Coaching Decision. Harris struggled early vs. UC Riverside.

It's actually been a bit odd that after Mad Max's Bake game, she hadn't played other than serving sub.

Harris might present a more physical block, Mad Max i think has grown to be a more consistent terminator. actually thought Mad Max's serve is too focused on the sidelines, she was successful @ Bake just hard floats in teh middle, but maybe that was avoiding Ng last night.

On match point last night, Mad Max made a key play and a nails pass that was really tough as she stepped to the side and in to go after that serve, that gave Hayes a perfect ball for Glenn's kill. That was a big-time pressure confident play/decision, she wasn't gonna let the serve play the back-row.

It'll be interesting to see the coaching decisions next week, I expect the team will have to go 6-2 again as Meyer may still be out on protocol.

also, the Glenn decision to rotate her out of the back-row. It allowed a lefty on the opp all night long with Riley. Sacrficed Glenn's serve, but then last 3 or so weeks Glenn has struggled more with her serve, less pop and more misses. I like keeping Glenn's legs fresh though, Glenn is the biggest concern for wearing down.

also, Karach had one of her best matches. Not saying have to keep with the 6-2, however the sets to the pins were solid mostly.

and we did that last night with no dumps. don't need as many with 3 attackers, or even 4 with Karach in back-row. IMO, Meyer has fallen in love with a few too many ill advised attacks. Granted that keeps the defense off balance, and do like her to take some swings, but the night before she was not good hitting.

still, will see if the euphoria can carry over next week - they need to beat Irvine, it's also pretty much a must win game, win and the BWCT chances are high, lose and will be in big trouble still.
