So, I'm doing this for a second week.
Home tournament, but I will be down in Madison, WI starting Friday, so I'll only be able to watch the Tommies on Thursday.
I will be able to stream the St Thomas matches if I get the Summit League Subscription. (Which, hmm, I just did)

I'm pretty sure I have the rosters and lineups matching with what each team did for their first match of week 1. I'm figuring that this will be closest to what they want, since subsequent matches were often just a bit later in the same day.

Interesting that the Tommies' three opponents this tournament all seem to be running a 6-2 offense.

Thank you, JT, for the work you put into this!
It looks fantastic.

Well, my sister caught Covid so I probably won't be going down to Madison. Good thing I got season tickets for the Tommies!

[JT]

Got here late.. MT State up 17-12. UST is a Pepsi house with diet Dew!!!!

[JT]

If anyone else is here I am on the non-student end court near the players.

[JT]

Starting set 2 7-1 is a whole lot better. Tommies are scrambling to keep things in play.

[JT]

11-9 is a not so good follow-on.

[JT]

19-18 after back to back MT State aces.

[JT]

21-25... Tommies need the proverbial reverse sweep.

[permagrin]

You will be harder to spot without the ear hat! Sorry to hear about your sister hope she recovers fast

[JT]

Bummer.

Tommies had an Elle, Ella, Ellie, and Allie in their rotation, along with a Megan and Morgan.

Probably says more about the popular baby names 2000-2005 than anything else.

Anything stand out to you, personnel-wise? Standout performers?

Dangitall, non-playing teams, why do you have to take up endcourt seating to eat supper?!? MTSU, I'm talking to you! UW-Milwaukee got it right, and is sitting in the chairbacks on the side!
