Long Beach State Athletics!: Re: WVB sweeps North, ...but..

Nice to sweep and avenge the prior loss. I would have like to see a well oiled machine out there but still need to get more consistent in all areas.

Considering how Poly went through the conference in the first half not sure they see a credible threat. Okay, one game at a time and everyone is a threat.

Of course to win next weekend LBSU needs to serve, pass and block very well but I think it comes down to can the pins keep pass with the way Poly can kill the ball. Poly usually has a very low hitting error rate and hopefully the serve and block can have them uncomfortable and vunderable.

All three backcourt players need to be at the top of their game to make this a match. If Izzy, Anna, and Laurel play like they are one of the best back court around I think LBSU can make this a real match on the road. Plus, need more consistency from the setters.

lol, this team can dominate an opponent and leave one going away feeling incomplete

a good win since the last time vs. NOrthridge layed a major egg

still the amount of hitting errors and imprecise receptions a week before the Poly-SB trip leads to another week of 'need to shore up things' mode lol

got to give them credit, Izzy served differently straight down the live vs diagonal, block was solid, Mad Max terminal as was Pola

just hitting errors like worried about a North block that was not all that

Hamaker some great serves, her form and serving is promissing going in to Poly

while the 6-2 had definitely made for a more balanced attack, it is hard with a 6-2 for constantly adjusting to the different setters, but we are getting solid attackes

guess can't get caught up with a mentaility of trying to beat Poly by playing like Poly, gonna have to win by doing what they do well disrupt put up a big block, know that we have some disruptive servers and Poly does have a short setter who leaves Poly's block vulnerable when she's in the front row.

it'll be about getting touches and tooled less and making Poly uncomfortable enought to make the match stressful.

still in the hunt for a #1 seed and the SB match as well will be tough for getting at least the #2 seed.

good that they get exposed to the Poly gym close to the BWCT, and hoping for the BWCT the AD has enough sense and sends the band up there to even out the environment somewhat so it's not more of a one sided thing which more that it already will be.

should be an entertaining match, Poly knows Beach is their main threat so kind of a mental prep match on Friday. should be some high quality VB
