I only watched bits and pieces of last night's game but I believe I have this correct. Pringle starts the match as DS which she's been doing most of this season. Hambly must have seen something he didn't like because Beaven comes in as DS. Beaven missed two serves and that pretty much ended her court time. So Belardi finally gets her chance to show what she can do as DS.
Belardi this season seems to be relegated to third string DS after getting substantial playing time in this position last season. I know Belardi is the backup setter but that normally should not interfere with her playing DS. It's a little surprising as last season Hambly was high on Belardi, often referring to her as a baller. Also add in the fact Belardi played the entire Beach season with their team and in theory that's supposed to help your digging/floor defense.
If I'm not viewing this correctly, please advise.
