Had the pleasure of watching the 3rd (?) ranked Gator volleyball team whip up on some bottom feeders this weekend in Gainesville. Other than overall talent mismatches, there were some noteworthy players. 6'8" Sophomore MB Rachael Kramer is approaching beast-mode status. Another standout was OH Carli Snyder, who has been singled out by many coaches, including Texas and Nebraska, as having the hardest serve in the land. In one funny episode her serve knocked two defenders to the floor when it hit one in the forehead and the second player on the bounce. The entire arena was in stitches and Lipscomb had to call time out because their team could not stop laughing, including their coach and both players.
Of note also was a Lipscomb OH named Carlyie Nusbaum who, at 5'10" probably had a 35" vertical and could play for any top team in the country. She raised the level of play on Lipscomb by her presence. Was personally responsible for taking a set off of Florida, and put on a show the whole match.
I could only dream of having our Flyers in that mix. Would have opened some eyes in Gainesville.
Oh, as an aside, witnessed a pretty good football game ending to the Gator/Tennessee matchup.
