well, match two was epic (you can skip set 1 lol)
Just finished watching, but Kentucky didn't play at their best unfortunately. Reception wasn't good and O'Brien didn't play clean. Good they played at their usual level in the fifth set! Especially Hudson, she should win the player of the year award!
For Wisconsin Booth and Colyer were great! Hope to see them play professional and getting a chance in the USA gym!

WHAT A MATCH!!!

-
Reilly can't handle the pressure, just like last year national semi-final against Penn State...
-
What a choke by Nebraska!
I think it's clear Mauch should be the starting libero... -
Kentucky is really good at developing good setters! First Lilley and Grome, now O'Brien!
-
Roberta outplaying Naz. I don't understand why Bongaerts doesn't get a chance! Also Wang doesn't make a difference, so Aycin should play. In this way Lukasic could play instead of Aydin, but Sylla doesn't make a big impact either...
-
Grobelna is really bad

-
Texas VS Kentucky
-
Schwerin really not working well so far... Their outside hitters underperform big time! Bad reception, but also no power in attack. I don't understand why Kok doesn't get more chances... Also setters are not precise in their setting.
-
Lavinska is deadline in attack!

-
Today Reesink looks like a world class libero with Nestler on the other side who is totally off

Well I just started watching and Reesink already got aced 3 times...

-
Is Dagmar Mourits injured?
-
Wiesbaden takes set 1. Konijnenberg is playing decent for her first match abroad! I think she made a good move going to Wiesbaden and will develop in a good way
Boom also suprised me! Stable reception and smart attacking. -
Agreed! Their block is also really strong!
On the other hand Firenze is looking dreadful so far, even worse than Cuneo.
Yeah they don't seem good... Setters are awful, they can't set a hittable ball! Reception doesn't help them though... Also Bukelic is soooo slow

-
Good to see Knollema back on the volleyball court! But she shouldn't do a jump serve
Chieri seems to work well so far! -
Miku Akimoto was voted MVP of the Supercup.
I haven't watched the match yet, but I thought Schwerin was going to win
Looks like Felix still has to figure out how to use his roster. Dresden's roster is much more limited, especially with Lorber Fijok being injured, but looks like they made the best of it today.I think Kohn wasn't as good as last season, but that was to be expected after her bad performance in NT this summer. Jaksetic deserved more chances IMO, but when she came on court during the double sub, she didn't make the best impression either... Hope she will be get back to her old shape before her injuries! Reception wasn't good en Reesink was the biggest problem. She isn't able to cover her hitters. They should have hired a better back-up for her... Middle blockers did fine, Stuut should be used as much as possible in attack! Hölzig wasn't good at the desisive moments in attack, so Kok should be an option in this moments. Both Artyshuk and Kirchhoff seemed to have a weird aproach when they attacked the ball. They should find their connection with the setters.
Levinska and Akimoto were really good. Only Kuipers was bad for Dresdner but at the end she scored the 24-22 in 4th set with a very good spike and they can replace her with Lorber Fijok when she will be ready.
I wouldn't say Kuipers was bad. She did more than her job in reception! Whole team of Dresdner fought for every ball and that made a big difference!
-
Lavinska could easily play in a better league!
-
Reesink already showing she is the weak link for Schwerin

-
Happy to see ten Brinke as starter! I hoped to see one of Kok or Vos as starting outside hitter, but maybe they take their chance later!
