The Lady Shockers take on South Carolina tomorrow morning in the round of 64.

This appears to be a very winnable match for the Shocks.



Good luck Shocks!

This has the feel of the NCAA volleyball tournament a few years back where WSU was the underdog seed-wise, but swept Nevada and played a competitive match against #1 Nebraska. They have played well this season and are poised to turn some heads in the tourney.

Go Lady Shox!!

[WuDrWu]

Lady Shocks take the doubles point and lead 1-0.


They need a split of the singles matches to advance.



Torrie Browning is about to go down in the #6 match (6-1, 5-0).



We need 3 of 5 now but only lead in 1.

[WuDrWu]

Now 2 - 1 USC.



Miranda Gutierrez (USC) d Torrie Browning (WSU) 6-1 6-0 at #6.

Natasa Vuckovich (USC) d Lenore Lazaroiu (WSU) 6-0 6-3 at #3.




We trail badly at the #2 and are about to win the #5.


If those results hold (and they will) WSU will need to sweep the remaining 2 singles matches.


The good news: Madina Rakhim just took the first set in her match 7-6.


The bad news: Stephanie Dalmacio dropped the first set in her match 7-5.


WSU needs them both to advance.

[WuDrWu]

The doubles point was won as follows:




Madina Rakhim/Florentina Hanisch WSU d Gira Schofield/Anna Marija Zubori USC 8-6.

Schofield/Zubori were ranked #35.


Stepanie Dalmacio/Anna Egorova WSU d Christyn Lucas/Natasa Vuckovic USC 8-5.

Lucas/Vuckovic were ranked #57.


Laura Granzer/Miranda Gutierrez USC d Jackie Richey/Lenore Lazaroiu WSU 8-2.

[WuDrWu]

Officially 3-2 USC now and the Shocks are on the ropes.



Ana Marija Zubori, USC d Florentina Hanisch WSU 6-3, 6-1

Zubori is ranked #109


Anna Egorova, WSU d Christyn Lucas, USC 6-3, 6-2


WSU trails in the #4 and down a break in the 2nd at #1.

[WuDrWu]

At the #1 singles match a final just in:


Madina Rakhim WSU d Gira Schofield USC 7-6, 6-1.
