SiouxVolley Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 If Dooley can ever be a reliable server, watch out. She'd be able to play more, have more blocks and kills, and teams seem to get on runs when she's out of the lineup for a designated server. E Wash was better than I thought. They have some hitters with height. Anna Pioske didn't play much and apparently very well. Fontes played admirably in her place. Is Pioske hurt?

Teeder11 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Good question but I don't think so on Pioske. Looked like Pryor sat her after an uninspiring first set. Unless she's being nagged by an unknown injury and that's why she was out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless she's being nagged by an unknown injury and that's why she was out. There were reports that nagging injuries have bothered her. She doesn't seem like the same hitter she was as a freshman. Maybe it would be best if she rested and healed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 Both Pioske and Robinson had ice on their shoulder after the South Dakota game. I really think it's affecting Robinson's power. She wasn't doing that well last night either, until her back row play started to save a few balls, and that translated into her being better offensely. On a side note, my wife and I sat lower down than we usually do because attendance was a little light, and happened to sit right next to Nikki Husfeldt's parents. They were great to visit with, and pointed some of the other girls' parents, too. Her mom said that Nikki visited other schools, but once she visited UND she fell in love with it, and her parents love it too. They had no prior connection to UND before Nikki came. I love stories like that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxVolley Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 UND beats Idaho in 5 sets!! Great job! Very close game. UND had 11 aces, and they never have many aces. Idaho will be hard to beat in Moscow. Away games in Pocatello, Greeley, Flagstaff, and probably Portland will be tough to win. Looks like Pioske bounced back had a good game. She, and Moser, Dooley, and Robinson all had 18 or so pts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teeder11 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 UND and UNC had two very tough common opponents this week. UND could have very well been 0-2 if those other teams would have succeeded in doing to us what they did to UNC. To UND's credit, thank goodness they didn't. I watched parts of the UNC-EWU game last night and UNC is balanced experience wise with a very good freshmen who's a lankier version of Dooley. She has a complex slide move that is unreal. EWU battled hard to come from behind in the fifth and deciding set aided by some untimely errors by UNC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxVolley Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Portland comes here. We dont go out there. Weber ISU and Sac St. Are our road crossovers Forgot that Port St is in the West Division. Thought it was a N-S alignment. The overall leader hosts the Big Sky tournament, correct? The team really needs someone on the right side to be a nearly full-time point contributor. Right now, we have five positions solidified (with Hart, Husfeldt, Dooley, Robinson, Pioske and Moser subbing) with a sixth spot up for grabs.

No1siouxfan Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Was at the match on Saturday, what a nail biter! Lately, it seems like we are coming out flat, like we have to drop the first set to get warmed up. It was interesting to see how they fed off of the energy of the crowd. Hoping we can continue to do well on the road with MT matches this week. Anyone know what they are looking like this year, and how we matchup?

Hoping we can continue to do well on the road with MT matches this week. Anyone know what they are looking like this year, and how we matchup? Montana, Mt St, and Weber St look to be the dredges of the Big Sky. But in a road game, anything can happen. We should not have lost to NDSU on paper, but we did probably because the crowd factor in reverse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love stories like that! I wouldn't read too much into players having ice on their shoulders. It seems rare not to find players walking around post-match with ice on their shoulders and/or knees. Guess it's an occupational hazard of jumping and reaching high (listen to coach when the outsides are getting set - it's REAL common to hear him yelling "reach"). Regrading Pioske against EWU, I wouldn't put too much into that match as well. Everyone has a bad match once in a while. Fortuately UND had someone that could step up and carry the load. And that night is was Fontes. And it was a very nice surprise from the local kid - if she wasn't a little under sized we'd probably see a lot more of her. She definitely needs the ball a little more off the net that Pioske, but did well when the team was in-system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was some action last night in the Big Sky. Most notably, Idaho swept No. Arizona in Moscow. Idaho St. and So. Utah also won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxVolley Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 2-1 UND UND seems to start off terrible, especially with away games, and then later roll. Video is unwatchable. Dooley is hitting .560 at present. The other gals were hitting poorly at first, but have come on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
