Kent State thread
KEnt State has a Figgie rpi of 154 going into the weekend. Austin Peay is 170 and Evansville 216. We should go 3-0 this weekend. Both Kent State and Austin Peay have shots at finishing with an rpi above 150 so we need to not take these 3 matches for granted. Dayton enters the weekend at 13.

And of course now her name is gone. Must have been a typo. I think you enter a players number so it's easy to do.

UD up 1-0 after winning set 1. Closer than I would have liked at 25-22. Freshman Jordan Albarran came into serve after spending last weekend in street clothes.

Appears Kent State is more of a challenge than their RPI indicates.

Or we came out a little flat. It's hard to tell when you only have stats. Passing is also key.

Jess Sloan on her way to a double-double. 12 kills and 8 digs. Margo has 14 digs in 2 sets. 7.0/set is really good.
When you look at the stat sheet, and see Freshman Peterson plus sophmore X Bruins and Brown. And yes there is one more sophmore, Margo. The way Margo is playing you forget she is just a sophmore. It's amazing how young we are.

Point 26 was another kill by Bruins after KSt scored a kill. Then they go back to Bruins for the winner. UD sweeps 27-25.
All those points at the end, we finished the match with 2 jrs in the back row (Jess-Jane) plus soph Margo. In the front row we had 2 soph Brown and Bruins and a freshman Peterson. The young guns got it done. Not only are they getting playing time, but you can't duplicate in practice what they just did. Fell behind by 2 at 21-23, but won the set and the match. Well done.

Saved a couple of set points against us in that third set when we were down 22-24 - and then pulled it out for the 3-0 sweep.
When we started out 8-2 in set 1 it looked like an easy match. However, Kent State gave us a very good test in all 3 sets.
In spite of our youth, we do seem to be able to elevate our game when needed. In several sets this year we have been down late - only to come back and win the set. We also did win our only 5 set match against Northwestern.
Yes, we are undefeated. We have played decent competition but no elite top 25 teams. A bit inconsistent at times but resilient and so far a bit of moxie. For such a young team we are doing what we need to do.

Need to ensure a quick match against Evansville at 1:30 so we don't have fatigue/sloppiness hit us against AP at 5. No need to see how NW felt last weekend having to play X right after us.
And yes - how young we are. It's really great they're winning while learning on the job. Everyone's contributing in every spot on the court. I thought they'd learn to be good during the A10 season and am feeling a bit spoiled by this success. Keep it up, girls!

I agree with this. If you go back and look at the play by play, it seems these earlier matches/sets we are in a rotation where Amber is in the front row and sometimes Jess is there too. That means we would also have Maggie or Laura n the back row. In other words, several more Juniors and experience on the court at the end to close it out. Last night we did that with our youngest rotations on the court. Very impressive.
I also missed another very good performance last night. Jane had 47 assists in 3sets. That's almost 16 per set and that's really good.
