1
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: Hi, I'm Tiffany Oshinski and I'm Cappo, and this is

Speaker 1: the matches from the week to keep you up to

5
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: date on everything League one Volleyball. Then stick around after

6
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: the analysis for interviews with some amazing people in and

7
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 1: around the sport. For today's episode, we're just going to

8
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: break down week eight and look ahead to week nine.

9
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: So how you doing today, Kat?

10
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 2: Doing good? Long travel day?

11
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 3: You know, we were Madison this past weekend and got

12
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 3: back around nine amt backandalla, so.

13
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 2: Travel light day was kind of long, but feeling good,

14
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 2: feeling really good.

15
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: All right, well you ready get into it.

16
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 2: Let's get into it.

17
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 1: Let's do it all right, Let's start with Love Houston's

18
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: homecoming that was spoiled thanks to a sweep by Love

19
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: salt Lake twenty five seventeen twenty five one twenty five

20
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: twenty one. Houston had been on the road for six weeks,

21
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: so I'm pretty sure this is probably not how they

22
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: wanted to come out on the court. Now they were

23
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 1: without their opposites, Jordan Thompson, who has been absolutely on

24
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: fire lately and Grace Frowling as well as middle Raphael

25
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: fully Now, missing key players like that can throw a

26
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: game play off. But you know, everyone's practicing together, they're

27
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 1: in the same gym, they have the same coach. So

28
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: what was Houston unable to do Thursday night that they

29
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: have been able to do previously.

30
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 3: I think, like like all games, salt Lake and other

31
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 3: teams are just starting to mesh well right now. You know,

32
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 3: we're coming towards end of the season and towards that

33
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 3: big major tournament. So I think Houston without JT she's

34
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 3: a strong part that's missing, but they have so many

35
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 3: different competitors on their team they can absolutely withstand that storm.

36
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: But Salt Lake just came out on fire that night.

37
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, and one of the things that they did really

38
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 1: well was block, and they out blocked Houston twelve to four,

39
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: middle Tory Dixon leading the team with five. So talk

40
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: to me for a second about some technical stuff. How

41
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: are you reading the setters and hitters to make sure

42
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: that you're in proper position to block and get those blocks?

43
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 3: Well, that depends on like who you're reading, like Lauren

44
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,559
Speaker 3: Carly and he's hard to read michah Hancofs was also

45
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 3: kind of card to read reading just kind of happens

46
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 3: amongst the floor where the ball is. Talk about zones,

47
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 3: you know, as an opposite hitter, if the middle is

48
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 3: anywhere between you know, a push one and the three

49
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 3: or the gap we like to call it, that's kind

50
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 3: of my zone and enough to take care of either

51
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 3: her or the outside hitter in front of me. But

52
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 3: once that middle's out of my zone, my only focuses

53
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 3: my player in front of me, and that's that. I

54
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 3: think it kind of goes on both pins, depending on

55
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 3: what's happening. But even right right now, as you can

56
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 3: tell last like last night, Mattison was running a few

57
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 3: inside rip balls on us, so you can quickly lose

58
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 3: track of that pin hitter when that middle will still

59
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 3: ality up your zone.

60
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 2: So keeping your head on the swivel for sure, all.

61
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: Right, talk to me about outside Ronnie Jones Perry. She

62
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: earned Player of the Match honors thanks for her twelve kills,

63
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: eight digs, one block and an ace. We've heard her

64
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: name throughout the season, So what did she do in

65
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: this match to help salt Lake with the suite?

66
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 2: Hey?

67
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 3: Being Ronnie all these games coming up. We've been on

68
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 3: freaking fire, you know. So being consistent and being that

69
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 3: go to player for her team has been a strong

70
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 3: advantage for Salt Lake and then just combining with her

71
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 3: like Ronnie has been a force we reckon.

72
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: With for sure, and she's got amazing arms.

73
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 2: Yeah shot, what about.

74
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 3: Yeah?

75
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 2: Like that?

76
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,959
Speaker 1: Let's move on to Omaha Madison. It was six weeks

77
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: since Houston played at home and Friday marked six weeks

78
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: since Loved Madison last one to match, but that all

79
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: changed after they beat Omaha in four sets eighteen twenty five,

80
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,119
Speaker 1: twenty five, twenty two, twenty five, sixteen, twenty five, twenty one,

81
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: and the win was led by a two time Olympic

82
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 1: medalist opposite Annie Drew Schumacher. She had twenty three kills,

83
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: three aces, two blocks, six digs, easily her best match

84
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: all season so far. Where has this South Pap been?

85
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 3: You know?

86
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 2: Man?

87
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 3: No, Annie was saying she's having some shoulder issues, but

88
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 3: whatever she's doing, it's working, Like she came out swinging

89
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 3: two nights ago, so you know. Also, I think Madison's

90
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 3: finding a great balance within the team. Jennifer Genetski, She's

91
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 3: doing a great job for them. Just being consistent as

92
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 3: well as.

93
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 2: Well as another setter, Lauren Carlyne.

94
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 3: You have Lauren carly you can pretty much do anything,

95
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 3: but haven't any as additioned to that is definitely a

96
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 3: game changer.

97
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: Now, this match saw some ridiculous rallies. You know, I

98
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: actually was looking. I was like, I wish love had

99
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,119
Speaker 1: stats for the length of rallies because I would love

100
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: to see where the best ones and the longest ones are.

101
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: But you know, I mean, this is what makes volleyball

102
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: so much fun.

103
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 2: Right.

104
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: I know what it's like to play in long rallies,

105
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: but the level of play that I'm doing is much

106
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: lower than the professional level that you ladies are playing.

107
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: So talk to me about what it's like during and

108
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 1: after those rallies.

109
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 3: You know, a rally can go for a short period

110
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 3: of time hardcore volleyball, or a long period of time

111
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 3: even more hard volleyball.

112
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 2: It's just a marathon you really can't prepare for.

113
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 3: You don't know how long it's going to be for

114
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 3: you just know those few births of moments of space

115
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 3: and time it as hard as you can and just

116
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 3: hope to win that point.

117
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,119
Speaker 2: So being in those rallies are very very tough for sure,

118
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: very tough.

119
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then there was that one rally in this

120
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: match with Lexi Rodriguez getting four digs in the whole

121
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: thing and Omaha ending up getting the point. It was

122
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: just absolutely insane. Lexi is so fun to watch.

123
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, everywhere I saw her middle back, scoop and ball,

124
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 3: She's like again, talk about reading, reading the block, getting

125
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 3: seen behind the block, and being a very very good

126
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 3: addition to them as well last night the other night.

127
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: Man all right, I also want to give a shout

128
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: out to Cedar Lauren Carlini, who turned thirty that same

129
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 1: day that they got there. Let's go. She had fifty assists,

130
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,119
Speaker 1: two blocks, twelve digs. So you know, do you think

131
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: that the birthday kind of helped fire them up a

132
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: little bit?

133
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 3: Absolutely? Your special day is just for you. You know,

134
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 3: you wake up with a different kind of swagger on

135
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 3: your chest. Even for myself. You know what I wake

136
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 3: on my birthday, I just feel great. So if it's

137
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 3: a game day, I'm know I'm trying to get you one.

138
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 3: If it's an early birthday present I can give myself,

139
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go out there and do that.

140
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 2: So that birthday day was definitely helping her out for sure.

141
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 1: All Right, moving to Saturday's doubleheader, We'll start with love

142
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: Atlanta's five set reverse sweep over Omaha twenty one, twenty five,

143
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: twenty five, twenty seven, twenty five, nineteen, twenty five, twenty three,

144
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: fifteen twelve. Great turnaround for Atlanta to come back and

145
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: show why they're at the top of the standings right now.

146
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: What did they do to turn it around after that

147
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: second set?

148
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 3: I think just using their bench. You know, Jessica Rivere

149
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 3: came in and did some good things for them. Gia

150
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 3: came into some good things for them. Atlanta's going to

151
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 3: be Atlanta like always. I think they really good job

152
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 3: as far as like flustering Omaha. You know, there were

153
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 3: some broken plays between Jordan and the bro kind of

154
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 3: just being going into a little bit miscommunication plays. I

155
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 3: feel like even in Ata system, they felt like they

156
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 3: were in system. They were getting a lot of googballs,

157
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 3: touches off the block and keep an offense going.

158
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 2: So it was a really fun game to watch and

159
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 2: to see them come back and win.

160
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: Well, let's talk about Gia Day for a second. She

161
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 1: came in off the bench after those first two sets,

162
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: really helped Atlanta. She actually led the team with fifteen

163
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: kills after she got in. What does Gia bring to

164
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: the court.

165
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 2: I am a Gada fan like Jia is. I'm a

166
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 2: Korean beat both getting Korea. She's a Kareem vet.

167
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 3: And it's a certain type of grit you have to

168
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 3: have to be able to come off the bench and

169
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 3: do what you're supposed to do, create longevity and points

170
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 3: and be able to out there and make a difference.

171
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 3: So being in Korea, you get a lot of practice

172
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 3: of doing that, and I'm so happy to see her

173
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 3: bring that part of her game into love actually love it.

174
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: Magda Helloava made a name for herself in this match.

175
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: Nine blocks for the middle from Checchia, more than double

176
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: actually what she's accumulated all season so far. She also

177
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: had a season high twelve kills while hitting for seventy four.

178
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: Talk to me about Magda and what she did in

179
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: this match.

180
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, Mac does not getting the get the

181
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 2: love she should be getting.

182
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 3: You know, you hear a lot about the office of

183
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 3: the middle blockers some around the league, and Mac doesn't

184
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 3: have the name you hear most often. But she's definitely

185
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 3: a player to be on the lookout for. She's been

186
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 3: playing a lot of good games coming up. She's got

187
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 3: a lot of good stretching amongst the games that have

188
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 3: been in her pocket so far. And yeah, coming up

189
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 3: with twelve blocks and being a big part of the

190
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 3: defense's that's huge.

191
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 2: So shout out to her for sure.

192
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: And the last match of the weekend Love Madison must

193
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: have been riding high after their win on Friday because

194
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: they swept your team, Love Austin every week every week

195
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: twenty five, twenty two, twenty five, twenty one, twenty five, seventeen.

196
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: So what was Madison doing right in that match?

197
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 3: Everything, you know, being on the receiving end of that.

198
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 3: But whoop in let's just look at the look at

199
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 3: what's in front of us. You have Andie Drews is

200
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 3: going off, you have Stevie who's going off in the middle,

201
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 3: you have Jennifer going off, is going on the outside,

202
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 3: And like you.

203
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,319
Speaker 2: Know, as a blocker, and I was a defensive team, you.

204
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 3: Want to be able to slow down someone, and being

205
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 3: able to slow down Andy Drews is very very difficult,

206
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 3: almost near impossible, you know. So you have to take

207
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 3: your losses where they are and have to you know,

208
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 3: focus more on people. You can kind of slow down,

209
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 3: and I don't think we did a good job trying

210
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 3: to touch a lot of balls and slow down, you know,

211
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 3: other positions. So with that off balance, you get a

212
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 3: lot of success attacking watched from the other team, and

213
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 3: that's definitely got us in the long run for sure.

214
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: What are you guys looking to do to improve into

215
00:08:59,000 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: next week?

216
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 3: You know, it's it's honestly almost as like we're starting over.

217
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 3: You know, we have kind of a new staff coming

218
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 3: in right now, and this is the first week of practice.

219
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 3: We've got a little bit of beneficial things going on,

220
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 3: and training wise and skill wise.

221
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 2: It's almost like we're back at the drawing right now.

222
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 3: While everyone is kind of meshing well together and finding

223
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 3: their rhythm, it's like we're back at kind of square one.

224
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 3: So just trying to get back in the gym and

225
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 3: finding us and trying to find the character of our

226
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 3: team and trying to produce something in this next few

227
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 3: in the next few weeks coming up.

228
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: Speaking of staff, new staff, I saw on the sideline

229
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: Penn State legend Nicole Fawcett. Was she helping you guys

230
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: out on the team?

231
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's she is such a gym to have in

232
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 3: our gym right now. Nicole has such a great eye

233
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 3: for the game at this level. She's played at the

234
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 3: highest level ever, as well as on the national's team

235
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 3: in the Olympian She has just such an experience and

236
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 3: just being able to go out and coach and learn

237
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 3: the things she's doing coaching and now she kind of

238
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 3: explained the game to us from her perspective.

239
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 2: It's amazing.

240
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 3: That's one thing I've been telling Madison Skinner and the

241
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 3: girls who are not really much aware of her our team, like,

242
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 3: do your research, Like what she says is law, Like, Maddie,

243
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 3: you should be asking a cool about everything.

244
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 2: You know, you've a question, don't be afraid to ask.

245
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 3: It's just having her jam and just having like her

246
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 3: be able to coach us every day and just helping

247
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 3: us out with the little things has been very special.

248
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 2: So we're very, very very grateful to have her.

249
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: That's so cool to have someone like her helping me out.

250
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 2: I kind of banger every day.

251
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, going back to Madison, you know, this team had

252
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 1: a slightly different lineup out there on Saturday night. We're

253
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: used to seeing Sarah Franklin on the outside. But Saturday,

254
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: Jennifer Yanniska got the nod. She finished with five kills,

255
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: three blocks, two aces and eight digs. So how did

256
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: she help change the dynamic of that team?

257
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 2: I think just.

258
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 3: Playing against us also able to see just her consistency,

259
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 3: Like she is leveled throughout the entire match.

260
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 2: Basically what you see, what you get.

261
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 3: And she's going to terminate when she can, and she's

262
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 3: going to give you a good pass. You're going to

263
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 3: keep you in system much she can, and she's a

264
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 3: hard target to not keep the ball off of.

265
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 2: That makes sense. So she preferred well this weekend, I think,

266
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 2: and and like props to her.

267
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: Honestly, we mentioned Lauren Carlini a bunch of times already,

268
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: but the newly thirty year old was named player of

269
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: the match. She had forty assists, nine digs and an

270
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: ace and a dig kill off of her head.

271
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 3: We were yelling, not at her, but like as she's

272
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 3: like going for the ball, We're like, honestly, if it's

273
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 3: like that close the perimeter, you just play it because

274
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 3: you know you don't want to risk just that small chance.

275
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 3: We're just like, go, go go, And I think she

276
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 3: thought that it was out and it was right here

277
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 3: inside the.

278
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: Line, so it was really close.

279
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it was also cool play. It was a

280
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 3: really cool play. I didn't even see what happened until

281
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 3: it was happening in real time, so.

282
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw a replay. I think it was the

283
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: Love cameras, And after Maddie hit the ball in her head,

284
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: Lauren just immediately was like, it's.

285
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:45,959
Speaker 3: Up and up.

286
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 2: Look around.

287
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

288
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like a little cat. Yeah yeah yeah.

289
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: Have you ever had a ball hit you in the

290
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: head or in the face.

291
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 2: I've been hitting the face. But it wasn't a point.

292
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 2: It was up.

293
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 3: It was playable, you know, it was it counts the

294
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 3: defensive to but no point.

295
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 2: So that was definitely very well done to her.

296
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: All Right, well, we're done with the recaps, but we

297
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: want to look ahead to week nine as well, So

298
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: let's take a look at the games that are going

299
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: to be happening in which one you are most excited

300
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: to watch. So Thursday night we got Omaha hosting Salt Lake,

301
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: Omaha coming off a five match losing streak. Friday Night

302
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: kicks off the weekend with Love in Atlanta with Atlanta

303
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: playing Houston. Then Saturday's doubleheader begins with the hottest team

304
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 1: in the league, I would say Madison versus Houston, and

305
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: then we finished with your team love Austin facing Atlanta.

306
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: So which match are you excited about?

307
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 3: See before, I was thinking I was really excited about

308
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 3: the Atlanta versus Houston rematch.

309
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 2: You know, us off of the Kansas City matches.

310
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 3: Step was so fun to watch, so I'm sure that

311
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 3: Atlanta has an edge going into that match, So that's

312
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 3: gonna be a great matchup. Obviously, the battles are the

313
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,599
Speaker 3: best outsize right now in the league, I think for

314
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,839
Speaker 3: myself speaking. But then also I'm ready. I'm excited to

315
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 3: see how Houston handles Madison. You know, Madison's in a
