is the tallest player on the team at 6'4" so will be missed as she was top 3 in Blocks and top 4 in Kills. She was one of three ND players on the ACC All Freshman team. If they win today, hopefully she can be back for tomorrow as Oregon have 6 players 6'3" or taller and ND would be left with only Sammi Lockwood at 6'3" and she has hardly played.

It seems that seldom used freshman Charity McDowell has

Lauren Wenzel became the main replacement and played well. *

This may have been the first match she played all year. Anyone know why she was out all year? Miller was quarantined because of Covid.
She played a few times - had one really good match (Valpo)

And Pittsburgh in the Fall
I think the addition of freshmen Miller and Hamilton and the play of senior Thompson have taken her minutes. I hadn't heard of injury or Covid reducing her playing time, but this could have been a reason, too. I seem to remember her missing from the bench 1 or 2 matches.

Edit: added her season stats
She did. Still Army was a much shorter team so it was easier

to get blocks. I was worried about our sets and passing early on. The last two sets ND got their act together. The Ducks are going to be much bigger frontline tomorrow. ND has to start off much better to have a chance and play sharp throughout. It may be an advantage to have played today, but we will see. That seemed like a Creighton practice gym so if they play the same place tomorrow that could help ND. I;mm looking forward to it.
