MIVA Championships

B-W at Ohio Stadium (Horseshoe) on the campus of The Ohio State University for the MIVA Championships
What a weekend of GREAT competition.  We played four of the top 10 teams in the Division I ranks over the weekend and despite the outcome, held our own (#2,3,4,7 and 25).  We played hard, with energy and despite missing an unexplained amount of serves, still were in most of the sets.  The highlight of the weekend was beating the University of Kentucky 25-13, 25-15 and hanging with the #2 ranked team and MIVA Champion Indiana University.  A few more practices and on to the NCVF National Tournament.

2nd Place in GMMVC

The men finished 2nd in the GMMVC over the weekend with crucial wins over Miami University and Ohio Northern University. The Yellow Jackets lost in the finals 13-15 in the deciding game to Grand Valley State University and now move on to the MIVA Championships at Ohio State this weekend. We are playing with a lot of positive energy and emotion as we prepare for the MIVA Championships and NCVF National Tournament.

Spring Break is over, home stretch

We had the best practice of the year following spring break! It was energetic, consistent and productive and if we play like the remainder of the season, we will be a tough team to beat! Practice resumes on Wednesday.

Long weekend at IU

When the snow finally cleared, we traveled to Indiana University for the annual Hoosier-Illini Classic.  It draws some of the best teams from around the country and is one of the most competitive tournaments in the nation.  We played averaged to say the least but lost 26-24, 26-24 to #6 St. Louis University.   We had leads in both games (23-19, 23-21) and couldn't close out the sets, but we will work in practice.  Spring Break time and then MIVA League Play.  Only a month left and we are ranked #7 in D-II.
