We looked out of sorts in Set 3. 25-20. Seems like we have no power anymore. Time for Harnett for a spark of power would be my solution.

Lead most of the way, but ended up falling 27-25 for a 1-1 tie at the break.

Julia K is the injured player. Can barely hobble. UND got off to a terrible start in set 1, down 12-4 to Sac St., but persevered and got a 25-23 win.

Took a phone call that kept me away for quite a while. Score and time, please.

Please keep the updates coming. This will be my only way to follow the game.

How'd that happen so fast?!

Keep the updates coming! I am following from a villa in Greece.

I think blocking is down, too. Unless I'm thinking of Hardee, I thought being tough defensively to generate offense was the goal with Pryor. We have the tallest lineup we've probably ever had (for sure since I've been watching volleyball - about 7 seasons), so blocking should be up, right? I like this team, but I have a feeling the South teams are going to put us through a tough stretch where we need to learn some stuff.

Up and down first set, but UND prevailed 25-23.

I don't see why not. Even if it isn't official, fans could just add it, much like it was added to "Sioux." Like I mentioned before, Fighting Nodaks seems to be who UND fabs are - we're always fighting with somebody (NCAA, Kelley, Bison fans, amongst ourselves)

I don't think the process itself was botched, but I do wonder what the nickname committee was thinking when advancing certain names and not others.

No.

Score update?

I hope Pryor has something up his sleeve for the fourth set. Maybe insert Amanda Harnett. Give them a look they haven't seen yet.

25-22 set 3 win to take a 2-1 lead.

Very back and forth set 1 with Montana State, with UND eventually dropping 27-25.

I just realized my updates probably were futile as the game was on national television.

Sweep over the Griz. 25-20 in set 3. Denae Dominguez tried out her jump serve tonight with mixed results.

UND up 2-0 after 25-18 win in set 2.

UND takes set 1, 25-23. Came back from at least 3 down.

Took a look at the standings and records. The South looks super competitive this year; the North not so much.

the touchdown drive at the end of the first half was also a key series in my opinion. Nice way to end a half.

I went to my TV listings, and Midco will replay the game on 10/8 at 9am. I couldn't find an earlier time, which is odd. That's a long time to wait for a replay.

Fighting Nodaks seems to describe who we are pretty well. We're always fighting with somebody - the NCAA, the University president, Bison fans, ourselves!

Yes, seems ridiculous. We could add "Fighting" to one of the other names, too. "Sioux" didn't start out with Fighting.
