Dayton versus Ohio University
At this time Ohio University would appear to be the better team. They beat #8 Oregon and won the Oregon tournament. This would be a huge win!

I agree. This is a big-time match for us today. We need to show something -- show we are getting better -- show we have some fight.
Get back to Flyer volleyball. These young kids need to learn that and this afternoon would be a good time to start.
Senior leadership needs to push this team.

After the first match this weekend matt complained that the team did not execute the game plan. Jenna Jendryk said after playing cincy that they didn't worry about the game plan, they just played volleyball. Jenna said they were too concerned about the game plan in the first match to play well.
I know that in the past they haven't done a great job of executing a game plan. I remember kelly saying before a match that they didn't want the libero of the opposing team to ever touch the ball. And it seemed like they served to her every time. I realize that a great libero can cover a lot of ground but it wasn't necessary. There have been other times where you knew the other team was focusing on dinks in the middle of the court and the flyers continued dinking to the same place every time.
But, it isn't easy to remember the game plan when you are in the heat of the battle. Volleyball is a little different than some other sports where you can have more than one offensive or defensive series without stopping in between.

Flyers go 1-2 for the weekend. I don't like getting beat 0-3. We have to put up more fight than that. Concerned about team hitting %. Might need to look at the left OH1 spot and make a change. Not only does that affect that spots production, but if we can't improve there it greatly affect our All American Megan Campbell's attacking. Pretty easy to double her if you don't have to worry about the left OH1 much.
Bright spot appears to be blocking. Hard to tell much more when you only have live stats to follow the match.

Did a quick check of the stats. OU outhit the Flyers .243 to .171 but the stat which jumps out at me is the serving. OU had nine aces and seven serving errors. UD had 0 serving aces and six serving errors. It isn't all about aces because if you can cause a bad pass you have been successful as a server. But, without seeing the match the nine aces appear to be one of the differences.
Gametracker could be wrong again. The headline says the flyers had six aces so the stat I looked at might have been wrong.

I think that Matt is doing a great job in the post game interviews. He isn't throwing players under the bus but he is answering honestly about what has gone wrong. In case you haven't listened he said that defense is their biggest issue right now partially because the team cannot automatically get side outs.
There isn't long to get ready for a very very tough tournament in NEbraska
