CSUN Hitters
This outside hitter is described as a rangey attacker with medium physicality and a vision hitter who manages well.
Who is #5 (OH)?
These two jersey numbers are the primary serving targets, listed with serve-receive ratings of 1.78 and 1.95.
Who are #12 and #5?
CSUN runs this modified defensive scheme against pins, with MBD in 5/6 and Libero playing the T. DD
What is a modified slide D (Option 1, middles in a read)?
When attacking against CSUN’s OH defense, recommended locations include tip to 2 or 3 and these two deep zones.
What are deep 1/6 and deep 5? (Also tool lead hand / outside bodyline)
This is listed as Key #1 to the match: serving them off the court and winning this war.
What is the sideout war?
This OH is primarily an angle attacker; if you stop short she does have line.
Who is #6 (OH)?
This is the type of serve #5 uses, and the zone she always aims.
What is a topspin serve aimed at zone 1/6?
In the two-hitter (medium/bad pass) situation, CSUB must not miss this option, especially with #5 front row.
What is Option 4? (LFB inside the setter before she touches)
Middles should run this tempo, keep spacing and range, and attack the middle of the court. Tip to 3 collapses if you go hard. DD
What is a 1-and-a-half tempo?
In Rotations 1–3, CSUN’s primary “Go” routes are some combination of these two patterns.
What are G-31/1-C and G-2-C?
This Angle/Edge attacker hits flat and high and will shot out of bad sets. She likes 6 and to tool.
Who is #12 (OH)?
If CSUB knocks CSUN out of system they hit this efficiency; if they pass well they hit this. DD
What is .180 if out of system / .400+ if they pass well?
Against OH on a perfect pass, CSUB should half-rotate and play this way while reading the tips.
What is play perimeter vs. OH? (Off-blockers must do their job)
Against the RS defense: line and tool lead hand, 5/6 deep, tip to 4 and 2, sharp and shove to 3, plus these inside zones.
What are inside A’s and B’s? (Also cross-body; they struggle with speed on inside sets)
The scout flags these two additional players to watch.
Who are #19 (RS) and #10 (middle)?
This middle favors thumb down when in front and mostly angle when hitting off 1 foot.
Who is #20 (MB)?
This is the combined percentage of sets that go to #12 and #5.
What is 57%?
On setter dumps: RBD has front and side, Middle has power straight-on low, LFD has back dump, and MBD has both of these.
What are both corners?
CSUN does NOT use this type of attack in system — only as a bail-out. Use 2-up and 1-off for shots.
What is a back-row attack?
When CSUN cheats in Option 1, setters should set opposite the flow, pin-to-pin until they leave middle, and follow this offensive philosophy. DD
What is “spread the sugar”? (Keep everyone’s numbers good)
Name the CSUN middle who serves and the specific instruction when she is in Rotation 5.
Who is #20, and what is “go at her hard on every ball in 5”?
