Albany really got hosed in the pairings this year. I haven't figured out why yet?

[SuperJon]

We got screwed. Sent all the way to Nebraska? C'mon now.

It didn't help your cause that the Sun Belt had 3 teams in the tournament. Highest ever. ;)

[WWII]

Albany is ranked (RPI) 48 of 64 teams in tournament. Get no. 2 Stanford in first round in California. I don't think anyone can come close to that hosing.

[Big Dawg]

FAMU gets Florida...I'm not expecting much this year as this is one of the weakest FAMU teams in LONG time.

BTW, the FAMU volleyball team hadn't lost a conference game in 10 years until earlier this season.

Was watching the game tracker of the WKU game, it was a good one. So was the MTSU vs. Miami (oh)

Totally forgot about the tournament game being played today. WKU was blazing hot going into the tournament winning 12 straight including the Sun Belt Tournament championship. It was the Toppers' 4th ever appearance and 2nd straight appearance in the NCAA Tournament. WKU became the 1st Sun Belt team to get an at-large berth last season and the Sun Belt had 3 teams this season. xthumbsupx

Florida International lost their game to Colorado State today so the Sun Belt is (1 - 2) in the tournament. Good luck MTSU the rest of the way.

Penn State (33-0) is the best team in the country. Yale (21-5) will have its hands full on Saturday.

NDSU falls 3-0 to Minnesota. Tough loss but I'm proud of our ladies who represented us in our first D1 national tournament appearance. xbowx

Especially since you had a tough time beating Ohio. Surprisingly though I am surprised how well LIU played. I know they only took in about 15 points a game, but take out a few service errors and hitting the net it could of been closer. Seeing LIU play this year they were not that big or that good. Yale might be able to steal a set and keep it close.

[wkuhillhound]

Yale succumbs to Penn State 0 - 3 and that was the last of the FCS in the women's volleyball tournament.

Stanford beats Albany in the 1st round 3 - 0 in the late game.

Yale succumbs to Penn State 0 - 3 and that was the last of the FCS in the women's volleyball tournament.

Penn State has won all 102 sets played this season. That's simply amazing.

Congratulations to the Yale volleyball team on a great season. Ivy Champs!
