner block hands at the net. This is going to be a nail biter.

#9 OSU v #8 Georgia Tech

Nuts v. Buzzers

My gut tells me GT takes this one.

[vballfan17]

I think this will be a great match and will likely go 4 or 5 sets. I'd say OSU has the advantage at MB, S and L but GTech has the advantage at OH with OPP being close. I'm giving the Yellow Jackets a 3-2 victory, but only if Bergmann and Brambilla both have more than 20 kills. Otherwise, I think the Buckeyes take the W.

The advantage at setter? 🤨🤨🤨 idk about that and the advantage at OH is monumentally in GTs favor and Londot hasn’t been great this year so I think Brambilla and her aren’t exactly close

[Kingsley]

I figure Moore will still get the start at L1, but we'll see what happens after that.

I think Londot has been improving over the season, so if she can play to her full potential then the OPP battle can be close. And yes, I think OSU has the setter advantage and I think Michaela Chester would agree with me   lol

Yeah I think Moore & Bukilic will split time, but figured they may want the bigger block on Brambilla.

I agree that Podraza is better than Mckissock (but mckissock is pretty good) so it’s a slight edge. Bergmann is WAY better than Gonzalez or Moore, but I think they are both better than bertolino. And I think Brambilla has been better than Londot this year but Londot is still good. OSU middles are definitely better than GT middles. Overall this is gonna be a battle- but you win matches on the Pins so I’m gonna go with Georgia Tech in a battle!

[chatchu-off moksri]

I'm so excited for this match!!

[andrewwmic]

Fawcett and Wilson on each bench. Pretty cool.
