Volleyshots
Hawaii playing well, Hunt has had a couple of smart angle shots. UH up 10-7. TO UCI. UH .800 4-0-5, UCI 167 5-3-12.
Service error by UCI gives Hawaii the 15-11 lead at the TTO
Warriors 8-0-9, West 4-0-4. UCI 8-3-17
Net violation and a double hit gives UCI 2 points. Anteaters have pulled to 17-15. TO UH. Warriors still without a hitting error 9-0-12. they were .900 9-0-10 but didn’t convert their last two attempts.
Warriors with a kill from Marks and a hitting error by D’Amore. UH up 19-15. TO UCI. UH still without an error 10-0-13.
Foot fault anyone?? UCI has had 2 NOT called…
No tv?
there’s TV. OC-12
What is Speraw whining about? The line judge gave his team 2 free serves on foot faults that weren’t called…
yep, 2 FF not called. and UCI thinking about it. another SE makes it 20-17
hmmm, after going without a hitting error in their first 16 swings, Hawaii blocked on 2 of the last five points. UCI ties it at 22. TO UH.
UCI’s McDonnell having a bad match. keeps running into the setter. UH wins Set 1 on Averill’s kill 25-23.
Warriors .500 15-3-24. Hunt 3-2-6, West 5-0-5, Averill 2-1-5, Lofy 2-0-2, Marks 3-0-5. 1 block. that was early. 0 aces, 3 SE
UCI .333. 0 aces, 6 SE. 2 blocks, late.
Hawaii running the middle really well. am impressed with Lofy’s improved footwork and jump. He and West ar 9-0-9 combined.
West and Averill block Tillie as UH pulls to 6-5. Clark has found his rhythm for UCI, he’s 8-2-12.
nice play by biscaro in transition. tough set to Hunt who puts it down 10-9 UCI
smart play by Hunt over the triple block off a blind backset from Castello. 11-10. UCI
UCI out 15-12 at the TTO. UH 6-2-25. Hunt with 4 of the 5 hitting errors. he’s 5-4-13. UCI 364.
And for those keeping a scorecard at home. Gus Tuaniga back on the sidelines.
UH’s middles continue to impress. West 7-0-7, Lofy 4-0-4.
Hunt slipped on his approach. not sure if he would have gotten to that set even if he hadn’t. UCI up 18-14. TO UH.
Hunt with a kill, his sixth, pulls UH to 19-17. TO UCI
not very pretty volleyball. Castello again coming up with some big digs. UCI up 22-19. TO UH.
West with his first hitting error, hits wide, gives UCI the 25-20 win.
Marks blocked to open Set 3. his first hitting error. then his second, hitting wide. 2-0 Anteaters.
Really? It was WAY out! Line judges are terrilble tonight for such a pivotal match. Can’t the MPSF import some or at least give us an R 1 that will overrule them?
Don, wishful thinking. MPSF not going to spend money to bring out refs when you have ‘certified’ ones here. Agree that they should over rule the linesman, but that would mean he would have to see it.
Kill by Averill, one from West, ties it at 23. TO UH. Lofy serving.
Timmer with a service error gives UCI that 15-13 lead at the TTO. Hackbarth in the house, taking a lap around the concourse.
kill by Hughes ends it 25-19. be back in a bit.
Set 2 stats: UH 10-3-24, UCI 15-5-32.
difference UCI with 3 aces, UH 0.
UH’s middles still playing well. in Set 2, Lofy 2-0-2, West 2-1-3. Hunt 4-2-10, Averill 1-0-4, he twisted his ankle early in Set 2. not sure if that’s affecting Biscaro going to him. Marks 1-0-5. UCI with 8 digs, UH 9.
UCI service error and Hunt’s solo ties.
UH’s service errors preventing them from pulling away. Hunt with a monster kill puts the Warriors up 7-6. His ace makes it 8-6.
Only now seeing the resemblance between UCI setter Daniel Stork and his dad Jeff. UH up 11-8. make that 11-9 on another SE.
That ball was sooooo out. gives UCI a point. Averill with his 6th kill gives UH a 15-12 lead at the TTO.
Wariors missed a golden opportunity to put down the overpass when West and Hunt miscommunicate. UCI converts, Dejno with a kill, ties it at 18. UCI SE gives UH 19-18 lead.
Marks hits long on the X, UCI takes the 21-20 lead. TO UH.
hunt puts it down on his 4th swing of the rally. thought Biscaro had gone to him too much. ties it at 21
Clark with his 16th kill, makes it 23=21 UCI. TO Warriors.
so tired of this blog going all over the place. UH had tied it at 23. Kill by Clark, West blocked Anteaters win 25-23.
Set 3. UCI only 12 kills, hit .300. UH 15-5-38. Anteaters with 3 blocks. Clark was 7-0-12.
UH 1 ace, 7 SEs. Hunt hasn’t had a hitting error since set 2. he was 6-0-15 in Set 3.
For those of you wondering, UCI’s 2 losses have been to BYU, in 3 and in 5, at Irvine.
Set 3 9 ties, 2 lead changes.
nice decoy by Lofy who yelled 1. Biscaro backset to Averill, no block at tall. UH closes to 6-5
nice up by Marks, converted by Hunt. ties it at 11
ace by Averill brings UH to within 16-15.
I know Hunt wants the ball but it doesn’t mean you have to give it to him. he’s blocked by Carson. UCI up 19-16.
Hunt blocked again on his tip. it’s 21-17. TO UH. Warriors were doing much better with a more diversified attack.
Ace by Clark gives UCI Match point at 24-19. TO UH.
