Today's episode features Love Salt Lake, Sophie Fisher, 17 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: and Skyler Fields. But let's first recap what all went 18 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:13,919 Speaker 1: down in Week ten. Love Madison continued their hot streak, 19 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 1: winning their fourth match in a row over Love Omaha. 20 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 1: In four sets twenty five, sixteen, twenty five, seventeen, twenty six, 21 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:26,040 Speaker 1: twenty eight, twenty five sixteen. Not only is Madison hitting 22 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: their stride, they are hitting spectacularly. In Thursday night's match, 23 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: they hit a League one volleyball high four point fifty 24 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: with fifty eight kills and only nine errors in one 25 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 1: hundred and nine attacks. And no surprise here. Lefty Annie 26 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: Drew Schumacher and outside Sarah Franklin led the team with 27 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: nineteen and eighteen kills respectively. To Sarah Franklin, does she 28 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 1: go down the line? 29 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 2: She does? 30 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: Of course, those numbers don't appear just out of nowhere. 31 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: Ceder Lauren Carlini, who earned Player of the Match honors, 32 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: has been placing the ball all over the court for 33 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: her hitters, accumulating fifty assists plus a kill of her own. 34 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: She also had an eighth, two blocks and nine digs. 35 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 1: After the match, she talked about the offensive weapons on 36 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: the team that have made them so successful. 37 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 3: Just so many fats of the game that we've been 38 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 3: getting better at week by week, and it's clear here 39 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 3: in how we play, we just have so many weapons. 40 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 2: I feel like it's pretty hard to make a game 41 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:20,679 Speaker 2: plan against. 42 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 4: Us, Well, it's pretty hard to beat you. 43 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: Your condition of that ball around to everyone, So congrats. 44 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: This win plus the outcome of the rest of the 45 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 1: weekend propelled Madison to third in the standings. Madison will 46 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,239 Speaker 1: be back on the court Thursday night versus Love Salt Lake. Meanwhile, 47 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,959 Speaker 1: Omaha has now lost seventh straight, falling to four and seven. 48 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: Their next match is Friday against Austin as they kick 49 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: off the weekend with Love at home. Friday night, we 50 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,399 Speaker 1: saw what I dubbed the best rivalry in League one, 51 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: Love Houston versus Love Atlanta, with Houston winning in five 52 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,239 Speaker 1: sets twenty five, twenty three, twenty five, twenty three, fifteen, 53 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: twenty five, nineteen, twenty five, fifteen eight. Houston held off 54 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: the reverse sweep, something that they just did to Atlanta 55 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 1: last week, and are now three to zero against Atlanta 56 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: this season. Opposite Jordan Thompson was player of the match, 57 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: finishing with fourteen points from thirteen kills and a block. 58 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 1: She also had nine digs. JT's biggest impact came in 59 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: the fifth set, where she had four kills and this 60 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:31,639 Speaker 1: big block. Despite her impactful plays, Jordan did not think 61 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: she deserved the player of the Match honors and said 62 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: so after the match, citing teammate Jess Mursey who helped 63 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: get her out of her own head. At one point. 64 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 5: Jess was like, Bro, you have to stop looking like 65 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 5: you're not a two time Olympian. I was like, girl, 66 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 5: I'm trying my best out here. By It was rough tonight, 67 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 5: but I think like you have to just keep playing 68 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 5: through it and know that's gonna come. Like I've been 69 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 5: playing for I don't know how many years now, I'm 70 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 5: gonna have rough games. I think we all do, but 71 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 5: just thankfully I have amazing teammates who continue to support 72 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 5: me in the rough moments. 73 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: It was a rough match for both teams, as Houston 74 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: only hit one a eighty six with one ace and 75 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 1: eleven serving errors and Atlanta hit two sixteen with seven 76 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: aces and twelve errors. Ultimately, Houston was able to come 77 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: back and come out on top, which leads us to 78 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:18,599 Speaker 1: Saturday's doubleheader, which both teams participated in. We start with 79 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,239 Speaker 1: Atlanta versus Love Salt Lake in another five set battle, 80 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: with Atlanta holding on. So when this match twenty five 81 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,160 Speaker 1: seventeen twenty three, twenty five twenty five eighteen twenty three 82 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: twenty five, fifteen eleven. Atlanta isn't a stranger to these 83 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: long matches. This was their third five setter and four 84 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: matches and sixth all season, and despite playing in one 85 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: twenty hours earlier, Atlanta showed that they can persevere. Kelsey 86 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 1: Robinson Cook was named player of the match thanks to 87 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 1: her season best eighteen kills in team high twenty one digs, 88 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: Robinson perfect ball in transition. Atlanta has a two game 89 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: lead over Houston with only three games left to play, 90 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 1: so they've secured one of the top two spots in 91 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: the Love Finals, which rewards teams with a bye. Their 92 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: next match is Saturday in Omaha against Love Austin. Salt 93 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 1: Lake is five and seven with four more games to play. 94 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,719 Speaker 1: Their next match is home on Thursday against White Hot Madison. 95 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 1: The last match in Week ten was the Battle of Texas, 96 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: with Houston defeating Love Austin in four sets twenty seven 97 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,840 Speaker 1: to twenty five. Twenty five eighteen nineteen twenty five, twenty five, 98 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,119 Speaker 1: twenty two. Houston improved three to one over their cross 99 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 1: state rival, and after a tight first set, the two 100 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: teams each showed their strengths, alternating who would win over 101 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 1: the next three sets, Austin opposite Madison Skinner had twenty 102 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: three kills, tying her season high, and middle Chiaco Gago 103 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,919 Speaker 1: hit four hundred with ten kills, but despite their best efforts, 104 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: Houston still managed to battle back for the win. Jordan 105 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: Thompson had another great performance, amassing nineteen kills, three blocks, 106 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: eleven digs and an assist, but it was outside Jess 107 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: Murzik who earned Player of the match with fourteen kills, 108 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: including the game winner to down Houston comes back in 109 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: the Horn with the season nearing the end, just shared 110 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: how they're going to keep improving and fighting to stay ahead. 111 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 6: As we get deeper into the season and going into 112 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 6: the finals.

How has your experience been so far 175 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 1: with Love. 176 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 2: It's been good, honestly. 177 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 3: Like you mentioned, I've played in Italy last season, so 178 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,080 Speaker 3: I've graduated college and then I went to the end 179 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 3: of their season, so it was three months there and 180 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 3: it was really challenging. But I think it really helped 181 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,680 Speaker 3: push me and shape me as a not only just 182 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 3: a player, but a person as well. And I think 183 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 3: that just being able to come home and play high 184 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 3: level volleyball in the United. 185 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 2: States has been something that we're very fortunate to have because. 186 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 3: A lot of people do go overseas to get that 187 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 3: high level type of volleyball. But I think having a 188 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,719 Speaker 3: competition here has been super helpful, and then getting to 189 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 3: play with and against some of the best player in 190 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 3: the world. 191 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 2: So it's been amazing. Yeah, I mean I'd said the 192 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:42,439 Speaker 2: same thing. 193 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,839 Speaker 6: I don't have any like international professional experience, but I 194 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:47,679 Speaker 6: think it's really cool that I got an opportunity to 195 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 6: play at a super high level with like great teammates 196 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 6: on my team in the United States for my first 197 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 6: year of professional volleyball and then also just like learning 198 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 6: from like great middles in my position too, So I'm 199 00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 6: really enjoying it. 200 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,439 Speaker 1: I mean, now, Sophie, you straight from college guy there, 201 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:02,959 Speaker 1: like we said that you got to play in Italy 202 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: for a year, So what made you guys ultimately want 203 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 1: to join and play for love? 204 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 6: I think for me, I just like had a great 205 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 6: opportunity and like good coaching, like we have Tama and 206 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 6: Bruno who are incredible coaches, and then like in my 207 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 6: position like Haley Washington and Tory Dixon and strindergreat like 208 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 6: both like all great medals and stuff who I can 209 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 6: learn a bunch from. 210 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:24,679 Speaker 2: And then just like being able to play in the 211 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 2: United States too. So I feel like there was just 212 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 2: so many. 213 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 6: More pros than cons, which they say ere my stripes, 214 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,559 Speaker 6: but I think that this is a great like almost 215 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 6: like dipping my toe in the water, but also getting 216 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 6: a super high level of competition without having to go overseas. 217 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 3: So for me, I think just being able to be 218 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 3: a part of history, you know, kind of start the league, 219 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 3: open it up. 220 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 2: And also, just like Sophie said, is just being around 221 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 2: really great people. 222 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 3: And you know, we have a great staff and also 223 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 3: a really good team, great people off the court as well, 224 00:10:58,720 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 3: so it really helps. 225 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 2: I think they have. 226 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,319 Speaker 3: Put us under their wings with kind of like the freshness. Yeah, 227 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 3: like maybe literally that children on the team. So I 228 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 3: think it's been super helpful to have like great people 229 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 3: around us helping push us every day. And then also 230 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 3: if you people have been kicking out that you can 231 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 3: see anybody can win them any night. So I think 232 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 3: having that level of competition is super cool because you know, 233 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 3: like in Italy and Turkey, it's like the top six 234 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 3: teams are killing the rest of the league. So it's 235 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 3: nice to have each team, like the levels be kind 236 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 3: of the same so that maybe, like I said, anyone 237 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 3: can win on any given night. 238 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 2: So it's good to have to bring your a game 239 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,199 Speaker 2: every day. Definitely. 240 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: Now you guys said it, you guys are the babies 241 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: on the team. Have you found like a mentor someone 242 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 1: who has taken you under their wing? To kind of 243 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: show you the ropes of like this world of professional 244 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: volleyball with you know, these Olympians on your team and 245 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:51,079 Speaker 1: throughout the league. 246 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 6: For me, especially Hilly Washington, because whenever I came in, 247 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 6: like she was not really able to play as much, 248 00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 6: so she really took me under her wing and like 249 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 6: I feel like I was annoying her with questions, but 250 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,680 Speaker 6: she was very well to them and wanted to be 251 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 6: doing something. So it was really nice to have her 252 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 6: and then all the other middles in my position too. 253 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 6: But then even playing with Jordan Poulter, I think that 254 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 6: she provides a bunch of like high level IQ and 255 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 6: so yeah, it's just a great kind of fit. 256 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. 257 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 3: I'd also say Poulter for me, Haavier said her like, 258 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 3: you know, give you the confidence and just telling you 259 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 3: to like go get it. But also I think the 260 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 3: other opposite of on my team, Haiti, She's ben't really 261 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 3: helpful for me because she's played the opposite of her 262 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 3: whole career. I'm just getting into it, so just you know, 263 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 3: getting some insight from her on what. 264 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 2: To do with certain situations has been super helpful for me. 265 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: We had Haley and Jordan on the podcast. Jordan I 266 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: got to interview back in California over the summer before 267 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 1: the Olympics.

Have they shown 271 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 1: you their like true colors off the court with like 272 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 1: Jordan's guitar, piano playing and Haley's reading and all of that. 273 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, we know them in and out.

I think 329 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 3: she's done a great job relaying information but not letting 330 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 3: her emotions get into it so that way we can 331 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 3: hear the reason is that she's saying but not feel 332 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 3: a certain time of way. 333 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 2: And then Bruno, on the other hand, he's a great contrast. 334 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 3: I think he brings a lot of energy for our 335 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 3: team and he shoots it straight, which we need sometimes. 336 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 2: You know, and I think he's just great. 337 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 3: I think everyone needs a Bruno in their life because 338 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 3: even when he's not coaching, he's just goofing around and 339 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 3: you need that sometimes you need a little light in 340 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 3: the gym. 341 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 2: So he's been great. Yeah, I agree. 342 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 6: I think that they both like so clearly like care 343 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 6: about us so much as people too, and not just 344 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 6: as acthletes. I think that's very refined at the professional level, 345 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 6: sometimes even in college. But yeah, I think that they're 346 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 6: both incredible and like, like you said, like everyone needs 347 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 6: a Bruno. He's no matter what day it is, he's 348 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 6: always like joking around, but I mean he has a 349 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 6: very serious Yeah he is get the ball bro, like 350 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 6: block the. 351 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 2: Ball, do it bro. But yeah, they're both incredible. 352 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 1: So that's amazing. Now, as of this recording, SELT like 353 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: has won three of their last four matches, including the 354 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: last two. So how are you ladies feeling about that, 355 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: especially with only a few more weeks left in the 356 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 1: regular season. 357 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 3: Hey wing always feels good, right, But I think you've 358 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 3: kind of turned a new leaf here, just trying to 359 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 3: focus on one day at a time and taking advantage 360 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 3: of the day. I think that's kind of helped shift 361 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 3: our focus and not really look too far ahead and 362 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 3: you know, think about the end of the season or 363 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 3: like the end of the season tournament. Where we're standing 364 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 3: right now. I think that just being where our feet 365 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 3: are has really helped our team. For Chris, you know, 366 00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 3: day to day of practice and then when it comes 367 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 3: to the match, just taking. 368 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 2: What we do throughout the week and implementing it in 369 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 2: to the match. Yeah, I agree. 370 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 6: I think just taking it one day at a time 371 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 6: and kind of we've been seeing each day I was 372 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,919 Speaker 6: like another opportunity to just get better and improve and 373 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,120 Speaker 6: just fine tune some things. 374 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 2: And I think it's looking good for us so far. 375 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: Have you guys, and now I've asked this question or 376 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,119 Speaker 1: it's come up in conversation with some of the other 377 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 1: girls I've interviewed, but this idea of like a rivalry 378 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 1: or rivals, they say it's a little tough because everyone's 379 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,640 Speaker 1: so supportive of each other and for the most part, 380 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,479 Speaker 1: really like each other. Have you found that you do 381 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 1: have a rivalry on the court, especially at this point 382 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,120 Speaker 1: where we're you know, ten weeks into the season, you've 383 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: seen each other, like you've played each other a lot. 384 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: Is there any sort of rivalry that you have. 385 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,920 Speaker 6: Yet, honestly, I think it's tough because, like you said, 386 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 6: like League one is all about like love and like 387 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 6: refor to Kevin and all that stuff, So I think 388 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 6: it's like tough to have a rivalry like that. But 389 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 6: obviously we have teams who we want to kind of 390 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 6: lose a couple more games so then we could. 391 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 2: Get up there a little bit. But it's out of 392 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 2: like deep rivalry just for like ranking standpoints. You don't 393 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 2: want to see anyone fail. 394 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 6: But at the same time we would like to get 395 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,400 Speaker 6: out therapy real but I wouldn't exactly call it a rivalry. 396 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 2: But maybe as more teams come in here, we'll get 397 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:14,719 Speaker 2: some more blackberries. 398 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 3: Well for me, But honestly, I think just people that 399 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,159 Speaker 3: I've played with before, I think that that kind of 400 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 3: is like, Okay, we kind of know each other. We're like, 401 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 3: let's see what we can do now on this stage. 402 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:30,880 Speaker 3: That kind of gets me going. I just love conversation. 403 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 3: So honestly, like even playing against some of the vets 404 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,399 Speaker 3: like Jordan Larson, Kelsey Cook, like I really like that 405 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 3: because I think that challenges me as a blocker and 406 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 3: as a hitter to see what I can do against 407 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 3: some of the best players in the world. 408 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 2: So it's been super cool to play against those players. 409 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 3: But I think, honestly, like I have a rivalry with everyone. Sorry, 410 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 3: I we want to win. 411 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 1: So yeah, we'll be right back with more from our 412 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:15,439 Speaker 1: interview with Skylar Field and Sophie Fisher. Well, Skyler, I mean, 413 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: you're having a great season so far as of this 414 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: recording your second on Salt Lake in Points. What do 415 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 1: you attribute your success to. 416 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,439 Speaker 3: I'd say just my teammates trusting me, trusting the training 417 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 3: that we put in. I think that we do a 418 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 3: really good job of pushing each other in the practice gym, 419 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 3: and I think that that. 420 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,439 Speaker 2: Forces me to have to do the same thing in 421 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 2: the matches. 422 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 3: I think that now, like you said, we have ten 423 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 3: weeks into the season, I think teams are starting to 424 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 3: watch more film. You know, you're playing against people still, 425 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 3: They're starting to know your tendency is a little bit 426 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 3: more so. I think that having to switch up what 427 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 3: I'm doing in the practice gym will also help me 428 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 3: just do that in Mattress too, because my teammates are 429 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 3: knowing me, and I'm pretty sure everybody else in the 430 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 3: league is starting to figure out what it is. 431 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 2: That I'd like to do. 432 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,880 Speaker 3: So I think just having those tools and my tool 433 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 3: kit to help me switch things up. 434 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: And Selphy, you said that you know you're still earning 435 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,360 Speaker 1: your stripe, So what are you doing weekend and week 436 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:04,920 Speaker 1: out to improve I just. 437 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 6: Am a very technical person, so I usually have like 438 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 6: one to four things maybe depending on what Wade is 439 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 6: that I just like really try to focus on and 440 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,640 Speaker 6: hone in on. So just kind of trying to take 441 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 6: steps to get to where other people are around me. 442 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 6: So yeah, I'm just trying to focus on more of 443 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 6: like little things that maybe like Haley has had down 444 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 6: Pop for like years now, exaing with Tori and Srina's young, 445 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 6: but she's really good and just things that she's learned. 446 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,160 Speaker 2: Just learning off of them too. Something on man trying 447 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 2: to do now. 448 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 1: Also at the time of this recording, so salt Lake 449 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:43,719 Speaker 1: is second in points, kills, blocks and assists, third and 450 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: aces and in most of those categories, Atlanta stands at 451 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,639 Speaker 1: the top of them. I know you said there's not 452 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: really rivalries, but pardon me's kind of thinking Atlanta as 453 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,199 Speaker 1: someone that you guys want to knock off. Also, they 454 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 1: are first in the league at this time. But you know, 455 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 1: there's still a few weeks, as we've said, in the season, 456 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 1: So what does your team need to do as a 457 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,719 Speaker 1: whole to get past Houston who's now in second, and 458 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: Atlanta who's still leading at the top. 459 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,920 Speaker 3: Honestly, I think, like we said, just kind of taking 460 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:12,679 Speaker 3: a day in and day out, focusing one day at 461 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 3: a time. I'm not really sure if we win out 462 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 3: our games, if it's even possible to get to first place. 463 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 3: But I mean right now, we don't really want to 464 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 3: peak right now. We kind of want to wait. I mean, 465 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 3: keep getting better as season goes on, but it all 466 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 3: matters at the end of the season tournament. So I 467 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 3: think that as we continue to take advantage of each 468 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,440 Speaker 3: day and each our cotinue that we get. 469 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 2: I think that it'll help us prepare to get to 470 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:36,479 Speaker 2: where we're going to be at the end of the season. 471 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 1: Now, you guys get to play in Salt Lake in 472 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: week eleven, and then the last week of the regular 473 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 1: season you have Weekend of Love in Salt Lake.
