Rotation Wrapup

For the last 16 matches and 55 sets of the season Coach Rose has stuck with a consistent pattern of rotation. The rotations appear to be well balanced with the highest point-winning percentage at 62.3% and the lowest at 54.6% with an overall team point-winning percentage at 58.3%. Here are some of the data relating to those rotations for those 16 matches (6 at home and 10 away).

This rotation was the strongest with Ali Frantti serving most of the time and Brianna Weiskercher and Kendall White in the back row. The front row usually consists of Simone Lee, Haleigh Washington, and Abby Detering. They had a team-best overall point-winning percentage of 62.3%. They also led the team winning 56.4 % of served points and were second siding-out at 72.1% on defense. [played 438 points]

This rotation was the second strongest rotation and the one that led off 29 of the 55 sets. The server is Kendall White. Her back row teammates are usually Simone Lee and Abby Detering.
