Good blocking. I like Buchanan, I think he has a bright future. Did they really have 16 service errors? Is that correct?
yep, against 2 aces. first time UH hasn’t had at least 7 aces in a match. But when you’re without two of your best servers (Thelle and Mouchlias) …
For sure not a good stat, but it’s to be expected when you’re without your starting setter and your most prolific hitter. But the bright spots (to me, anyway) have been Buchanan and Sheward, and they still swept. I doubt that other top ten teams have been tinkering as much with their starting lineups.
