bierce Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Offense off kilter right now. Poor ratio of hard swings to dinks so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Blake Munroe Posted September 1 Author Moderators Share Posted September 1 Fox for some reason giving that point to Wisconsin but definitely not the case. As Bierce said, 15-14 Texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bierce Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Wenaas off block. 16-14 Texas. UW line shot wide. 17-14. UW second timeout. 8-1 Texas run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bierce Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 (edited) A little different rotation than was the peak rotation last year. We spent most of year with Skinner, O'Neal, and Phillips on the front line when Halter was serving, and we would run of 5 or 6 points on her serve regularly. RIght now we have Swinder, Wenaas, and Ames on the front line with Halter serving. Skinner hitting from the back row.

bierce Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 (edited) Wisconsin kill followed by Ames getting blocked in the midde and Wenaas not clearing the tape. 17-17 Edited September 1 by bierce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bierce Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Kind of an odd rotation to not have either Rutherford or Skinner on the front line. Skinner is a hell of a back row weapon, but I have to think she, Rutherford, and Singletary will be our best front row weapons. But Ames just ended UW's run with a strong hit off block on the slide. UW came back with a kill. 19-18 UW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bierce Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Ames hit from middle went wide. 20-18 Wenaas weak side went out. 21-18. Texas's second timeout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bierce Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 UW returns Wenaas's hit into the net. 21-19. Wenaas serve long. 22-19. Rutherford had to dink, UW could only free ball back. Rutherford gets kill on next swing. 22-20. SKinner with kill. 22-21. Texas saved one by going nearly into the stands, but UW got kill after Texas freeball. 23-21. Rutherford kill. 23-22. I love havinng a lefthander on that side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bierce Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Halter with an NCAA tournament quality dig, but Texas passed ball over, and UW got the kill anyway. 24-22. SKinner dink blocked out of bounds. One set point survived. UW in net. 24-24. It was egregious. But setting Wenaas against Smrek might not be good odds for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
