For four volleyball matches, Wichita State showed little productivity scoring behind the setter. That changed in Saturday’s sweep of Marquette in what coach Chris Lamb sees as a crucial development.
“We did it more, and we did do it better,” he said. “As that goes, perhaps so go the Shockers.”
WSU (3-2) plays at Colorado State (4-2) at 8 p.m. Thursday to open the Rams Volleyball Classic. On Saturday, WSU plays No. 3 Texas (5-1) before ending the trip against Samford (5-2) on Sunday in a match not affiliated with the classic.
The challenge to scoring on those over-the-head flips are many — setter Emily Hiebert is often setting blind and the pass needs to come in smoothly to get the timing right.
