NewUndFan Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Impressed with the signings the new coach has made. I think this was a very good hire and excited to see how the team does next year. 9 new players! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoSiouxFan Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Of course we won't know for sure until this fall, but it appears that he's hit a home run with his first recruiting class. Could we go from worst to ................third?...........second?.................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forksandspoons Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Sounds like the new coaching staff is off to a good start! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undVBfan Posted April 25, 2022 Author Share Posted April 25, 2022 Should be an interesting fall. By clicking on links in the Instagram page I see all 4 previous recruits still mention UND volleyball. The initial group had a little of everything: a MB, RS, OH, and Libero. Now add in 5 more recruits. Something will have to give. Three of the five are grad transfers. I like that coach is bring in some outside experience, even if for just one year (maybe two - who knows with COVID and possible red shirts). Position possibilities are: 3 middles (2 of the grad transfers), 2 RS, 1 OH and a Libero. No setters in either bunch of recruits. We still have the current 3 fighting for 1 or 2 positions. Should make practice competitive. With COVID I can't keep track if they have only this year or 2 more years left. At the previous scrimmage it sure looked like Norris can hit as well as set. I didn't catch all the matches last year, but I was pleasantly surprised. Wonder if that might have an impact on the pecking order? Passing is always a concern. MB and RS don't pass, so there isn't a lot of new options for serve receive. I hope they are making strides this spring. You can never pass too well. And they'll need passes if they want the middles to get set. MSU Moorhead Tuesday night at the Betty for the second scrimmage. I think it's at 7 PM.

SWSiouxMN Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I hope for .500, but shooting for better than that have to start somewhere after only winning 1 game last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undVBfan Posted April 26, 2022 Author Share Posted April 26, 2022 I'm not worrying about numbers. I'd like good numbers, and even great numbers , but what I really want to see is competitiveness, a program pointing in the right direction. I don't think it will be hard to get most of the fan base back once they start moving in the right direction. The environment from 5-10 years ago is what I want, and then every should feed off of each other, making the Betty a fun place to be and a hard place for a visiting team to win. I like what I've seen so far. I was all for giving the previous coach a chance, but I did have my doubts, and it clearly didn't work out. I don't have any of the same concerns right now, I think there are good days ahead. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That tells me that Tupac believes he has a starting setter for next season. 22 hours ago, undVBfan said: so there isn't a lot of new options for serve receive. On the surface, this part is concerning. Perhaps he's on top of their fundamentals and things are coming along. Otherwise, he would have had to address this.

Dustin Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 At the game vs. MSUM. UND wins first set 25-14(?). (Not sure of the score because the scorekeeper reset to 0 so quickly). I’ll write more on the actual play after full match assessment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Set 2 was plagued by some mistakes and sloppy play, but UND prevailed 25-23. #4 Norris had the best spike of the set, though had errors too. #6 Sewell had the best serves, though she had an error her next time up. Good fight in the squad; they’re chasing balls all over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustin Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 #6 Sewell had another nice string of serves. Overall just better play, but nothing stood out in set 3. UND 25-17 to take the match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loyalundfan Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Any news on the newest (male) assistant coach that was hired a couple weeks ago? Saw the press release and was impressed, but now nothing. Everything has been deleted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWSiouxMN Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Got ourselves a conference schedule! https://fightinghawks.com/sports/womens-volleyball/schedule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undVBfan Posted June 11, 2022 Author Share Posted June 11, 2022 Roster has been posted, no surprises. All 9 of the new players are listed (4 from Tiffin, 5 from Tupac). Carlat is the only one not listed that wasn't mentioned as not returning. Looks to be going to Merrimack, which will now have 2 former UND players. Nothing on the non-conference schedule. It will be interesting to see what direction Coach wants to go with the competition. It looks to be an interesting fall. I'm looking forward to seeing the progress, and more people in the seat.
