undVBfan Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 The effort seemed lackluster last night, as travel and the let down from the big crowd and rivalry match took its toll.Stokke commented in Tuesdays game that UND sets low to give the opposition less time to set up, as UND also wants to be pushing the tempo. NDSU had very high sets in comparison. It might take a season to get their timing down and for Griffin to get the ideal set height for each person.You're absolutely right, UND wants to keep the sets low, both in the middle and to the outside. The less time the blockers have to move the better. But that comes with a risk, the higher the set the more chance the hitter can adjust. The lower the set the more the hitter just has to deal with what they are given. Outside sets have a margin for error regarding preferred height, with the middles the set has got to be right, and having two very different middles makes the setters life interesting.Keep in mind the sets may be great but the block may ends up in the right (wrong?) place. If the block is to the hitters right and the set dies a little inside (right where the blocker is) tipping is much preferred to getting blocked.The tempo might be right on some sets but the location is off. And again, I don't know if this is a setter issue, attacker issue or a little of both.I strongly suspect this is a "with a lot of practice it will get better" issue.

SWSiouxMN Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 UND snaps the losing streak with a marathon 5 set win over SUUSet 5 went 19-17 UND. Griffin with 70 set assists, Hart had 50 digs, Place and Moser had 20+ killsThey certainly like to play long sets and matches this year don't they?

Smoggy Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 That's their 10th straight 5 set win in a row. Pretty crazy stat.In the game summary Pryor said they have a couple more injuries with one being serious. Anyone know who all is injured?

Teeder11 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) UND takes set 1 25-23 over Sac State. UND comes from as many as 8 down to win the set. Edited October 30, 2015 by Teeder11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 Julia K is the injured player. Can barely hobble. UND got off to a terrible start in set 1, down 12-4 to Sac St., but persevered and got a 25-23 win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustin Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 We looked out of sorts in Set 3. 25-20. Seems like we have no power anymore. Time for Harnett for a spark of power would be my solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 Having Julia out is definitely hurting the team. They played with a little more edge on Set 4, but it wasn't enough. Sac St has a good record, but we should have beaten them at home. I thought for sure McKenzie Hart would have made it to ncaa's at least once in her career, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the NCAA was a lost cause when they got swept by NAU and Idaho St. Both of those tea s are top 50 caliber squads that the rest of the Big Sky can't hold a candle to. Sac St is probablying the third best team in the league, which are all in the south.Learn from the year, recrust as needed, and make adjustments. Big Sky volleyball isn't a walk in the park anymore, as shown by Sac St, which has made major improvements.

Dustin Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 Listened to coach Pryor at the fan luncheon, and Julia K is out for the season, but according to her, she's going to "win rehab." Encouraged us to attend the game tomorrow to watch "something special." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teeder11 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 UNC made adjustments and flipped the tables to take set 2. 25-19. Plus UND played horrid at the start, excellent in the middle of the set and horrid again down the stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Posted November 7, 2015 Author Share Posted November 7, 2015 You can tell the enthusiasm for volleyball has waned a bit since no one even bothered to write about last Saturday's finish (5 set loss to UNC). The girls did get a road win at MSU last night 3-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teeder11 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 That said, I wish next Saturday's tilt wasn't an 11 am start again right before the big FB game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoggy Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 It would help if they would stop scheduling home games right up against other sports.Not to mention that the Big Sky had 3 home volleyball series coincide with football. And football was on road for 2 weeks and had bye another.But UND did blow it with the 11 am starts. If Big Sky is dictating those start times so that teams can fly out then they need to accommodate and schedule opposite football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWSiouxMN Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 A win today against Montana and UND will make the Big Sky tourney. They can finish no higher than a 6 seed. Right now that could be a SAC/EWU/Idaho matchup at the 3 VS a very unfavorable ISU or NAU matchup at the 1 or 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
