18. No, Brown doing a 2-year masters in 2 years.
She will be rooming with Spieler next year when Spieler will be playing as a grad student.

have mentioned Spieler’s connection to Stand-Ma’a several times over the past few years. And That Spieler’s father and Brown’s father were roommates in college. Spieler’s mom roomed with Lisa’s twin Kelly at Cal Poly. The families are very close.

Don’t know if the Browns have come to all the sand matches. Spieler’s grandparents have been here for most matches. They are Lisa’s parents.

16 & 17; thanks for explaining. So is Brown completing a two yr masters program in 1 year ?
Looks like Spieler is a good student to graduate in 3 yrs. The roster noted she is a niece of Lisa Strand-Ma’a. Lisa said Brown’s parents watch all her games in person, i think.

15. unlike Brown, who graduated after four years at Notre Dame and only had one year left of eligibility, Boyan graduated in 3 1/2 years from Western Kentucky. She had the spring of her senior year to play another sport, which she is doing, and she has a year left to play sand next season at UH.
She will do it as a grad student. As Katie Spieler will be next year. Speiler is graduating in three years. She and Brown will be roommates next year. Brown is completing a two-year masters program.

Brittany Tiegs and Sammie Brown lost to Grand Canyon’s Shannon Dugan and MacKenzie Phelps 21-19, 21-18.
last match played in some nasty conditions with mini sand storms, rain and strong gusts of wind.

11. they never even practiced together before playing yesterday. Got better Sunday the more they played together. Brown said after that with a little more time, they would have been better. They both had to make adjustments, especially when both had to block more than they were used to. and they were switching sides of the court to cover. All things considered they did well.

12. You don’t know that for sure. Taylor still needs to see the doctor Monday and they’ll determine what happens after that. She’ll still need to be cleared by the trainer.

if you read what I wrote at 8, she said she’d be back Wednesday. Hall wasn’t so sure. There’s no need to use her this weekend. He said her elbow has some inflamation. She had it well taped today when watching matches.

they are a new team, and Phelps and Dugan are no slouches, they gave Tiegs/Cook battles last year and this year have gone the distance against most of the top teams.

Looks like Nikki’s injury isn’t serious, so Tiegs/Taylor should be back together, and Brown will be back with Rooks.
