Was WIU the team the NDSU blew away the 1st 2 games, and then Coach Hinterstock said he have his players a really good half time speach and they almost got beat!!

Go Bison!!!

Isn't WIU also supposed to be a tough place to get wins at? Should be a great test.

Their gym is a decent place, a bit older than the BSA and
newer than BBF, with seat-backed chairs, if I remember correctly.
It seemed to be fan friendly, though it
is a short hike to the concession stand.

WIU has averaged 268 fans for their 10 home matches so far this season. That sure doesnt sound like a tough environment to play.

volleyball team doesnt play in the large gym, they bought a sport court and moved to a smaller gym that only holds 400-500 people, so 300 people can be loud; also heard that their fans can get intense and can really rattle the opponents, last season the bison complained that they couldnt hear bc of the fans and the band; its not the number of fans in the seats but the noise that they make; regardless, the Bison will sweep Western; Western doesnt always have the best players, but they find a way to compete at the top of the league, this year they are down but they will be a force in future seasons

Interesting take. We couldn't sweep Western at home, why do you think we'll sweep them at their place?

i think the bison will sweep bc they will be ready to clinch a bid and retain their #1 ranking, i dont think the #7 western team will be able to stop them, at the most western may take a game, but it will be a close one; they couldnt stop Knuth last time and dont think they will be able to the 2nd time around; going to be watching the live stats, go bison

Hope you're right. I thought that too after the first two games last time, then they came back and looked like a totally different team the next two games.

Bison sweep the Westerwinds on Halloween, 25-20, 25-22, 25-22.

Jennifer Lopez had 11 kills on only 18 attempts, 23 assits and 12 digs.

Congratulations on a nice road win, ladies.

It's nice to see a resurgent interest in volleyball at Bisonville as the season comes to a climax.

While a sweep is always sweet, this was not an easy win for the Bison.
I think the WIU write-up makes that clear:

Here's the clincher:

"North Dakota State sits on top of the conference for a reason and in tonight’s match we saw their offensive strengths and consistent ability to finish games,” Western Illinois head coach Kym McKay said.

Hope the Bison can do as well tonight vs. IUPUI.

On the sports show on WDAY Saturday morning, Coach Hinterstocker mentioned that at the Western Illinois match on Friday, all of a sudden a group of people in Holloween costumes showed up and sat behind the Bison bench. It wasn't until Pete showed up that they realized that it was the soccer team. They had played Western Illinois that afternoon. Erick said that he owes Pete one for that. Really a neat story on how the athletes support each other
