SWSiouxMN Posted November 9, 2013 Author Posted November 9, 2013 Hardee is throwing the kitchen sink out there. UND forces set 4 25-19 Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted November 9, 2013 Author Posted November 9, 2013 See saw to start set 4 9-8 UND Quote
Dustin Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 UNC is waaay better than their record, and I think every top team will be happy if they don't make the conference tournament. Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted November 9, 2013 Author Posted November 9, 2013 32 hitting errors is not a recipe for winning and a .094 hitting percentage won't help either. They will regroup tomorrow and take care of Sac State. They won't repeat this performance again Quote
Dustin Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 Couple of positives I took from this game: 1. Attendance. Don't have an official number, but it appears the town is starting to rally around these girls. 2. McKenzie Hart. Hardee gave McKenzie a chance to hit and she made the most of it. She also had some service aces. To me she was the "Hart" of the team for UND (sorry, had to do it). Quote
Smoggy Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 We looked so lost tonight. We were hitting into a lot of blocks and we couldn't block. If we did get a spike through a UNC defender was there. We hit way to many balls out. A very strange thing was how often we weren't even able to set a ball. Seemed like we weren't going to Pioske much and when she did get a chance to hit it wasn't the usual power. A good note was the serving and all the aces. Munkeby as our only offensive weapon. Hart played great, but she is not tall enough to be front row. Quote
Smoggy Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 Couple of positives I took from this game: 1. Attendance. Don't have an official number, but it appears the town is starting to rally around these girls. It was just over 1000. UND VB tweeted out that we are currently 36th in the nation. Quote

I witness that a lot tonight. It was not a well oiled machine tonight. Hardee was not very happy and got after the team to pick up the play. The good thing is that they play tomorrow. Quote
Feff Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 UND takes first set 25-23. Team looks off. Definitely a different team without Robinson I think. Quote

SiouxVolley Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 NAU gets Set 1 over PSU 26-24 Portland State beat NAU 3-1. The match against PSU takes on added importance: a UND practically clinched the Big Sky. A loss and PSU in tied and in control. Quote
SiouxVolley Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 Couple of positives I took from this game: 1. Attendance. Don't have an official number, but it appears the town is starting to rally around these girls. You would think the town would rally behind the first ever possible Big Sky champions, but only 1000 and 800 something in this weekend's games. A crowd of 1200 for Saturday matinee and 800 Thursdays are what the team draws, and only made 800 on a Saturday night with no UND team at home. It deserves better then that. The 2700 in the game against NDSU is the only reason the team is the top 50 in attendance. Quote
gfhockey Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 everyone was celebrating the football win to me it seemd like Saturday was just a slow day everywhere crappy attendance at football every bar I went to after was slow. Quote

fightingsioux4life Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Two words for you Volley: Deer Opener. The all-purpose excuse in Grand Forks for bad attendance at sporting events. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 The all-purpose excuse in Grand Forks for bad attendance at sporting events. It can only be used one weekend per year, and this was it. Heck, NDSU didn't sell out Fargodome this weekend (18076 and they had over 19000 at their homecoming). Deer opener is a defacto holiday weekend in this region. Schools would be smart to schedule road games deer opener weekend. Quote
siouxhockeyfan11 Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 The all-purpose excuse in Grand Forks for bad attendance at sporting events. Yep, it gets used all the time Quote
gfhockey Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 cant use deer opener as an excuse! tags were way down this yar1 Quote
82SiouxGuy Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 cant use deer opener as an excuse! tags were way down this yar1 Actually, they were way down last year. Only decreased about 10% this year, from 65,300 in 2012 to 59,500 this year. A lot of people still go to the hunting camp for the weekend whether they have a tag or not. Another possible reason for lower attendance on Saturday is the fact that today is Veteran's Day. I'm pretty sure that it's a holiday, which means that students have a 3 day weekend. A lot of students go home on 3 day weekends. So student attendance at the volleyball game might have been down because there were fewer students on campus than normal. Quote
