First of all, ASHLEY says HI to all VOLLEYWOOD FANS & haters!
These 3 gorgeous ladies are playing in the Azerbaijan League for the 2010-2011 season. Kim Glass plays for Rabita Baku with one of Europe’s best scorers, Natalya Mammodova. Richards plays for Lokomotiv Baku and will soon be joined fellow USA teammate, Nancy Metcalf, who is currently in Japan for the World Champs.
Our Thoughts from this Video…
With Mammodova as the team’s scoring machine Kim Glass seems to be the 2nd or even 3rd option for Rabita’s offense. This is expected! Mammodova can generate points more than anyone in their league. Although it’d be nice to see the setter feeding Kim Glass more knowing that Kimmie is trying to get back in shape after an injury. She needs to build up her confidence to gain the form we saw 2 years ago in the Beijing Olympics. Kimmie can pound balls! Boom!
It looks like Richards has regained her form as she looks more aggressive with her hitting. Girlfriend can serve too! Lokomotiv also welcomed Ashley Engle to their team as a SUB for this particular match. If Engle ever trains with the USA NT again, Coach Hugh can guide her to become a better setter than she is now. She’s tall and she’s a lefty. We can’t really add more about Engle since we didn’t see much of her back in college. We think she’s got game and beauty! Go Pretty Lefty!
Engle was interviewed a few weeks ago by Azeri Volley and to read the full feature just CLICK HERE!
