Glad to hear the reason why Rastovski wasn’t in. She went in when Heaney went out with her ankle injury, but hasn’t played since. Was wondering why Wollard was playing for Heaney. The first set or so was a bad run for Chloe (negative hitting percentage) and Eva (under .200) yet we kept trying to force it without setting the middles hardly any. When Poulter came in the first two sets were to Raven. She did a good job of feeding the middles and it paid dividends getting many points. It almost seemed to free up the outside hitters. Maybe because they had to worry about blocking both the middle and outside. Chloe did a fantastic job from her early negative hitting to leading the team with 18 kills on a .250 percentage.
From the “you think you’re having a bad match”, #2 on MSU at one point had a negative 400 hitting percent. Something like 2 kills, 11 errors on 21 attempts. She ended up negative 400: 2 kills and 12 errors on 25 attempts.
Keeps us tied with PSU on the conference record, but third due to the sweep. PSU giving WI only it’s second loss (I assume) helps us because we swept PSU, but now we have to play WI just after they lose.
