i have not seen her play before - just started watching these matches = but she certainly does not look anywhere close to being Pitt's best player.
Volleyball v Purdue (Elite 8)
- Thread starter Black Panther
- Start date
This match is over if Akeo had been sat down in set 2.
She continues to constantly set Lund, who is being doubled. I don’t know if she is injured or the serves are so far off, but she isn’t even getting good swings. Gray and Member-Mensah have been hot and Fairbanks has had some good swings and been a much more effective setter.

Some things don’t change. The sun rises in the East. And, Akeo serves into the bottom of the net.
Of course Pitt also got five points off her serve late in the 3rd set to essentially win that set.
First final four for volleyball and first victory over Purdue. Now 1-12 against the boilermakers. H2P
This was really a great win. For the most part they neutralized Purdue’s blocks with strikes from the middle. Gray and Fairbanks were excellent but Member-Mensah was All-World today.
I thought we would have trouble with Purdue because of their size and defense. But, we played very fast and they don’t have great foot speed and couldn’t get into position to block.
This was not one that could have gone either way. This was, for a match between two Top Six teams, a dominant win.

Yes.She got hurt late in the season.Diving after a ball I believe.
Well she just hit .421 in the win over Penn State, so sure, there have been games this year where she was as good as in the past. But overall, for the whole season, no, she has not been as good.
As I said, Pitt in 4. This is an elite team. They might not win it all, but they are elite. Best hitters in the country, and the setting has been so much better than last year.
My impression as well. Last year ACC POY.
This year, where would she finish for team POY?
