“We saw some improvement again this afternoon, which is always good,” Ole Miss head coach Joe Getzin said. “We’re starting to hit our offensive rhythm a little bit.”
SATURDAY: OLE MISS 3, HOUSTON 0
FORT WORTH, Texas – For the third consecutive match the Ole Miss volleyball team (7-2) used high intensity and an efficient attack to earn another impressive victory. The Rebels used a balanced attack to dismantle Houston 3-0 (25-13, 25-12, 25-13) at the TCU Nike/Molten Invitational in Fort Worth, Texas, on Saturday afternoon, and moved to 3-0 on the weekend.
“We executed the game plan,” Ole Miss head coach Joe Getzin said. “We did really well with serving and passing, and when we do that our offensive system is clicking.”
SATURDAY: TCU 3, OLE MISS 2
FORT WORTH, Texas – Four different Ole Miss Rebels reached double figure kill totals Saturday evening at TCU, but the Ole Miss volleyball team (7-3) fell 3-2 (22-25, 25-15, 25-20, 16-25, 9-15) to the Horned Frogs in front of a raucous environment at the Unversity Rec. Center in Fort Worth, Texas.
“We really competed hard,” Ole Miss head coach Joe Getzin said. “I was really pleased with our performance. We fell a little bit in set four, couldn’t stop one of their players and we lost a little bit of confidence. There are a couple things we can correct moving forward, but overall for the day I thought we had a good performance.”
