Yeah, it is based in Columbus, Ohio, where they know Quick Hook U sometimes screws up with that (cc Jim Foster).

Juhnke has 70 attempts. Someone say a prayer for her shoulder.

USD takes it in 4 sets. Good match.

I have a feeling Denver will take it on their home court later in the season.

Certainly a reasonable assumption. In the first set, and occasionally afterwards, Denver was very adept at “save” digs, and kept things in play and in-system that by all rights should have been kills or blocks for The Yotes.

When Brianna Green got a clean set and a well-timed jump…. She was dropping Thor’s hammer on the Yotes. No chance of a response. The next match might be pretty epic.
