from the preview article:
ORAL ROBERTS
Oral Roberts, fresh off a pair of road sweeps over North Dakota and North Dakota State to begin Summit League play, will be playing its home opener. It was the programs first-ever sweep of the North Dakota road swing. The Golden Eagles, who rank second in Summit League play with a .241 overall hitting percentage, has a balanced offensive attack with five players recording 60 or more kills.
The leaders are Kaia Dunford (2.81), Trinity Freeman (2.69) and Sakira LaCour (2.48). The offensive attack is quarterbacked by Bryanne Soares, who is averaging 11.67 assists per set in league play, and 8.92 assists per set overall. Libero Sarah Thiessen, who recorded her 1,000th career dig earlier this season, averages 4.63 digs per set in all matches.
Freeman (12), LaCour (11) and Jaxie Wakley (10) all reached double figures in kills in the win over North Dakota. Aixa Vigil had 10 kills against North Dakota Stat

Dang. Yotes lose 1-3. I wasn’t able to watch the stream. Anyone have any impressions? ORU has now only lost one set in three conference matches. Crazy.

I didn't watch it either, but the box score shows that ORU hit .469 & .516 the last 2 sets. ORU is a strange place to play with zero atmosphere. Also ORU was playing at home with 5 days since their last match, whereas the Yotes had to travel with only 2 days since their last match and an early 4PM start time.
Time to get rested up for KC on Saturday at 1 PM

Same issues we always have. Periods where we can’t pass.
I watched sets 1-3. I thought we were ok after 2 then it just collapsed.

Kinda goes to show how important Rasmussen was to the success of the 2016-2019 teams. Seems as though reliable passing makes everything and everyone else look better. Jurgens is a great Setter, but if she isn't getting good passes.....

This is a very strange year indeed. What has happened to this team. Basically the same players are back from last year and they appear to be a shell of their former selves. This is very puzzling. The team has had plenty of time now to get straightened out but for whatever reason they are not getting it done.

Wow. What a match! Coyotes win 3-2. Fourth consecutive 5-set match vs the Roos.
Harms is a volleyball terminator robot.

That as incredible! We were down 6-9 with coach Williamson getting a warning for arguing a call. Many teams would have been deflated, but we got fired up, took over, and slammed the door. Go Yotes!

Big win for the Coyotes over the Roos. I think that was a swing match for the rest of the year. Good to beat a tough team on the road. Just keep the energy level up and they will be fine. In Volleyball momentum and energy seem to be very important. Of course talent never hurts either.
