0:00:02.560 --> 0:00:06.280
<v Speaker 1>Hi, I'm Tiffany Oshinski and I'm Cappo, and this is

0:00:06.320 --> 0:00:09.480
<v Speaker 1>serving pancakes with League one Volleyball. You know, your love

0:00:09.560 --> 0:00:12.680
<v Speaker 1>season is finally here. Each episode will be going over

0:00:12.720 --> 0:00:14.520
<v Speaker 1>the matches from the week to keep you up to

0:00:14.600 --> 0:00:18.160
<v Speaker 1>date on everything League one Volleyball. Then stick around after

0:00:18.160 --> 0:00:21.400
<v Speaker 1>the analysis for interviews with some amazing people in and

0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:24.640
<v Speaker 1>around the sport. For today's episode, we're just going to

0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:27.600
<v Speaker 1>break down week eight and look ahead to week nine.

0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:29.200
<v Speaker 1>So how you doing today, Kat?

0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:30.840
<v Speaker 2>Doing good? Long travel day?

0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:33.000
<v Speaker 3>You know, we were Madison this past weekend and got

0:00:33.000 --> 0:00:35.519
<v Speaker 3>back around nine amt backandalla, so.

0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:37.360
<v Speaker 2>Travel light day was kind of long, but feeling good,

0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:38.080
<v Speaker 2>feeling really good.

0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:40.400
<v Speaker 1>All right, well you ready get into it.

0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:41.800
<v Speaker 2>Let's get into it.

0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:45.200
<v Speaker 1>Let's do it all right, Let's start with Love Houston's

0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:48.920
<v Speaker 1>homecoming that was spoiled thanks to a sweep by Love

0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:52.080
<v Speaker 1>salt Lake twenty five seventeen twenty five one twenty five

0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:55.360
<v Speaker 1>twenty one. Houston had been on the road for six weeks,

0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:57.800
<v Speaker 1>so I'm pretty sure this is probably not how they

0:00:57.840 --> 0:01:00.520
<v Speaker 1>wanted to come out on the court. Now they were

0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:04.399
<v Speaker 1>without their opposites, Jordan Thompson, who has been absolutely on

0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:07.480
<v Speaker 1>fire lately and Grace Frowling as well as middle Raphael

0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:10.840
<v Speaker 1>fully Now, missing key players like that can throw a

0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:14.959
<v Speaker 1>game play off. But you know, everyone's practicing together, they're

0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:17.040
<v Speaker 1>in the same gym, they have the same coach. So

0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:20.240
<v Speaker 1>what was Houston unable to do Thursday night that they

0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:21.720
<v Speaker 1>have been able to do previously.

0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:24.039
<v Speaker 3>I think, like like all games, salt Lake and other

0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:25.880
<v Speaker 3>teams are just starting to mesh well right now. You know,

0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:27.480
<v Speaker 3>we're coming towards end of the season and towards that

0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:30.880
<v Speaker 3>big major tournament. So I think Houston without JT she's

0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:32.640
<v Speaker 3>a strong part that's missing, but they have so many

0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:35.360
<v Speaker 3>different competitors on their team they can absolutely withstand that storm.

0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:37.360
<v Speaker 2>But Salt Lake just came out on fire that night.

0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:39.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and one of the things that they did really

0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:42.679
<v Speaker 1>well was block, and they out blocked Houston twelve to four,

0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:46.200
<v Speaker 1>middle Tory Dixon leading the team with five. So talk

0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:49.480
<v Speaker 1>to me for a second about some technical stuff. How

0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:52.680
<v Speaker 1>are you reading the setters and hitters to make sure

0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:56.120
<v Speaker 1>that you're in proper position to block and get those blocks?

0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:59.280
<v Speaker 3>Well, that depends on like who you're reading, like Lauren

0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:01.559
<v Speaker 3>Carly and he's hard to read michah Hancofs was also

0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:03.800
<v Speaker 3>kind of card to read reading just kind of happens

0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:06.400
<v Speaker 3>amongst the floor where the ball is. Talk about zones,

0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:08.480
<v Speaker 3>you know, as an opposite hitter, if the middle is

0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:11.040
<v Speaker 3>anywhere between you know, a push one and the three

0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:13.080
<v Speaker 3>or the gap we like to call it, that's kind

0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:14.519
<v Speaker 3>of my zone and enough to take care of either

0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:16.360
<v Speaker 3>her or the outside hitter in front of me. But

0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:18.680
<v Speaker 3>once that middle's out of my zone, my only focuses

0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:20.480
<v Speaker 3>my player in front of me, and that's that. I

0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:22.480
<v Speaker 3>think it kind of goes on both pins, depending on

0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:24.520
<v Speaker 3>what's happening. But even right right now, as you can

0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:27.240
<v Speaker 3>tell last like last night, Mattison was running a few

0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:29.440
<v Speaker 3>inside rip balls on us, so you can quickly lose

0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:31.240
<v Speaker 3>track of that pin hitter when that middle will still

0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:31.960
<v Speaker 3>ality up your zone.

0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:33.960
<v Speaker 2>So keeping your head on the swivel for sure, all.

0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:36.720
<v Speaker 1>Right, talk to me about outside Ronnie Jones Perry. She

0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:39.320
<v Speaker 1>earned Player of the Match honors thanks for her twelve kills,

0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:41.960
<v Speaker 1>eight digs, one block and an ace. We've heard her

0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:43.720
<v Speaker 1>name throughout the season, So what did she do in

0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:45.600
<v Speaker 1>this match to help salt Lake with the suite?

0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:46.120
<v Speaker 2>Hey?

0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:48.480
<v Speaker 3>Being Ronnie all these games coming up. We've been on

0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:51.200
<v Speaker 3>freaking fire, you know. So being consistent and being that

0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:52.919
<v Speaker 3>go to player for her team has been a strong

0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:55.000
<v Speaker 3>advantage for Salt Lake and then just combining with her

0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:57.520
<v Speaker 3>like Ronnie has been a force we reckon.

0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:00.480
<v Speaker 1>With for sure, and she's got amazing arms.

0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:03.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah shot, what about.

0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:04.639
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:05.120
<v Speaker 2>Like that?

0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:11.959
<v Speaker 1>Let's move on to Omaha Madison. It was six weeks

0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:14.480
<v Speaker 1>since Houston played at home and Friday marked six weeks

0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:17.520
<v Speaker 1>since Loved Madison last one to match, but that all

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:21.120
<v Speaker 1>changed after they beat Omaha in four sets eighteen twenty five,

0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:25.119
<v Speaker 1>twenty five, twenty two, twenty five, sixteen, twenty five, twenty one,

0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:27.760
<v Speaker 1>and the win was led by a two time Olympic

0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:31.639
<v Speaker 1>medalist opposite Annie Drew Schumacher. She had twenty three kills,

0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:35.840
<v Speaker 1>three aces, two blocks, six digs, easily her best match

0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:39.400
<v Speaker 1>all season so far. Where has this South Pap been?

0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:40.120
<v Speaker 3>You know?

0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:40.800
<v Speaker 2>Man?

0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:43.040
<v Speaker 3>No, Annie was saying she's having some shoulder issues, but

0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:46.200
<v Speaker 3>whatever she's doing, it's working, Like she came out swinging

0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:48.800
<v Speaker 3>two nights ago, so you know. Also, I think Madison's

0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:51.520
<v Speaker 3>finding a great balance within the team. Jennifer Genetski, She's

0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:53.360
<v Speaker 3>doing a great job for them. Just being consistent as

0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:54.680
<v Speaker 3>well as.

0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:57.200
<v Speaker 2>Well as another setter, Lauren Carlyne.

0:03:57.440 --> 0:03:59.040
<v Speaker 3>You have Lauren carly you can pretty much do anything,

0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:01.960
<v Speaker 3>but haven't any as additioned to that is definitely a

0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:02.560
<v Speaker 3>game changer.

0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:06.040
<v Speaker 1>Now, this match saw some ridiculous rallies. You know, I

0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:08.400
<v Speaker 1>actually was looking. I was like, I wish love had

0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:11.119
<v Speaker 1>stats for the length of rallies because I would love

0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:14.360
<v Speaker 1>to see where the best ones and the longest ones are.

0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:16.560
<v Speaker 1>But you know, I mean, this is what makes volleyball

0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:17.000
<v Speaker 1>so much fun.

0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:17.279
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:19.839
<v Speaker 1>I know what it's like to play in long rallies,

0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:22.080
<v Speaker 1>but the level of play that I'm doing is much

0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:24.560
<v Speaker 1>lower than the professional level that you ladies are playing.

0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:27.360
<v Speaker 1>So talk to me about what it's like during and

0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:28.600
<v Speaker 1>after those rallies.

0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:31.160
<v Speaker 3>You know, a rally can go for a short period

0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:33.120
<v Speaker 3>of time hardcore volleyball, or a long period of time

0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:34.400
<v Speaker 3>even more hard volleyball.

0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:36.320
<v Speaker 2>It's just a marathon you really can't prepare for.

0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:38.279
<v Speaker 3>You don't know how long it's going to be for

0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:40.839
<v Speaker 3>you just know those few births of moments of space

0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:42.599
<v Speaker 3>and time it as hard as you can and just

0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:43.400
<v Speaker 3>hope to win that point.

0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:46.119
<v Speaker 2>So being in those rallies are very very tough for sure,

0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:46.640
<v Speaker 2>very tough.

0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:48.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and then there was that one rally in this

0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:53.240
<v Speaker 1>match with Lexi Rodriguez getting four digs in the whole

0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:55.960
<v Speaker 1>thing and Omaha ending up getting the point. It was

0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:59.159
<v Speaker 1>just absolutely insane. Lexi is so fun to watch.

0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:01.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, everywhere I saw her middle back, scoop and ball,

0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:04.800
<v Speaker 3>She's like again, talk about reading, reading the block, getting

0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:06.840
<v Speaker 3>seen behind the block, and being a very very good

0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:08.400
<v Speaker 3>addition to them as well last night the other night.

0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:25.080
<v Speaker 1>Man all right, I also want to give a shout

0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:28.640
<v Speaker 1>out to Cedar Lauren Carlini, who turned thirty that same

0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:35.359
<v Speaker 1>day that they got there. Let's go. She had fifty assists,

0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:39.119
<v Speaker 1>two blocks, twelve digs. So you know, do you think

0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:41.520
<v Speaker 1>that the birthday kind of helped fire them up a

0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:41.960
<v Speaker 1>little bit?

0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:44.599
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely? Your special day is just for you. You know,

0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:46.240
<v Speaker 3>you wake up with a different kind of swagger on

0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:47.800
<v Speaker 3>your chest. Even for myself. You know what I wake

0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:49.760
<v Speaker 3>on my birthday, I just feel great. So if it's

0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:51.120
<v Speaker 3>a game day, I'm know I'm trying to get you one.

0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:53.000
<v Speaker 3>If it's an early birthday present I can give myself,

0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:54.080
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna go out there and do that.

0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:56.960
<v Speaker 2>So that birthday day was definitely helping her out for sure.

0:05:57.200 --> 0:05:59.839
<v Speaker 1>All Right, moving to Saturday's doubleheader, We'll start with love

0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:04.080
<v Speaker 1>Atlanta's five set reverse sweep over Omaha twenty one, twenty five,

0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:08.160
<v Speaker 1>twenty five, twenty seven, twenty five, nineteen, twenty five, twenty three,

0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:12.560
<v Speaker 1>fifteen twelve. Great turnaround for Atlanta to come back and

0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:15.000
<v Speaker 1>show why they're at the top of the standings right now.

0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:17.240
<v Speaker 1>What did they do to turn it around after that

0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:18.000
<v Speaker 1>second set?

0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:20.960
<v Speaker 3>I think just using their bench. You know, Jessica Rivere

0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:22.560
<v Speaker 3>came in and did some good things for them. Gia

0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:24.800
<v Speaker 3>came into some good things for them. Atlanta's going to

0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.440
<v Speaker 3>be Atlanta like always. I think they really good job

0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:29.560
<v Speaker 3>as far as like flustering Omaha. You know, there were

0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:32.240
<v Speaker 3>some broken plays between Jordan and the bro kind of

0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:35.320
<v Speaker 3>just being going into a little bit miscommunication plays. I

0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:37.560
<v Speaker 3>feel like even in Ata system, they felt like they

0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:39.159
<v Speaker 3>were in system. They were getting a lot of googballs,

0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:41.480
<v Speaker 3>touches off the block and keep an offense going.

0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:43.120
<v Speaker 2>So it was a really fun game to watch and

0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:44.159
<v Speaker 2>to see them come back and win.

0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:46.240
<v Speaker 1>Well, let's talk about Gia Day for a second. She

0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:48.480
<v Speaker 1>came in off the bench after those first two sets,

0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:51.640
<v Speaker 1>really helped Atlanta. She actually led the team with fifteen

0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:55.040
<v Speaker 1>kills after she got in. What does Gia bring to

0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:55.440
<v Speaker 1>the court.

0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.920
<v Speaker 2>I am a Gada fan like Jia is. I'm a

0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:01.760
<v Speaker 2>Korean beat both getting Korea. She's a Kareem vet.

0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:04.800
<v Speaker 3>And it's a certain type of grit you have to

0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:06.400
<v Speaker 3>have to be able to come off the bench and

0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:09.360
<v Speaker 3>do what you're supposed to do, create longevity and points

0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:10.920
<v Speaker 3>and be able to out there and make a difference.

0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:12.480
<v Speaker 3>So being in Korea, you get a lot of practice

0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:14.120
<v Speaker 3>of doing that, and I'm so happy to see her

0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:17.080
<v Speaker 3>bring that part of her game into love actually love it.

0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:21.360
<v Speaker 1>Magda Helloava made a name for herself in this match.

0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:24.680
<v Speaker 1>Nine blocks for the middle from Checchia, more than double

0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:27.960
<v Speaker 1>actually what she's accumulated all season so far. She also

0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:31.760
<v Speaker 1>had a season high twelve kills while hitting for seventy four.

0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:33.960
<v Speaker 1>Talk to me about Magda and what she did in

0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:34.560
<v Speaker 1>this match.

0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:36.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, Mac does not getting the get the

0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:37.200
<v Speaker 2>love she should be getting.

0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:38.880
<v Speaker 3>You know, you hear a lot about the office of

0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:40.800
<v Speaker 3>the middle blockers some around the league, and Mac doesn't

0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:42.480
<v Speaker 3>have the name you hear most often. But she's definitely

0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:44.800
<v Speaker 3>a player to be on the lookout for. She's been

0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:46.400
<v Speaker 3>playing a lot of good games coming up. She's got

0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:48.360
<v Speaker 3>a lot of good stretching amongst the games that have

0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:50.600
<v Speaker 3>been in her pocket so far. And yeah, coming up

0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:52.480
<v Speaker 3>with twelve blocks and being a big part of the

0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:53.840
<v Speaker 3>defense's that's huge.

0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:55.160
<v Speaker 2>So shout out to her for sure.

0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:59.280
<v Speaker 1>And the last match of the weekend Love Madison must

0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:02.000
<v Speaker 1>have been riding high after their win on Friday because

0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:07.240
<v Speaker 1>they swept your team, Love Austin every week every week

0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:13.280
<v Speaker 1>twenty five, twenty two, twenty five, twenty one, twenty five, seventeen.

0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:15.960
<v Speaker 1>So what was Madison doing right in that match?

0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:20.120
<v Speaker 3>Everything, you know, being on the receiving end of that.

0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:23.400
<v Speaker 3>But whoop in let's just look at the look at

0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:25.120
<v Speaker 3>what's in front of us. You have Andie Drews is

0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:28.360
<v Speaker 3>going off, you have Stevie who's going off in the middle,

0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:30.400
<v Speaker 3>you have Jennifer going off, is going on the outside,

0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:31.280
<v Speaker 3>And like you.

0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:33.319
<v Speaker 2>Know, as a blocker, and I was a defensive team, you.

0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:35.319
<v Speaker 3>Want to be able to slow down someone, and being

0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:38.240
<v Speaker 3>able to slow down Andy Drews is very very difficult,

0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:41.400
<v Speaker 3>almost near impossible, you know. So you have to take

0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:43.040
<v Speaker 3>your losses where they are and have to you know,

0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:45.000
<v Speaker 3>focus more on people. You can kind of slow down,

0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:47.040
<v Speaker 3>and I don't think we did a good job trying

0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:48.560
<v Speaker 3>to touch a lot of balls and slow down, you know,

0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:52.000
<v Speaker 3>other positions. So with that off balance, you get a

0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:54.200
<v Speaker 3>lot of success attacking watched from the other team, and

0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:56.680
<v Speaker 3>that's definitely got us in the long run for sure.

0:08:57.000 --> 0:08:58.960
<v Speaker 1>What are you guys looking to do to improve into

0:08:59.000 --> 0:08:59.560
<v Speaker 1>next week?

0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:02.520
<v Speaker 3>You know, it's it's honestly almost as like we're starting over.

0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:04.320
<v Speaker 3>You know, we have kind of a new staff coming

0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:06.439
<v Speaker 3>in right now, and this is the first week of practice.

0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:08.360
<v Speaker 3>We've got a little bit of beneficial things going on,

0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:10.200
<v Speaker 3>and training wise and skill wise.

0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:12.440
<v Speaker 2>It's almost like we're back at the drawing right now.

0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:15.000
<v Speaker 3>While everyone is kind of meshing well together and finding

0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:17.280
<v Speaker 3>their rhythm, it's like we're back at kind of square one.

0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:18.880
<v Speaker 3>So just trying to get back in the gym and

0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:21.960
<v Speaker 3>finding us and trying to find the character of our

0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:24.680
<v Speaker 3>team and trying to produce something in this next few

0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:26.000
<v Speaker 3>in the next few weeks coming up.

0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:31.480
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of staff, new staff, I saw on the sideline

0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:35.320
<v Speaker 1>Penn State legend Nicole Fawcett. Was she helping you guys

0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:36.040
<v Speaker 1>out on the team?

0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:38.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's she is such a gym to have in

0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:42.280
<v Speaker 3>our gym right now. Nicole has such a great eye

0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:44.400
<v Speaker 3>for the game at this level. She's played at the

0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:46.760
<v Speaker 3>highest level ever, as well as on the national's team

0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:50.440
<v Speaker 3>in the Olympian She has just such an experience and

0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:52.160
<v Speaker 3>just being able to go out and coach and learn

0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:53.920
<v Speaker 3>the things she's doing coaching and now she kind of

0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:55.600
<v Speaker 3>explained the game to us from her perspective.

0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:56.080
<v Speaker 2>It's amazing.

0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:58.640
<v Speaker 3>That's one thing I've been telling Madison Skinner and the

0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:00.680
<v Speaker 3>girls who are not really much aware of her our team, like,

0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:04.200
<v Speaker 3>do your research, Like what she says is law, Like, Maddie,

0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:07.559
<v Speaker 3>you should be asking a cool about everything.

0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:09.200
<v Speaker 2>You know, you've a question, don't be afraid to ask.

0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:11.000
<v Speaker 3>It's just having her jam and just having like her

0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:13.079
<v Speaker 3>be able to coach us every day and just helping

0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:14.600
<v Speaker 3>us out with the little things has been very special.

0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:16.840
<v Speaker 2>So we're very, very very grateful to have her.

0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:20.120
<v Speaker 1>That's so cool to have someone like her helping me out.

0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:21.400
<v Speaker 2>I kind of banger every day.

0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:26.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, going back to Madison, you know, this team had

0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:29.679
<v Speaker 1>a slightly different lineup out there on Saturday night. We're

0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:32.280
<v Speaker 1>used to seeing Sarah Franklin on the outside. But Saturday,

0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:35.320
<v Speaker 1>Jennifer Yanniska got the nod. She finished with five kills,

0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:38.040
<v Speaker 1>three blocks, two aces and eight digs. So how did

0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:40.440
<v Speaker 1>she help change the dynamic of that team?

0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:41.440
<v Speaker 2>I think just.

0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:44.679
<v Speaker 3>Playing against us also able to see just her consistency,

0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:46.959
<v Speaker 3>Like she is leveled throughout the entire match.

0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:48.360
<v Speaker 2>Basically what you see, what you get.

0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:50.520
<v Speaker 3>And she's going to terminate when she can, and she's

0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:52.040
<v Speaker 3>going to give you a good pass. You're going to

0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:53.760
<v Speaker 3>keep you in system much she can, and she's a

0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:56.160
<v Speaker 3>hard target to not keep the ball off of.

0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:59.760
<v Speaker 2>That makes sense. So she preferred well this weekend, I think,

0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:00.920
<v Speaker 2>and and like props to her.

0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:04.040
<v Speaker 1>Honestly, we mentioned Lauren Carlini a bunch of times already,

0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:06.840
<v Speaker 1>but the newly thirty year old was named player of

0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:10.000
<v Speaker 1>the match. She had forty assists, nine digs and an

0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:13.200
<v Speaker 1>ace and a dig kill off of her head.

0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:18.440
<v Speaker 3>We were yelling, not at her, but like as she's

0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:21.120
<v Speaker 3>like going for the ball, We're like, honestly, if it's

0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:23.760
<v Speaker 3>like that close the perimeter, you just play it because

0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:25.880
<v Speaker 3>you know you don't want to risk just that small chance.

0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:27.800
<v Speaker 3>We're just like, go, go go, And I think she

0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:29.800
<v Speaker 3>thought that it was out and it was right here

0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:30.200
<v Speaker 3>inside the.

0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:32.280
<v Speaker 1>Line, so it was really close.

0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:34.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but it was also cool play. It was a

0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:36.360
<v Speaker 3>really cool play. I didn't even see what happened until

0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:37.679
<v Speaker 3>it was happening in real time, so.

0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:40.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I saw a replay. I think it was the

0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:43.640
<v Speaker 1>Love cameras, And after Maddie hit the ball in her head,

0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:45.520
<v Speaker 1>Lauren just immediately was like, it's.

0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:45.959
<v Speaker 3>Up and up.

0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:47.679
<v Speaker 2>Look around.

0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:47.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:51.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's like a little cat. Yeah yeah yeah.

0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:52.760
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever had a ball hit you in the

0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:53.600
<v Speaker 1>head or in the face.

0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:56.360
<v Speaker 2>I've been hitting the face. But it wasn't a point.

0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:56.959
<v Speaker 2>It was up.

0:11:57.080 --> 0:11:59.560
<v Speaker 3>It was playable, you know, it was it counts the

0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:01.160
<v Speaker 3>defensive to but no point.

0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:04.040
<v Speaker 2>So that was definitely very well done to her.

0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:08.000
<v Speaker 1>All Right, well, we're done with the recaps, but we

0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:10.040
<v Speaker 1>want to look ahead to week nine as well, So

0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:12.480
<v Speaker 1>let's take a look at the games that are going

0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:15.280
<v Speaker 1>to be happening in which one you are most excited

0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:18.640
<v Speaker 1>to watch. So Thursday night we got Omaha hosting Salt Lake,

0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:22.360
<v Speaker 1>Omaha coming off a five match losing streak. Friday Night

0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:24.760
<v Speaker 1>kicks off the weekend with Love in Atlanta with Atlanta

0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:28.800
<v Speaker 1>playing Houston. Then Saturday's doubleheader begins with the hottest team

0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:31.560
<v Speaker 1>in the league, I would say Madison versus Houston, and

0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:35.000
<v Speaker 1>then we finished with your team love Austin facing Atlanta.

0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:36.760
<v Speaker 1>So which match are you excited about?

0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:39.760
<v Speaker 3>See before, I was thinking I was really excited about

0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:41.480
<v Speaker 3>the Atlanta versus Houston rematch.

0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:43.560
<v Speaker 2>You know, us off of the Kansas City matches.

0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:45.160
<v Speaker 3>Step was so fun to watch, so I'm sure that

0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:47.320
<v Speaker 3>Atlanta has an edge going into that match, So that's

0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:49.600
<v Speaker 3>gonna be a great matchup. Obviously, the battles are the

0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:51.599
<v Speaker 3>best outsize right now in the league, I think for

0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:54.839
<v Speaker 3>myself speaking. But then also I'm ready. I'm excited to

0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:57.560
<v Speaker 3>see how Houston handles Madison. You know, Madison's in a

0:12:57.640 --> 0:12:59.600
<v Speaker 3>roll right now, and they have Anna and Annie in there,

0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:01.920
<v Speaker 3>and they found that connectivity right now as a team.

0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:03.720
<v Speaker 3>So that's also be a really great match to watch.

0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:04.360
<v Speaker 3>What do you think?

0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:07.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm kind of feeling it with the Madison Houston

0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:09.679
<v Speaker 1>match as well. I think it's going to be really

0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:11.760
<v Speaker 1>fun to watch, especially with Madison being so fired up

0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:13.920
<v Speaker 1>right now. I'm kind of like, let's go.

0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:16.560
<v Speaker 2>It's any man's game right now. This is the great thing.

0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:18.200
<v Speaker 3>I don't think about this League like, it can be

0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:20.719
<v Speaker 3>any team tonight and who show it's going to show

0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:23.200
<v Speaker 3>up and it's it can be any weekend and in

0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:26.600
<v Speaker 3>given weeks on end, you know, so this can be

0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:28.120
<v Speaker 3>an up war for Madison right now.

0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:32.160
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, well that's it for this episode of Serving Pancakes.
