Fell 26-28 in a back and forth set. We had way too many errors at the end. Serving a problem today for us… collectively, I’m not sure Jackie Taylor or Zoe Behrendt have landed a serve in yet today.

Swept. We looked horrible in the last half of the third set.
We cannot pass. Apart from May and Bohlinger, our passers are so flat footed it’s crazy. And when we do pass our offense is too one dimensional. Defensively, we aren’t quick enough with Mabrey in the backrow.
Rough.

That was rough. We have no strategy and fundamentals are weak. My biggest issue is that we have no will. Alas

I do acknowledge everyone has a right to their own opinion and should have a forum to express it; whether others agree or not with that opinion. Trolls are expected online. That is my biggest issue is negativity towards young adults without proof of knowledge. To flatly state this team and its coaches have no strategy and their fundamentals are weak is extremely juvenile and does indicate without any foundation. Please enlight the group with your knowledge of why this is so. The staement does show a fundamental lack of knowledge of the difference of play this season versus last. To accuse a group of athletes having no will is vicious, mean spirited and to me . Maybe you saw no will today, reference their last match; they fought through and won despite being hitting .079 and out blocked 18 to 7. Perhaps you should offer your wisdom and expertise as a volunteer coach or raise $600K or so to buyout the existing contacts and start over again

I’m really sorry, I didn’t say anything about having no will. I thought they played hard. And I’m not trying to troll anyone. I felt like mentioning the flat-footedness was more of a a specific eval of what I was seeing and not saying they don’t have fundamentals. And the comment on being one-dimensional is on the coaching. I don’t want it to come across like I’m trolling them… I think they are playing harder this year than last year… and I think they are better this year than last year, but I see some glaring areas that should be worked on. Apologies again if it seems like I’m trolling them. That is not my intention at all.

Pretty simple why we lost....we had 40 kills to 20 errors. SC had 41 Kills with only 13 errors. We had more attempts to put the ball away and we either hit out or into the net or got blocked. We can compete, BUT we cannot error like we have been. We also let them his over .300. As stated, our back row is struggling to defend in transition. You can easily see the connection with the middles is still very much a work in progress.
I love Safi....but she has 6 kills to 9 errors. Emani had 9 kills to 7 errors. Mabrey actually hit .436. Is Peymon actually unavailable or we trying to get Safi on the floor?
Things do not get easier with Lipscomb and Kansas State....neither are slouches.

Yardimci was wearing a jacket the entire game yesterday so it seemed like she was unavailable.

It's a mix... most of the set she gets block on are fast but low... when they are a bit higher, she does much better. It's a common issue that fast does not mean low... We need to elevate some of the sets going out there. But, when they are low, you have to do something else than hitting it as hard as you can. Tipping into the block for an easy dig in coverage is much smarter.

Tipping into the block for an easy dig in coverage is much smarter. That is my gripe....Safi can hit over ANY block. You can run fast but you have to run higher. Emani simply just tries to overpower. That doesnt work against P5 teams. IN her defense, RS is also very different than LS.

Swept Lipscomb yesterday. Down 1-0 to Kansas State so far today. Got off to a slow start and pushed to extra points but our tipping was not aggressive enough at the end and gave them too many decent options. We lost 26-28.
We are up 8-2 early in the second set. Kansas State with a lot of errors.

Dominant second set win for us, 25-13. We are setting the middles a lot to free up the pins and it’s working. But obviously passing OK enough to run the middles has been helpful. Hope to keep the energy going.

Cannot defend the tip when Mabrey is in the front row, and KState is tipping so much they are making me mistake them for a high school team.
