Quote from volleyb

I like this court

I do too

If you are watching that match, where Hiroshima just took a set from Denso , 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)

Quote from volleyb

I'm waiting for NEC.

me too but I’m rooting for my home girls

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

All the unnecessary haircuts

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

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

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

Quote from volleyb

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

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

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

wargirls the Uni girls are sporting baggy shirts with sleeves

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

Quote from Zack Fair

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

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