Thought Wenaas held up ok passing considering I counted 34 receptions, she really came through with such a heavy workload. Both teams had iffy setting much of the time. Overall was not thrilled with the serving although 7 aces with 8 SE is solid but thought on too many rotations Wisconsin was starting the offense with a perfect pass. But the defense and transition offense was much better than Wisconsin. Mari started like she showed all Spring. So happy to see her shine. Skinner was ok but most of the issues I saw were setting location. We know what she can do. Halter is well Halter, straight money, her passing and defense were elite IMO. I’m not sure what we’re getting from Binney from the service line. Not to pick on her, but she is a serving specialist. Ayden Ames had a serve at set point in the first set after we’d run out of subs (I assume). Her serve resulted in a free ball, then she assisted Skinner for the winner. I didn’t look through the match thread so it was certainly pointed out there, I’m sure, but I wanted to emphasize it. I also liked Singietary’s serves in the spring from what I saw. But we’re not seeing practice. I also know I’m typically slightly underwhelmed by our serving to some degree until late in the season, and then it seems like Elliott takes the governor off. Maybe that’s not the case, but it sure feels like it. Rella had a couple of nice serving runs. She's definitely a better defender than Ayden is, plus she's a setter so her secondary setting is great. And unlike a libero, she can use her hands anywhere, IIRC there were a couple of points where Averi/Ella picked up the dig and Rella stepped in.

wonder if ayden plays today My guess is Bunton starts. Let's see how she does and if it's tragic (no that I expect it) Ames can come off the bench. But otherwise, if we don't need her we should rest her. No sense risking injury unnecessarily

Per stats on the game page, we passed 2.36 against Wisconsin.
I'm not used to seeing these numbers for Texas. Are we risking the wrath of the gods

In what I saw of Minnesota they looked like a better team than the 2023 version. Game face on.

Concerning.
BUT. 23 service errors!

do we think Soah is going to play much if at all this season? My money is on no unless there’s a real gimme match that we’re winning. I think we brought her in to fill out the practice squad and get the Texas Experience

I would imagine she comes in during the blowouts here and there I didn’t know Columbia had a D1 team. I guess I just assumed they were D3 like their rival NYU
