Wichita State volleyball gave the 5-1 system a full tryout in Sunday's 3-0 win over Memphis and coach Chris Lamb has a week to evaluate and practice before the Shockers start a three-match road swing. Wichita State (7-6, 2-0 American Athletic Conference) plays at Tulsa (9-4, 2-0) on Saturday (6 p.m.).
Lamb went with senior Kali Eaken in the one-setter system on Sunday instead of subbing in setters. It wasn't an easy decision and it's one that will require continued study.
The two-setter approach wasn't providing Wichita State enough scoring, especially from its right-side attackers, so Lamb handed the ball to Eaken late in Friday's win over Tulane and again Sunday.
