I'm liking our two newest passers, Averie and Christy! They've both looked pretty good in SR.
Laynie and Ashlyn both looking super comfortable in the lineup, too!

Channel 3 had a short story about the two wins last week. While the reporter talked about the wins, they show video…of last year’s team. Lol. Obviously, no one went to the games.

Oh look, the News-Gazette published another feature article this morning about the women's basektball program (whose season doesn't start for another two months). Still nothing about the women's volleyball wins over the weekend. "News" is clearly a misnomer for this publication.

Got our tournament thread live for this weekend's matches at Iowa State:
My preference is to wait until our next match is finished before making the next match thread but this tournament starts on Thursday- had to get it created. Go Illini!

So is that 12 kills in any set, or 12 kills in all sets?

Kams is only good for their shark bowls 😂 I have no idea what that is but I’ll go with. Back in my day it was just a bar across from KAT. We drank tap beer and the floor was permanently sticky.

I graduated 3 years after you - the shark bowls(fish bowls) were giant blue cocktails with multiple straws I preferred Murph's.

An ugly win but I’ll take it. A big weekend coming up with 3 matches n a row. Id really like to see this team 6-0 on Monday.
The Smith/Philipot duo is gonna carry us for the next 4 years. This team can score in every rotation. We no longer need Raina to shoulder 70% of the offense. Now we need to fix the setting.

This match was giving me PTSD from nonconf games of recent seasons but glad we were able to pull it out. Rough second set and first half of the fourth set but nonetheless we rallied.
Not a ton of new thoughts. I still stand firm that sets to Raina need to be much higher. I know some will disagree, but the connection isn't working and it has worked SO well in previous seasons. I just don't see a point in even trying to speed it up when she is more than capable of hitting over a block. I do like the speed with Averie though.
CMM is the best defensive player we've got. If Tamas doesn't see that, I don't know what else to say. Once again, she recorded double the amount of digs as Barnes while playing roughly half the time. Anyone watching the match can see who should be wearing the lib jersey...I really hope he gives her a shot soon.
On the bright side, loved seeing the balanced offensive distribution tonight! Not so much pressure on Raina to put the team on her back. & my goodness are our freshmen are good. Philpot is no joke. Onto this weekend.

Can actually see it as I type from my post game Green Street victory dinner : )
