Both Elko and Morrison promoting the Friday night volleyball game at LSU for those going to the football game.

Would be wild to have a bunch of Aggies there and motivating for the team!

Pre cautionary load management

Not a hard opponent in Arkansas

Humphrey senior day with family in attendance

all reason why she was held out Sunday

I am not worried and gave valuable reps for Fitch as third option in case of need

All the rest of our matches for regular season AND likely the SEC Tourney will be against the top half of the conference

We will have to be more crisp and cannot afford to fall behind and expect to catch up against the remaining opponents

On match at a time and i know the staff and team are already focused on who is across thenet on 10/31

Watching Stowers pass is so fun to watch. The form is about as perfect as it gets.

I also really think Applegate's ball location is excellent for a freshman. She seems to give a lot of great passes to Waak. She'll only get quicker and more confident. Along with Rodriguez and Thedford coming in next year, I think we will be strong at an important position!

I so wish she would get a shot at libero sometimes! She's so solid and her passes are in system, with tempo.

She's pretty quick playing middle back though. I'm not sure who is quicker.

She has played livero a few sets not as effective in that position

I think it has to do with who she is next to in the passing rotation that caused some issues but that is my naked eye and no real data to look over

I think Applegate plays a great MB and Underwood set location when we are OOS is pretty dang good

Is Ifenna winning SEC defensive player of the week again? Her blocking continues to just take over games as well as all the other ways she contributes...

As early as works for you. I appreciate you doing the research and like to start thinking about the next match early and share the info with others.

6 ranking just came out. We just need to win the last 3 regular season matches and get to the finals of the SEC tournament to possibly get the number 4 seed in the tournament and host the first 4 rounds.

I'm not greedy.

We have 3 ranked wins over tu, Tennessee, and Minnesota. Our 3 losses are to Kentucky, SMU, and TCU. I'd say as of now we are comfortably a 3 seed. Win the next 3 and we could be in the conversation for a 2 seed. Recency bias will be on our side, we are winners of 7 straight and won back to back games on live television and handed tu their first loss.

RPI - 11
KPI - 8
AVCA - 6

Interesting note-
Brent Crouch the Head Coach for Auburn who we play next is an Aggie. He grew up in Dallas and got his undergrad degree at aTm and played on our Men's VB team from 93-97.

And we will need him to use that philosophy degree to get over the loss after Friday and get auburn into the top 50 RPI. GIG'EM Professor Coach Dr. Crouch '97.

Wait, Auburn's Volleyball, Softball, and Tennis head coaches are all aggies?

I may have played against him during the Friday pickup matches in the Reed(?) courts. I was no where close to the club player levels but it was fun.

that's a pretty big gap though.

Maybe she will go off trying to reach that goal!
