bierce Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Indiana is 3-0 and in the "also receiving votes" category. Pretty good squad. Beat a decent UC Davis team 3-1 in Bloomington. Leading middle blocker Boersma is a somewhat undersized (6'2") freshman. Offense is fairly well spread among Alonso-Carcelles (115 attacks), Saris (90), and Tatum (78). By comparison, Texas is led by Skinner (118) and Wenaas (92), with Rutherford far behind at just 44. Time to see if Carlson and the hitters are getting in sync. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
