Rhode Island 2 Thread
They lost to Duquesne on Friday 3-1. (26-22-28-21) This Rhode Island team is a nice team having a good year and competing with everyone in the A-10. We'll need to come out strong from the first serve. We found out last week if we let them hang around in sets, bad things can happen. So we need to come out swinging and throw some punches early and then keep the pedal to the metal. Focus and perform at a high level and get out of the gym quickly.
Go Flyers!

Looking forward to the match today. They only have one more home weekend left. I doubt that focus will be an issue today.

UD 23-22. TO UD. We went to Campbell early but it's been Z late in this set that has found the floor. Need to CLOSE THIS OUT. Also, they must be keying on POW Shayne Brown. she os 0-2-14 for -.143. Probably the biggest challenge Shayne has seen since moving to the left side. She is a tough kid. My money is on her to respond in sets 2 & 3 and come roaring back. (Added after end of set -- she put up 3 blocks in the first set. She is a competitor for sure.)
Now tied 23-23

UD wins 25-18 on a kill from Agu. We have 11.5 blocks and are hitting .234 for the match after hitting mid 300's as a team that set.
Jenna has 4 blocks, which should put her over 1.0 b/s for the year. She will be the 4th player on this team averaging 1.0+. I've never seen a team with 4 players over 1 b/s. And I've never seen a setter average 1 b/s.
Impressive.

Sweep! UD closes it out 25-21 off two big kills by Jill Loiars. With RI keying on Brown, Loiars did a nice job all match stepping up to terminate balls. Everyone blocked well -- 13.5 team blocks in 3 sets. Might be enough to over take Stanford as the #1 blocking team in the country. If not, we are close.

It was a good match and I thought the team played well. I really like this lineup, think it maximizes the team both offensively and defensively. But, I don't have the statistics available that matt does.
We had some interesting discussion at the chalk talk today which I will share later on.
I did track the passing as I mentioned previously. I missed a few early in the match just in case my numbers don't match up. The actual passing number that I came up with was 2.21 out of 3.0 which is pretty good. There were quite a few really good passes which allows you to set slides and quick hitters
I think the team is improving at the right time
