Got to match midway in second set. Mima not playing but dressed without a brace or boot. Bears just looked off and lost 25-23. So hoping for five set win

Rennie is playing points when not serving

Down 14-12 in third. Communication has been an issue.

Go Bears! Set three win 25-23

16-11 buffs lead and Cal calls time. Mayer and Huizenga just not getting past blocks.

Ugh

Also, I don't know why, but Knope, Clarke and Liliamaiva weren't present.

No Gabby Bellizzi too! She had been starting as the libero in place of Emma Smith in the previous 3 or 4 game and doing well. The back row has been struggling and with Nima not available many times they are going with 3 defensive players in the back and with a 5-9 setter too blocking & offensive fire power takes a hit.

Gabby was there. The other three weren't even at the game.
But, yes, often the Bears had three defensive persons - and Forte was getting subbed out in rotation.
Huizenga had a bad game - no matter what her stats say.

Gabby wasn't even in the box score. Is she injured?
