And two

What a weird season this has been.

I thought Florida State would make a better showing than they did. Kidder's a cut above Iowa State's hitters, but I really don't know where their ball control went. Jitters? Regardless, that one was ugly.

When did Ward step up her game so much? She's become a top-notch offensive player if the Illini's last two matches are any indication. She and Bartsch make for a tough combo. And kudos to Luhrsen for a really well-played match.

USC was fortunate to win g4, imo -- and it was a credit to Jupiter scoring from the back row. But the match still came down to this: USC needed Jupiter to beat McMahon and she couldn't. They were back in that rotation for g5 and Alex was slowed down again. They needed more than Alex and Williams, but they *really* needed Alex to score again McMahon, letting the other hitters deal with the smaller block.

I liked what Haley tried to do, but, ultimately, that was the difference.
