Volleyball Home Matches

[BisonNation11]

Went to my first match this season and first in about 8 years. I really like what they've done with the BBF. Looks nice in there. On to the match. Bison were the better team last night and it wasn't ever really in doubt. Failed to get a program so putting names to faces/numbers isn't easy. Libero and setter are extremely fun to watch. I believe both are upper classman. We have some younger front row players that definitely have the skill but need the games to bring about the experience needed to play more calm. Fun bunch to watch and if we ever have the opportunity to go back, we definitely will. I really enjoy Coach Lopez. Great communicator, full of energy and she seems very relatable to the players. Most impressive thing about her is her ability to emulate digs on the sidelines with heels on. People have a hard time moving like that in athletic shoes let alone heels. She has a great fire in her and a passion for the game, so I hope that NDSU keeps her around. Obviously we have no idea what her ability to recruit is (don't know what her role in that was in her time as an assistant) but if you can teach the game, you can teach anyone.

JLo has the team moving in right direction. Team is playing well also. Go Bison

With the victory NDSU raises it’s season record to 13-5, 4-2 Summit. The Bison have won seven of eight home matches. The Bison host Western Illinois (6-14, 1-4 SL) at 1 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 15.

Am encouraged the recruiting class stayed with Coach Lopez and that freshmen are contributing.
Don’t think they lost any of the recruits from last winter and spring (?) so it makes the transition much smoother.
A couple examples include 6’ 1” FR Allie Mauch with 9 kills, 3 blocks in the Omaha match and 6’ 2” FR Bella Lien with 7 kills, 3 blocks.

Great set of comments! Yes, the freshman talent is really promising.

USD takes the match today at the BBF in 3 sets. All 3 sets were 2 point margins. The Bison definitely didn't look as sharp today as they have played lately. Have to give credit to USD, they earned the win.

They didn't look sharp in warm ups and it carried to the game. Was entertaining to watch though. Service errors really hurt today. Quite a few mental mistakes when play broke down as well.

Question for anyone who has gone to a game recently. Is seating considered all general admission or do you sit where your seats are assigned?
