Re: G-MAC All-Sports and Conference Business Thread

Alright Buckeye, I know you will be around the next few days - so here goes, just announced CU incoming players:

Sami Gibbs -5-8 OH/utility player from Dumfries, VA
Lauren Willow - 5-11 MH/OH from Arlington, OH
Autumn Foust - 5-6 Libero from College Station, TX
Lindsey Bray - 5-8 Setter from Louisville, KY
Sierra Schuitema - 5-8 Setter from Grant, MI

Any thoughts? Looks like they aren't going for height this year. No need to respond right away - we can get through the tournament first. I just knew you would be around to see it.

I will look into them. Haven't seen a press release from CU yet so I will have to do some research. The only one that I know is Willow. She is a legit stud! Had several high level DI looks as well! That is a big get for Coach Walters.

Also, in reference to the height. He really does not have to replace much height next year with a setter, libero, 5-10 OH, and a 6-1 middle departing. There is a ton of talent in his senior class though. I have seen Willow play though in club, and I can tell you that she plays much bigger than 5-11. Easily touches over 10 feet on her approach!

Thanks Buckeye. If you go on the VB team Instagram or Twitter page, it lists the girls' clubs. No other details though.

It's Cedarville vs. D&E in the volleyball championship today at 2:30! Certainly not the final that I was expecting, but it should still be a pretty good one. Cedarville beat them in three sets a couple of weeks ago, but each set was pretty close! They have a ton of championship experience on their roster though while this is D&E's first ever appearance in the final. Will that play a factor? Best of luck to both teams!!!!

Good day in FL and OH.

Didn't get to see the volleyball final, but it looks like it was a good one! Congrats to Cedarville! I think they have the potential to make some noise in the NCAA.

Cedarville volleyball avoids the dreaded #8 seed by coming in at #7 and will play the #2 seed Findlay in the first round of the NCAA tournament. They went 1-1 with Findlay this year with each team winning on their respective home courts! Should be a good one!

The magic carpet ride has ended. I missed the game due to a HS soccer game, but it looks like they were pretty much dominated tonight. Great run Lady Jackets!

You would be correct. It looked like they just did not have anything left after giving it their all against Findlay. Their serve receive was really bad so they could not get any offense going! It was a great run for CU and Coach Walters. They definitely proved that they belong at the regional and finished in the top 4 in the Midwest Region! That is quite a feat for one of the toughest regions in the country. Even with all of the GLIAC schools joining next year, I am going to go out on a limb and say that Cedarville will be my preseason #1. It was going to be Findlay, but CU went 2-1 against them this year! Quite the showing for that team!
