Dominating win against a team they needed to bury. Get rested up as Jacksonville State is winnable. Was a nice dominant win by USI. My wife and I were there but it was a small crowd, which is understandable since it’s during the weekday. Would like to see more fans tomorrow since most people will be off work. One thing we noticed is just the little improvements we have made since last season. I know the opponent was not very strong but the new coach has them making less self inflicted goofs like I saw many times last season. Glad we went with a new coach.

2 sweeps today looks good. Tomorrow will be a tough matchup though.

USI wins set 2….winning a set against a very good Bradley team shows how much this team has improved.

USI forces a 5th set. Can the ladies steal one here?
Almost pulled off an improbably win. Was up 16-16 in the 5th, but Bradley wins it 18-15. Not one for moral victories but this team is playing well.

Not one for moral victories but this team is playing well. I was there today and we had match point a few times but couldn’t get the final point. Bradley is 7-2 and we played them dead even. The improvement is very noticeable and I’m glad we changed coaches. on a separate note, I sat next to the dad of a Bradley volleyball player today. The first thing he told me was how nice the SEA was and how impressed he was with the facilities at USI. Btw, he was a former University of Iowa football player so he has been to some of the top college facilities and he went out of his way to let me know how much he liked the arena. I love to hear this from people from outside of Evansville that don’t have any preconceived opinions about USI.

That is great news about the Iowa dad saying at USI it really means a lot. I am from Evansville but live in NW Pennsylvania now and it always frustrated me that USI is a jewel to the city of Evansville and the tri-state area and people do not realize that.

Good opportunity tonight for the ladies to get win #5. I expect this match will go deep.

Tough loss against a very beatable opponent. The coach was visibly upset on the sidelines. Next up….undefeated Eastern Illinois.
