I recorded it, and when I watch I'm going to keep count on how many out-of-system sets that Plummer scored on. She had a truly amazing match, maybe her peak out-of-system performance? I remember the poor Wisconsin coach being totally nonplused in a mid-match interview: his team was winning the serve/receive battle handily but still losing the sets because of Plummer's out-of-system hits.
I'm looking forward to the next season (if there is one), and the team next year will be good, and fun to watch as they develop. But it won't be the same: Plummer, Hentz, Fitzmorris, and Grey were either the best player in college at their position, or tied for the best--and then we had the short-term services of Gates who had an incredible NCAA tournament, not making a single hitting error until late in the championship match IIRC. Also, we have to hope our setter recovers from her injury by the fall.
