Semi Finals A10
SLU took a set off VCU on Oct 28th. SLU is better today, but it will take their best match to win. I have noticed VCU does not play well from behind. They get a little rattled so if SLU can come out and get some separation early they have a chance.
We should sweep LaSalle for the third time. We didn’t play all that great last weekend, but got the job done anyway. I expect us to be more focused and razor sharp. This is an important match. We beat LaSalle and we are dancing no matter what happens with VCU. I trust the team knows this and will come ready to play from first serve.
We are sitting at rpi 33 Sat morning. I think the best we can do going into selection Sunday is 31/32. I expect us to be around 33/34. Our SOS is currently 42. It’s been as low as 55 in the middle of conference play. We have strong opponents that will continue to play next week while we are done. Even if we finish 2nd in the conf tourney and our rpi drops to high 30s, the opponents still playing are from the tough conferences because they don’t have conference tournaments, and they should pull our rpi back up to 33/34 range.

VCU up 1-0 with a 25-22 set win. SLUs coach got a yellow card late, but it was the 7 VCU blocks that was the difference. If SLU can clean up their swings and tip when the block is set, they can win the second. We’ll see how the bounce back...or not.

VCU led by 10 in the 3rd. They were up 11-19 and they bring in their second string setter. SLU starts going after VCUs freshman Libero and she struggles. Itnow tied 22-22. SLU serving.

VCU won 25-23. SLU fought back in the third. I do wonder how safe Millers job is? They started 1-13. Their last championship was 2008. Miller has been there 8 years. He’s gotten good players. Had some injuries ( but so has UD) and he just hasn’t been able to get them over the hump.

UD up 1-0 taking set 1 25-20. They are stacking the defense to shut down Lauren and Alli. Everyone else is hitting well to make up for it. It’s a smart game plan but it’s pick you’re poison, etc. go Flyers

Las wins the third 24-26. First time they have taken a set from Dayton since 2006. We will see how UD responds. We need to take control and slam the door shut. Go Flyers.
