going out and dominating the majority of teams (referring to actual play on the court and not the match record). They've had injuries, and people with only some playing time early on have contributed greatly.

I think part of this success, especially with the injuries they've had this year, is that they're a better digging team than last year. Also, I think that the biggest part of their success may be that Durkin is distributing the ball to all hitters, which is not allowing the opponent's defense to key in to specific players and situations. Blocking has also improved from the beginning of the season, which may be the effect of having Dobbert on the floor regularly.
