2024 Season

We are there. So close. Just have to find a way to put all the pieces together. Last night was the right side offense and defense. We struggle to slow down good outsides. Defenders are playing well, and serve and pass have improved quite a bit! Each night someone else steps up which is fun and must keep other teams guessing. Blocking is getting better throughout the season. Excited to see where things go as the conference continues to be competitive!

They have definitely taken steps forward since last season.

Agreed.  I don't think the fans are quite ready to commit to being regulars again after the later Pryor years and especially the Tiffin years scared off just about the whole lot.  Need to have these wins against USD at home to instill some confidence that fans who come out will see them on the winning end.

From what I’ve seen, I think UND is better than they’ve been the past 4-5 years. However, I think the rest of the summit league is also much improved. All teams are competitive, and I don’t remember it being that way (at least since we’ve joined). Used to be a big difference in the top 3-4 and the bottom 3-4. SDSU completely turned it around in 1 season (coach has been there 5 years), St. Thomas flipping it with the same personnel (same coach forever), so anything is possible! Just have to trust things will keep moving in the right direction.

Look like injuries are kind of piling up. Two on the bench with crutches. Barber in wrap whole season. McCormick in knee brace and couldn’t walk without limping at end of match. That doesn’t help a tough season either. Doesn’t look like we have much off the bench when someone isn’t playing well. #12 is it, don’t know if anyone else has seen quality time at all this season.

As of right now we are one spot away from conference tournament (St. Thomas still ineligible with move to D1).  We are one game back from Kansas City.  With our earlier loss to UMKC, we would need to beat them Thursday in 3, or a win and then win one more game to make it in (probably at NDSU). UMKC would also probably have to lose out. Still possible, it helps we are at home! 
 

flashes of goodness, just not sustainable. Passing is an issue, slowing down outsides is also a struggle. Serving is hit and miss. Need to make some strides next year to keep fans interested and keep the good players in the program!
