I'm good coming. We're coming from my trip 0:00:30.040 --> 0:00:32.640 to Nebraska, coming off of a win. Obviously it's on 0:00:32.680 --> 0:00:34.360 a big high, but so far, I'm good. 0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:36.520 Yeah, you guys took down Go Lia. 0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:41.879 I know what this is. It was great. It was 0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:44.559 a great feeling for sure. Oh well, we're gonna get 0:00:44.600 --> 0:00:44.800 to that. 0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:46.360 That's gonna be the last game we talked about, since 0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:48.279 it was the last game of Week three. But let's 0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:51.200 start with Wednesday's game because this was another exciting slate 0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:54.440 of games this entire weekend, showcasing the parody in this league. 0:00:54.600 --> 0:00:57.920 So Wednesday, Love Houston versus Love Salt Lake. It was 0:00:57.960 --> 0:01:00.920 Salt Lake's first serve and after using the first set, 0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:03.160 they managed to come back and win the following three 0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:07.039 to take their home opener twenty two, twenty five, twenty five, fifteen, 0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:10.960 twenty six, twenty four, twenty five nineteen. So what adjustments 0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:13.240 did you see Salt Lake make after that first set 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:14.119 to take home the win? 0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:15.920 You know, I think the season so far, we haven't 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:17.959 had a chance to see Scalar Fields out there, so 0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:19.800 herb being out there I think during a match definitely 0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:20.480 made a difference. 0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:23.440 Skyler was pourcy record with for sure. 0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:25.560 Yeah, well let's talk about her because she ended up 0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:28.440 getting Player of the game. She had seventeen kills on 0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:31.280 a three eighty five hitting percentage plus seven digs. 0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:31.640 In one block. 0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:34.800 Fields was absolutely flying when you watch her, I mean 0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:37.280 from the back row, she's so high crushing it. From 0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:40.920 the front row she's crushing it. She just seems unstoppable. Now, 0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:43.479 you know Skyler talk about her work ethic and how 0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:45.319 she's just able to absolutely crush it. 0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:47.240 You know, I've known Skylar since she was in high school, 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:49.800 and obviously she was a heavy recruited athlete, especially going 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:52.520 to Texas her first thing. She was their first two years, 0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:55.840 I think before transferring to USC and everyone says that. 0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:57.600 We look alike, you know, so I see it. She's 0:01:57.640 --> 0:01:59.080 like my little sister. I definitely see it. 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:01.440 But being able to her from high school to college 0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:03.840 and just performing and being a great athlete going abroad 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:05.640 she had Little Ston in Italy and came back and 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:07.760 as well as PVF and seeing her out this week 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:08.920 this past weekend was amazing. 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:09.840 She really did her thing. 0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:13.280 What is it about Skyler's ability on the court to 0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:15.920 get so many kills, to find that empty space on 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:16.360 the court. 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:19.000 I think Skylar's out of diversity. She can play outside 0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:21.640 as well, was opposite. She's long, she's athletic. I think 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:23.800 she reads really well as well as from the back court. 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:26.600 Just being super athletic and using her you know, her 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:28.680 body and get up to make high swings, I think 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:30.680 she makes her a great athlete, especially her volleyball. 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:32.880 I just want to give a shout out also as 0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:35.519 a honorary player of the game to Danny Druz, who 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:41.399 is Yeah, she's from Sandy She's from Sandy Youthaw, which 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:42.960 is not too far from Salt Lake, so she's kind 0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:45.280 of like home down here in that regard to and 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:48.640 she she had thirteen kills, three aces, four blocks and 0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:53.400 eight digs. Danny was also amazing to watching. 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:56.240 I love Jenny sound smiling. 0:02:56.639 --> 0:02:57.680 Well, why do you love her so much? 0:02:57.720 --> 0:02:58.000 Tell me what? 0:02:58.200 --> 0:02:58.280 Well? 0:02:58.360 --> 0:02:59.960 So I had an opportunity to play with Danny and 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:02.160 against Dana Ada in the AU season this year, and 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:05.320 she is just a beautiful lie, honestly, just such a 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:08.600 ray of sunshine. And honestly, Danny would never have a 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:10.080 bad day. But I was having a bad day. But 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:11.440 I go find her and look at her, and just 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:14.440 she just this bright, beautiful smile, her golden brown eyes 0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:16.040 like all such in a great mood. So she's a 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:18.320 great athlete. Playing with her was always so much fun, 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:21.600 positive energy kind of player.

Now 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:48.680 your girl Germany opposite Kimberly Drevniak was nan player of 0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:52.160 the game after fourteen kills with the two ninety seven 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:56.160 hitting percentage, three blocks and five digs. You gave her 0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:58.520 a shout out last week when she had nineteen kills 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:00.960 against Madison. What does she doing that is just so 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:03.200 consistent for her to be a force for Omaha. 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:05.480 Kimberly is just such a unique hitter. 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:07.200 You know, she has this great swing, a left arm 0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:10.000 hitter as well, and she has just so much range. Again, 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:12.280 her positive outcome and her positive attitude in the core 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:15.280 is also a huge like ray of sunshine. 0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:19.120 She's just such a phenomenal black ball player. She's amazing, amazing. 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:21.920 Were there any other players from that match or anything 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:24.600 specific when it comes to the game plan that you 0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:25.720 saw that really stood out. 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:27.839 I'm also going your shout of Justine having a great 0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:31.320 liberro is honestly a cheat code like Justine is just 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:32.160 absolutely amazing. 0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:32.359 You know. 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:34.560 I admired her as Wilson's playing Nebraska, and I think 0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:36.360 having some light down here on your end you feel 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:38.200 come for as attack that to swing hard and swing 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:39.440 hide and if you get blocked. 0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:40.880 You're gonna know the justin' gonna meet their digging. 0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:42.000 Those ball so that it was a great recovery and 0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:43.880 a great person having a team, So justin big. 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:54.479 Shout out love it. 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:02.440 Moving to Saturday doubleheader, we start with Love Atlanta versus 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:06.000 Love Madison, a tough match that went to five sets, 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:10.240 with Atlanta ultimately prevailing twenty five, twenty one, eighteen, twenty five, 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:14.440 twenty five, seventeen, twenty twenty five, fifteen ten. It was 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:17.159 a back and forth match that even Atlanta head coach 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:20.839 Paulo Cocoa acknowledge, saying, you know, we played very well, 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:23.880 sometimes we played very bad. Sometimes we were trying to 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:27.680 get more stable. So what did Atlanta do to ultimately 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:28.479 pull out that win? 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:31.160 I think again, Panoy, I think she's also was player 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:33.320 of the match. She had a snout of performance. She 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:35.080 was everywhere again, she was taking a lot of balls, 0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:37.920 had a great passing reception for her. And I think 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:39.800 also Tess always makes her mark when she comes in 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:41.359 as well, and you know they're going to run an 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:43.320 offense with everyone. So I think it was just a 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:45.359 whole round like team kind of win for sure. 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:49.599 Let's talk about a pianet Panoy del Libero for Atlanta. 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:52.360 You know, she's thirty five, which I'm going to say, 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:56.080 I'm I'm a little older than her, and she's making 0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:58.080 me want to go in. She's making me say, like, 0:05:58.120 --> 0:05:58.840 can I play pro? 0:05:59.240 --> 0:05:59.360 Right? 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:02.080 That's a secret sauce have that much experience and being 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:03.800 at the age she is, she has played a lot 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:05.480 of volleyball and she can see the floor really well, 0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:07.800 so it's definitely a secret weapon to be where she 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:08.760 is in her career right now. 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:11.880 Yeah, and to be that athletic and spry. I feel like, 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:13.840 we mean, you got to be that low when the 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:18.719 girls are hitting insane speeds, you know. I mean she's 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:21.800 phenomenal and she was everywhere on the court too. So 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:24.800 I mean, you mentioned Justine in the last game, how 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:26.640 great it is have a good libero. You got Pannoy 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:31.360 in this match too. But when you're on offense hitting 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:34.800 at that libero, what's kind of going through your mind 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:35.840 to try to find the holes? 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:37.600 If you can find the holes? Yeah, the biggest thing 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:39.159 you think about is first obviously as the block. 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:41.960 But obviously when you're a strong attacker, you're competent in 0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:44.279 your arm swing and you're very consistent. The next problem 0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:46.160 is obviously Liberro. So you know, honestly, you want to 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:47.640 kind of move them around a little bit. You can 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:49.200 post some tips in every now and then and kind 0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:51.160 of catch them all balance like that kind of hope 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:53.120 she work out, But justin picks up everything, pulling on 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:55.040 our picks up everything all Libert's pick up everything. The 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:56.600 Baro's in these lake and this lake is really good. 0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:58.200 So it's just difficult. It's definitely difficult. 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:02.360 In the last match of the weekend, your team Love 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:06.800 Austin taking down undefeated love Omaha in their house. 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:09.680 Sorry, not too much. 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:16.200 You won twenty five, twenty three, twenty five, twenty twenty five, fifteen, 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:17.920 So tell me about that match. What did your team 0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:19.520 do that no other team has been able to do 0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:19.920 so far? 0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:24.119 Preparation honestly, Like, you know, it's different when you're watching 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:26.120 video and film and you know you're in a room 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:27.600 and trying to dicuss ideas what you can do, but 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:29.360 it kind of just turns up a little bit different. 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:30.600 I think when you're on the court, you know, things 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:32.720 change and I love that, like we're able to adjust 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:35.280 very quickly, and you know, starting the match, they had 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:37.800 another Outsie Comen the normal a girl that never normally 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:39.800 wouldn't play and we adjusted very well. 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:40.800 So I think blocking. 0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:44.240 Texas volleyball was known for blocking, I think all across 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:46.440 the country, and we have a lot of Texas players 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:48.760 and blocking is what we do for sure, so blocking 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:49.360 definitely was. 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:50.040 It was lights out. 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:53.840 Now recent Texas alum opposite Mattie Skinner was named Player 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:57.280 of the game. She had ten kills or fifty attack percentage, 0:07:57.360 --> 0:08:00.800 two blocks. So what's Maddy like? What does she bring 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:02.560 to the court? Coming straight from college? 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:05.520 You know, I admire her because she's coming shit from 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:08.000 college and then coming into this environment, this atmosphere as well. 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:09.800 It's like playing a position she hasn't played in a while, 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:12.400 and so her maturity is outstanding, coming in every day, 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:14.600 working hard and asking questions and just trying to get better. 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:16.680 So Player of the Match is definitely deserving for shit. 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:19.480 Being on the team, you have a nice little insights 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:21.960 to the team, the players and everything going on. So 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:25.480 can you talk about anyone else who you were playing 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:28.800 with in that match that really stood out as a leader. 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:31.800 As great as Maddie was, I think Chiaka was just 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:32.719 as great as well. 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:35.160 Chiaka is such a great leader. 0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:36.880 I know before the match she actually kind of like 0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:38.480 set us down and was like, hey, okay, you know what, 0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:40.040 let's all give them the same page. 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:42.840 Does anyone have any questions? It's clarifying things for people. 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:44.240 Let's kind of like make sure we're all together and 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:47.160 once we get out there, and just from the start 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:48.640 of the game and going out and performing the way 0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:49.080 she did. 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:51.200 Was amazing, you know. So it was a great night. 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:53.360 We had some laughs, you know, Mollie hit On in 0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:54.760 the back of the head with a serve and I 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:57.160 was losing it on the bench about that. But it 0:08:57.200 --> 0:08:59.240 was a great night. The vibes were high, energy was high. 0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:02.280 Marco was all so like, very intense and join the match. 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:04.400 All across the board, everyone was really prepared to go. 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:04.960 All right. 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:07.240 Well, now that there are no more undefeated teams in 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:09.160 League One, and you know, as I said at the start, 0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:12.559 there is so much parody, the matches are even more 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:16.560 exciting to watch as the season progresses. Oh yes, so tough, 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:20.160 but so fun to watch. So let's look ahead to 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:23.440 week four. Which match are you looking forward to watching 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:24.439 week four? 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:25.600 So who do we have up this week? 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:29.640 So we got Houston versus Madison. Yes, Salt Lake versus 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:33.640 Atlanta on Friday, you guys, versus Salt Lake on Saturday, 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:36.280 and then Omaha versus Atlanta Saturday nights. 0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:38.680 So I'm gonna say as versus Salt Lake just because 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:41.480 we're two matchups that haven't been seen yet. You know, 0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:43.680 some of my also my friends Tory Dixon are playing 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:45.560 on that team is also a great metal blocker, and 0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:47.760 I think we match up pretty well versus Lake. 0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:49.240 So I'm excited to see that match for sure. 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:51.480 You know, I think I'm gonna have to give a 0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:54.800 little shout out to Omaha Atlanta on that Saturday too, 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:56.920 so make sure you stick around and watch that one, 0:09:57.120 --> 0:10:00.839 just because they're fun to watch. But if you look 0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:04.280 at their stats, Omaha and Atlanta are the top two 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:06.959 teams in kill percentage with Atlanta being one, in kill 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:10.800 efficiency with Omaha being one, but then on defense the 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:15.040 pass efficiency and good past percentage, Atlanta's number one and 0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:17.760 also I mean Omaha's number two. So it's like you 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:21.719 got the best kill percentage, kill efficiency, the best pass efficiency, 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:23.880 good past percentage going head to ahead. 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:25.679 Just mean it's gonna be a lot of big kills 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:27.400 and a lot of big blocks, So that's for sure. 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:28.880 Up, that's going to be exciting. 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:32.120 Well, that is it for this week.
