Non conference is so subjective. Strength of schedule, teams with injuries, resting players, changing lineups. This week is when we really so how they stack up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked it better when we didn't need to rationalize a bad non-conference record. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen to Coach Tupac's last press conference. He says they play a hard non-conference intentionally to push themselves. He goes onto say that he tells the team they shouldn't be discouraged by the current record, but they take the good and bad and use it all as a learning opportunity. I suspect we will be fine in conference play. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxFan100 Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 I think that it is a cop out to say preseason is only to get ready for conference. That wins or losses don’t matter. Again - Every team goes through the same process - in every sport - I find it hard to believe that nobody cares about winning in pre conference. That said - here we are and I hope for a fun and successful conference season. I enjoy watching volleyball - so athletic. Let’s get back to when volleyball is a thing at UND.

SiouxFan100 Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 DENVER, CO --The Denver Pioneers totaled 12 blocks en route to a 3-0 sweep (25-21, 25-18, 25-17) against the North Dakota Fighting Hawks Thursday at home in their Summit League Opener. The conference victory improved Denver's record to 2-7 overall and 1-0 in Summit League play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone else was in a boot (Rivière perhaps). That could be why ball control was bad, but overall rough start to conference. Need to play better Saturday otherwise could lose to 2 teams picked lower than them in preseason pool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewUndFan Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 I watched the game last night. I have been curious why Ashlyn Olson has not been playing? They said during the game that she lead the team in kills last year. Seems odd that she can barely break the rotation when the team looked like they did better last year then this year. I agree they have not looked good all season. Setting seems to be a issue I see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their passing and serving were missed last night. I feel like last nights game goes differently if we have them. They make the job easier for our setters which makes our hitters better. Hopefully they return soon. Still excited for this season and the future of UND volleyball! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goose15 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 I would say for the most part yes! We had a couple of ill timed service errors late in the second set that let ORU get that set from us. Clean up the serving and continue to get experience for players like Darr and we should be okay.
