And proceeds to get stuffed by a 5’ 11” OH. SMDH. A full speed Smrek is going to help on Saturday vs Eva Hudson. She's got a ways before she it full speed on the last set's evidence. GG and Franklin really stepped up the last two sets. Hart was great throughout. The badgers looked a lot less sloppy today. They were able to keep points in control. Also, all elements of the offense got used. The times the badgers had the hardest time is when the ball was being forced off the setters hands on the run to the left side. |

Another match, another pronunciation note. As someone of Norwegian descent, it’s bugging me how they’re pronouncing Kjolhede, but it wouldn’t surprise me if someone in her lineage decided to pronounce it like the broadcasters are. Carry on… How would a native Norwegian pronounce it? SHOAL-HEY-DA is as close as I can describe it. KJ is closer to an SH sound. I’ll let the E at the end of her name go, but that KJ pairing is uniquely Norwegian. /end rant 😁 |

GG and Franklin really stepped up the last two sets. GG especially was outstanding. She was flying in to save some balls like Barnes would. It’s great to see her getting comfortable and being the player some of us envisioned that she could be. Hope she continues to develop and make some crazy saves! |

Friend of a friend, so I got pretty used to the KJ sound.) |

Also, the sounds apparently differ a lot between regions within scandinavia. And Minnesota/Wisconsin is basically how they said it in the 1800s. |

some people do change the sound of their name.
I worked in a county where the DA was of Portuguese decent and his name was Soares. That is basically the Portuguese spelling of Suarez. He pronounced it, well, Soars, like he was ashamed of his heritage. He was first generation American so the connection to Portugal was close.
Anyway, Hart sure looked the Hart we saw last year!
Orzol has been struggling of late.

And the jump should be called the Gulce Gulp. Arias was asking for names so there is my offering. Izzy taking a big gulp of GG. Now does GG know what gulp means? It's a weird word. |

Orzol has been struggling of late. But Orzol did lead the team in digs and had 5 blocks. Haworth with 15 swings balanced against 22 assists. Indiana played hard, they are definitely not a pushover this year, I like it. |

Those in Minnesota/Wisconsin spoke what was dominant at the time, which was Danish when my ancestors came over in the 1850’s. Norway didn’t even have an official written language until they gained independence… one of many interesting things I learned in 3 semesters of taking Norwegian, but yeah… very little of it has been useful.

From uwbadgers.com:
Head Coach Kelly Sheffield
"I thought Danielle was pretty much unstoppable. We probably could have gotten her the ball a little bit more and I thought her physicality increased as the match went on. She's worked hard, and so have all our middles, there is more comfortable going to them than maybe what we saw earlier in the year."
Regarding the next match-up between Purdue:
"It's an opportunity to try to get ourselves back in that conversation. Its also been a team where it has been a while since we have beaten them, so there's opportunity in there for us going into the Boiler freezer."

DAMN! What a rally! Franklin runs the ball down and then GG nearly plows over Sheff, and then a wicked cover ball to a back row attack. I LOVE IT! Great minds Rainbow…I tweeted something similar and Kelly replied “Nope” |

Danes don't use the soft K like the Swedes/Norwegians do! |

Orzol has been struggling of late. Struggling offensively, she's been very good defensively. It does appear to me that besides Smrek, Orzol is the one most affected by inconsistent setting. For Orzol being a "smaller" hitter, I do think it may be harder to adjust to setting variance vs others. Smrek's issues appear very different as I believe she needs to adjust her swing and keeps trying to swing the same regardless of set. I have been quite impressed with Ozrol's blocking as of late considering her size. |

Also, I was told the Danes do it wrong. Danes don't use the soft K like the Swedes/Norwegians do! I spent a fair bit of time in Denmark a few years ago, hanging with a friend who is fluent in Danish. (She actually moved to Denmark, learned Danish, and got her Danish law degree there!) We came upon some tourists who asked her a question and they talked for a few minutes. After the conversation she said they were speaking Norwegian, and she was speaking Danish, but the languages are similar enough that they could understand each other. Later we took the ferry across from Helsingør (Denmark, site of Hamlet's castle) to Helsingborg (Sweden), and she was able to navigate for us by speaking Danish with the Swedes. Scandinavian languages are cool AF. |
