Buffalo Thread
In pre-game interview, Sheff said UD passed the best he's seen in his four years at UD against Syracuse. Passing is ALWAYS a concern, every match. Hopefully the team rallies around this outstanding performance and raises this part of our game to a more consistant high level.
Amazing how great passing = a team hitting percent of .350 -- also an amazing accomplishment.
Looking for more of that this match.
You can pay $8 to see video. I passed...it should be a quick match. lol

UD 25-13 in set 1. Flyers hit .667 as a team -- with 85% sideout. Only "issue" is we had 5 SEs -- so 5 of Buffalo's 13 points were our service errors. We only had 1 hitting error that set. "Worst" hitters are Shayne and Z at .500 each. In other words, they haven't done anything to stop our offense.

UD women's soccer tied at 0-0 per vball announcer.
UD scores in 30th minute and go up 1-0. Josey Grant gets the goal.
At the break -- KY has ZERO shots on goal. UD has 4. Still leading 1-0.

Another great job. UD wins set 2 25-12. Rachel Jones serves the last 4 points. 75% sideout. UD hitting .490 and out-digging Buffalo 23-13. That's a HUGE margin in digs.
Shayne Brown being interviewed by Mandy -- info to come.
Shayne said she has only played MB until this year and is now playing rightside. She also said the highlight of the first two weekends was being so close to almost knocking off Illinois. Interview was taped before last weekend.

This can be a very good team with great passing. When you have a sideout percentage of .850 in a set that says it all.
I wonder if anyone has ever analyzed how many points are gained by great passing versus ok passing? I think it would be a difference of several points per set
Of course when the opponent is hitting big topspin jump serves and jump floaters great passing is easier said than done

sweep - good luck picking an MVP -- Coin flip between Kray-Hammer-Sam. And Paige should join them on the All-tourney team -- but it's tough to get 4 from one team. We'll see. Von also play really well.
This weekend was exactly what the doctor ordered and the team sure did deliver. Time to turn our attention to the A-10 and a quest to go undefeated for the second year in a row. First up is LaSalle and Temple next weekend in Frericks. Two more teams we should hold under 15 pts a set.
GO FLYERS!
