Starts in 2 hours. Lets get out there and support the Ags.

Ags won the first game 30-20

Ags win game 2 30-25, CU takes game 3 30-26

Ags lose final three games to lose match.

Ladies choke big time.

Just got back, very dissapointing match.

the CU girls looked like they were having fun the whole time - even when they were down big

That was our match to win. We let them back in it and lost all confidence and momentum. Extremely disappointing.

Anybody know why none of the fish played early on?

Laura didn't do that well after the 2nd game, Cristin Burton seemed to struggle the whole game. On the positive side Cristi Hahn had a great game. Lots of key blocks.

Colorado gave us plenty of chances, they served the ball into the net all afternoon. The crowd was bigger than I expected for a Sunday afternoon game, mostly freshman, and was pretty loud.

This year's team just doesn't seem to have IT. They give good effort, but always seem uptight.

What's wrong with our v-ball team this year???

Is there something wrong with our blocking technique? It seems to me when we send two people up to block they're getting through more than they should, but I don't know enough to say for sure.

The problem wth the technique is that they do not penetrate over the net and if they do they don't firm their block. Alot of times they are caught a few ft off the net and the ball will drop on our side or they won't put a strong block up and it will tool off of them or hit high hands or go right through their hands.


edit: another guy and I from the men's club team practice with them and we are constantly used to hit at them and make them have stronger blocks. But it seems as though they only have one offensive weapon(before ISU game and christie hahn). You can tell at the games sometimes that the other girls will just expect laura to do all the work and try and get by without doing much. Obviously that isn't working because other teams can focus on laura and no one else on our team is stepping up, except at ISU when Hahn took over that game.

I can say that both john and laurie are doing their best to motivate and get these girls in form for the season but there is only so much they can do. I just think that this team needed a little more time together to learn their strenghts and weaknesses.

That being said, they should be a different team the rest of the season and should look to win some more games.

Hahn stepped up again this game, although not as much as I believe she is capable of doing. Kelly Stanton also did more than I can remember her doing so far this season. I think our biggest problem this game was that we let ourselves get thrown off our rhythm. We would get a run going and they would call a timeout or make a good play or a call would go against us and we would go stone cold for a few points. If we would have come right back from those and established the rhythm again we would have won. Hopefully the other girls will continue to step up more when Laura is being picked out.
