Think it was a very winnable match for UH. They got stuck in a couple of bad rotations, one where Ramos is in the front row, and with Kanetake in the back, really limited the offensive choices. Mol is going to be a very good player. Olsen needs to work on his serve-receive. anyway, stat-wise Zarkovic and Olsen each with 13, West with 9. Warriors ended up getting outblocked 12.5-8.5. UCLA with 8 blocks in Set 4. all-tournmanet team: UCLA: […]

A very quick 75 minutes and it wasn’t as close as the scores. Bruins win 25=15, 25-23, 25-21, UCLA with nine aces, Quiroga with 5. Their 7-foot opposite Page with 12 kills. Buckeyes were 6-6-22 in Set 1. UCLA played HBA grad Michael Fisher 7-3-13. went with their backup libero in Smith.
98 minutes, not a bad start. Warriors will have to do a better job blocking Friday against Penn State. UH got outblocked 7.5-3 tonight by the Buckeyes. And probably serve better. 14 SEs, although they cut it down after 7 in Set 1. Thought Ramos did a nice job of set distribution.
