NCAA Rd 2 - Washington
How tall is Washington? They use a 6’2” Libero. Yup....you read that right. And there DS is 5’11”. Everyone else is 6’+
They are OLD. They are tall. They are talented, placing 6 players on their AVCA Regional Team (5 Regional AA, 1 Regional HM). UD had 2 - Bridget and JPete.
Here are their Regional Team Players:
Jr Setter 6’0” Ella May Powell - POY
Sr OH 6’4” Samantha Drechsel
Sr MB 6’4” Lauren Sanders
Jr MB 6’4” Marin Grote
Jr OH 6’2” Claire Hoffman
Fr OH 6’2” Madi Endsley - ROY - HM Regional team
The other two players in their rotation:
Jr L/OH 6’2” Shannon Crenshaw
Jr DS 5’11” Emma Calle
Both coaches were Regional COY

Looking at other 1st Rd results, I didnt see any glaring upsets. Morehead beat Creighton but Morehead was like 17-1. Weber beat BGSU 3-1 in a battle of 1-loss teams. And Rice had to forfeit vs NC A&T due to a Covid violation. Rice was a darkhorse S16 team because I think they beat Texas earlier in the year. Now Penn State gets NC A&T which should be a scrimmage.
Edit: oops just saw Beckys post on this.

Horsman quote after yesterdaay's match about Washington:
"(Winning) is probably more about how we play,” he said.
“I think we play, tempo-wise, a lot faster than they do, but they have some big, physical athletes that are I think are going to present issues for us in the front row blocking and their physicality. But we’ve also built a team that I think can play with teams like that because we also have some big, physical players that can play at that level as well. So we’re gonna have to play well, but I would probably say the same thing to Washington.
They’re gonna have to play well.”

With Dayton's convincing win over Towson, Dayton climbs 7 spots in the Massey ratings to 28th. Towson, and their small sample size of only 7 matches, falls 12 spots to 33rd. Dayton has only played two non-con matches, but one was against Wrights State. That was also part of the reason Dayton moved up. Wright State's win against Samford moved the Raiders up 5 spots to 25th.
Dayton plays Massey #4 Washington in less than 7 hours.

Washington's conference mate Oregon is off to a good start against Notre Dame. Oregon wins their first set 25-17.
San Diego is the only un-seeded team who won their first set. San Diego leads Louisville 1-0. Ohio State leading Missouri, Baylor leading Pepperdine.

Everyone always thinks Penn State gets a cupcake first weekend. They do many years because of geography. There are so many small mid majors that have to travel close and so they get sent to PSU. A lot of people this year thought PSU should not have been seeded, let alone #13. And now this....they probably could have sent a freshman team and saved the trip for everyone else. I’m guessing PSU’s practices are tougher than this match will be. Many thought Rice could knock them out.

Penn State's seed was not fair. They have gotten very lucky. I'm no bracketologist, but without too many non-con matches, the assumption the BIG10 was better than other conferences was unwarranted. Entering the tournament Penn State has as many wins against other tournament teams as Dayton. Penn State beat Purdue, once, at home. Dayton beat Wright State, at WSU. UCLA, had FOUR wins against teams that made the tournament. A resume, even during a pandemic, is not built on one win. Penn State should have had to play in the 1st round, then meet a team that actually earned a top seed.

I noticed one small change in the rotation yesterday. I think JPete has been starting on the Rightside when we take the first serve, then she would go back to be our first server. Yesterday in the first set it was Amelia as our first server. Same order and positions, just different starting zones. Coaches do that for matchups. Will watch for it again today.
Gotta cause havoc with our serving early and often. Go Flyers!

They are going after a JPete in serve receive and getting at a pretty good pace. But we are hanging with them. 7-7. Two of our kills just missed the back line. Otherwise we would be leading.

WA on 4-0 run. Good TO by Horsmon. 13-9 Washington. Get a good pass and a sideout to stop this run.

We are out hitting WA, but down 22-16. That means we are giving them the points via errors. So we need to clean up our side of the net. WA had two blocks in a row. We just got our first block too.

We hit .231 vs. holding them to .147 - which is excellent defense. It’s our errors giving them points that’s hurting us. They took more swings, but both teams had 11 kills.

Horsmon challenging an out call. If it holds its 7-5 WA and we have given them 5 points of those 7 on errors. Hope it’s over turned.

We’ve been feeding JPete and she’s keeping in this, but it’s a kill by Swink to go up 13-12 and now up 14-12 on JPete kill.

20-20 on a Swink kill. Only 1 error by either team since the media TO - hitting error by WA. We can play with these guys. TO WA. JPete back to serve when we get back. Make a run. Close this out. Good time for JPete’s first ace.

I love Coach Horsmon's relaxed sitting on chair leaning back with one leg over the other leg despite a close set. How is that man so calm? I'm nervous.

UD up 22-21 but big mess on rotation for Dayton. Looking at replay. I’m not sure what the issue is. Horsmon seemed to be ok with his team. I’m not sure it’s legal to use replay this way???

Endsley on the left pin is heating up. We need to get our Rightside block working. It appears the middles are leaving a gap. Might have to cheat half a step to stuff her a couple times, but they are also strong on the left.
Overall after early errors we actually out played them a couple points, because we limited our errors to I think only 1-2 after that 15-13 media TO.
Long road, but we need to take it up one more notch. We can do that we haven’t played that great. States with better passing out of serve receive. Then we have to take our serving aggression up another notch to cause havoc for their serve receive. We will only be focused on the 3rd set. Just jump on them and bring it.
One heck of a set in the 2nd. Very close. We can win the 3rd.

Media TO. wA up 15-13. They are beating us in the serve-serve receive game right now. Neither team making too many other errors. At this level, that’s what usually matters most. Both these teams have players that can terminate balls if the setter gets a decent pass. Bridget having to cover too much of the court right now to get to the 2nd touch.
Just stay with it ladies.

Over turned. UD win the 3rd 26-24.
And the stat people record it as an attack error by Alli Papesh. That’s just terrible. She wasn’t on the court and she plays for the other team. The stat people were wrong several times yesterday too.
Going to 4th. Bring it girls. We have to get our serve going and eliminate the errors.

We need to feed Jamie for sure, but it’s time to get Alayna a Yates going. She has one kill. Her sets have not been great, so some swings but nothing Of quality.

Way to hang in. Pretty bad that the play happens inches in front of the guy and he makes a call like that. In the 4th set PLEASE put the serves in play! Can't afford these errors going forward.

wA picking on Lexie. They go down the line over her and then get up a block on her. But it’s a war.

Stat people just recorded an attack error for one of the WA players. It was Lexie long.

JPete brings the heat at exactly the right time with that ace at 23-21. Flyers have all the momentum. Let's shock the world!

We are winning the block big time. 10 to 4. They have won the serve/serve receive game big time. But that ace by JPete was huge. And we are out hitting them .276 to .213.
We are in this. Jump on them early. They have first serve. This is a track meet. First to 5. First to 10. First to 15.

Set Yates in the middle. How many times do they have to block the left side before we realize we are too predictable?

Horsmon challenging that block. I think he thought WA interfered by touching the ball over on our side. 6-3 WA right now. Actually challenging WA in the net. This would be big.
We win challenge. 4-5. wA touched the ball and ref called 4 hits, but it wasn’t. Play over.

What can you say. We did not serve well and yet we out played them in the other areas of the game. And we return everyone except Bridget if she decides to not return. We might get votes in the final poll. This is the PAC Champion after all. We will certainly start next year getting votes. Lots of great volleyball ahead.

They did all the work. Just couldn't serve cleanly. What a shame. Plus Louisville showed earlier today that they are extremely beatable. An Elite Eight spot was more than doable. But an incredible comeback attempt. The will never wavered. Congrats on a great season, Flyers!

And there are now almost everyone on next years team with NCAA experience of the highest caliber - 5 sets against a team that could win it all. I’ll certainly be pulling for Washington to go all the way.
Also, I forgot, I don’t think Swink will be back next year. I would guess she provided great experience and guidance to our young team. Thank you and best wishes.

Congrats on a great match, and a great season - good luck to those graduating!
You have to wonder how this match would have played out if Washington had played yesterday, too . . .

Just watched the replay on demand as I was at Baujan and running around. We really could have won set 2. Set three video replay was huge for the set win on set point. Gutted out set 4. But just didnt have that feeling in the fifth -- when the rubber meets the road raw God given talent tends to find a way to milk a W. We've seen it time and again with UD in the A10 when our backs are up against it over the years....we just find a way to pull matches out of our rump. Washington can do that too but at a higher performance level. Our hitting was negative in set 5 yet it was 10-10.
Overall the difference was UD just gave away too many free points. A lot from serving. But a couple in the run of play too in each set. Against VCU or Duquesne it doesnt matter because you can always go on a 6-1 run to make up for it. But that aint ever gonna happen against the #6 team. A run in these heavy-hitting matches is three straight points. The margin for error is just so much thinner. Unfortunately we've seen this story too many times when getting so close to the Sweet-16 but a point here or there kept us out (and I think a bad call vs Kentucky??).
Still, loved the fight. Most teams would have packed it in. We actually won more points and hit a better percentage. Washington could make the Final Four. You don't push them to the limit unless you have talent and a high ceiling. Again we just came up short on all those small details that flip Ws into Ls.
If we can convince JPete to give it one more go, I think we've got a chance to be special next year. Replacing BDoh will be a tall order but today showed we can compete at an extremely high level with an elite top-ranked volleyball program. They had hitters.....but we had hitters too. They had size...but we had size too. We outblocked them. As Horsmon said before the match "Washington will have to play well to beat us too." And they had to.
Lexie didnt hit great but she had a double-double and did not look overmatched on the court at all. She had a couple throwdowns. She will be A10 POY before its over.
Its safe to say we were pretty good this year. We could be a lot better in the fall. Like preseason Top-25.

Yup. I guarantee the voting coaches from the PAC12 took note we’re going to be very good next year. Louisville knows. Mary Wise at a Florida knows. Michigan knows. Purdue knows. Missouri knows. Stanford knows. All the regional teams like ILL St, X, Ohio, Wright St, etc. They all know. Coaches know because they recruited our players too, and lost out to signing them.
