Jess hitting .270 (16-6-36) Cam hitting .167 (8-5-18) Caroline hitting .909!! (10-0-11) Taylor hitting .500 (6-1-10) Maggie hitting .154 (4-2-13)
Gill with 8 digs, Ava and Jess with 6 each, and Izzy with 4 digs. Izzy with 2 aces.
Not a classic match, but nice to see Caroline go off along with Taylor.
PSU has been able to survive with their OH's don't have a good night or when others hitters have off nights.
Nice to have Izzy as the passing wasn't the greatest today. She can improve just about any pass that she gets. She's fun to watch, along with Ava, Jess, Gill et all!!

I think that SJ just ran out of gas in the 3rd set.

Guys (announcers) there's a game going on. OK, I'm taking that as permission to critique the broadcast with my list of Three Snarks and We're Out!
Snark #1: At one point, the play-by-play announcer said "Izzy Starck, the #1rated recruit, sitting-in at 6 feet 1 inch." I want that chair checked! Snark #2: What was with the stat keepers? After Set 1, they credited St. Johns with 27 kills in the set. And after Set 2, they credited Penn State with 33 kills in the set. I want that chair checked! Snark #3: During Set 3, the analyst observed that she wouldn't want to dive on the Rec Hall court. "That looks painful" she said. And . . . . we're out!

Not to pile on the young announcers, but TALK LESS! MUCH MUCH LESS!! This is especially true because you don't have enough knowledge of the game.
This is an annual complaint of mine about PSU home broadcasters. Assuming that these are students in media, one would think that their instructors could do a better job!

I think that the young woman is the same one that did a lot of the matches last year. Maybe the guy is the same as last year also. I think that they have two problems (at least two ).:
1) They think they know more than they do. 2) They fall into the same trap that many much more experienced announcers do; They end up burying you in so much background detail that it takes away form the acdtual game.
I've only thought about their teachers from the viewpoint of education re: volleyball. But you're right. Does anybody give them a clue about what a good play-by-play or what a good color analyst is?
One could say that they need to get the experiece. Maybe so. But what good is the experience without any idea of how they should do their job?

Guys (announcers) there's a game going on. ... Snark #2: What was with the stat keepers? After Set 1, they credited St. Johns with 27 kills in the set. And after Set 2, they credited Penn State with 33 kills in the set. I want that chair checked! .... I think that the whole crew is students. I've seen times when the person handling the score was wrong a LOT. When doing the comments during the came, I use the scores to double ck my scores; I was so screwed up that match. Early on in this match I was getting sea sick with the way the camera was being waved around. (:
I so envy schools that use actual volleyball players/experienced announcers. Oh well.
