2024 Season

[loyalundfan]

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.

Disappointing conference season so far. We are competitive but unfortunately still losing. Third year

[SiouxFan100]

1-5 in the conference though we seem capable of beating anyone.  We just don’t do it for some reason

Lose to st Thomas in three sets. -  1st two sets went extra points and got blown out in third. 
disappointed so far this year

[loyalundfan]

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.

Has any of chaves hires been good

[loyalundfan]

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.

.04 was our hitting %

i think this was due to our passing. Omaha always serves tough, so we were out of system a lot.

Anyone know if hardee is sober? Maybe we can get him back

Hell of an athletic department.  The demand for excellence is almost overbearing!

Is that a good win? Or is ORU even worse than us?

[The Sicatoka]

Right now any W is good W.

We are tied for last if that says anything.

Lost to Denver 3-1 after winning the first set

[loyalundfan]

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!

[SiouxFan100]

Let’s beat Kansas City in three then!
