Louisville Invitational

[1972Shocker]

Shocks up 18-8 in Set 1.

I was looking at the scouting for this weekend at GoShockers and found this funny:

Scouting Pittsburgh

The Panthers finished 17-14 in 2008 and 8-6 in the Big East. Pitt returns three starters and eight litterwinners and is picked to finish eighth in the Big East. The Panthers are led by second-year head coach Toby Rens.

[1972Shocker]

Amanda Backes hitting well.

[1972Shocker]

Shocks win first set 25-15.

Mike Kennedy a little off his game. Kept saying the Shockers needed to get to 30 to win. Forgot the change last year.

Getting in on Mike's conversation with someone during the timeout. So far no embarrassing comments but no juicy tidbits either.

[1972Shocker]

Tied at 6-6 in Set 2.

[1972Shocker]

Time out Shockers with Set 2 tied at 12 all.

[1972Shocker]

Shocks fall behind 15-17 in Set 2.

[1972Shocker]

Shocks fall behind at 17-19. Makiing too many service errors.

Shox up 20-19, timeout Belmont

[1972Shocker]

Time-out Belmont. Shocks on a mini-run to take a 20-19 lead. Set 2 a total toss up at this point.

Great rally for the ladies, timeout Belmont, Shox lead 23-20

[1972Shocker]

Time out Belmont with Shocks taking a 23-20 lead behind a couple of good kills by Sara McGee.

:clap: :goshocks:

[shocks771]

Shox almost let it slip away but win set two 25-23 to take a 2-0 lead. Time to finish it out strong ladies, bury them!

[1972Shocker]

Whew! That was a tough set. More like what I was expecting out of Belmont. As 771 said let's comeback strong in Set 3 and finish this match off.

Belmont no doubt gained some confidence in Set 2.

Shox hitting .310 thru the first two sets and have held Belmont to .033. That's strong!
