CU was without their starting setter Friday night - the first match she has missed after starting the prior 66 matches. Concussion from a ball to the head.Fifteen of the 16 teams were the hosting teams. The only top 16 seed to lose was Creighton- and they lost in the first round.
Too bad 4 of the 5 B1G teams play each other in the next round.

It's almost like not having a backup QB ready to play in case your starter got hurt. Who ever heard of such a thing?Crayton has a junior setter from Grand Island Central Catholic on the roster, didn't play in the Auburn match, noting she only played in 8 sets all season so not a big contributor on the team. At the press conference Coach Booth said their best option for a setter in their last match was a player listed as hitter/setter, noting she hadn't truly played as a setter for "awhile". I laugh at the "coulda - woulda - shoulda" excuses about missing a player during a contest and the final result. You build a roster and that's what you have available for the season and post-season.
