  • Shocker VB @ Cincinnati

    WICHITA STATE (9-8, 4-2 American)

    Friday, Oct. 14 (5:00 p.m. CT) at Cincinnati (4-12, 2-4 American)
    Cincinnati, Ohio (Fifth Third Arena)
    Live Stats // Watch

    SCOUTING THE BEARCATS:
    • Cincinnati comes into play on Friday with an overall record of 4-12, including 2-4 in American Athletic Conference action.
    • The Bearcats feature a balanced offensive attack, with three different hitters (Avry Tatum, Carly Glendinning, Abby Walker) currently between 162 and 178 kills on the season.
    • Friday will be a matchup of two of the conference's youngest rosters. The Bearcats lean heavily upon youth in the regular rotation, featuring a freshman and a sophomore at the setter position and each of the four leading hitters as underclassmen.
    • Cincinnati has struggled to slow down opposing attacks this season, allowing opponents to hit .245 for the second-worst mark in the conference and 310th nationally.
    • The Bearcats played a loaded non-conference schedule, highlighted by five straight matches against teams either ranked or receiving votes in the AVCA poll. Cincinnati went 1-4 in those contests, beating Florida State and pushing #10-ranked Pittsburgh to five sets.
    • Head coach Molly Alvey is the third-winningest active coach in The American, with 230 overall wins. Now in her 11th season at Cincinnati, Alvey guided the Bearcats to a stretch of three NCAA tournament appearances in four years from 2016-2019.
    Because the Shockers played their travel partner on Wednesday the Shockers and Tulsa only have a single match this weekend playing at Cincinnati. Tulsa plays then Sunday afternoon. The Shocks will then get a break before playing Houston and Tulane next Friday and Sunday.

    Hopefully, the Shocks can carryover some good vibes from there final 3 sets in the comeback win over Tulsa.

    Shocks lead 15-14 at the media timeout in set 1. Looks like another match that could go either way. I have high school football to attend tonight so I will follow the live stats for the duration.

    Good luck Shocks.

      A rather ugly start (4-8) but at 9-all, Cincinnati takes a TO.

      9-10 moves to 15-10 ... and then 15-13. TO Shockers.

      A tie at 20.

      Kayce 6-0-11 for .545

      Serves 12/9 v 7/11

      This is a team the Shockers would handle easily with Sophia available. In her absence, they seem to be putting together something that works - works against the lower echelon at least. A nice road win.

          12 aces. Lily-5, Katie-3, Annalie-2, and Kayce and Brylee with one each. Cincy had 7.
          9 Service errors. Not so good, but Cincy had 11.
          A couple of the aces were followed by a service error. Why does it seem like that happens often?

          16 Total blocks. 8 solo. Looks like we had a good day blocking.
