TXST (11-5/3-1) @ ULL (9-4/3-1)

6:00 start Friday, ESPN+ broadcast here: link, Livestats here: link
2:00 start Saturday, ESPN+ broadcast here: link, Livestats here: link

The most notable datapoint going into this match is the common opponents played this year: Bama and ACU in the TCU Tournament. While we played terrible and got swept by the Crimson Tide, ULL in turn swept them, and rather easily: 12-19-17. Where ACU took us to 5 after we were up 2-0, they got S1 from the Cajuns and then took a beating 12-13-21 in the next 3 sets. The Cajuns beat us at home last year as well, so there is no mystery about whether or not it can be done. Even their losses this year look decent - 5S L to 10-6 Michigan State, 4S L to 10-6 aTm, 4S L to 16-4 UTRGV.

7 of the 9 players in their main rotation are from TX. While #6 is their main hitter w/ 190pts vs 109 for #12, they have a lot of balance between their #2-#7 scorers at 89-109.

Not tall at all - but JMU wasn't either.... 6', 6', 5'11", 6'1", 5'8", 6', 5'10", 6', 5'8" (S)

Doesn't look like she played at all today. I think she has something nagging, because they gave her a match off vs ULM 2wks back too.

33-31 S3, TXST sweeps 3-0

Nice fight to come back and win that 3rd!
