Pitt vs Louisville - Volleyball Game Thread

Let’s go…

Good match so far, but I think we’re a little more talented and that will end up winning it.

Klika looking much better so far from the bit I’ve seen (sharing the tv with my kiddo currently…)

Man, this one’s gonna be a heart pounder. These are two really good teams.

Yep. Seems like you’ve really got to earn every single point. No gimmees today.

Agree. I was hoping that Louisville might be tight with the pressure to get to the finals in their home town. But they're passing and digging well. Pitt could receive serve a little better. So stressful. H2P!

I’m hoping that as long as we absorb this initial burst of energy, they might run out of steam by the third set. Especially if we finish this first set strong and kind of take the wind out of their sails.

Tell them Bluey plays for Pitt.

 

[plcp]

Very good defense

 

[Chaos]

I was hoping that we finished out the set without them getting any momentum. Now I'm hoping that we finish out on the next serve. H2P

Set 1 goes to Pitt 25-21.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

One down, two to go.

Difference right now is that Pitt is better out of system than Louisville.

 

[mike412]

Babcock in first set: 22 swings, 9 kills. She seems to have perfected hitting it off their blockers’ hands.

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

Volleyball really is an exciting sport. Great job so far.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Babcock hits .381, Stafford .385 and Vazquez Gomez .364.

 

[mike412]

Cabbalo is a little scary with her serve. She had a run of 6 against Stanford and 4 against us.

 

[FreeportPanther]

Pitt women are on a mission. They are just exuding confidence.

 

[pittchagg]

Klika looking much better so far from the bit I’ve seen (sharing the tv with my kiddo currently…)

Bumping this because she’s been incredible.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Great start to this set. Let's bury them!

 

[zookeeper2000]

Pitt up 7-2 in set 2.

 

[Fk_Pitt]

Is it me or did Emily come to play tonight?

 

[zookeeper2000]

This game is like when two good boxers come out from the opening bell and start throwing haymakers for the entire first round.

 

[zookeeper2000]

Set 2 is tied 11-11

 

[Chaos]

Should have called time out instead of challenging that call

 

[mike412]

Fisher needed a TO when Louisville made it 11-9.

 

[zookeeper2000]

Louisville up 21-19 in set 2

 

[mike412]

Their designated servers have 9 points. Ours have 2.

Edit: Now 9 to 4.

 

[Chaos]

Come on Pitt-finish this! H2P

 

[ThePanthers]

I can’t take this!!!

 

[Fk_Pitt]

Their designated servers have 9 points. Ours have 2.

So frustrating. But at least we just got a couple.

 

[persp]

Something I think that is pretty cool is that before Liv and Torrey arrived, this same Louisville team was the juggernaut that Pitt had to strain to overcome yearly. They were just better.

Now, Pitt is to Louisville now what Louisville was to Pitt back then.

AND ITS BASICALLY THE SAME LOUISVILLE TEAM

Thats nuts to think about

 

[Chaos]

So frustrating. But at least we just got a couple.

Our 3 service errors this set are coming back to bite us, as they usually do in this type of match. H2P

 

[zookeeper2000]

Lousville wins set 2: 25-23

 

[Chaos]

I wish Klika had more digs that stayed in play

 

[ThePanthers]

Ville with set 2. Feels if we don’t get that initial kill it’s cards point

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

Yup - those mistakes are the difference in an even matchup.

 

[persp]

Louisville played really well that set. They gonna have to keep that level up to win

 

[persp]

I cant stand Elena Scott.

But its just because she is so damn good.

Imma go yell at a cloud or something

 

[ThePanthers]

I hate the behind the net view
