I wonder if the issues with this mobile digital ticketing application might have something to do with WSU parting ways with Russell Wilkins.

An hour before the game, my apple wallet had not updated, so I signed into goshockers account, went to my tickets and chose the game. I then hit the download to apple wallet and it updated my tickets. Don't know if I'll have to do it today and Saturday, we'll see. The "All-in-one" ticket thing might not be set up for multiple games on the same day.
Now does anyone want my 2 tickets to tonight's match with Northern Colorado?

Looked like their was some decent support at the Cal Poly match from some of the other Shocker programs:
There was also a big group of guys in black polo shirts sitting just north of midcourt behind press row. Maybe the baseball team. A good chunk of them left fairly early in the match.
Perhaps this was tied into this: 9/19 – 16:1 Match + SASO Ice Cream Social + Faculty Appreciation Night: All Wichita State faculty and staff receive free admission when they show their Shocker ID to the ticket office!
Here is the Promotion for tonight's match vs Northern Colorado: 9/20 – Jam the Gym + Yellow Out: It's our first Friday night match of the year! Jam the Gym & Yellow Out The Roundhouse!
-First 500 fans receive a yellow Shocker Volleyball T-Shirt!

Other Friday Match
Omaha 1-3 Cal Poly
21, 18, (22), 19
I suspected that someone from Cal Poly started the tournament thread on Volleytalk. Here are some comments by a couple of them from last night's match with the Shockers.
Did you guys watch the Wichita State match? We are too predictable, we don't cover our hitters that keep getting blocked, and I felt like they outblocked us like 3-1 ratio. I didn't really feel that Wichita State was even that good. This was winnable. I have really kind of given up on this team.
Pretty disappointing!
Only watched the start of the match,...1st two sets.
Shocked,...we couldn't pull that out at the end.
Too bad, so sad.Last edited by flyingMoose; 2 weeks ago.

The key run in the deciding 5th set was with the score tied at 3 the Shocks went on a 9-1 run behind an energized and fired up Morgan Stout and a revived Emerson Wilford. Morgan contributed a block solo and 2 block assists and 2 kills and Emerson picked up 3 of her 10 kills with Brooklyn Leggett chipping in a kill. Morgan was pumped up and no doubt had her team pumped up.

Lost in 4. 3rd set WSU looked really good. Same issues, lack of offense, at times poor passing. But UNC just better. Better blocking, passing…just a better team, imo.
However, one would think this should have been a match we should have, and could have, won at home.

Were is the set 3 Shockers hiding? We almost pulled out a set 2 win.
Bright side is we only had 4 service errors, which is an improvement.
Passing wasn't horrible, but we just couldn't terminate.
At one point in the 4th set, UNC had three blocks in a row, then an Izzi kill, followed by back to back UNC blocks, then a Gonzo error, then another UNC block. That was a 7-1 run with 6 points coming off blocks. It was bad.
Tomorrow is the Galligan sister showdown. Katie's sister is a freshman DS at Omaha. She didn't play against Cal Poly today, but she did play against UNC on Thursday and recorded a kill. Wonder if she will see court time against the Shockers.
Side note: I think they should have a ball kid training class. What is the point if the kids aren't going to go after the ball after the play is over? It's like they are afraid of leaving their seats to go get the ball. I'm not talking about the number of times the officials, arena staff, and players had to ask for a ball, that's an attention issue and these kids are young and easily distracted. They might pay more attention if they were more focused on the ball. I don't think the bat kids in baseball would last very long if they never went to go grab the bats or waited for the ump, or a player to toss the bat to them. Last year there was one boy that would weave around the players on the court to get the ball, he could teach the class. At some schools, there are kids that run out and wipe up the floor anytime a player hits the ground and that takes a lot more focus than tending the balls. That's more than we do here and I'm sure they don't have issues with the kids tracking down the ball after the point is over in those places. Okay, old man rant over, time for bed.

Our left side attack is killing us. Emerson has especially been bad both on the front and back row.
No way the Shocks can be competitive, let alone win, with that quality of play.
Set 1 goes to Omaha 25-19 and if the Shocks don't wake uop this will be a quick sweep for Omaha.
Maddie Wilson looked good for the one bright spot for the Shocks.

Shockers even it up with a 25-21 win in Set 2. Emerson continued to struggle but did get a big solo block and squeezed an attack in between the blockers and the net late in the set. Maddie continued to play well and Alyssa picked it up a bit.
Omaha finished themselves off with 2 attacks ii to yhe middle of the net and a service error.
Anybody's guess as to what we'll see in set 3.Last edited by 1972Shocker; 2 weeks ago.

Shocks seem to have come at flat and unfocused after the late really and grind it out win in Set 3.
Down 6-11 early.
Now 11-19.
17-25. On to set 5 with Omaha seemingly in the driver's seat.Last edited by 1972Shocker; 2 weeks ago.
