Yeah, on a day when Harvey (0.100) and Rubin (0.128) were struggling, Kürt (team high 16 kills, .382) and the middles (as usual) saved our bacon.

Goes to show that as much as we might chafe at the idea of holding Blyashov out half the time, there might be something to the strategy.  Barring a transfer in or out, they are both going to be starting next year; plus they have both improved over the course of the season, so it is really hard to fault the admittedly unconventional strategy.

Nitpick: it's good being careful to include the diacritical marks in players' names, but I'm pretty sure Kurt doesn't have one in her surname. Web sources I can find spell her full name İpar Özay Kurt.

Wilkipedia, for instance:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%B0par_%C3%96zay_Kurt

Tip: on Apple touch screen devices, a long press on a letter brings up a context menu with variants including the most common diacriticals. Apologies to those who already know this.
