The ladies get under way with the regular season at 130 today vs UNI, at the Green Bay Invitational. Unfortunately, it looks like ESPN+ will only carry Green Bay's matches, so the opener isn't available to watch.

Fortunately, the ladies take on Green bay at 7pm tonight, and that will be available on ESPN+.

Really looking forward to seeing the UIC transfers integrated into the attack. Hicks, Tanchin, and Hinze make for a great OH rotation, just curious to see what Jen does in the middle.

Obviously Tidd will have a role, and I'm expecting Glover to paly a big role. She's a 2nd team all Horizon player and offers the most proven results.

Curious to see how much, if at all, Jen goes to a 2 setter look. If she does, freshman Raegan Reilly will have a big role.

Excited for the season to get under way.

NDSU was picked to finish 5th in the coaches poll again this year. All 4 of the top teams return their big guns, with a few super seniors coming back (none of NDSUs possible super seniors return). 5th is a fair pick, but my hope is the UIC transfers make a big early impact and the ladies move up to the top 4.
