This is a young team, even some of the upperclassmen have limited experience. I believe Kinney, Gilk and Acevedo will develop into strong OH as they get more experience. Remember we’re talking about 2 freshman and a sophomore.
I noticed Gilk didn’t play against Lipscomb and Crowl played the third set. I think Cook is holding a competition for the right side with Gilk, Kinney and Crowl. I will admit that I was a supporter of Crowl over the years but I have to agree that I don’t think she has the killer instinct needed...
I think Gilk will be the opposite going forward. More efficient and better power than Crowl. More concerned about Z’s injury. Could be a big blow to the team’s aspirations this year if the injury is serious.
That doesn’t surprise me. She hardly saw any action and she struggled during most of her outings. Did Richardson re-injured herself after her brief appearances?
