Dustin Posted September 29, 2023 Posted September 29, 2023 Finally got to see them play. Small sample size (for me, anyway), but jury is still out. At times, their hitting and blocking look really good, and at others their receiving and passing is suspect. I know it's still a work in progress for the Tupacs, so there will be good and bad. Finally got a chance to familiarize myself with the roster, too. Our team is very young - only 7 players are not freshmen or sophomores. Quote
Dustin Posted September 29, 2023 Posted September 29, 2023 I also kept wondering, how good of a team is Omaha? They look a lot like us. Quote
loyalundfan Posted September 29, 2023 Posted September 29, 2023 Ladies played great last night, just a couple more plays go our way and we get a win vs. one of the top teams in the summit who just beat USD. seems like defense is set up to dig hard hit balls so they are far back, which means the tips are harder to get. Looks like they are back on their heels, so it’s harder to run forward to get them. new rule the last few years is they can wear whatever they want on their lower body as long as it matches (all the same color). I like it, would probably make a lot of them more comfortable! Quote
Goose15 Posted September 30, 2023 Posted September 30, 2023 Watching the replay of the game last night and they mentioned that Norris has another year of eligibility for next year. I thought this was her last year. Would be huge if she came back!! Quote
Dustin Posted October 6, 2023 Posted October 6, 2023 USD wins 3-2 with the 5th set going the distance at 18-16. Sooooo close…. 1 Quote

Too bad serve receive broke down at the end of the 5th. Pink jerseys were very fun! Anyone notice how every game there are different girls on bench not dressed in uniform with headphones on? I can only imagine it’s concussions, but do we really have that many who get hit in the head? Quote

loyalundfan Posted October 17, 2023 Posted October 17, 2023 Can we go 2-0 vs NDSU in 4 days? I think yes. NDSU lost to St. Thomas on Saturday, so hopefully we can capitalize on that. We beat them there last year. Hopefully we don’t have anyone else out with injuries. Be confident and break our mini losing streak! Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted October 18, 2023 Posted October 18, 2023 I thought this program was going in the right direction? So far this season, not so much. I really hope the basketball teams make some strides this season. Quote

Sometimes you need to take a step back before taking a giant leap forward. 2 Quote
loyalundfan Posted October 20, 2023 Posted October 20, 2023 Lost to Denver in 5 tonight, an improvement from 0-3 earlier this year. 3rd set was 38-36, I think the longest set I’ve ever seen. Anyone confused why Ashlynn Olson isn’t playing? Keeping tabs on stats or two right sides, Norris and Gayle, consistently are hitting negative or close to zero for most matches. Olson has been our #1 hitter for the last two seasons, and she hasn’t gotten a chance. Must not have better practice stats or something. Just curious Quote

She finally broke the rotation and then couple games later has not played at all. I agree with what you are seeing from Norris and Gayle wondering when they make some changes. I am seeing alot of bad setting to our hitters and mental errors. Kind of disappointing after last season. Quote

SiouxFan100 Posted October 21, 2023 Posted October 21, 2023 I will be at the game tomorrow. Hopefully the band will be playing. Looking for an entertaining match. Quote
SiouxFan100 Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 Was Stockman hurt or sick -I don’t think she played last Saturday. Saw the games - very impressive watching in person - how athletic! Quote
Dustin Posted October 27, 2023 Posted October 27, 2023 Und drops a match to SDSU at home. I believe conference record is now 3-8. Quote
