Unbelievable...actually, very believable...NSIC should just define national champ in conference tourney from now on.

The conference is unreal in volleyball. Just plain unreal. WSU was rated in the top 15 nationally and couldn't crack the top 8 in the region.

Wait til you see the final poll....there will be 8 or 9 NSIC teams in the poll (or receiving votes) and another 4 or 5 MIAA teams. Not only is the league tough, but so is the entire Region.

Re: CSP wins another VB national title

I said after the regional CSP would sweep all 3 matches 3-0 and they did.

CSP, SMSU, UMD, NSU -- and perhaps another team or 2 would have won the national title this

Re: CSP wins another VB national title

12 of the top 27 from the Central Region -- crazy.

Ark Tech coach venting on Twitter about dropping from 8 to 14 in the final due to "dropping a match to #2 in the country". One of those games was 25-9...

Re: CSP wins another VB national title

Congratulations to Concordia for an unbelievable run.

But I would like to see another NSIC team win the title.

Really? I'll have to go check that out. They had an undefeated regular season and barely made the regional tournament.

Were these deleted? It appears she is now an administrator at Emporia State, and I didn't see anything on her twitter feed about the AVCA poll.

12 of the top 27 from a single conference, the NSIC-- crazy.

Made an edit for you to help people truly understand how tough the NSIC is in VB.

fair complaint -- that's a big drop considering circumstances.

Less ridiculous that # 21 jumping to # 2 just because they made the finals and got throttled by CU -- if they were an NSIC unlikely they would have even made the regional, yet alone national finals.
