Wazzu is playing pretty tough at Utah. Let's hope that goes 5.

:woot::woot::woot: That's one "woot" for each set the Buffs won tonight. That was a fantastic match to watch. After Washington dominated in set 3, I had flashbacks of the 5 set loss to Stanford a few weeks ago after the Buffs rolled through sets 1 and 2 against the Card. But the fight in this team tonight was terrific. They grabbed the lead in set 5 and kept fighting. One interesting thing ... the final scene in the video they play right before the Buffs starters are introduced shows the team mob scene when the Buffs knocked off the Huskies last season. Now they have another mob scene that they can show. Joslyn Hayes, who has been out injured for much of the season, was the most excited player in the huddle after the final kill.
Congrats to these talented ladies! Great win
:woot:
All in all, very thankful the WSU match is Sunday, especially for T. Simpson. What an incredible performance, but after 67 kill attempts and everything else she did (29 kills, led team with 22 digs), she (and ALL the Buffs who took it to the limit) must be exhausted (albeit I trust a euphoric exhaustion).
Per the cubuffs.com article, multiple personal bests for various Buffs:
- T. Simpson's 29 kills and 22 digs both tied her career bests.
- A. Pfefferle led the team in blocks with 11, a career best.
- N. Ortiz Ruiz also set her block mark at 8, and her many blocks late were probably a/ the key to the set 5 result.
- N. Edelman set her dig mark at 19.
Also, looks like there are multiple videos available at http://www.cubuffs.com/mediaPortal/...ID=256&DB_LANG=C&DB_OEM_ID=600&&db_oem_id=600 , namely:
1) Pac 12 network recap,
2) Press conference (with Coach Kritza, T. Simpson and N. Ortiz Ruiz),
3) Match highlights and
4) Match point replay

Thanks for the info and links ... rep. :thumbsup:
I think I have a harder time watching a close Buffs VB match than I do even a Buffs football or basketball game (guess we'll see about the latter tomorrow). Maybe it's the speed of the game, i.e., how fast the ball moves, and/or the fact that I played the game (at a very amateur municipal league level, but I didn't suck) and I know the kind of instantaneous reactions it takes. In short, I was suffering down the stretch of the 5th set tonight. Ecstatic that they pulled it out!
