Best player on the floor by a long ways.

I would definitely agree. Good defensively, powerful in the front line and still able to be a threat offensively while in the back. She's impressive. 

[SWSiouxMN]

Up 2-0 with a 25-13 win in set 2.  Rolling right now

[Oxbow6]

25-13 UND. 2-0.

[SWSiouxMN]

UND up 9-5 in Set 3, UNC Timeout.  I agree on Merseli, just a great all around player.  What a find by Pryor. 

[Oxbow6]

Breaking news........#7 is ridiculously good.

[SWSiouxMN]

UND up 16-9 in set 3.  UNC uses 2nd timeout, its looking like UND is going to take this thing outright

[SWSiouxMN]

4 away from an outright title

[SWSiouxMN]

3 away

[SWSiouxMN]

[SWSiouxMN]

[SWSiouxMN]

match point for UND

[SWSiouxMN]

Conference champs!

[Feff]

UND is the Big Sky champs! In pretty dominating fashion. Man is this team fun to watch. 

[Dustin]

Dooley and Merselli have got to be the best 1-2 combo in the Big Sky.

They handed out a schedule after the match @ the Betty today. 2v7 @ 11:30; 3v6 @ 2; 4v5 @ 4:30; UND v Idaho @ 7. All on thursday.

Tough draw.  I think we've had lots of recent matches against Idaho go 5 sets.  But what is scarier is that semifinal matchup.  Our two losses were against those two teams.

Just keep playing like we have been and it won't matter as no one will come close to us.

I agree. But if the play from the last two matches continues, they will be dancing. Maybe even knock off a first round NCAA opponent. 

[SWSiouxMN]

Don't sleep on PSU, they could spring an upset or two on the other side of the bracket.

I agree with others, if UND plays like they have, they shouldn't have any issues. 

[SiouxVolley]

UND just needs crowds of 2000+ of support to spike their way to the dance. Most teams dont have the home crowd environment that UND has.  UNC and ISU beat UND on the road, and UND is playing much more powerfully now than when they lost  to those schools.  if UND continues playing like they have recently, don't think they will lose a set.

[SiouxVolley]

UND averaged 1108 people per match, and we didn't have any other Dakota schools at home.

Pretty classy that Pryor thanked Ashlee Hardee for laying the groundwork for the program.

I noticed that as well, and thought that was a nice gesture.
