Crap I really wanted Pitt to be up 2-0.PSU takes set 2 25-23. Pitt had led 23-22. 🤬
Good win who is next?
Would I be captain obvious if I said we don't win that match without Lund?
She was awesome. I loved her little smile she was flashing after those aces. Without her I don’t know what the outcome would have been, but I think we lose one of those final two sets and it goes to 5.Vasquez-Gomez with a nice run of serves at the end, including an ace at 23-23.
I think if healthy this could be a tough team to beat. In a way, it’s the opposite of the men’s soccer team. Lund comes back and makes them formidable. But the soccer team wasn’t going to get their best player back and we saw the post season results.pitt wins the acc Championship in football, lund returns like a knight in freaking shining armor to hit 400 against UPS in an NCAA tournament game. I cant handle all these good vibes
Serving is very much a focus thing. Mental mistakes due to lack of focus cause the serving errors. Especially at this level.Lind was great but Member-Mensah was no slouch. She carried Pitt in the first set. Fairbanks had a nice match too with a caveat. The caveat is that she almost never had a blocker on her when she hit because they were doubling whoever was on the left (Lund or Member-Mensah) and singling the other hitter. You can’t judge how good she would have been getting her strikes past a block. She also was effective as a setter. She made a beautiful quick back set to Ndee on a very important point.
We still had too many service errors though. That’s been a recurrent problem and I’m not sure there is a way to fix it.
I still think Texas’ serving makes them the favorite.
