I know next to nothing about volleyball... How are these teams that we're playing?

We'll know more about these teams when the Bison press release comes out this week.

Illinois-Chicago was 15-16 last year, 6-10 in conference play last year. They also beat NDSU 3-1 and were 2-10 on the road. They are picked to be fourth in the Horizon League this year.

UTEP was 9-20 last year, 3-13 in conference play last year. They lost to NDSU 3-2 and were 0-11 on the road. They play in the C-USA and are expected to suck.

UNC was 10-20 last year, 8-8 in conference play last year. They lost to SDSU 3-2 and were 3-9 on the road. They are predicted to come in fifth in the Big Sky this year.

You've got to go watch vball, its fast, fun and exciting. The gals really play hard and sometimes they make these fantastic pancake saves (diving, hand flat on floor)!! An old but great vball venue at Bentson Bunker Fieldhouse, close to the court and a great view.

Great article on the Bentson-Bunker Fieldhouse in the Forum today.

I love this part
When the Bunkers donated $1 million in 1995 to rename the Physical Education Building, they insisted that Chuck Bentson’s name be used – and placed before their name.

“I asked Art, ‘But doesn’t Bunker Fieldhouse sound good?’” NDSU fundraiser Erv Inniger told the volleyball players.

“And I said, ‘Do you want the million dollars or not?’” Art Bunker said.

“Bentson-Bunker sounds good to me,” Inniger said.

Art and Noreen Bunker sound like they are old school in the best possible way!

I've been to one or two games at Iowa State (vs. an amazing Nebraska team) and they were pretty fun. We could've reached out and touched the servers before they'd serve. I just can't get into it as much as say a basketball or football game...

Noreen Bunker is a wonderful sweet old lady, but Art Bunker looks like he's about to kick off at any moment.

Should be a good time out there this weekend. I am going to do a classic Bison Doubleheader with Volleyball at 4 then heading over to the football game after that. Might even bring a broom for the Bison Sweep!

What?? I'm just saying he's really old. We can only hope to be like Art Bunker one day, God willing. It means a good, long life awaits us.

And my parents are very proud of me, thank you.:)

SOunds like a good crowd and a loud band were on hand. Too band the team couldn't take it to 4 or 5 games.

It was a bad week for the Summit overall. All together, we went 5-13 as a conference since Monday. With 16 matches today, here's hoping a better week starts now.

Matchups.

Coach H is also playing what seems like a different lineup every game to give the girls different looks at different positions.

NDSU will be tough once he finds one and settles for conference play.

JLo had a double double with 17 assists, 13 digs, and she also hit a team leading .474 clip.

I stand corrected, J-Lo had a triple double, her second of the day.

"Lopez, a freshman from Glyndon, Minn., had 23 assists, 14 kills and 19 digs in the four-set win over UTEP. She followed with 17 assists, 21 kills and 13 digs in the championship match against Northern Colorado."

This kid is amazing. Rewrite the record books!!!

Second straight week, she's the MVP of a tournament.

We were at the UNC match and it was a good battle, both teams played hard and we get the W, great vball... My 9th grader said in high school the coach only has one setter, here in D1 everyone can set to anyone, what a huge difference in theories. I like the idea that whoever gets the pass they set it, not like in HS where the setter is running around like a chicken with their head cut off.
