We beat W&M today in three straight sets 25-22,25-17 and a close third set 25-23. W&M was tied with Towson for first place coming in at 6-2 in the CAA. A very impressive showing for us after floundering a bet in our last few games. Shows we could be one of the best teams in this conference.

still say we are the second best team in the conference
its a long season

We beat W&M yesterday in three sets by scores of 25-17,25-20 and 25-21. There really wasn't much of a doubt here who the better team was yesterday. Now we're tied in the standings with W&M both of us at 6-4 and we should be taking some momentum into the coming weeks matches.

Key match on the road with Delaware
need to at least split the series
the schedule eases up after this
See us going 12-6 in conference
will put us at third
If we somehow beat Delaware twice then we win out and go 14-4 and are second to Towson

We win the first two sets and what was a golden opportunity to move up in the standings we let slip away losing three straight sets to lose the match 3-2. Scores were 28-26, 25-22, 21-25, 20-25 and 15-17. Mansur must have been beside herself with disappointment after taking the first two sets. It clearly was a battle and we'll see how we respond in the game today whether we can rebound and win today. A young team that is getting battle tested.

We lose the second game in three sets 25-21,25-22 and 25-15. We were very competitive until the third set. Disappointing since we were in the drivers seat on Saturday and should have won that match.

We sweep Campbell in 3 sets today at home scores were 25-19,25-23 and 25-22. We had never played them before and they had a better conference record then we had at 9-3 coming in. A strong win for us.

[stuball888]

Yes but we must play well tomorrow
Sunday has not been kind to us

[triplec2195]

So after losing the first set 16-25 we win the 2nd set 25-21 lose the 3rd set 23-25 then win the next two sets 25-18 and 15-12. What a marathon we beat the 3rd place team twice and wind up in a tie for 4th in the CAA with Northeastern. We're very much in the thick of things right now.

How far the once mighty have fallen. What has happened to this program? Even Emily Mansur doesn't have the answers as they lose two games last week to COC the second game another 5 set loss now they're 1-6 in 5 set matches as they lose to Stony Brook yesterday. Scores were 22-25,25-16,16-25, 25-21, and 12-15. We're now on the outside looking in trying to make the tournament.

Watched a couple of sets on tv, I know little about real volleyball at that level so far be it from me to critique - thought they made lots of mental errors and seemingly basic mistakes that gave it away IMO

Young squad I believe (?) so I imagine that’s part of their growth. Hate losing to SBU in anything, hopefully they take big strides forward.

Seemed like a decent vocal crowd and I do like how they have the facility looking.
