Last weekend's sweep at the hands of Bowling Green and Miami hit the Bobcats hard.
So hard that, according to junior outside hitter Ellen Herman, the team had to sit down together and analyze who they were as a team.
After a week of intense, detail-oriented practices, the Toledo native said that Ohio is back on track. The Bobcats' first Mid-American Conference road win is the first priority.
Coming off of last weekend
we kind of had to readjust and evaluate ourselves Herman said. We started at the beginning ' where we came from where this program was in the past and where it is now.
The main aspect is sticking to our game plan and knowing our hitters and their strengths, and if we listen to our coaches and what they have to say, we'll succeed from there.
Ohio (9-6
2-2 MAC) will look to continue its recent dominance of the Golden Flashes. Kent State hasn't beaten the Bobcats since 2002 ' 11 straight matches. The all-time series currently stands at 33-22 in favor of the Bobcats.
Coach Ryan Theis was displeased with his team's communication and effort in Sunday's three-set loss to Miami
and stressed energy points in practice this week. The Bobcats gave Bowling Green and the RedHawks too many points coming out of timeouts
mainly due to errors.
Kent's offense is extremely fast and versatile, Theis said. They go into every zone to attack balls, and they're coming at you as quick as possible.
If we serve well
that's going to give them problems. On our end
competitiveness
aggressiveness and execution are what we're working the most on and that will give us a chance to win.
