VCU II Thread
Another tough match on Friday. VCU on their home court. And you know they will be gunning for us. Gotta bring the A-game to win this one. With 5 teams bunched together at 6-3 for 2nd place in the A-10, every match is that much more important to teams in that bunch - VCU included. And of course they all want to knock off Dayton sitting at the top of the A-10 by 2 matches. (And I think Duquesne is surging here at the end of the year. They could be dangerous come A-10 Tourney time.)
Go Flyers! Bring It!

So much for my prediction, 5 set match. Figured it would be a slugfest but either VCU forgot the match started or Dayton means business.
Very impressive first set, but still need to win two more.

Well 2nd set woes sitting in. Horsman calls timeout trailing 11-6. A little too over confident after set one.

Everytime UD got within one they had a serve error. Either VCU woke up or Dayton forgot it was best of 5. Still may go 5 sets less of course Dayton spent all they had in first set.

Dayton 25-19 in set 3. Premium contentt with one camera and no announcer
Daytone playerd flawless in set one then reverted to their error prone ways. Still a "W" is a "W"
Like so many basketball venues there is little to distinguish the line markers. Hard for serves.

Wow VCU is stuffing our middles. Getting nothing there. Too many serve errors, and poor passing. Sets not that good, at least not like the first set. TO trailing 16-11 in set 4. Guess my prediction for 5 sets is so far fetched after all.

Trailing 19-14 UD has clawed back down 19-17. TO VCU
Dayton comes back to win a hard one 28-26 and take the match 3-1. Whew

Winning on the road in the A10 isn't that easy, at least this year, so congrats to the ladies for gutting this win out. Would have been good for the egos to have 3 sets all at 10 but nice to see the fight, and definitely good to see that Jenna and Z blocked the last point for the win. BIG hurdle overcome tonite. They had 3 tough matches left (sorry for no political correctness ; ), and now have Duquesne at home and SLU on the road left. Win even 1 of those, and they wrap up #1 in the conference. Go Flyers!!

This is correct. We have "one match to give" and can still win the A-10 outright. I'm hoping we don't "use" that one-match to give. Need to bring it every match and close teams out in preparation for the A-10 Tourney where you have nothing to give if your destination is the NCAAs. Gotta beat the good teams and that's what we did against VCU. Take care of Davidson and LaSalle -- and take it to SLU on the road and Duquesne at home and we will be ready to battle for the bid to the NCAAs at home in Frericks.
GO FLYERS. BRING IT!
