  • Check this floor:


  • I like this court :cheesy:

    I do too


    If you are watching that match, where Hiroshima just took a set from Denso :white: , see if the OP #5 does anything for you. She was a Uni killer and I'm hoping the true OP Denso has needed for so long (assuming they don't BCS her to the bench)

  • I do too

    I was able to watch only the last set, but I'll keep my eye on her on their next game. I only looked at the Denso game a bit to see my favorite Denso girl Yuki Hyodo and the MB who I was surprised got into the National Team :lol: I'm waiting for NEC.

  • I'm waiting for NEC.

    me too but I’m rooting for my home girls :box:


    the west squad is lame this year. West is like V2 compared to East V1

  • All the unnecessary haircuts :white:

  • I was skeptical at first, but I think Moeka Kinoe might turn out to be a player. She fully commits to the kill, and puts 'em down. No cuts on Nojima, tho

  • Confirmation of 大山遼 being Haruka Oyama. "Haruka" is on her shirt :rose:


    She's the reception line, back court attacking, two time serve award winning middle blocker OP from Tsukuba, in case ya'll forgot :cheesy:

  • it was close tho. An NEC 16–14 win in the Tie Break


    East Girls gotta go quickly freshen up and take on Gunma Bank immediately in a back to backer :box:

  • NEC wouldn't win that without Ayumi Yoshida. She did well since the first set, while Hina can't kill a ball. Messy game, but I'm happy it is still a win :lol:

    I'm all in for Yoshida. I think she was mostly injured last season, yes? And will probably be the BCS casualty this season

  • I'm all in for Yoshida. I think she was mostly injured last season, yes? And will probably be the BCS casualty this season

    I'm not sure if she was injured but she was not rostered at all in the final 14 per game, so I assume yes. She could've helped in some of their games last season, when both SWP and Hirose are not performing well. She can take the spot of Hirose as the first sub for SWP. I love watching Furuya's strong attacks but still inconsistent, and her floor defense is bad.

  • This really blows chunks trying to watch five matches at once :aww: for 8 hours


    wargirls the Uni girls are sporting baggy shirts with sleeves :white:


    I don't think Kurobe's new MBs played but Prestige whooped 'em


    Ranna Shiraiwa and Hinano Michishita sighting:




    Uni West has a few good players. One sticking out:

    #3 Southpaw Sharpshooter OP Airi Ishikura is really impressive


    I wish there was Live Score for all this :(


    Uni EAST Clobbered Gunma Bank :thumbup:

  • Ya'll, are there any streaming/replay links you know for the summer league. Pls let us know :call:

    They're on V.League TV. I don't think any streams make it out into the wild
