11-8 Missouri in the 5th set. Timeout UNI.

UNI ends one of the greatest seasons in MVC volleyball history with a 30-3 record losing a 5 set match to Missouri tonight in Cedar Falls.

Not the results we were looking for obviously. Hopefully this doesn't effect things in the future when trying to get more than a couple if bids. It shouldn't because womens sports are so dominated by the bigger schools it isn't even funny and these things happen

Minnesota defeats Creighton 3-0.

Good showing. It'd be nice if BU can finally become competitive in volleyball since the MVC is a fairly well respected league nationally.

BU hired their new coach yesterday, Jenny Maurer from Lehigh. While her DI record is below .500 she did have an astounding prep record and she took over a winless non-scholly program and improved W-L each of her 3 seasons there, capping with a .500 mark this season.

So while on the surface the hire may seem underwhelming, it could be a cheap, effective hire.

Time will tell.

it would definitely be nice to see Bradley become more competitive on the volleyball court.
