Not a bad opening weekend for the Blue Hens. Opening their season against what looks like a much improved Michigan team was definitely good imo. Unfortunately dropping the first game of the season in 5, let's not talk about that fifth set lol. I'll admit Rogers looked much better than I remember from last year. While we struggled with terminating at times there were definitely sparks where we really lit up. Thanks to Seemans and Nguyen our defense and passing were solid. Our blocking looked great as well thanks to Rogers, Johnson and Whitfield-Moss. In terms of stats Seemans led the Hens with 17 kills and 21 digs. Johnson and Rogers both had 6 blocks with Johnson also adding 12 kills. Whitfield-Moss also added 5 more blocks for the Hens. It seems Gillens has stepped into Mason's shoes, in a sense, being the second OH for us. Tallying 15 kills against the wolverines. Nguyen wore the bro jersey and tallied 24 digs and 5 assists.
Against Kent State we were able to pull it out in sweeping fashion . The Blue Hens hit .232 as a team while holding the Golden Flashes to just a .01 hitting percentage. Seemans led in kills again with 8 while also adding 2 service aces, 2 blocks and 11 digs. Johnson led the way in blocks with 4 while also matching Seemans with 8 kills and adding 1 service ace. Wright led the way with 12 digs for the Blue Hens.
Overall not a bad debut for the '24 season, the team seems solid and showed their willingness to fight. Next week we head to Iowa City to face another B1G team. The Hawkeyes are hosting their Hawkeye invite where we'll play Cal Baptist, Iowa and San Jose State. I look forward to the improvements we make from now until then! Best of luck to all at the upcoming Hawkeye invite and remember, Go Blue Hens!!
