Pull Fordham's schedule and they play Coppin State in Grand Forks on Sep 9. Fourth team.

Coppin State's schedule has them in Alabama instead of Grand Forks.  https://coppinstatesports.com/sports/womens-volleyball/schedule

So Coppin State must've ... Cop'd ... out ... on us. 

If they bailed that's on them, not Chaves. And our new VB regime may still have time to find a fourth.

I am happy to see that majority of home games are on Thursday/Saturday.  I loved that schedule during the Big Sky years, and I think it will foster some love and familiarity with fans who've been checked out since Pryor/Tiffin effed us.  A couple of games scheduled on a Tuesday night is just fine, too.  The first couple Summit League schedules were a HUGE drawback in attending games, IMO.

My gut feeling is this coaching staff will quickly bring UND volleyball back to a top tier program.

Me too.  I found this quote interesting: "Pretty much changed every little thing you possibly could."

Why change when everything was going so good?

I read it as sarcasm... sans purple.

"changed everything"....said that in the first 20 seconds...says a lot about the previous program

Preseason polls should be out soon no?

My guess is that they will be picked at the bottom of the conference based on last year....

Probably. But I think the league will be surprised.

We won 3-0. They played 2 extra sets. Dragons won fifth set, UND won first 4.

So does the team look like it has more talent or does it look like similar talent with a better coach?

[jdub27]

Not sure on talent but there was a significant focus on athleticism. Both the head and assistant coach know what is needed to compete. Looking forward to what they are able to do.

Ceiling is high if you have athletes that want to work to get better.

[SWSiouxMN]

Preseason Summit polls have UND 8th.

I was shocked that they were picked so high

[forksandspoons]

Some good opportunities to get better and gel this weekend!
