And I think everyone at 75 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 3: that moment going to that FULMB session versus Omaha, even 76 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 3: though we'd played Omaha multiple times of multiple occasions, everybody 77 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 3: was just fixating on that screen and locked in, and 78 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 3: I think it was one of those moments of like, 79 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 3: we're already here, who might as well just finish the job? 80 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: You know. 81 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 3: So it was definitely just a cool environment to be 82 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 3: in and just kind of be when what my team 83 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 3: is being really focused and I knew I knew, I knew. 84 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 3: I was like, oh yeah, I said, oh you guys 85 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 3: want to play volleyball now, huh okay, I see it 86 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 3: like I see it, So yeah, it'salia. 87 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 4: What was your experience like, Well, I mean, first of all, 88 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 4: it's rare that I'm just a spectator, so I wasn't 89 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 4: calling the matches and I was on standby in case 90 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 4: it went three, which it did, and I was like, 91 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 4: we're gonna be here for five cents. I'm not even 92 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 4: gonna have to go on. And after the first set, 93 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 4: I was like, uh oh, but I mean it was 94 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 4: I was kind of nervous. I can't even describe it, 95 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 4: you know, just as an athlete and you get these 96 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 4: matches in these environments where you're like, what's gonna happen? 97 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 4: Like this is I was kind of sweatinged before the match, 98 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 4: and I was just excited to see what was gonna unfold. 99 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 4: I mean, I obviously thought I had some ideas, but 100 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 4: you know, given the season, given what we just saw 101 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 4: the night before, you absolutely never know. 102 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 5: So it was so fun. It was so I was so. 103 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 4: Jacked and so excited just to see what was gonna happen, 104 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 4: and it was gonna win it. 105 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 1: For your prediction of the finals, you said that Austin 106 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 1: had a little bit of an edge, and you pointed 107 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 1: out specifically Madison Skinner too was the reason why there 108 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: was that little bit of an edge, and she obviously 109 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: went off. She was MVP of the match, So let's 110 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 1: get into this game a little bit and tell me 111 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: what you guys saw from Madison on the court. 112 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 3: You know, I mean it was witness Madison every day 113 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 3: in practice working on her craft. Having Nicole Fausted also 114 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 3: in the gym is great. Nicole is one of the 115 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 3: best to ever do it, so people. To have her 116 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 3: in the gym and being coached by her definitely is 117 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 3: a tool that we were able to use and Madison 118 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 3: and one thing I was telling her just to grasp 119 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 3: that and whatever Nicole says, it's law, you know. So 120 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 3: being able to watch her grow and improve and build 121 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,359 Speaker 3: her confidence on this stage has been amazing and she 122 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 3: definitely showed that this weekend. 123 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I think from my perspective, not being 124 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 4: with the team, you're waiting for that just kind of 125 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 4: the shift you talked about Kat and in certain people 126 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 4: and in their demeanor and in their how to carry themselves. 127 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 5: You could just see it. 128 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 4: Even you know, in the semiis it was a different Madison. 129 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 4: And I not completely because she's a phenomenal player, right, 130 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 4: you know that she's going to play well, but throughout 131 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 4: the course of the season, watching her errors decrease, like 132 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 4: unforced there you know, or second guessing a swing, you know, 133 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 4: as a coach and some that's done it for a 134 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 4: long time, you can see that in a player when 135 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:02,919 Speaker 4: it's happening. 136 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 2: And man, it was just. 137 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 4: Like an aura around her that was like I am 138 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 4: this person now and you knew. 139 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 2: I mean that. 140 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 4: That was why I said it the night because it's 141 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 4: hard to repeat those kind of nights. 142 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 5: But you could see it. 143 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 2: It wasn't gonna stop, it wasn't gonna end. 144 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 4: You could feel like if if she had five more 145 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 4: sets to play, she'd had fifty kills, not the twenty five, 146 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 4: and that for you know what I mean. 147 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 2: So that was that was part of it. 148 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 4: But it was also I you know, I also talked 149 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 4: about the energy of the team. You could you could 150 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 4: feel it was palpable right, and over the course of 151 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 4: probably the last month, you could see that it was there, right. 152 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 4: And then they lost three five setters before even getting 153 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 4: to you know, to the championships, and it was right 154 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 4: there for the taking. So I don't know, I just 155 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 4: saw this trajectory and I was like, I don't think 156 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 4: they're gonna slow down. 157 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 5: And we took off. We took off. Baby. 158 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: I feel like you got the good vibes from Madison too, 159 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: because this was her fourth championship in five years. Like 160 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 1: she's just bringing the titles. It really helps. 161 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 2: It absolutely helps Selima. 162 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 1: Now as a coach, you are able to see, you know, 163 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: a lot of different things that the fans can't see 164 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: from their couch. So can you give me some of 165 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: the big takeaways that you took from this match? 166 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean one of the biggest things was the 167 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 4: passing on the side of Austin. That was another thing 168 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 4: that had been kind of their achilles, right. They had 169 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 4: moments where they could do it, but like overall and 170 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 4: Logan Eggleston like was just unreal. I mean at the 171 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 4: first set she was like sixty seven percent perfect pass. 172 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 4: I was keeping track of everything, so I had it 173 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 4: in my head and it was nuts and I was like, okay, 174 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 4: so right now Austin is out passing omaha. So the 175 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 4: third pass game was completely flipped on its head. So 176 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 4: that for me was like, uh oh, they can't have 177 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 4: the firepower that they have and pass the ball well, 178 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 4: get the middles involved, Like that's going to be trouble. 179 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 4: So so that was one thing that I saw, you know, 180 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 4: just overall that that was something that Austin brought that. 181 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 4: It was just clean every phase of the game. And it's, 182 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 4: like you said, Kat, like the lock in of the film. 183 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 5: I could see it. 184 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 4: I was like, they are so fully dialed into the scout. 185 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 4: It was like, Yep, this is where it's going. Yep, 186 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 4: this is what happened. We're serving here, We're gonna send 187 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 4: you blocks here. Like it is a pretty thing to 188 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 4: watch actually from a coaching stampoint. 189 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 3: My favorite part is when Chris asked, He's like any 190 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 3: questions and the room's like silent. 191 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 5: He's like, oh, okay, we all know. Yeah, that means 192 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 5: we got it. 193 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,439 Speaker 1: I was amazed to see how you guys were. I mean, like, 194 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,319 Speaker 1: Justine is gonna Justine and she was still amazing, but 195 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,680 Speaker 1: I feel like she wasn't Justine that we saw the 196 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: past two nights. I feel like you guys somehow managed 197 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: to get past her or to have her pass off 198 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: the net a lot. And I was just like they 199 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: got this, like they came with that fire. 200 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 3: We talked about a lot about that, you know, because 201 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 3: like you know, Justine is their their armor when it 202 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,079 Speaker 3: comes to passing wells good, you know, so we're talking 203 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 3: about just saying, okay, we don't wwn a circle Lebero. 204 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 3: Obviously it's who she is. But when you can jump 205 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 3: one in there just to catch her off guard, and 206 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 3: that's what was happening. So we would maybe every four 207 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 3: to five thirds launched one at her and then she 208 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 3: wasn't expecting it. 209 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 5: We'll we get in my house in a little bit, 210 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 5: so we definitely have that's part of the game. 211 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 1: Serving pancakes will be right back. Okay, Austin basically kind 212 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: of took over this match, right. I don't even think 213 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,679 Speaker 1: Omaha led until the third set when they got that 214 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 1: first point. Like that's how dominant you guys were. So 215 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 1: in those first two sets when Omaha was calling those timeouts, 216 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: what was kind of being said. 217 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 5: I mean, just being patient, stayed in the course. 218 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 3: That's actually funny that you said that, because also in 219 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 3: the third set, when they got that first point, it 220 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 3: shook me a little bit, soil I was like, oh, wait, 221 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 3: every set before this one, we've always got the first, 222 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 3: you know, first one or two points first, so you know, 223 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 3: just it was okay, and you know they're they're trying 224 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 3: to figure some stuff out, but let's just keep doing 225 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,559 Speaker 3: what we're doing stay focused. The biggest thing was just 226 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 3: staying focused. I think that during the third set, you know, 227 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 3: kind of towards the middle, we kind of broke down 228 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 3: a little bit of passing and miscommunication almost like we were 229 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 3: forgetting what we were doing, and we had to kind 230 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 3: of come back together and say, Okay, you know what, 231 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 3: let's be focus, regroup here, remember what we're doing, what 232 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 3: our jobs are, and then go back out there do it. 233 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 5: So just trying to be paid. I just don't just 234 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 5: be patient, be patient, be patient, Selima. 235 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 1: If you were a coach Susy France on Omaha, how 236 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 1: would you have handled those timeouts? 237 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 4: Well, you know, it's hard when someone's bringing their A 238 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 4: game at you, right, you just have to you have 239 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 4: to weather the storm a little bit. Right, You're like, okay, 240 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 4: they're playing their best volleyball, and quite frankly, it's hard 241 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 4: to sustain that level of play. Set to set to set, 242 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 4: you know, and it's like, all right, hey, we're going 243 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,319 Speaker 4: to settle in here. It was really their passing. They 244 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 4: got so pindominant, it was so heavy. When they caught 245 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 4: up is when they were able to get sad with 246 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 4: the ball a little bit in the middle, when those 247 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,319 Speaker 4: moments you were talking about Kat where things broke down 248 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 4: on your side of hair. 249 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 5: But that's what they needed to do. 250 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 4: And so, you know, my conversation is, Hey, we're just 251 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 4: gonna have to be patient. 252 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 2: Madison's gonna get her bomb kills. 253 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,079 Speaker 4: That's okay, you know, but we gotta be smart with 254 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 4: what we're doing around their block. That's that's the problem too. 255 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,199 Speaker 4: There were so many things that they were doing well. 256 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 4: Number one blocking team. You're know they're gonna block well, 257 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 4: but we've got a chip, we've got a tool. We 258 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 4: gotta make some stuff happen. And shoot, they were trying, 259 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 4: but Austome was just smothering, you know, surrounding. 260 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 2: I mean, it was it sixteen blocks. I don't even remember. 261 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 2: I think it was sixteen. I just kept going, oh 262 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 2: my gosh, no, no, we're in set two. It's nine 263 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:36,959 Speaker 2: ten eleven. Wow. 264 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,719 Speaker 4: So that's what I would say, Hey, let's be a 265 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 4: little more patient with our swings. Let's just high and flat. 266 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,199 Speaker 4: And I'm sure she's having those conversations. Sometimes it's hard 267 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 4: to do when you're way off the next your way 268 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 4: out of system. 269 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 5: It's just hard. 270 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. As a former volleyball player and as 271 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 1: a coach when you were on the sideline watching, like 272 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 1: did you just want to get down there, whether it 273 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 1: was like the player like to be on the sideline, 274 00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: I like, talk to them. 275 00:11:58,640 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 5: You've no idea. 276 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 2: I always want to get down I want to be 277 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 2: on the court, you know what. 278 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 4: Ian like not coaching that because no, I just want 279 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 4: to try to help, but they have to pass perfectly 280 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 4: for me to actually help and be able to set something. 281 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:11,959 Speaker 2: Can'tfully run that fast. 282 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,439 Speaker 5: But like I'm always. 283 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 4: Like, ah, like I'm a crazy person watching vollegules.

I feel like that was one of the 511 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,159 Speaker 1: things that I absolutely loved about watching this league was, 512 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: as you said, the defense, because to me, I love 513 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,400 Speaker 1: a long rally. I love a long rally and as 514 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: like a liberro, to me, I'm just like all about 515 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 1: the defense. So the longer you can keep the ball 516 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: in the air, I'm. 517 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:15,159 Speaker 5: Like, let's go. 518 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 2: It was it was amazing and just yeah, it's cool. 519 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 1: Going back to the match real quick, I'm curious because 520 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 1: you know, we mentioned Logan, we mentioned obviously Madison Skinner, 521 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: but tell me who from this match did you kind 522 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,159 Speaker 1: of think was an unsung hero, someone who like deserves 523 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 1: a little bit of recognition, whose name hasn't really come 524 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 1: out that much. 525 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,400 Speaker 5: I'm going to say my voter is for Carli Lloyd. 526 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 3: Carly has been a soldier to this entire season, and 527 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,439 Speaker 3: you know, we haven't seen a lot of her starting 528 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 3: a lot this season, but TiO to start that match 529 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 3: in the finals was very well. 530 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 5: Deserved and it was a given. 531 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 3: You know, she ran a great offense coming in for 532 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 3: Stage versus Atlanta, and it only made it to start 533 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 3: her with the finals, and she was fantastic. 534 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 5: So I would definitely say Carli Lloyd. 535 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 2: I would agree. I mean, I've seen her for a 536 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 2: millillion years. 537 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,919 Speaker 4: Honestly, that might be one of the best matches, the 538 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 4: cleanest matches I've seen her play. I don't know, I 539 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:10,640 Speaker 4: might be crazy, but like every ball was located exactly 540 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 4: where it needed to be, how she was blocking, how 541 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:13,400 Speaker 4: she was. 542 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,880 Speaker 2: Leading, It was so good. It was so good. 543 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 3: So I agree with you, Kat yeah, played out of 544 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 3: her mind. She, like Carly, has one of those very 545 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,919 Speaker 3: like intense personalities. And to see her last night, it 546 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:24,679 Speaker 3: was almost like she was calm and she was in 547 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,400 Speaker 3: her rhythm. It was almost like she was in her skin, 548 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 3: you know. And that was one thing I was talking 549 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 3: to her about after Atlanta matched. I was like, dude, 550 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 3: you've always had to send it in you you know 551 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,919 Speaker 3: what I'm saying, like, keep driving off of that like 552 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:36,879 Speaker 3: you got you don't have to overthink anything like this 553 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 3: is who you are, you know, and being able to 554 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 3: winness her out there and play the way she did, 555 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 3: and we always we've been talking about this rally since 556 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,120 Speaker 3: yesterday about you know, it was kind of a long 557 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 3: rally and then she just took advantage of the point 558 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 3: herself and dumped the ball and was like come on, 559 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 3: you know, like we'll stop messing around, stop playing with 560 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 3: our food, you know, let's put it away.
