Volleyball is playing Sacred Heart and Dartmouth today. In Irvine, CA. We got blown out by the host Anteaters last night. I know we have to get exposure where the talent is and the California kids probably want to play some games in their home state, but this is a very expensive trip to get trounced and then play two teams from our backyard.

If volleyball alums are paying it forward (backward?) into the CAF so the current players can have a fun trip to enjoy and be motivated by, that's kind of cool. I don't know if that's a factor but it would make for a nice tradition.

I don’t think there’s much time to enjoy the sun and fun of Cal - after todays one-sided loss to that powerhouse SHU it’s on to the Dartmouth match and then the long trip back - have to agree the timing of this trip might not have been the best

We were shut out by Dartmouth 3-0 and scored only 8 points in the 2nd set - licking our wounds and heading back home to keep practicing

Why do they play volleyball indoors in the late summer/fall instead of winter? Facilities management and scheduling?

Why do they play volleyball indoors in the late summer/fall instead of winter? Facilities management and scheduling? Water Polo is another weird one with it being a fall sport for Men and winter/spring for Women. Like volleyball, it's a facilities issue. A lot of schools would struggle to fit men's water polo, women's water polo, men's swimming, and women's swimming into one available facility.

Don’t follow volleyball but an interesting read on a new recruit from Idaho. www.mtexpress.com/sports/bailey-signs-nli-to-play-volleyball-at-holy-cross/article_2655f4ea-6069-11ed-b83a-1b0d0950783b.htmlBailey received a call from Colpoys and was offered her first D1 scholarship. As excited as Bailey was, she did not accept the offer right away. She had only taken one campus trip and asked the coach if she could hold off until seeing the University of Virginia. “I ended up not getting the same feeling at UVA that I had at Holy Cross,” she said. In the midst of the UVA trip and before verbally committing to Holy Cross, Bailey was given another offer from George Washington University in Washington, D.C.

Wonder if ADKH makes a coaching change after today’s finale at AU - only a super incoming class should save her given a winning pct about .100 - interest in VB has been increasing nationally so this program should not be ignored

Nice story and I still have four free articles left at the Idaho Mountain Express. Thanks. I assumed HC did not offer volleyball scholarships but when D-1 offer is mentioned does that infer a partial athletic scholarship or more of a recruited non-scholarship guaranteed roster spot?

That has to help her cause.

Uh, not if you played ten years of CYO basketball and attended and rooted for your high school, college and local NBA basketball teams. There is no New England major league volleyball team for kids to grow up with. Volleyball has action and is exciting but it doesn't hold my interest like BB and FB.
