    Re: Volleyball season is here!

    UNI looks to rebound from the season-opening loss, as they take on the Pittsburgh Panthers this morning in about 15 minutes (9 a.m. central)

    Pitt started out the season yesterday with a 3-1 victory over George Washington (25-20, 15-25, 25-21, 25-17)

      Off to a good start against Pitt, UNI is up 8-2 in the first set, including 2 service aces by Burke.

        Pitt fights back to tie the first set at 15 apiece.
        For UNI, it sounds like Willms is struggling somewhat on serve receive. She had 4 receiving errors yesterday and 2 already today (and a number of other poor passes that kept UNI out of system).

            UNI wins the second set, 25-21.

            There are some areas that could use some cleaning up (service errors, serve receive, attack errors, staying out of the net), but it sounds like the offense is starting to come together (though it's tough to tell for sure via the radio)

              UNI rolls in the third set to complete the sweep over Pittsburgh, 25-13

              Our Panthers hit .303 as a team overall in this match, holding Pitt to a .031

              Amy Braun recorded 17 kills and 9 digs to offset her 3 service errors and 2 receive errors (cleaning up the latter, Amy will definitely be a force to be reckoned with in her senior season).
              Megan Lehman hit a whopping .562, with 10 kills on 16 attempts.
              Krista DeGeest also recorded 10 kills, and was in on 3 blocks.

              Courtney Kintzel and Haley Wandrey saw their first collegiate action towards the end of the third set after having redshirted last season.

                    second verse, same as the first (or close enough), as UNI wins set two 25-12, with the Panthers hit .348 as a team in that set

                    Amy has 6 kills, 4 aces, and was in on 3 blocks for points.
                    Krista was in on 5 blocks to go with her 4 kills.

                      Panthers complete the sweep of the Colonials with a 25-18 win of the third set.
                      UNI had a team hitting percentage of .593 in that third set, not too shabby, and end up hitting .471 for the match.

                      Megan Lehman was the star of this match, recording 10 kills and having 4 aces (which is cool, as if I remember correctly, she didn't serve that much last year, usually rotating out), along with 3 blocks.

                      Amy Braun added 8 kills, another 4 aces, 7 digs and 3 blocks.
                      Krista DeGeest had 6 blocks.

                      This match allowed Bobbi to get some playing time for the bench, with Courtney Kintzel, Haley Wandrey, Eryca Hingtgen, and Brittany Nelson seeing some time on the court. Gametracker also lists Lindsey Schulz as playing, but I don't recall hearing her name on the radio, and she's a true freshman, so that might be a miskey.

                          Pretty good tournament overall. Tough draw to open up versus the #9 team in its packed house while getting a new full-time setter into the mix. Obviously, things were a lot smoother Saturday against Pitt and GW. Congrats to Amy and Megan, well deserved!

                          Also, Jay, Lindsay Schulz definitely did not play. Even looking at the boxscore on the UNI site, it has her being replaced late in the 3rd set despite never subbing in or starting that set. Hopefully that gets fixed ASAP!

                            Hope they can keep it rolling in southern California next weekend.

                              The boxscore on the UNI site for road (or neutral site) matches is just what is sent by the host school.

                              Errors like that aren't uncommon, especially early in the season, especially with neutral-site matches when the person running the stats computer is unfamiliar with both teams.
