An ace is the only point in volleyball that involves one team. Nobody blocks it, nobody digs it, nobody sets it. It is also the number that moves fastest, because a server on a run can put four or five on the board in ninety seconds and change a set that was already decided. Earlier we ran the middles and the pins.
