Ladyjacks drop a five-setter to UIW. Two even teams in a match that could have gone either way. But this was not a fluke loss. UIW was very good.
The first set was the worst set I have seen us play all season, and it's not even close. Serious lack of communication and execution. Some better in the second set. We played much better in the third and fourth sets as the short bench of UIW started to catch up to them. Then we suddenly could not pass in the fifth. We battled, but couldn't overcome the poor start.
Ilana was a huge spark off the bench, even after injuring her knee. She played the last three sets almost on one leg. She is still dealing with a left hand issue. Ty has participated in pre game warm-ups the last two games.
This was a bad home loss. The good news is that we are still tied for first. Two must win road games up next at a middle of the pack ETAMU, and a terrible NSU.
