Really cool "meet the team" posts, kiyoat! I might have to steal that idea for my own match threads... |

Set 1 is complete. Denver led 24-21. Omaha, then scored the next five points and won 26-24. Both teams with a very high hitting percentage.

Denver should be better than this. Stone should be an upgrade.

Really cool "meet the team" posts, kiyoat! I might have to steal that idea for my own match threads... Thanks! It wasn’t too hard. I just copy-pasted from each teams’ pregame articles, removing the stuff that isn’t about individual players, then added roster pics. I found that only doing one image on a line works better for viewing in “mobile” mode. I could have used smaller images, I suppose… |

Omaha wins set 3 25-22 and sweeps Denver in Denver. Shayla McCormick had 15 kills for Omaha, hitting .379. Brianna Green had 11 kills for Denver. I guess that puts the “is Green injured?” Question to bed. Either Stone was experimenting with lineups or resting B Green and H Green against St Thomas and Western Illinois… Huge road win for the Mavs at high altitude! Now they will get all the tough teams at home in the back half of the season (except NDSU). Hogan predicted that this re-made Denver team would need some time to gel with a new staff, so Pios fans will just have to be patient. |
