tOSU Thread

tOSU isn't that good this year. They are 6-4. They weren't picked very high in the Big10 preseason poll (8th). This is a winnable match for UD but we have to stay focused and do not let them go on point runs.

One thing I think we have done better the last two weeks or so is control our serves. You have to stay aggressive, but controlled. We have a lot of different types of servers. That can keep a defense off-balance. With less service errors the last couple matches, I'd like to see us push our aggressiveness up one more notch today.

Earlier in the year we were committing too many blocking errors (which basically means we were in the net.). Those have also dropped way down. But we have not been a team that penetrates over the net on blocks both last year and this year. My guess is we were trying to penetrate earlier in the year and picking up the blocking errors, so we backed off some. I'd like to see 2-3 of our hitters getting after it again, working on the penetration over the net on blocks. Maybe this is something we wait to work on during A10 play when we can give up a couple blocking errors each match and still win. But before the NCAAs, we need to improve.

Flyers need to come out strong today and stay fired up and focused. Focus on what's happening on our side of the net. Commit to the game plan and execute.

I really hate gametracker stats. I can't believe the Big10 uses them. At least we don't have the bouncing ball like we did ten years ago. Lol.

The distracting bouncing ball is not missed.

This game has started 3-3. At least we didn't give up 11 points to start this match.

Ohio State has contained Amber so far. She has only 1 error, but has only got 3 kills on 9 attempts. Way below the high numbers we know she is capable of.

Of course, Amber has 3 kills since I said she was being contained.

Dayton down 8-14

Dayton losses set 2 25-18, but is tied mid way through set 3.

Dayton are OSU are knotted up at 13 in the third.

In an unexpected twist Olivia Dubay and Jordan Albarann have recorded kills for the Flyers.

Ohio State leads 21-19 in the 3rd

Dayton needs a comeback.

OSU takes a 23-20 lead. This is not looking good.

Dayton loses the 3rd 25-21. That is the match.

Dayton's defense could not stop OSU. The buckeyes hit 0.336 to dayton's 0.248

Lauren Bruns swung really well this weekend. I hope she makes the all tournament team. She deserve it even if she doesn't always play 6 rotations.

Jessica Sloan only played in two sets. I didn't watch the match. I only followed the stats, but that could be the worst stat from this match. Who knows why, but I hope she is okay.

Flyers get swept. Was hoping we could be more competitive this weekend. I know we miss Peterson but this team should still be able to beat some top 75 teams. Our best win is #90 Miami.

Gut-check Time

We've got one match this week - SLU. Six days to prepare. I'm assuming with Peterson back in a sling she had surgery on the shoulder. That's a guess. I heard Pla has a broken thumb, but I have not confirmed that so don't hold me to it. She's been out 3 weeks??? I'm guessing a broken bone would be 6 weeks out??? Hopefully someone knows more about that then I do and can chime in. I'm sure Peterson is out for the year, but if Pla is a broken thumb, she should be back during A10 play. Hopefully sooner than later because she got some good experience last year and did well as a freshman. We need help defensively at the net. As a team, we also need to find a more consistant offensive attack from the Rightside. It's a team issue, not just a hitter issue. We don't run a lot of slides with the MBs, but some and all 3 OHs swing from the right. As a team we have to find a consistant Rightside threat or other teams can park their block to the left and middle too easily.

I also think the coaching staff and the team need to wipe the slate clean and recommit to each other to get on the same page. It's all about A10 play going forward. The first 4 weeks are done and over. What happens this Friday is all that matters. Here's what I worry about...

How much damage did last year's schedule do for this group of veteran players? Did All those easy wins create a false sense of accomplishment and a false comfort level of how good (or not good) the team really was/is? We did not play that great during the last 1/3 of the A10 last year and we lost in the first round of the NCAAs to a team we were suppose to beat. When was the last time we played a very good entire match against a solid opponent? In my opinion, it was the second SLU match last year when we reached our peak and we really haven't played well since then. That was the end of Oct 2016 - almost 11 months ago.

There was a time when the leadership within a Dayton Flyer volleyball team took ownership of the team's performance. There was a time the team leaders called team-only meetings and a team team practices on their day off to fix performance problems. Have we lost that within the program? I think it's Chris R that has said in the past, "You are what your record says you are." This team has to decide to clear the slate and re-start this season. Right now they aren't even playing as well as last year and it's basically the same team that should be playing better, even with Peterson out. Gut-check time ladies. You control your own destiny, but you have to have a come to Jesus moment where you take ownership of doing what it takes to get better as a team and individually.
