VBelo Scouting Report: January 21, 2023
40 matches in 2 days!
20 matches yesterday, 20 matches today. I am going to let the scores speak for themselves (and I didn’t have time to do more in depth write-ups). I will say that the First Point Collegiate Challenge has not disappointed so far. Expect 2 more great matches today as all 4 teams look to get huge non-conference wins. Instead of highlighting some matches for today, I want to do a really quick stats/record breakdown.
18 of 20 - Matches won by team with higher VBelo odds on January 20th
11 - Number of undefeated teams left
4 - Number of teams who haven’t lost a set
3 - Away wins for Long Island (1st)
112 - Penn State’s total point differential (1st)
9.7 - Long Beach’s point differential per set (1st)
3 - Number of 5 Set losses for UCSB (1st)
Let me know if you have any questions about matches, sets, or points and I will see what I can find out.
