Wichita State played tremendous defense over the weekend, the main reason why the Shockers opened the season with a 3-0 record and three quality RPI victories.
“We have a lot of new people passing, we have players playing new jobs for the first time, there’s just a lot going on for us right now,” WSU volleyball coach Chris Lamb said. “Defense has basically been the one constant for us through the whole thing.”
Against three 2017 NCAA Tournament teams, WSU’s defense maintained a .207 opponent hitting percentage and limited opponents to 11.1 kills per set.
These numbers are even more impressive considering WSU’s defense is accomplishing all of this essentially without a block.
