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.

Tonight it's UND's Britta Hanson and Mayville States Tara Thompson going against each other. Both are from Thompson and were teamates in high school. They were on the team when Thompson won back-to-back state titles in '05 and '06.

Had planned on going, but my daughter had way too much homework tonight.
