Saturday Match Projections

Another Saturday full of sports!

Fairleigh Dickinson Athletics

Three Intriguing Matches

1. Belmont Abbey at Barton - The volleyball world isn’t talking enough about Barton. This would be a major upset if they can defeat the conference leader, but Barton’s rise this season has been outstanding. Keep an eye on this team.

2. Daemen at Saint Francis - Round 1 went to the home team, Saint Francis in four. I would be surprised if round 2 doesn’t go at least 4 sets today. The NEC is putting out excellent volleyball and it is worth your time. Who doesn’t love a rematch?

3. Loyola at McKendree - If you have read the VBelo Report recently, then you know I love the parity in the MIVA. It’s fantastic and produces some of the most electric volleyball in the country. These two teams are real contenders, so every conference match matters.
