File that under: Things we love to see
Nice win.
well I didn't see that coming. 3 aces from Waak!
Did not want to say this during play but can now ...
Only three service errors - wow !!!
And three consecutive aces by Waak at the end - wow !!!

Whoop
Sorry I had to hit the road during the end of set 2 and start of set 3 but I had someone read me the entire play by play as I drove lol! Way to take control for our ladies!! What a win! That moves us to 4-0 and 2-0 against ranked opponents!
An all around effort! Glad the middle came in strong in set 3 as well as Taylor Humphrey! Beautiful volleyball!
We'll be back tomorrow night at 8pm on FS1 against Utah State
So, is Margot Manning out for the season? The continued silence surrounding what I thought was going to be our #1 setter is deafening. Not on here all the time, did I miss something?
Amazing what a coach can do to improve a program. I never understood why A&M was mediocre at best but that is no longer the case. We aren't to the elite levels of Nebraska, Penn State and Wisconsin yet but we are closing the gap rapidly.

She was also serving earlier in the 3rd set when we took control.
Another solid ranked win on the road for an underrated A&M team.
Nothing has been said definitively. I think she comes back, just have no idea when. I'd love to see her out there!

Manning was never going to be setter #1. She quite capable though.
8 aces on the year for Waak. She had 22 all of last year, love the improvement!

We are a top 10 team. Is that underrated? I hope it turns out to be!
I didn't make it over to the game but my wife drove over for both of these so at least one of my family showed up to support the Aggie!
Also, shoutout to Kyndal Stowers leading the team in digs! Big defense
One could say underrated but we are certainly ranked about right in my opinion.
Right now, we will win a lot of games due to offense but we will not be elite unless the defense steps up. They appear to be a step slower than the end of last year. We know Underwood can play lights out but she hasn't so far. We've add defensive talent in Applegate as well as Stowers and we've seen a sample of their skills. But the defense doesn't seem to have gelled yet.

We are a much better and focused serving team this year! It's showed in the big matches. Stowers, Thomas, Waak, Logan are all really tough servers. It was impressive
Quick glance at the game stats... we pretty much dominated them despite some closeness.
Much like how we gave up almost an entire set's worth of service errors in the previous game, we did the same thing again except on hitting errors. Cut those in half and we curb stomp both teams. maybe lol

Yeah I noticed that as well… we're undefeated, but I still think we leave so much out there. One game we'll put it all together and well I'll feel a little bad for whoever's on the other side (not really)
We looked sloppy and off and also dominating. Nice sweep when we had so many hitting errors.
After the game the team went to go visit where they filmed High School Musical… based on social media the girls are having a blast there lol
I like their after win pics they post of the whole team. The coaches are all in there loving it. I don't know how this year will end or where this program will end up in the years to come, but this coaching staff is really amazing.
2nd set where we gutted out a win... we had 20 kills in that set. We earned every one of those points to take that set. These girls have grit!
I think the 2nd reversed call that went Utah's way in the 2nd messed with our heads a little. And my bias thinks it was a bad reversal but we have to not let bad calls affect us better.
I got home in time to catch the review of the line call. Seeing it only from the video on screen, I saw the ball outside of the line.
and comment has been made regarding TO's. The AVCA matches had "set" TO's, at certain scores. Normally, teams have 2 TO's each per set at the coaches discretion.
USAV, college and NFHS have similar rules, but there are some differences. Just enough to frustrate the occasional VB dad's. Speaking from experience.
