Shocks @ Bradley & Loyola, 9/26 and 9/27

[1972Shocker]

Lambo happy with the win but not particularly happy with his team.

Lambo really critical about teamwork......I didn't think we were that bad. Interesting. I do think Loyola was not good, but it seems like that's how they've played a lot this year.

6-0 road weekend...he's trying to keep it in perspective.

As a redshirt junior, perhaps Gabby Urban's last year (reading into Lambo's comments)

Loyola hits .230 to WSU .229

Looking at the stats not sure how WSU won. Only won the serving game.

Couldn't ask much more out of Abbie and Katie vs Loyola with a combined 21-1-36 for a 0.556 hitting percentage. Abbie and Katie have probably been our most consistent offensive weapons this year. I think Emily has been pretty consistent.

Clearly we have struggled finding consistency at the pins and perhaps somewhat in the serve and pass game. Mikaela has shown flashes of brilliance but has also had a few matches where she really struggled. Consistency has pretty much always been an issue for Ashlyn. Mash is starting to show more consistency I think. Jenny is a lot of fun to watch but is still learning the game.

One thing I do really like about this team though is that they do seem to have a capacity to keep grinding even when things are going there way.

What were getting is probably what we should have expected considering all the inexperience and new faces. Looking forward to next Friday's match with UNI.
