We're beginning to see some patterns now, though there's still some inconsistency. In the Santa Clara match we seemed to play 5-1, and it didn't do much good. Santa Clara's good, ranked very high nationally. Schlatter and Rosendale seemed to be off their game, but that's allowed, seeing as how Schlatter has been mostly splendid (a redshirt freshman, no less!) and Rosendale as a sophomore has slid into the lineup very effectively after not playing much at all last year. San Jose was frustrating. They're not very good. Rosendale, Schlatter and especially Hamilton did well, but we had trouble putting SJS away; we were up by seven or eight, but almost lost set 4, and in set 5 we were up 14 to 10 and still let it get away. That last run is crucial; we've got to work on it. Freshman Olden came in and actually did quite well. On the whole we did well for pre-conference. Still way too many errors, but that will iron out by conference time. Phillips, for all her kills, grabs a depressing number of errors.
