I think possibly barnes too. should've been a first team AA in 2021 Barnes was fantastic but Roberta Holehouse and Alyssa D'Errico were a great tandem of sturdy passers, all out defenders and they affected the game from the service line if I'm remembering correctly. |

And Carpy! Ridiculous Magi-Carp was a cute national championship moment as well. Okay, I am finished derailing this match thread with Penn State history. |

And Krause is actually better blocker than both of them. Not according to Cook. When comparing Batenhorst and Krause he said Batenhorst was the better blocker. When did those words ever come out of his mouth? I’m quite certain they never have. The reason Krause was put on the right side the last two years is because she was/is the better blocker. |

I'm nervous, to be honest. Stafford is freakishly tough and slept on like crazy compared to Babcock, who is just as good with a great serve. it's going to be a battle of non-non factors lol can batenhorst get involved, can Berg distribute more to the middle, can our block close. and in contrast can we throw off klika, make VVG (love her tho a gorgeous six ro queen) be ineffective at service line and hit heavy negative. And last but not least, read Fairbanks and slow down the frosh !!! I think each team has great factors; I can't really see how anyone is a non-factor. Sure, Ally struggles with efficiency, but she does take out a lot of trash for the Huskers. She has to continue to manage her OOS offense and will need to terminate well when given chances in the system and hold her own in serve receive. Physically, she is capable of at least slowing down Babcock. If VVG pops off, that may force Ally to have to up her game even more. Of course, this scenario isolates the OH2 battle and is predicated on everyone else on both teams playing well. Babcock's serve could be a difference-maker, but I think the Husker passing line is more than up for the challenge which could put pressure on Olivia to feel like she has to do more from the service line. In my opinion, the true struggle within the battle will be the defenses. We will find out whose defense is queen for the night. I'm leaning towards Nebraska. Didn't mean that anyone is inherently a non-factor, but rather non-non factor lmao. doesn't really make sense, but i meant like neutralizing parts that could work for Pitt and making sure everyone on Nebraska's is involved and sharp |

Pitt served the life out of Debeer. I suspect they’ll be aiming for Murray on Thursday Thinking back to 2021 F4, and they served Rodriguez primarily. I suspect they’ll try to go for Choboy a bunch. All good choices and Pitt will try all 3 in vain. |

Have been feeling this way for awhile. It feels like he exaggerates things to boost some players who are struggling with confidence. Examples are Orr's setting last season, Jurevicious apparently hitting lights out in practice (I know she's a redshirt), Batenhorst a better blocker than Krause. Helps to boost morale of those on the bench, while stoking competitive fire in starters. Just my opinion. I do wonder if Caroline is actually super solid though From what we saw in the spring game and Brazil, she was for real good. Better than her recruiting rank indicated IMO. Expect her to be in the mix in 2024 for OH (or OPP if Beason moves to OH). |
