VCU 2 Game thread

Watching Video, terrible buffering.

UD looking sharp out the gate, but they did at home as well.

So much for a good start down 10-5 early.

Looks like I was wrong on the lineup, lol

Can you tell me if Shayne is playing left side?

Got feed back but video is so blurry can't read numbers.

Yes Shayne on left outside.

Matt more calm on sideline.

VCU's first via Megan was so powerful it knocked Megan back and down on the floor.

23-21 need finish.

Match tied 1-1 UD wins 25-21

Asst Coach Ryan Freeburg seems to be doing most of the coaching with the team as Matt has taken a calmer approach. Might have been a bone of contention with a player or two.

UD held VCU to .182 that match while hitting .286 themselves.

Ud 2 aces but 3 serve errors
Digs VCU 25 UD 18
UD 5 blocks to 1 for VCU

Much better pass serve set two.

Nice adjustments from set 1, no panic from flyers. Both coaches and players seem more in control mode.

I haven't gotten any video -- came in late with UD at around 21 in 2nd set. Based SOLEY on the stat lines -- it LOOKS LIKE we have Shayne on the left and either Angel or Z on the right -- Turner has not played (probably an injury???). Neither has Beach per the stat line.

IF Shayne and Jill are on the left we are hitting .241 from the left side. You will beat a lot of teams with that production from the left. We are getting .357 production from Megan-Z-Angel. That is also very good especially since someone in there has to be doing some time on the right side. I would also like to see all the OHs be able to play BOTH left and right side. We use to see that a lot in the past 4-5 years. It just makes it more difficult for the opponent to game plan for you. Just more for then to worry about and try to stop. We seem to have some interchangeable parts on the outside and we should use all of that.

VCU is a tough team. They have some great talent -- probably the A-10 POY and Setter of the Year. Looking forward to the rest of this one. It should be some great vball. UD needs to get on a roll and come out strong after intermission.

I just checked on Kriskova, she is a 6'3" outside hitter who is on the Slovakia national team. It's no surprise she is getting a huge portion of their sets. She is the tallest player on the team

I don't have video -- but took a close look at the play-by-play and it appears Angel is on the rightside. She is serving and Megan serves and Janna Krafta serves for the other middle Z.

I like this line up. Let's see if it can take down VCU.

That lineup probably puts angel across from Kriskova which is a better matchup for ud.

Set 3 is a tough set so far

HItting .086 toward end of third set, not good enogh

Every time we get within one point we get miss communication at the net and lose a point, or get a net serve.

VCU .222 UD .128

Kriskova is doing all tha damage. We lose most of the long rallies.

Backs up against the wall....net set 4.

dropped third 25-22. Backs are now against the wall. Looked like VCU made some adjustments to go after Jill who was hitting around .281 after the 2nd set. She made some errors (and without video can't say if it was the pass/set or the hitting). But as a team we hit around .100 that set. We'll need to clean that up fast. I like we have our backs up against the wall. Want to see us come out swinging and getting after it in the 4th.

I haven't seen too many runs by UD. Time to take it up a notch and get on a 4-6 point run. Also need to get the block going again -- only 1 block in the 3rd set.

Hitting hasn't been good except for 2nd set. Megan and Jill have really struggled since early in the match

Not a pretty loss in set 4. Angel Agu had a very good match with five kills and five block assists. Isolde Hannan had 7 kills and 2 block assists.

VCU did what we needed to and raised their game to the next level in set 4. We had no blocks in set 4. They out-dug us 44-61. Both those stats stood out in the 4th when they took over.

All that said, we had a new line up and I would say Matt isn't done yet looking at all options and that's a good thing. If it's not working, you have to look at other options. Turner can help us -- especially in the back row. And it now looks like Beach will not redshirt, so getting her in the mix and some serious practice time is another option.

There were some good things in this match and we need to build from it. The goal is obviously being the best team in the A-10 come tourney time.

We hit .187 from the left today. That's a huge improvement, but there is work to be done. Need to get that above .220 on a consistent basis.

We did not shut down Krisvova today which was the big difference. She and their setter are just really good.

Lots to work on this week, and I think the team will get after it. No one should be taking their job for granted after this weekend.

VCU was able to find every open space on the floor whereas UD couldn't find theirs. It wasn't pretty to watch, lots of miscommunications. VCU was able to take UD out of its game and UD was out of rhythm. Poor pass for the most part.

VCU is the much better team right now, well coached and finely tuned. UD is still experimenting. Our only hope is to get it all together by tourney time.

10 games left in conference, should win no less than 9. That would give us 10-4 or 11-3 and in 3rd/4th place.

Use the rest of the season to fine tune the machine and capture the tourney.

Disappointing loss.

No Turner for second straight match. Injured or not?

No Beach today but stats show Gresham playing 1 set. However, can't find her in play-by-play. Coding error?

Passing was not good, too many miscommunications at the net on who was going to take the hit. Good news is we won't see VCU again till tourney time, lots of time to prepare for them again.

Didn't see Gresham in there nor did I hear her name called, but then couldn't read the jersey numbers.

I agree with beckystxa, the combo of Jill and Shayne on the outside was pretty productive. I believe this is the first time that shayne has played left outside at UD. I would expect her to improve quite a bit. The team can improve enough to beat VCU in the tournament and that is now the goal. But, if you are going to let Kriskova get 22 kills you had better shut down everyone else which didn't happen.

Duquesne only contender left on schedule. Matt can now work on each player individually and collectively. Give everyone playing time to get experience and see who steps up.

I do not understand this team. Did we really lose that much from last year, or has the coaching change been a problem?

We are the worst digging team in the A10. However, my theory is it has less to do with our actual digging talent and more to do with our poor receive and passing, allowing the other team to run an offense on our soft return game that quickly turns the points around. We put the other team in far too good a position to win an easy point because we do not receive serves or pass well on the initial return. With the opponent getting their first crack at us in a much more favorable position on each point, we are already scrambling and out of position -- or just giving away too many softballs and even the best diggers in the country are not going to be able to dig out point blank gravy shots.

On the other hand, we are the best blocking team in the A10 because our block is predicated on us doing the serving instead of the receiving.

I think both stats are a direct reflection of our receive and passing.

I am not a volleyball player or coach however, I just play one on TV. I could be way off base here. But I dont think our lack of digging prowess has much to do with our defense. Not that our defense cant be better, but I think our dig defense is poor b/c our offense is poor. The dig defense is just collateral damage from the prior three inadequate touches in the point (on offense).

Gotta give VCU credit. They swept both matches. They are the best in the league. The king is dead, long live the king? Perhaps not. But, I disagree that Duquesne is the only other contender. We are going to have our hands full every night against just about anyone until we figure out a way to get a return game going. Its obvious Affolder is trying all sorts of things to find the secret sauce.

If we don't go 9-1 or at least 8-2 the rest of the conference season then we have far more issues than players and coaches.

My uneducated response to Jack72. In my opinion, we lost to graduation one of the best left outside hitters, Krabacher, and setters, Selsky, that Dayton has ever had. This combo resulted in a lot of offense and kills.

Due to coaching change, and other issues, the team has gottten very little out of the remaining incoming freshmen. A related problem is shown at Daytonflyers.com/women's volleyball/roster where a #3 is shown on the left side of the team picture. Fortner left the team some time after the red/white game in which she had good numbers. I believe she may have been projected as a setter.

The coaching change has probably had some effect. Urban Meyer did not get the type of team he wanted in Ohio State's first year.

I agree with UDBrian. I hope we improve enough to have a good chance of winning the A-10 tournament to get to the NCAA's. Next year's team, as it now stands, without Megan and Shayne appears very iffy.

We've already lost to a 4-9 team on our home court. Other than LaSalle -- whom we've already played -- Im not sure there are any more gimmes.

SLU was not your typical 4-9 team, like us they played a tough pre conference schedule including Nebraska.

VCU has a 31 game schedule and playing quite a few non conf teams during the conference season, games on Tuesday. VCU beat Duquesne 3-2 and has to play them again as well as SLU twice. While I highly doubt we can catch them we could still come in at the top 3.

Duquesne is tough and SLU is getting tougher. I expect us to do the same as we hone in on our players and positions. We have a couple aspects of our game down pretty good and need to clean up a couple more to get back to UD vball.

No question we don't have anyone who can replace Kray, Sam and Paige. Asking Turner to be our Kray is asking a lot and possibly putting too much pressure on her.

I do like the change in Matt's sideline demeanor as I believe he now sees his team is a work in progress instead of maintaining the past seasons performances. He has the talent, now to get all the peices to fit together and execute effectively and consistently will be the challenge.

I like this line up. Let's see if it can take down VCU.
This Photo shows Z in the middle and Megan on the right side. I wonder if it was Shayne/Jill on the left, Z/Angel in the middle, and Megan/Jenna on the right. Or maybe a combination of Z/Angel/Megan in middle and right switching things around.

Couldn't find any photos on VCU's site that showed the Dayton bench well enough to see if Alaina was in street clothes or not.

This is an interesting photo. It does appear Z and Megan played in the front row at the same time at least for a set, if not the whole match???? We know Angle served and Megan served. I tried to look up the archived VCU play-by-play and/or the video to check subs, but it's not up yet. Megan could have been playing right side this match????? With Z and Angel at MB. If so, kudos to her and Shayne Brown for stepping up with some senior leadership.

I think Turner has some type of injury because I would look at playing her in the back row even if she had been replaced in the front rotation. She is our 2nd leading digger this season and has improved that part of her game a lot. She also would be able to attack from the back row as a DS and that would help our out-of-system offense.

BecksTXA comment on Turner

I agree that "considering" a shift from left OH to the back row (DS) sounds like an great change if she (Turner) is willing.

My old school, U C Santa Barbara ( yes, you have heard this before ), just switched Leah Scully, an OH, to Libero ( I assume Libero is a back row position). She was, and still is, third on the team with 136 kills for the season (team leaders have 151 & 145 kills), but she also has 172 digs which is 6th in the conference. She had a team leading 16 digs in last Saturday's 3-1 win. This move appears to have added defense, added back row offense and made more minutes available to the two kill leaders. The UCSB coach making this move is very experienced.

A similar situation could work for Dayton and Turner.

Yes, the libero is a defensive specialist. The libero is your best defensive specialist who normally plays half the court on serve receive. You want the libero to pass as many balls as possible on defense and serve receive because she is your best passer.

Alaina has improved her defense and passing a lot since her arrival. One disadvantage that Alaina has is that she didn't play back row in high school (I am assuming since she played mb). It takes a lot of reps to pass nails. Janna Krafka said that her ex coach served 500 balls a day to her before her arrival at UD and she played libero for years with a great technical teacher.

Turner make our team better when she is on the court because she is our 2nd best passer (next to our Libero Krafka) and she is an offensive threat from the back row. She also appears to be the only OH that can play all 6 rotations -- meaning the back row.

What I'd like to see is we use all our hitters and place them during any given set in the best combination to stop the other team and maximize our chances of terminating points. We have the rest of the A-10 schedule to figure this all out and the players are going to need more time to settle in and make adjustments as well as getting use to different sets at different position from Jenna. Brown has played left OH for 2 matches. It looks like Megan played right OH last match. I'd like to see Loiars, Z and Angel taking swings from the right side. I'd like to see Brown and Turner - who both have the quickest swings on the team -- running a fast - low set offense from the right if Jenna and they can get in the gym and get their timing down. Earlier this year we saw a tandem set on the left. I'd like to see that on the right side also. Send the MB out wide and the rightside OH to the middle.

I've seen this many times in both sports and business. It's the 2-3 little things you change and BAM all of a sudden everything is working like a well oiled machine.

It has to be tough right now, but it's so important the team stays together and they have to get behind the game plan. They have to believe in themselves and the entire program. The goal is to be the best team in the A-10 come tourney time. And I have seen this before. A DI basketball team made two little lineup changes mid way thru the season and by tourney time they were the best in the conference. When they won the conference tourney the win got them to .500 on the year and a ticket to the big dance.

The team has GOT to STAY TOGETHER and they need to get their SWAGGER back on blocking. That's were it starts while we work on everything else.
