First set to Flyers.
Great facility with very clear audio and video. Wish we could get this for our basketball games.

Wish I could choke that obnoxious AU fan who screams every time we serve. Not bothering the ladies, but bugs the crap out of me.

Second set to Flyers 25-19 for a 2-0 lead. Turner and Loiars with some serious smoke on their kills.

UD wins set 2. Some nice volleys going on in this game. Definately not an easy one. We got a good run and got a lead and was able to hold off.

Flyers were down 15-14 in the second set, and outscored American 11-3 the rest of the set. Nice job!

Thought passing early in set 2 was off. We were chasing and Janna was havign to do a lot of the serving 10ft from the net. Once we got the ball back to Jane at the net, it helped quite a bit.
Kind of a ragged set 2. We gifted about 3-4 early points on free balls sent to us that we couldnt polish out To survive it not playing great early on was a big deal. Big difference between 1-1 and 2-0.
Turner hitting pretty good from the left side and back row. Z has got to just hammer through more balls and do less chicken wing hits.
For the most part I think serving has been very good -- maybe difference in the match. Few errors, lots of good balls that are in the court.

That may have been the best point of the match with Emmenecker hitting the soft shot to the floor after a long long volley.

Start of fourth set looks identical to the third set. We are standing around and not playing hard.

Janna Krafka has just passed #1 in the all-time season dig category. Also a career high tie at 34 digs.

Sloan (I think) attacked from the back row before the 10 ft line.

An awesome game by Dayton and American. Both teams going all-out and making every volley a challenge for the other team. Taking 5 match-points to win shows it all. 22, 18, -23, and 27. Wow. Just wow.
Onto Saturday!

Cant say those last two sets were well played, but they were nip and tuck the entire way. American's serve was killing us in the last 2 sets. We couldnt keep our first touch in the court. Jane was running everywhere. And that screwed up our offense which in turn screwed up our defense especially at the net. We were not showing a physical presence defensively in the front row. It was all back row D.
Somehow we pulled it out. I thought Krafka served well, Turner hit and served well. Thought Jane was up and down but had a ton of touches and was forced into a LOT of sets that asked too much.
When we tried to play soft ball, we got into trouble. Jane had the big dink but otherwise our best attack was when we were hammering the ball. Thats my angle. You work this hard, run gassers and lift weights in the offseason, win all these matches, win your tourney, and get to the NCAAs. Now is the time to forget about the soft stuff and make everything a physical interaction between you and the leather that wraps the volleyball.
American is good. I think they are our equal in most respects. Match could have gone either way. I think it says a lot about how tough they are that it took 3 career nights from our three main players to beat them.
We'll take it. This team has won 30 games and reached the NCAA 2nd Rd. No other Flyer team has gone further in the NCAAs. I think that says something about how this team grinded through a long season and got a lot better. And we got a LOT better.

We were at a UD event, tracking on the phone. Wish we could have watched, but alas we couldn't. Nice win, great group of kids and fans. Dayton is proud.

Great win for our ladies, coaches and our program, especially after the dissappointment(s) associated with last year! Onto M. Courtney and Penn State....

This isn't a 100% all the time thing -- but usually when a back row player "foot-faults" past the 10' line it's because the set is too far ahead of the line and thus the hitter's take off end's up being over the line and that is an illegal attack. It happens. Keep swinging.

Congrats to the ladies on a well earned ncaa victory. If we had been told before the start of this season that they would be playing Penn State in the 2nd round I think all of us would have taken that.
