Bertolino was on my radar because of her elite
Ace percentage & being ranked as the
top passer in the ACC as tracked by this guy who aggregates metrics on a national scale. She was predictably lethal for them tonight. Fortunately, Babcock gave them nearly as many problems on serve, particularly in Set 1.
Yet another time Nwokolo shows up in a high stakes game - happy for her. Felt Monks deserved more looks as a counterbalance to Babcock - she was near automatic tonight.
The names on the back of the jerseys were a nice touch. Bringing Tautau'a in completely ice cold in a late match serve situation was anything but.
Where is Babcock's ceiling? Like, is this ending anywhere short of her representing her home city at the 2028 Olympics?
