Win or Go Home Time

25-19. Trees were a little better at the end there but still it wasn't in doubt. Going into the break.

Need to work a little bit on our killer instinct.

[1972Shocker]

Shocks with their typical slow 3rd set start.

[WuDrWu]

Lambo very prophetic in between sets when he said he felt the Trees had a lot more to offer. I guess the girls didn't listen so well.

Trees 9-6

[WuDrWu]

Shocks on a run up 12-11 now.

18-15 Shocks.

I'm of the opinion that playing on Thursday in the Valley Tournament is not a particular disadvantage as long as you take care of business and avoid and energy-sapping 4 or 5 set marathon. Mission accomplished by the Shocks.

So they head into their very tough match with UNI tomorrow evening with a nice warm-up in UNI's house in the bag.

Nice to get that 20th win for the 12th consecutive year but the big prize is to secure a 7th consecutive trip to the dance.

Excited for this evening's big match. Let's go ladies!

[WuDrWu]

I am as well. I have no feeling about the match. I think WSU is playing better, and certainly we're scoring better of late. Ability to put the ball down is huge against the Panthers.

That being said, they have to be in our heads. We've hardly beaten them the last 4 or 5 seasons it seems. As tough and defensive as UNI is, I think it's imperative that WSU start strong. Winning the first set and sending a message that you're going to have to grind like never before to beat us would be a huge step in turning this trend around. I hope the ladies are firing on all cylinders tonight.

Go Shocks!

It is my guess that that is the reason Mikaela played front row yesterday and Jenny became a little - Mikaela has a better chance to get more balls on the floor. Or varnish, if you will. :)

16-15 ISUr in Set 1, Bears looking pretty good though.
