of and it's our point is just went out of bounds underway in the first game of the [Music] season they Comfort the stages come on well team and said we are the motivated team in the country motivated Nebraska who wi lead by three the center for Kentucky is so good pushing that pace out to the left and Aaron lamb able to sneak that one through [Music] the here is Tima back to serve Nebraska a for Nebraska that's just a head up play by Harper Murray she recognizes that youve got a middle blocker back to ser midle blockers sometimes are not the greatest of Defenders I think that's fair to say She lays a tip right in front of Bala out of her reach just a really nice job of recognizing who's in the back row at a given time by Harper Murray can I borrow your phone this is when your middle block of Friends start texting you say it'll happen yes it'll happen do not insult us time and again I think there's a trend that middle blockers are taking more pride in their serve and their defense these days way higher level try to be more complete players yeah they're usually so tall them you know it's hard to get down but usually they're good servers High contact as O'Neal for Texas last year came up with some big but the single blord didn't play last but cig skner loves how she handles the big stage on an island you know what you're going to get from Meritt be coming up the middle out of

we go that was a great dig by at gr push that again to the left ands through the block here's Gro with the serve three time ABCA allame but a service a point for Nebraska and I think what gr does such
