LV Volleyball

[VolBall09]

Very nice, mature end to the second set against UGA. Shanahan was a real spark off the bench and Laborda’s service was great.

 

[StrangeVol]

After getting off to a slow start we gathered ourselves and played good team volleyball for the final 3 sets. Our blockers finally started getting in the air and that made all the difference. Our serving was much better than usual. Laborda, Lily, and Shanahan all served well. Nice win to make it a pair of wins (along with Soccer) on Friday night. Maybe this is the good karma we need for tomorrow.

Volleyball Preview: LSU - University of Tennessee Athletics

 

[VolBall09]

Ladies came out firing in that first set. Great play from Runnels and Fingall. A few service errors, but you can afford to serve that much more aggressively when ahead 10 points.

This thing is starting to get tight.

This thing is starting to get tight.

Back and forth affair tonight. We were a bit sloppy at times.

No. 20 Tennessee Battles LSU in Five-Set Win - University of Tennessee Athletics

 

[StrangeVol]

The girls gutted one out last night. Lily had the worst match I think I've ever seen her have. It happens to everybody every now and then. On to Sunday!

 

[Rickster]

Not doing any better today.

Not doing any better today.

Our girls just don't look ready to play...

getting embarrassed on national tv. Really disappointing after the way we’ve played all season.

 

[VolBall09]

Wondering if we have some banged up bodies of it coach was just really displeased with some players effort yesterday. Lots of lineup changes today and seeing some players that have not seen much action all season. Bryant and Bell seem like they may be in the dog house.

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Just caught the end, get through match points, only to lose on a service error, what a disappointment.

 

[Putbacks]

Quick turnaround. Play defending National Champion Kentucky on Wednesday night.

Although the scores in today’s match against LSU don’t necessarily look it, we lost every set decisively on the court. (Just survived last night. Must have slept standing up in the locker room overnight.) LSU has the pieces for dominance. They have had some injuries. They put it all together today.

Bad, bad day. Time to regroup and refocus

 

[StrangeVol]

I think the team left their game in the locker room. That was the first really bad performance this season. LSU looked really good. We didn't.

Volleyball Preview: No. 5 Kentucky - University of Tennessee Athletics

 

[Volstylexx]

Where did the Lady Vols of the first 15 games go?? Doesn‘t look anything like the team. KY without their star player and here we are getting embarrassed on national tv for the second time this week.

 

[Volstylexx]

This announcer doesn’t have a clue where he’s at.

 

[Volstylexx]

They showed some grit in the 2nd and 3rd set, but 0-6 over the last 6 sets clearly isn’t ideal. No shame in losing to the #5 team in the country. The next match may very well be the most important of the season. Will the last week spiral into something worse, or will we rebound and right the ship? We will find out soon enough.
