The Bobcats were swept 16-25, 18-25 and 14-25. That last set was worse than the score indicates as Pepperdine got out to a 20-5 lead. I don't want to overreact because Pepperdine is highly rated, it's early and I'm told Ohio is young. But that was as non-competitive as I've ever seen Ohio be.  It doesn't get much easier as they face #7 Illinois tomorrow and Dayton on Sunday. BTW, Dayton swept Illinois in the evening match.

Lost 3-1 but scores were close. They face host Dayton today at 1 PM. The Flyers have knocked off Pepperdine and Illinois.

The bad news is they are now 0-3. However, they played 3 nationally ranked teams and gave 2 of them a decent match. Hopefully the experience will be beneficial and there will be a strong learning curve. From the stats, it's going to be a new look with 3 freshmen (Abby Gilleland, Meredith Ashy, and Carley Jones) being key players, along with soph Serena Warner to help bolster last year's returning core players. Things don't get  any easier as No. 13 Kentucky and No. 20 Oregon invade the Convo.  it's Kentucky Friday at 7:00. Hopefully a big turnout.

Far cry from the days it seemed like we were always throwing juniors and seniors out there.

Blocking was much better. Still don't have much of an attack at the net. Setting was all over the place. But they looked much more calm today and a couple of the freshman I thought played well. Dayton returned 11 of 12 players from last year's NCAA squad. Hopefully, that's what Ohio is putting together now.  Follow Ohio Football recruiting on the BobcatAttack.com football recruiting database.
