Another slow start for Rice. 4-8

Neither team playing particularly well. 17-17.

Lennon with only one kill.

Rice with 4 service errors. 18-19

Service errors continue to kill us. 4 already and we're only half way through first set. No improvement whatsoever.

SC clearly double teaming Nicole, who's struggling early. Beckelmeyer has finally stepped up. She needs to keep it up.

Rice 22-20.

23-23

23-23 SC with 4 aces against us already. Service game is truly a liability for us.

LaBue just not doing her job. She can't handle the serve (key part of liberos game).

Kostelecky attack error. 23-24
Lennon kill. 24-24

SC appears to be challenging.

And another service error. 24-25

24-25 yet another service error.

And then an attack error by Adekunle. Sigh. 24-26

24-26. Blew another set with service errors at the end. If our liberos can't serve or receive serves, what's the point? I said preseason this was our weakness, and we appear to have no improved one inkling. Gabby Mansfield can't get here soon enough.

Rice outhit South Carolina, .243-.194 but had too many errors.

Need to find a way to get Lennon in this.

5 service errors, 7 attack errors and 3 other receiving errors is not going to cut it in any set against anyone.

2-3 Service errror #6. Unacceptable.

6-5 Service error #7. Should Genny have a practice simply devoted to serving?

I would be okay with some service errors if they were strong and aggressive. But these errors are simple floaters and not even close to keeping it in or making it cross the net.
