Dustin Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 And the Fighting Hawks era begins with a season-ending loss for volleyball. They just weren't the same without Julia K. Glad she still has a couple years left for us. McKenzie, you will be missed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teeder11 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) I miss hardeeYeah, let's see if Prior handles this loss better than Hardee did on his last trip out to a BSC tournament. Edited November 19, 2015 by Teeder11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxVolley Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Where can we find info on the 2016 recruiting class?The wiki site here. Three outside hitters all over 6': Brueggeman Tx, Doucette (Cretin HS, Mn), Johnson (Roseau). Good chance some will contribute to a better kill game next year.There will almost certainly be defensive specialists and libero designates brought in to fill Hart's and Clarke's spots. Those type players often don't get scholarships, at least for a couple of years. Dominates was brought in last year, but we'll still have holes to fill.

SiouxVolley Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) Pryor=Mussman.Only for fan enthusiasm. Pryor actually does a good job recruiting and has set up the team well for future success. His coaching tactics and adjustments could improve some, but he's relatively new to the HC position.Hardee was a great ambassador, but he had his flaws, which caused his demise.

SiouxVolley Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Northern Arizona has what amounts to a #8 regional seed, so the Big Sky must be getting some respect in women's VB. Idaho State probably wasn't too far from an at large bid.USC, Texas, Minnesota, and Nebraska were the four #1 seeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxVolley Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 San Diego beat NAU 3-0, so not a good display by the Big Sky in NCAA tournament play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoggy Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 San Diego beat NAU 3-0, so not a good display by the Big Sky in NCAA tournament play.I wonder how much the extra week off that Big Sky takes before tourney plays into this. Not sure if same for San Diego. And lets be honest, in the west coast Big Sky volleyball isn't that strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's two years in a row now that we have lost a talented underclassmen from Minnesota to the Division II ranks. Pioske now Place. But I am sure they did what's best for them and their future.

Much respect and luck to all who are making these decisions! Sprengler rarely saw the court, and probably not at all once the preseason tourneys were done. I seem to recall Harnett had some quality floor time early, but rarely saw the floor in last month or two of the season. I liked her fire, but she's undersized for D1, even in the BigSky. With Fraase playing next year, and two more recruits coming in at 6'1" or taller it seems likely that future playing time (or lack of) may have had an influence on her decision. I don't know why, but keeping Canadian players in the US is an issue everywhere, for both the men and women. If anyone has any insight on that I'd love to hear it. Or maybe there are non-volleyball reasons for her leaving. They really are, or need to be, STUDENT-athletes. If she's not getting what she needs here I wish her the best wherever she ends up. Losing Place hurts. Every team needs a big stick on the outside, the player that puts it away when everyone in the gym knows she's going to get set. She wasn't there yet, but had a pretty good start. There looks to be quality players to fill the slot, but that year of experience, especially for a freshman with three years left, will be hard to replace.

For Place, it definitely wasn't for lack of playing time. Pryor never took her out. I'm guessing she'll be a rock star for Augustana.
