Set 1 UH wins 25-20.
The Royals had never scored more than 17 points in any of the four matches against the Warriors.
Great win without Thelle, but don’t like that they’ve been getting outblocked, sometimes by large margins. But I guess it’s all good as long as they’re winning.
Wouldn’t be too concerned about being outblocked. 7-1 edge in aces
Yes, serving was very good and has been steadily improving. And they did manage to close the gap a bit in the blocking.
