The Hens beat four-time defending CAA champion Towson yesterday in volleyball. With the win, Delaware snapped a 14-match losing streak against Towson. The Hens are now 9-2 and having a great year.

Re: Volleyball
They extended their win streak to 13 games. Very nice season. Good luck to the Hens in the tournament.
Re: Volleyball
congrats on the successful season . good luck in the playoffs Lady Hens
I decided to google the present MV rankings to evaluate our team. We're ranked #64 which is quite(very) impressive. I proceeded to check out the overall quality of our OOC record as well as CAA results. I was disappointed to view the quality of competition we faced( no team was ranked above us) though the players have no say in the schedule they are presented. I would hope the coach and the others involved in next year's schedule selection process(outside of the CAA) will add more challenging teams/tournaments. If we want to attempt to move up in the rankings and recruits even more quality players, this will necessitate a new perspective.
The analogy between football and volleyball stands out. The same goes for bball. Possibly a new FBS? move could eliminate my concern-JMHO- devil's advocate- FBS independent status would let US determine our competition.

Re: Volleyball
Of all people with attitude Pat-you should know what that sports boards are for-opinions/discussion- you clearly missed my point. You've been hurling insults recently left and right. If that's your thing-kinda like the Stones "Street Fighting Man"- well, just keep hurling dude. Anger Management issues?

Re: Volleyball
It's not a insult, being way too sensitive. It's just the same thing over and over. We get it, no need to kick a horse when it's down.tenn hen wrote: ↑Mon Nov 13, 2023 5:27 pm Of all people with attitude Pat-you should know what that sports boards are for-opinions/discussion- you clearly missed my point.

hey pal- reread my post which is clearly a positive one with a strong ounce of reality included. That's similar to many of our sports teams "strength of schedule" list of opponents. Maybe you need to take off your rose colored glasses! If you're not capable of accepting reality, well, it's your problem.
again- good luck Lady Hens tonight-
BTW- check out the UD athletics site for a great recap of this season's accomplishments.
