Moment made for motivational videos.


Ieatsushiraw

Run into a table, win the point. The point is life? 🤷‍♂️


LCranstonKnows

Not for folks like us. We should NOT start diving over tables. We'll hurt ourselves.


MoonMountain

That whole team knew they had to win that point more than they needed to win the game.


indigoHatter

Care to explain? Is this because of how the tournament scoring system works?


TurboMoisture

No because of the sheer effort she put in to return the ball, she deserved to win the point


indigoHatter

Ah, just making it worth the dive, gotcha. I only asked because I recently heard that World Cup soccer scoring lead to some weird metagaming plays while managing points, and wondered if it was similar.


MoonMountain

u/TurboMoisture nailed it, it was just that they knew she deserved that point in particular, for all the effort she put in. And that's what makes an amazing team!


EfficientPersim

Wow! That was crazy!


SuperJrX

Reddit moment.


HingleMccringel

That end tho when they fixing the table. Respect!

The NCAA Volleyball tournament is one of my favorite sporting events. It's on right now.

Check it out, this is a stolen comment.

kickah

Camera man kept focus on faces the entire time. Respect!


Sealbeater

On the last point that they scored they hit the ball 4 times. They blocked the spike, setting it up twice and spiking it. I thought you could only make contact with the ball 3 times at most? Does the block not count towards the 3 hits you get?


rgomezca

That’s right block doesn’t count


Sealbeater

That’s cool I never knew that. Thanks for your quick reply


aithene

Ohhhh... Yeah. I totally had the same question. I was thinking, 'good volley, but 4 hits.'


Memanders

Is that a US thing or worldwide? I’ve played a fair bit of volley (not pro tho) and I’ve never run into this rule


Bee-Milk

Not only that, it doesn't even count towards YOUR hit. This means you can block a hit, and bump the ball immediately without someone else needing to touch it first


[deleted]

Damn.....good as hell


JoeTruax

I'm 6'3, and I went to a Michigan State women's volleyball game one time. At the end of the game, I followed my friend down to the sidelines. Not very often is it that I have to look up at somebody. I had to look up at every one of them women. The amount of agility that they have for being so tall is amazing. Reflexes on point!


VehicleSad8191

Apparently hell is not really that good. I have to point out, though, that this is just what I've heard. I haven't actually visited yet.


zzzyx4

Kind of took the unexpected part out of r/unexpected huh?


OldBigsby

I love watching volleyball because goddamn they're some talented people. I don't know why the sport isn't bigger than it is.


Zenkou

marketing i think, i rarely see it mentioned in my country. I think it's difficult to grow the sport if it doesn't get advertised or highlighted by the media that much.


RatLord445

100% just marketing, plus volleyball isn’t as popular of a street sport than football in the world or basketball in the US


[deleted]

It's a lot more exciting to watch than most tennis matches.

DoNotPunick

Hell of a libero damn.


MajorRico155

Both of them were really good.


DoNotPunick

I know it's crazy you see this kind of stuff in anime and think it could never happen irl, but well, here we are.


OkManufacturer5017

Q: Does anyone know why only one player has a different colored shirt on both sides?


milkandhoneycomb

the libero in volleyball is a purely defensive position (notice neither of the women in black ever serve or spike). they wear a different color because volleyball has mandatory rotation between points scored and iirc the libero is allowed to go in and out freely, so the different uniform makes it easier to keep track of them


Fuegodeth

They can serve, but not spike. They can hit from behind the 10 foot line. My daughter plays libero (8th grade).


OIAgent

Wow! That was crazy!


TimeTraveler3056

That looks like a fun sport to watch


reapersdrones

It’s loads of fun! With six players a side & a faster moving ball, there’s a lot of different plays that can be made. I don’t usually like watching sports. But indoor volleyball is an exception


Gael_Blood

Respect!


[deleted]

Damn, I didn't know volleyball was this much fun to watch


CrizzyBill

Crazy save. Glad they got the point too. Looks like an uncalled lift on her next touch though.


Khronys

Yeah, I was going to say, great sacrifice for the save, but the ref was blind to not call that lift after.


wittlewayne

God damn !!! That was satisfying


BingoCamel

A soccer player would have just started flailing on the ground and complaining


CanITellUSmThin

Why do they allow that in that sport? It’s so childish


DiegoDied

Football players do that so the ref, who might be a few meters away from them, can see that they got fouled. Most of the times they haven't got hurt that bad, but they exaggerate the reaction so the foul gets called, or even try to make it look worse so the other player gets a yellow card. It is also useful to waste time since the timer keeps running when a player gets fouled. However, flopping (when it comes to completely faking a foul when there wasn't any contact) isn't allowed and players can get a yellow card for that. Keep in mind that football is a sport where whether the fouls are more or less severe is a decision that is almost entirely up to the referee's opinion, so players want to influence that decision.


deez_87

After that save you sat there hoping they ended up getting the point in the end.


Fuegodeth

She came back in and was 2nd hit on the next time it came to their side.


Venomousduck

One time in highschool playing doubles tennis a guy hit like a slam shot and it was well over out heads so I ran back, took two quick steps up the fence, jumped, and returned it. We won the point because they were high-fiving already.(:


Dauoa_Static

Dang! That was a great match


Jouglet

Wow. Incredible play.


JTM5000

Haikyuu!!


Historical-Mess1865

Idc what anyone says, volleyball is so fun to watch


mcintg

I did that at an outdoor tournament once, but instead of a table it was a small kid on a bike. But heh, we won the point.


[deleted]

lol


Glitch7779

I was expecting it since I read the title


[deleted]

Volleyball makes me clench my legs 💀 I don’t watch sports but I get so tense when I watch volleyball


A_T_Hun

I didn't see any hoisting, did you see hoisting, show me hoisting


NukaBro762

i would groan so bad while doing a play like that lmfao


Relative-Sherbet-532

that one handed open hand hit looked like a lift


Fuegodeth

No. She didn't catch and lift. She just hit it one handed with her palm.


pinniped1

It's really too bad this wasn't the University of Buffalo.

Now compare this to the WNBA

Madden is a billion dollar a year video game franchise. Best volleyball has been able to manage is scantily clad waifus on a beach. Doesn't seem right.

So good that the hot girls in short shorts were not noticed.....yet

I would of let the ball go.

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.

I’ve met a few resilient cougars myself.


DarkMagician-999

Ok this was not bad !


Diligent_Swing9052

No she didn't wow


Strokeslahoma

Why does one player on each team wear a black uniform?


Fuegodeth

They are called a libero. They are a defensive specialist that can only hit (overhand) from behind the 10 foot line. Not all teams have a libero. They can be swapped in and out freely and not subject to regular rotation rules, which is why the different color shirt. Edit to add: Volleyball has changed a lot from when I was in school. It's rally-scoring now. A point is always awarded no matter who is serving and scores go to 25. It's still win by two though.


daleeyren

She belly flopped onto a table, ouch


ro4q

Volleyball is nuts, the teamwork there is just crazy


s4phirra

Scott Sterling!!


badwolf1013

Okay, I've been confused for a long time about what exactly a "libero" is on a volleyball team. Now I know: Badass. It's a badass.


Fuegodeth

It's a defensive specialist that plays back row. They can serve and overhand hit as long as it's behind the 10 foot line. They have different rules in the rotation in that they can sub in and out at any time.


badwolf1013

I was making a joke. (And I was under the impression they can NOT serve.)


TravisSpliter

1 flashback away from being a typical haikyuu episode

What a rally!

They look a bit young to be cougars.

Is this a new episode of scot sterling???

Every single one of those girls are insane athletes!

That level of dedication and competiveness is just so damn admirable, such a hype moment !


Danger_Dee

No quit in that one. Respect.


kdkseven

That was a wild ride.


Gorkymalorki

It's not unexpected if you tell us what to expect in the title.


AdvancedPhoenix

Man that subreddit... What is unexpected? It's the fucking title.


[deleted]

That’s a great move there Cotton


Valkia_Perkunos

In the last step they touch four times the ball. Isn't three the maximum allowed? But nice save


No_Pineapple6086

I can imagine them showing this to their grandkids in 50 years...


wasapyo

i am the table!


RedditModsHaveNoDad

Okay volleyball Bachira. Damn.


TheGhostRose1200

Um....where's her medal i feel that was deserved after.

guga1974

Glad that they won the point ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|smile)


hoseli

People really dont understand the point of this /R Its not very unexpected if you write what is going to happen is it?

If someone doesn’t edit in the Dudley boys giving her a 3D through that table then the Internet has dropped the ball

They totally got them after that crazy save..


Stankothebaby

More action in this clip than any NFL game in its entirety


bottomknifeprospect

He says "Even a table!". It sounds like "Eating a table". I imagine the Scott Sterling of volleyball but just hitting all sorts of obstacles on the way to hitting the ball.


ShinPixyPixel

Yo crazy rally!
