    Izzy Starck Leaves Penn State Team

    Just to make my point. THIS year's roster (let alone last year): Jordan Hopp (Iowa State) Addie Lyon (St Louis) Emmi Sellman (Ohio State) Caroline Jurevicius (Nebraska) Kennedy Martin (Florida) Maggie Mendelsohn (Nebraska) That's 314 of their 354 kills. 772 of their 856 attacks. Good thing...

    Izzy Starck Leaves Penn State Team

    Nothing nefarious no doubt. I just don't like these programs built by grabbing players developed in other places.

    Zeynep out for the year

    It's always going to be the big "what if." What if Hugh had stayed for another couple of years, at least?

    Izzy Starck Leaves Penn State Team

    Interesting to see the career trajectories of the last two frosh setters who led their respective teams to a NC. I do not like how Penn State is running their program. It's a shame that this has happened to one of their actual recruits. I wish her the best.

    Lippy Invitational: Vanderbilt and Lipscomb September 5 & 6, 2025

    Well, you have to like how clean they played in the Lipscomb match, but still not seeing the rightside offense or the floor defense they are going to need to compete with top 20 teams. I'm still not convinced this is fixable. Not this season anyhow. One can hope ...

    Zeynep out for the year

    Looked very good, especially passing, which is priority.

    Lippy Invitational: Vanderbilt and Lipscomb September 5 & 6, 2025

    Sorry to say I agree with you. Not sure why she won't/can't swing freely and more effectively, but it just hasn't happened. Situational blocker maybe?

    Lippy Invitational: Vanderbilt and Lipscomb September 5 & 6, 2025

    They really need to find some offense from the right side. I thought Garr was excellent, although I was surprised she got the nod over Thibault (who has been playing really well this season). Is Crowl injured? I don't think she should be starting but I'm really surprised she has not played at...

    Zeynep out for the year

    Assuming she likes it here and/or at the U to spend a 5th year away from Turkey.

    Zeynep out for the year

    So I assume Thibault is now libero and Garr is top DS. Can't really call Acevedo a DS at this point.

    Zeynep out for the year

    This team could use some good fortune one of these seasons.

    Always nice to not be forgotten.

    Golden Gopher Invitational: Cal Poly, Ball State & St Thomas (Aug. 29, 30 & 31)

    I'm assuming that Noelle Van Oort for Ball State is Yvonne Wichert Van Oort's kid. So that's cool.

    Match 1: Gophers v Texas A&M in Sioux Falls 8-25-25

    Maybe I'm wrong (and I'm not going to doublecheck) but I believe Crowl had ONE block against TAMU. To be fair -- which I sometimes can be -- she only had 14 swings and blocking is a lot more than just block kills. Touches are important too. But I'm not rewatching to see how she did in that...

    Match 1: Gophers v Texas A&M in Sioux Falls 8-25-25

    TAMU service got better and better and Gophers went the opposite direction. Add that to too little offense and now yet another program has moved ahead of Minnesota. But I'll spare you the negativity. Sorry. Hope things turn around.

    Match 1: Gophers v Texas A&M in Sioux Falls 8-25-25

    Bad lineup choices IMO. But what do I know? No reason why TAMU should sideout at this % either.
