We lost to Rice in 4 very close sets. We really should've won the last set and blew it at the end and it should've gone 5.
But, we only had 9 suited out healthy players and Rice had 12 players. No Lednicky who was in a boot. We have a new setter in Waak from Katy/LSU snd there were a few miss connections in the middle which is to be expected but she looked good overall and got us a lot of points on serve. A new OH -#8 not sure who she is because not on the roster but she has some great potential and powerful arm. Our really tall RS Lopuya really picked up steam and was getting a lot more kills as the match went a long. I noticed she started eating/drinking on the bench in the 4th set and wondering if maybe it was because sun was down for Ramendan?
We moved around hitters a lot for different lineups each game and even played #1 Cos-Okpalia on the outside and she didn't look bad over there but her blocking in the middle is amazing. Liked our new MB #14 Brown a lot who looked good. #5 Guinn greatly struggled to get kills and was very high error.
