Bison Dan Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Channel 11 KVLY (Fargo) just did a piece on UND Volleyball, Petersen said she was expecting a big contribution from the freshmen, there are No Seniors on this years squad.......time will tell......? Britta Hanson (jr.) from Thompson, N.D. could be a Dominate player at this level with the right Coaching and Leadership..imo When you start getting home games with DI schools (good ones) you'll quickly see a tremendous difference in the quality of athlete and coaching over DII. I think VB was one of the sports where there was a large difference between DI and DII. Quote
