UND leads country in total blocks (159.0). Senior Nikki Husfeldt is 9th in NCAA in total assists and McKenzie Hart is 16th in total digs. Freshman Faith Dooley continues to lead all of NCAA Division I in total blocks (80) and is 25th in blocks/set (1.4). Not too shabby of a start!

Eagle descriptors... Noble Eagles Mighty Eagles Soaring Eagles Commanding Eagles Proud Eagles Untamed Eagles or just Eagles.

I really like the Bald Eagle, and is the wanted to pay homage to NA culture, find the Sioux word for it. I like the visual, the though of a flipping Flickertail vs a buffalo from down south makes me sick. An Eagle is majestic, honorable, greater vision.

My thought on the subject, while I hate to see Sioux go, is to find a way to evolve elements of the current logo into the new. That said, I think the natural choice would be playing off of the feathers in the current logo and evolve that into a bird of some sort. Perhaps and eagle. Maybe researching the Sioux name for Eagle. I think there are ways to pay homage to the Sioux and keep it incorporated while changing it enough to staisfy the NCAA. There is a story of Spotted Eagle and Black Crow that is kind of cool: http://pyramidmesa.com/wrsioux5.htm about a warrior being betrayed by a friend, left out on a ledge to die and was saved by eagles that helped him return to his tribe. In the end, he returns to the Eagles that saved him and fed them Bison meat and honor them.

Heard some rumbling that they need to make some adjustments to blocking against some of these bigger teams. It will be interesting to see how things go with Pacific and just the number of games on top of the travel. Building endurance.

Pioske and Dooley selected for All-tournament team. Pioske had a monster match!

Tied at 14, come on ladies!

25-21, lost the second set. Played really well toward the end, but just not enough.

Iowa still hitting .422

Yeah, blocking is non-existent.

25-21, dropped the first set.

Anyone else having throuble with the stream? keeps locking up on me

Seems like we are leaving some big holes open for them.

Random fact about UND vs NDSU game, Dooley will be playing against former teammate Dallas Goettle, both played for Central Cass last year.

Heard Dooley was not playing the scrimmage due to resting a rolled ankle, should be good to go in DC.
