No Adenkule. Much better defense from the back row but down 7-9.

Ellie off to a horrendous start-- 4 attack errors in 9 attempts (with only one kill) and a service error. Need to clean it up, and quickly.

Rice down 14 - 17.

Announcer did confirm Adekunle is out due to COVID tracing.

17-21 Rice timeout.

Way too many errors-- 6 attack errors, 2 service errors.

Rice on a 4-0 run to take a 24-23 lead, but now tied up at 25-25.

Rice takes the first set 27-25!

Nicole's 5th kill for the win 27-25. Courtley had her best set of her young career-- 5 kills (vs. only 1 error) and 3 blocks.

Strong comeback.

SMU was picked to take the West in the AAC.

Rice loses the 2nd, 20-25.

Much better 3rd, up 13-7.

Rice takes the 3rd, 25-14!

Down 15-20 in the 4th.

Wow I was looking up SMU's roster and I see that Lisa Seifert is still their coach. She's been around forever. I thought she might have actually been their coach when they were still in the SWC, but no she missed it by 1 year as her first year at SMU as a head coach was 1996 (when Rice and SMU and others joined the WAC).

That got me to thinking, I wonder if any head coach who coached a team in the SWC is still coaching anywhere? Kim Helton is still coaching but as an offensive assistant for his son at Western Kentucky. I guess I'm asking if anyone is still a head coach somewhere.

I'm sure there are some in various Olympic sports, but I bet you no for football or basketball (or maybe even baseball).

18-25 in the 4th. Heading to a 5rh set.

Volpe was her assistant at one point.

5th: 2-6

3-9

Rice gets destroyed in the 5th, 5-15.

It is going to be a VERY long season if we don't find a way to cleanup the service game. 14 service errors to only 3 aces is not going to win you many matches.
