Mo Harris: can't stop, won't stop! Yet another ace on this now 9-0 run. 17-7 Iowa State in the second.

Maybe coach decided consistetent setting more important than letdown on blocking.

something is clearly clicking today. Not sure if A&M is way off? Or if the 5-1 change affected their scouting that much....not sure that it should.


Capezio reminds me a lot of Jensen or Hockaday. Very, very solid all-around player. Think she's already had 3 or so double doubles on the year.

well and our blocking with the 6-2 was still sub-par. We were dead last in blocking stats for the Big 12 so far this year - 1.67/set. At 5 today after two sets - obviously not conclusive, but if blocking was the reason for the 6-2, I think it's safe to say it wasn't doing enough. Consistent setting may very well be what we needed. Well, and I'm guessing the passing looks better as well. Mo has all but two assists.

Great passing can make a good setter look great. I'm guessing the match so far is a result of good play from ISU and less than average play from A&M.

I've seen Abby Phillips in a couple times getting a kill or error but I don't see where she is subbing in or out. She is listed as a DS, am I missing something?

Sort of frustrating we are forced to resort to this - what are using trained chipmonks?


maybe! It had a score mess up in the first set too. It sucked because it went from 24-24 to 23-25. I think it happened further back because it said we were 22-22 but then now the play by play doesn't show that. Went from 21-22 to 21-23.

and according to twitter, Ciara has 2 kills in the 4th and game track still has it as the third set.
