First set to UND against ASU. 25-18

While that would be great, I get an uneasy feeling every time I go to a volleyball game and walk by his Ford Bronco that still has Texas plates.

That's true. It didn't require a whole lot of action on the part of the crowd.

I've been a season ticket holder for volleyball for 5-6 years, and attended several games in the Hardee years as well. The crowd was actually pretty docile given its size. It kind of felt like the first year at the Ralph - people were there just to be there (albeit with many good reasons), and weren't necessarily in tune with what was going on. I've seen a normal size VB crowd (~1,100) provide more clapping, cheering, etc. With all that being said, it would be good to get some more fans to come back often and get them literate on volleyball. This was the perfect opportunity to get them interested, and the team capitalized on it.

Absolutely. Two setters in 7 seasons is rare. That would like having two starting QBs in 7 seasons. It takes out a huge X-factor when you know what you're getting from your setter.

Still a little off on her timing it seems, but she's better than last year, and she could be a force when it all comes together.

Wow, what a lengthy article!

Hopefully the girls put on a show tonight! This is looking like it could be the best team in UND volleyball history. I would expect nothing less than a victory.

Hoping for (at least) a two score win. 34-21

Got another sweep!

They Get the sweep. 2 more games tomorrow.

It's not a bad thing to experience as a player, coach, or fan - you realistically believe you have a chance to win no matter what, and that's pretty exciting.

UND finishes off the Rebels in 4.

Score update?

New score?

Ahh, I getcha now. I guess Bubba has said all along that a punt is an acceptable offensive play. I see what he means now.

Does punting count?!

No.

Wow!!

I did hear that Sydney Griffin was jump serving. Not sure if she intends to do that during actual games, or just a little showboating for the scrimmage.

I normally attend and give an analysis, but I had other commitments last night. Wish I could have!

UND actually had a #52 RPI in 2011 (and NDSU was #42!). UND was ineligible for the NCAA Tournament that year (last year of transition), and NDSU won the Summit League. I wonder if either would/could have been an at-large bid. http://web1.ncaa.org/app_data/weeklyrpi/2011WVBrpi1.html

I know a kid from Marcell, MN who is only 15, but already 6'6" with a 7' wingspan. He loves BB and can dunk. He's skinny, but who isn't at 15, especially with that awkward body. His mom says he's gotten way more coordinated in the past year. I don't know what he'll turn out to be like as BB player, but is this someone that the coaching staff should be alerted to?

Would be great if something like this could/would work. I've long felt that the #1 seeds should be able to host the regionals, but realize there are only 5 days between finding out if you're a #1 seed and needing to play a game at your arena. That probably works fine for certain arenas, but not so great for others.
