Fun match. Hawaii’s volleyball fan following is so admirable. Nayeli looking like a freshman tonight
Missed both Wachholz and Stonestreet, although I thought Paula K played well at libero.Really struggling since set 1. I think Lily being out is being felt. Against the ropes and have to pull out set 4 since we shine in set 5.
Just my opinion, but the thing about those teams is, their best players show up and perform in big matches. We have a problem, in that our best players can disappear in big matches.KU, Baylor & Texas won so we were the only Big 12 School to lose today.
Just so frustrating because we dominated sets 1 and 2 but tossed set to away relatively easily. Morgan Brandt was phenomenal in those sets. I watched it and I kept thinking how do you manage to implode. Hawaii did serve way tougher in end of set 2 that continued. I have not had time to see who is coming in and since my daughter aged out of club. I have zero idea of who is even a good recruit anymore because we don't see them every weekend like we used to. Good nucleus of players coming back though. Only two names via volleytalk

The differential between the OH attack %s and MB %s was IMO the primary reason why ISU lost.Just so frustrating because we dominated sets 1 and 2 but tossed set to away relatively easily.

She's been an impressive newcomer and haas seen her time on the floor increase of late. Looking forward to seeing more of her in future years. She can be an impact player for us.Hope McCune will be good to go next fall too.
That would be a disaster. NIL money to a VB player?And I am going to assume that other top programs will attempt to poach Gonzalez this off-season.
High profile VB transfers in recent seasons have been primarily grad transfers but the number of high profile undergrad transfers is increasing, in part, due to NIL funding from some top programs.That would be a disaster. NIL money to a VB player?
