[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 1047647, member: 7261"] Gritty win by the Badgers last night against UCLA. Both Liberos out, with Gulce either sick or injured (they didn't say) and Lola getting hit in the head with a ball in warmups. Enter Saige Damrow and Maile Chan, with a little Carly Anderson sprinkled in for good measure. That first set loss by the Badgers had me thinking that this might be one of those nights that with all the changes, the team would checkout early and chalk up road loss. Damrow and Chan both looked way over their heads and the starters looked tired and out of sync. I even questioned why Kelly didn't move Julia to Libero, a position she played most of last season. I think had this been a tournament game or against a better opponent, he may have. He saw this as a teaching moment and an opportunity to get other players playing time. Turns out Kelly knew what he was doing and Damrow finally got into her groove. She wasn't outstanding, but the playing time could go a long way for the team, if she is needed down the road. Set aside all the service errors, which I still say is the Badgers Achilles heal and they were able to turn on the jets and coast after a scary start to the match. Charlie, Franklin and Smrek are absolutely studs and carrying this team. Orzol and Booth have their moments, but I am just so impressed by the top 3. I will say it again, Charlie's game gets better and better with every game, I think she could put up a perfect set from the damn parking lot! [/QUOTE]
