After a couple awkward opening sets Okayama claims victory in a tight tie breaker
When their defense is oiled up there's nothing like it. A thing of beauty

Tugba is playing for Kurobe. I officially dislike it when imports play in this Tournament but I'll give Tugba an exception against Saitama ... as long as she doesn't play against Fukuoka
skorost , if you are around with nothing to do ... Tokai v Toray

Emily is MB #14 in white with the short hair
edit. Hope you missed it. The worst set Tokai has played
Ayano Sato sighting. No knee pads
it is a wave (blue) and an orange.
Aran comes from Italian for orange (Arancia) and mare for the sea. Merge the two words together.

It's the eyeball that kicks it into high gear
Match of the night @ 13:00 jst
Fukuoka v Kurobe

(D Court, the closer one)
Winner moves on to QFs, loser goes home. They're in the Toyota (who withdrew) Group so they all play one less match

....and I've to do something else now
but I'll try to catch a bit before I leave
...the other team look like they're just kids, yet they're leading 1:0
was that Kanada being shut out by a monster block
Okayama already qualified to move on so it doesn't matter but ... they are getting beat by Kinrankai
...the other team look like they're just kids, yet they're leading 1:0
High School team. A good HS team, but still
ps - and they aren't even playing all their best players
Tie Break
Okayama fight back....and I'll be back in 30-40 mins to watch the 5th set ?

They play 3 set matches in this qualifying round, but if you get back by 13:00 jst , that's what's important -- the Kurobe v Fukuoka match
Kurobe being run over...
i think I'm in love with F.U. no.14....she's so cheerful and lively, with a big swing as well. Btw who won the earlier match ?

Okayama stomped them in the Tie Break
Yes #14 is adorable, and just starting her 2nd year. Fukuoka got bronze in the last All Japan Uni (December 2022 (faves list)) with mostly all juniors and below so they are still intact for this year
#4 is another cheerful cutie
#8 the OP is a weird banger. They all have pretty good serves, and are strangely pretty good blockers for short people
#2 Miyu Kawazoe (faves list). Her High RBI thing is unmatched
It's impossible to not love this Fukuoka team
