caveman99 Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 First set of conference road tests for this very young team and it showed early on in both matches. Got a couple of lucky overturns tonight via instant replay that I felt could have gone either way in the 2 set, but they took control in the 3rd and 4th sets. IU is much better than in the past for sure, good pair of wins this weekend. Quote Link to comment

At one point in the 2nd set the broadcast threw up a stat showing IU with 6 blocks and NU with zero blocks, and actually outblocked NU 11-2 overall. That simply isn’t Husker Volleyball. IU was outplaying NU defensively in the first 2 sets, seemed like they got to everything and NU wasn’t. IU hit .351 in the first set. Whatever IU scouted allowed them to get the jump on NU. Great job by the Husker women to to rebound and dominate the 2nd half of the match. Guessing Coach Cook has an awful lot of tape to use to help this young team continue to improve. Oh and Harper Murray is a budding super star, but she can’t continue to have 7 service errors (41% of her serves overall for the match). Serving was a big area for improvement out of the IU match.

I give them credit for game 3 & 4 as we got punched in the mouth & they regained composure. Hopefully, they can learn from this. We are young, early tests should help! Quote Link to comment
