Denver will be a big match for seeding.  Denver has had a recent resurgence, after a disappointing League start.  They are better than their record (but so are we!)  If you can make a Thursday game, the team will need you to show up!

KC is pretty bad.  Maybe have that game on in the background, as you tailgate....

wow.  As a team they have gotten gradually better all season, and all four of Davis, Mirabelli, Johnson and the Setter Decker have lately been hitting at a very high level.

Mirabelli is going to be a challenge, so I'm glad we just played Schetnan.

Although "per set" stats aren't as good as "per attempt" stats... we are at the halfway point of conference play, so at least everyone has played everyone.  The stats should be pretty fair.


One key matchup: Denver Serve vs USD Recieve

1. Denver is the best serving team in the conference in terms of Aces/set.  They are getting 1.84 Aces/Set (in conference play), lead by:

...............0.50 from OH Ava Reynolds (#2 Summit)
...............0.44 from S Briley Decker (#4 Summit)
...............0.34 from OH Cassie Davis (#12 Summit)

2. USD is the best serve-receive team in the conference in terms of preventing aces.  We are only allowing 1.03 Aces/Set (in conference play).  Here's our main serve-receive crew with conference only stats:

pos	player	Sets Played	Errors	Attempts	Reception%
OH	L Medeck	32	2	130	.985**
DS	A Wolff	32	5	127	.961
DS/L	K Farris	32	4	116	.966
DS	C Hokenstad	26	3	97	.969
OH	K Sealock	30	5	58	.914

96% = Good
97% = Great
98+ = Ninja
