Saw on the social media today that Nebraska-Kearney is aiming to break 4,000 for the Sept. 6th matchup with Peru St, take back the attendance record from Anchorage.
Central Washington and Cal St LA both bring back a lot of talent, and seem like they should be the leaders out west with WWU and Anchorage both losing some key players, although I'd never rule out either of those programs. Interested to see how Central matches up with some NSIC teams at the tournament in Duluth. Western will get a shot at Concordia in Denver that week too.Comment

Western Washington got 33 votes at 0-8, which is unique whether it's justified or not. Played a tough schedule, competed with Concordia. Central Washington swept Duluth and beat St. Cloud this week. Those two meet in Ellensburg Thursday night, the GNAC streams for free on YouTube which makes it easy to watch. Suspect Central takes this one, but it's probably still the top two teams in the conference by the end of the year.Comment

What a joke? Sorry, they have won something like 3 sets all season. Even playing that level of competition, you actually need to beat some teams at some point.Originally posted by D2Rover View PostComment
