McKenna Miller looked good. If she wasn’t wearing a brace, you’d never think she was coming off an injury.

Taylen Ballard-Nixon looked much better than last year. She seems to have regained her confidence.

Heather Gneiting only played in the first set. She may have tweaked her ankle. Whatever she hurt, it didn’t look serious.

Abbey Dayton was the biggest surprise for me. She gives off a positive vibe, and doesn’t look like a freshman.

I wish I knew volleyball better. I couldn’t tell which setter looked better—Kiani Moea’i or Whitney Bower.
