Sounds like Eva is happy to be following in her mom’s footsteps.We had 9 blocks compared to 2 by Michigan. Purdue hit 0.348 vs 0.119 by the Wolverines.
Eva Hudson had 14 kills against 2 errors and finished with 999 kills for her career and tomorrow when she gets #1000 it will be the speediest that any Purdue player has achieved that milestone. Pretty amazing player. And she seems very loyal to Purdue - I don’t think she will enter the portal.
This team is so young and even thought we will miss Schermerhorn so much next year, I think the team’s goal is final four this year and a National Championship next.

Nice to have a pretty dominant match considering the short turnaround for the second straight MI road game tomorrow. MSU gave Purdue a match, so it could be a close one on the rematch. This team is very confident, locked in, and unfazed in critical moments. Win tonight and we get 3rd in the B1G and the opportunity to host the first weekend. CDS says they are all aware of what’s at stake.WVB sweeps Michigan winning the final set 25-17 even though Michigan lead by as much as two points in the middle of the set. Shondell called a TO and it was all Purdue after that. But it seemed to me there were too many unforced errors.
At any rate they did well without exhausting themselves so one would hope there would be no upset tomorrow evening at MSU.

You’re correct. Wollard played the entire game and the bench was very short last night. But she played well… 3 kills in 10 attempts and only 1 error. And also credited with 3 blocks.Nice to have a pretty dominant match considering the short turnaround for the second straight MI road game tomorrow.

Is there any update on Heaney. I see her walking around in uniform after the matches? Rastovski, who came in to replace Heaney, hasn’t played since be was reported as having a sore shoulder. I believe Wollard has been getting all Heaney’s playing time.
Correct. And also means they will get less highly-ranked teams to come into Holloway for the first two rounds.“10-12 works much better for a third round matchup.”
I just listened to the last Dig City podcast and not a word about Wollard, Heaney or Rastovski. Coach is playing it close to the vest.You’re correct.

With the holiday I have not listened to Dave’s podcasts the last two weeks so not sure if he has talked about it there or not.
