That really was a nice comeback. To some degree, LMU exploited the same weakness as St Marys: non-Mary lake passing. The difference is that LMU is actually a solid team (50-60 range), and their serving in the first two sets was legitimately impressive. I didn't think BYU was as well as they should've even conditional on the serving, but that was legit serving pressure by LMU (kind of the women's equivalent of what Ohio State does in the Men's game). In sets 3-5, LMU serving pressure dropped off a little and BYU absolutely crushed them.

Their setter played a phenomenal game. And their middle blocker was dominant. Was frustrating to see roni struggle so much tonight. Without her playing well the offense is a little too predictable.

Finally, BYU simply couldn't get San Diego out of system off their serves enough. It was too easy for San Diego to quick set the middle before BYU's block could get there.Last edited by pelagius; 10-28-2017, 12:04 AM.

Originally posted by pelagius View PostI didn't think it was her fault. Passing was simply bad. Well, it's in part her fault because she was forced to pass a lot and she struggled. Since St. Mary's, teams have really zeroed in on serving specific defenders. They go after either Jones-Perry or Martindale (they are not in the back row together because Martindale rotates with Miller); both struggled to pass. Resulting sets were poor. I also think Mary Lake must be banged up a bit. I didn't think she was covering as much ground as usual; nor was she as aggressive in terms of stepping in front of other back court people. Also, I thought BYU really missed Taylen Ballard. Without her they really struggle to get much production on the right side against good tea ms (Olmstead played three different people at opposite to try to get some production).

Women won at Gonzaga in a pedestrian manner but took the match 3 sets to 0."Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."
Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

They should be seeded higher but given the NCAA's over-reliance on RPI it's about as a good as the ladies could hope for. Obviously, it's nice to host again (3 in a row hosting)

As disappointing as the big sports have been. BYU has been impressive at the sports that people don't talk about as much.
