    Bre Kelli is a force for Pitt. We lost a good one when she left.
    She followed her football boyfriend, but I don't like it.
    She is only listed as a sophomore, which is surprising.

    Since you are both a volleyball supefan and softball superfan, how did you resolve the scheduling conflicts this year? There were more conflicts with Fall ball than I have ever seen in the past.

    I will answer for me and Sandman.

    First of all, we do not have a schedule. We generally choose the regular season over practice/exhibition.
    But because of replay, the practice can be watched live, and then watch the replay.

    Kennedy Martin and Alexis Stucky will remain Gators. Maybe some other great players besides the ones currently on the team will join them.
    Mary is the GOAT and will get her national championship as a Gator. Gonna be fun.

    Are we going to get to see the real deal from Kyra Hutson again in 2025? I can see Kyra and Lauren sharing left pin with no drop off if Kyra gets her shoulder right.

    That remains to be seen. I know she is still having pain in her shoulder.

    Watching Kira all year on the sideline is worrisome as she has barely used that arm at all. It doesn't get raised above head nor is used for anything like high five, picking up a ball etc.

    UF's Sweet 16 Bracket:

    Gators Set for Regional Semifinal with Stanford - Florida Gators

    Looking at all of the Stanford players listed, they were all with Stanford in the 2023 season when the Gators went to California and swept the Cardinal 3-0. They were stunned by the loss:
    • 2024 Statistical Leaders
      • Kills: Elia Rubin (410)
      • Kills/Set: Elia Rubin (3.94)
      • Assists: Kami Miner (1,153)
      • Assists/Set: Kami Miner (11.09)
      • Aces: Jordan Harvey (40)
      • Aces/Set: Jordan Harvey (0.37)
      • Digs: Elena Oglivie (420)
      • Digs/Set: Elena Oglivie (3.93)
      • Blocks: Sami Francis (162.0)
      • Blocks/Set: Sami Francis (1.56)
      • Points: Elia Rubin (475.0)
    At Stanford was the last match we were blessed to see Kira Hutson perform in.

    To be sure, the Cardinal will be looking for revenge tonight. ESPN 2 will televise the match at 7 PM ET.

    There will be televised matches throughout the afternoon too.

    Kentucky handles Missouri 3-1. The sets won by both teams were not close. 1-0, 2-0 2-1, 3-1, Brooklyn Deleye had 22 kills, Emma Grome 50 assist, and 10 digs.

    The last point for Pitt’s victory looked like there might have been a Pitt touch, but the Duck’s coach had no more challenges, so point and match went to Pitt.
