Volleyball dominated sets 1 and 2 against GaSo tonight, then dropped it in a reverse sweep by the Eagles. It was a winnable match that I really hated seeing them lose.

On to the next one - GaSo again tomorrow @ 6pm.
They beat themselves with service errors. Team looked great until the errors kicked in late in the 3rd set. Should have been a sweep for App. MeMe Davis was phenomenal with the digs.

Tough loss.
- We need to stick with the 5-1 with AH. We play so much better and the hitters are more successful with her. I don’t know what his obsession with MC is (other than she’s tall) but she clearly can’t play at this level.
- Serving is a concern. 15 missed serves and they all seemed to happen at the worst times when we had momentum.
- Davis is unreal. That’s been the only player that came with this staff that truly belongs in the SunBelt.
- Hutchens had the hot hand again, but GS coaching staff had those kids ready for her at the end of set 5. I wish our coaching staff would have wanted to go to someone else to give a different wrinkle.
- There are no excuses to blow the lead like that at the end of set 5. That falls on everyone, players & coaches.
- Need to win this 2nd match.

App just killing themselves with errors again today at GaSo. Currently down 2-1 going into the 4th set. 3rd was lost 25-15.

App took off early in the 4th set but ultimately GaSo takes the match 3-1 and sweeps the weekend.

Side note, somehow GaSo can put on an ACC Network quality ESPN+ production one day and the next day barely get the booth audio on the air. Yesterday they had a NCAA VB focused ticker, their own promo graphics in the lower right, and a sideline reporter.

Amazingly, the Women’s sport that may have the most successful Fall is the golf team.

I have been very disappointed with this coaching staff. I don’t know how it all went down, but no way he was the most qualified candidate.

And somehow a very promising season is floundering with a strong chance of foundering.

Doug actually looked at Chad Sutton before Sarah Rumely-Noble was hired, but at the time he didn’t have enough experience and Sarah was hired. When she left, Doug called him again. This time he had a record of success at Mercer. I may be wrong but I think he’s going to work out long term.

I disagree with this. Even before Sarah was hired, the other candidates were not Chad and I know that for a fact. I hope it will work out, but we shall see.

Disagree all you want - this info came from Doug Gillin himself. I don’t know that Chad was a *candidate* specifically for the job after Matt Ginipro left but he was already on Doug’s radar.

Coastal sweeps the weekend.

We aren’t just playing an opponent, we’re also playing ourselves. App has got to get the errors under control.

It would have been middle school if the pun had involved penis or boobs of 60065 or something. Your pun was mature and intelligent.
