IUPUI Thread
I noticed out on figgie's rpi that Dayton is the only team in the nation that has 10 wins so far, the most of any team. Let's make it #11 tonight. Go Flyers.

UD up 2-0 but it hasn't been pretty. 25-22 and 27-25. We will see how the come out of intermission. I think we've played more matches than anyone in the country. That with the travel for this one fatigue might be setting in. Need to put it away so these ladies can get back to Dayton.

25-22 and 27-25 Flyers in first 2 sets. Being tested and lots of inconsistency.
Still, down 18-22 in set 2, score 5 straight points and take the lead, fight off a set point at 23-24, and then pull out the set. How many times have we been down late in a set this year and pulled it out? A bunch!

We just seem to be able to flip a switch. Focus. And close it out when we need to. I'll take take everyday of the week and twice on Saturdays. Lol

11-0 and excited to be sitting where we are. All that said, we were at figgies rpi #20 before the match and #25 after winning the match. This is just how it's going to be this year with this schedule. Unfortunately the schedule is playing out on a worst case bases. It's always a crap shoot when you put these together in the spring. So we just need to continue to work hard each day and continue to get better. There is a lot to work on. We aren't putting teams away like we should be, but have been blessed so far with the ability to crank it up to close out sets and win matches. I didn't check this morning, but within the last week other than Dayton, everyone else in the A10 had rpis greater than 160. that means all the conference matches will fall into the lowest rpi break. It's why we win and drop 5 rpi slots.

Yes, but the Flyers were up 18-17 in set 2, and gave up 5 straight points to be put into that position. It was nice to be able to rattle off 5 straight on our own, but the team shouldn't have had to dig out of it like that.

IUPUI game - the good and not so good
First the good - Jamie Peterson appears to be continuing to improve.
Her stat line included 8 kills, 5 digs, 5 blocks and 2 service aces.
The not so good - IUPUI recently played then ranked #12 Ohio State at home. Google the IUPUI schedule and look at the results. Read at your own risk as results were 9-25, 13-25 and 12-25.

Jamie and the rest of the team will continue to improve as the season continues. They are far from a finished product. Many teams have nearly reached their ceiling at this point, not the case with the Flyers

Jess, Jane and Amber have been in the rotation for the last two years. So about 2.3 yrs of experience right now. Jess is in an expanded role this year.
Margo was our DS last year, so has 1.3 years of experience right now
Jamie, Lauren, Kendyll, Maggie, Laura are all new to the rotation and have just gotten 0.3 years of court experience at this level.
I agree we have to get better and I'm sure everyone on the team would tell you that. I think an important part of that is to learn to play big even against weaker opponents. We are winning, but we aren't rolling yet. We need to get there. I think it will come. The one think I am impressed with is how so many people can and have contributed. Last match we had 4 players score in double digits. And the play who is leading the team in points had 9 that match. I have never seen a team have 5 player score double digit points in one match - especially a 3 set match. We were one kill or ace away from having that. Very rare.
