Charlie: 13 points scored, 10 times serve lost Charlie has great potential as a server. Just really need to learn to limit the SEs. She came in with 9, and today had 4 more. But when she gets in a groove it is a very tough serve. Anytime she's scoring more points than the number of times she's lost her serve, I will not care how many SE's she has.

I'm not sure if Smrek is injured or the other setters for Wisconsin are actually not worthy of setting a D1 team, but I think it's kind of crazy that we haven't seen a 6-2, or at least a double sub yet so far this season, at least to see the effectiveness.

We have...in set 3 v TCU we ran it extendedly. We have also done it for a couple of points here and there. Carly Anderson....is not good to put it mildly.

Play Trinity vs Milwaukee? Who needs rest more ? Yes, even for just one set. Sarah’s arm may fall off before the postseason if she keeps tallying 64+ attempts a match, and is not fully recovered from her injury. It’s a long season and OH is obviously the thinnest spot.

I think during the last timeout Sheff asked Smrek if she was ok and she nodded yes. At least that’s the way I saw it and they are taking it easy with her. It seemed Robison was tired at the end. Being on the bench must be injury related. She dominated during the short time she was on the floor this weekend. It is.

I need a reporter to ask Sheff why is Anna Smrek on the bench because that's now 2 times we've came back with her back in. Tonight, there was practically no time to do it Let's just say she's less than 100%.

I am baffled by no Smrek until so very late. At the least, it should have been slide Devyn to middle and Smrek at opposite for the 5th set. Not that Booth did anything wrong, etc. but c'mon!! Don't be baffled. I'd say it's "use only in case of emergency" with her right now. I'd be shocked if she played against Milwaukee and that will give her 10 days to heal up even more and hopefully she'll be good to go. At first was supposed to be a minor injury to my understanding but obviously more, or more likely got aggravated playing too much too early in the big early matches.

They are only using her if they absolutely have no other choice, and only put her in when she is likely to play for a limited time. Ding, ding, ding... We have a winner! 😃

Anytime she's scoring more points than the number of times she's lost her serve, I will not care how many SE's she has. After watching the highlight replay, I need to put an addendum on my previous statement... adding "so long as they're not in a 5th set".

Going into a 5th set to avoid a reverse sweep qualifies as an "emergency". As is evidenced by her playing during that 5th set. Heck, vs TCU she played the entire 4th set and 5th set. As I said, IMO she should have started the 5th set instead of waiting until they were down 12-8 or whatever it was.

I hope she reposts this on her IG tonight. Very well deserved! She did, and her other story posts were TEAM oriented. Stoked to see that and see her grow in her role at L.

My son is in the Illinois marching band so I was at the Kansas-Illinois football game last night, checking the volleyball score all night on my phone... Was depressed and filled with dread seeing it go 5 sets, then when the score got to 14-11 I had reached acceptance with the loss. Pure joy and shock after that! This is the type of win that can really do a lot of good mentally, man they needed that!
Haven't watched the match yet, really looking forward to seeing the 5th set!

He seems much more likely to let the team figure it out on their own, in hopes he doesn’t have to make a move like that, but won’t hesitate to pull that trigger.
