I'm never happy, I guess. Just a huge fan. Blame me, but why did we start slow at home in the first match? I mean....slow. Actually, we were probably playing fast and making mistakes. Which is it? Thought there'd be more students for a rowdy atmosphere. Nice job by the band, as always.
They are a good team. I was worried about this match. But it's important to realize that they lost today and had already played, is that right? They worked some stuff out. They were ready to go. He's a good coach. Now, we have to play a team that beat them. Wished our win could have been a little easier.
Same mistakes out of some players. Bigbee misses the hard cut across the court, still. Doesn't play good defense. She can be better. She's a senior, and this is it. Not trying to be overly critical. What was Harris doing on the wiff's that she tried to set, twice (good serve, not her best)? Grace sat late after not being effective in the middle of the match, but she's going to be really good. We went for the line against a team we should just serve into play, IMO. Don't mean to be critical, but it's there. I hope Capezio is okay.
Positives- Vondrack still comes in and brings the energy. Nolan still gets to everything (great serve). Schaben looks like a young Kim Carnes, might have "Betty Davis Eyes". Hits like a ton of bricks, but has touch when she needs it (nice serve). Morgan was steady. Went for hands early, then just buried some kills (good serve). Conaway played with all kinds of ankle support and was very effective (great serve). Knuth looked good late. Berta seved okay, and was scrappy. Horner was up and down (can serve better), good sets, though.
We'll get better. It will be really intersting to see how things go tomorrow. Not sure we are in better "condition" than last year at this time. Lots of sweat mopped up.
