Shocks grind out a 25 - 21 3rd set win to finish off their 2nd sweep of the day.
Nice work Shocks.
Emily Hiebert's line: 32 assist, 14 digs, 4 service aces, 3 blocks assists a 5-1-6 attack line and a partridge in a pear tree.
Lambo: 6 sets and 6 different lineups. Emily Hiebert is the best player in the Tournament. Really likes the ETSU libero. Don't forget that Giorgia is a freshman and looks fantastic (22 digs to lead the Shocks).Last edited by 1972Shocker; August 26, 2017, 07:37 PM.

Interesting on the playing back-to-back matches today. Initially the Shockers were setup to play single matches on Friday, Saturday and Sunday but that was setup when they were still in the Valley. The joined the AAC and have 20 play dates in that conference and you can only have 28 plays dates so WSU said they would have to compress their play to 2 days. Therefore, they ended up playing two matches back-to-back today.

Hopefully, ETSU will be able to squeeze into the top 100 of the RPI again this year. They have losses to the Shocks and Arizona plus the loss to Lipscomb should not be a bad loss. They still have some decent matches left on their non-con schedule as well. vs Virginia, at Appalachian State who took Missouri State to 5 sets, at Western Kentucky, vs Pittsburgh, and at Virginia Tech.
Both ETSU and Lipscomb play Western Kentucky. Not a household name but Western Kentucky was 30-3 last year with an RPI of around 15.

Lambo also made some comments about the middles. Some of it was mildly technical, so I won't pretend to understand it all. They are still trying to work Abbie into her new role - the new middles are all getting their first real experience - partially because of that (and how quick they are to the ball), we play slower with them - the skill set of certain middles complement certain outsides better as they are "paired" and move across the front row in their rotation.
I think that is the best I can un-confuse it.

Set 1
Lipscomb, 25-13.
Arizona HC Dave Rubio had already used his second timeout at 6-11, apparently not liking what he was seeing. He was clearly right.
Set 2
Lipscomb, 31-29.
Since this is a televised match, three challenges are available to the coaches during the entire match. If the coach is right, they do not keep the challenge - three is all you get. Each coach had a call reversed in this set.Last edited by flyingMoose; August 26, 2017, 09:34 PM.
