Karen Chisum believes she has five very good defensive specialists.
She’s not able to bring all of them when Texas State (7-5) travels for away games, though. The decision of who stays and who goes for each trip can be difficult. To get a better picture of who her best options are, Chisum chose to give each defender extended playing time against George Washington (6-6) during the Bobcats’ second game of the Creeds & Crests Classic inside Strahan Arena on Friday.
Texas State typically deploys a lineup of three or four outside hitters and middle blockers, with setters and defensive specialists filling in the rest of the spots. But on Friday, the ratio was flipped.
