According to the box score - Turner had only a single block assist. Of course, we had precious few blocks as a team.
It looked to me like the Duck hitters were just beating our block big time - often hitting over us. The diggers in the back were getting hung out to dry as the high velocity rockets were coming at them.
I did think that as the match went on we started to adapt to the high level of play - making the third set pretty competitive. Still, if we play them 10 times, we probably don't win any. The better, bigger, stronger team won. The solution is to get better - and we will.
I believe we got as much out of this team as possible. The only match with any regret was against tosu. Great season ladies.
