Player impact

Mayberry’s take
The opening-set win should not hide its high error cost. Coker generated enough kills to absorb that cost, then finished with a cleaner attacking balance. The identical ace and dig totals make the offensive difference more prominent, although they do not describe every rally. A useful follow-up is whether the Cobras can retain the volume while reducing the need to overcome their own errors.
