Lambo says Miami does some different things they don't often see and are a hard scout. He mentioned they run a double slide which is is about concerned about defending because it's something they don't generally see or have to deal with.

Shockers v Miami (OH)

Pre-game

Miami is a bit unorthodox, so there is some worry about defensive lapses.

Brooke and Emma will be on the floor, but who is where was not decided. Abbie, Tabitha and Mikaela will be in the same places relative to Emily.

There may have been some earlier stuff. I had to restart the browser and reload the audio to get it to start.


I will be gone for the duration after the first set, perhaps before. Somebody pick us (the forum, not me) up.

[1972Shocker]

Shocks hurting themselves early with errors. Miami's first 5 points were on 3 Shocker hitting errors and 2 service errors.

Miami leading 9-6.

Shocks edge ahead at 16-13 behind Tabitha's good work.

Two attack errors (Miami Blocks) and a Service Error give Miami a 19-18 lead and Lambo calls timeout. Shocks needt to play a bit cleaner.

Two more points out of the time out puts Miami up 21-18 and Lambo wants another timeout.

Set 1 goes to Miami 25-21.

[flyingMoose]

Set 1

Well, this is a wonderful start. Error by Tabitha, error by Emma, error by Tabitha before Tabitha gets a touch and a kill.

4-4. 8-11. 12-11 for the first Shocker lead.

Using kills by Tabitha, the score moves to 17-14.

Red Hawk kills and Shocker errors yield an 18-19 score and a Shocker timeout.

A Miami service ace and then kill makes it 18-21, and Lambo uses his second timeout.


Shockers 21-25 Miami (OH)

The Shockers never got their momentum back. Both played five sets earlier, but the Red Hawk played the later one.

.244 v .351. 1 block v 3.


See 'ya.

[1972Shocker]

I don't think the Shocks will want to go down 0-2 again. Shocks need to take this 2nd set but they are going to have to play much better to do that.

[1972Shocker]

Shocks fall behind 0-3 again in the 2nd set.

Shocks rallly to take a 12-9 lead behind Chase Jackson. Still this match just doesn't have a great feel to it. Shocks just seem to be a bit out of sync (when Emily hits two serves into the net in less than half a set you know you are a bit out of sync).

A kill by Emily to save a potential overpass by Giorgia, a Abbie/Emily Block and a Tabitha kill put the the Shocks up 16-12 and Miami takes a tiime out.

A Chase Jackson kill, her 4th in 5 swings in this set, puts the Shocks up 21-15 and Miami uses their final time out.

Set 2 belongs to the Shocks 25-16. Some nice work from freshman Chase Jackson and Brooke Smith in that set.

Shocks hit .448 for the set to .187 (or something like that) for Miami. The Shocks had 4 blocks Set 2 after getting only 1 in Set 1.

In Manhattan but listening. Tough win G1, hopefully taking control on game 2. Go Shox!

[1972Shocker]

Only a 3 minute break between Sets 2 and 3.

Shocks fall behind 2-0 in this set. Why change things up.

A combination of kills by Mikaela and Tabitha plus a couple of hitting errros by Miami puts the Shocks up 10-5 and Miami takes a time out.

Shocks double up the Redhawks at 18-9 primarily behind Tabitha and Mikaela.

An Emily 2nd touch kill ends the set at 25-13 as the Shocks go up 2-1. I really would prefer not to go to a 5th set in this one.

For the match the Shocks are now hitting .340 to .182 for Miami.

[1972Shocker]

Set 4 - Let's end it here Shocks and call it a good day.

Miami goes up 2-0 for the 4th consecutive set. I guess that's just the way it has to be.

Tight 4th set as it's tied at 13-all.

Miami takes a 15-14 lead on a Giorgia overpass that Emily tried to play and reached over the net. Lambo wants a time out.

Big solo block by Abbie to put the Shocks up 17-16. A Miami attack error makes it 18-16 and the Redhawks take a time out.

Miami ties it again at 19-all.

Miami takes a 24-22 lead on a service ace that Giorgia could not handle. Lambo takes his last time out.

Someone must have pulled the plug on Mike. Hopefully, the Live Stats will be accurate.

A service error and an attack error by Miami pulls the Shocks even at 24-all.

Kills by Tabitha and Mikaela give the Shocks the win 27-25. Whew! That was not easy.

Mike still off the air so may not be a post-game show.

[1972Shocker]

Tabitha Brown with 24 kills breaks her career best set earlier today against Marquette. (24-6-45 = .400)

Mikaela Raudsepp had a good match with 14 kills. (14-3-34 = .324)

Brooke Smith was 7-0-14 = .500 and fellow freshman Chase Jackson was 5-2-12 = .250.

Emily was 6-2-9 = .444 with 47 assists, 8 digs and 3 block assists. Emily did have 3 service errors which is extremely rare for her.

Abbie chipped in with a 9-3-22 = .273 hitting line plus 2 solo blocks and 4 block assists.

I guess we will have to catch Lambo's show on Monday to find out what he thought about this match. Even though it is Labor Day the schedule indicates their is a show at 6:30 pm.
