Senior Night win for the Rainbow Warriors. (VBelo Report | T.J. Breshears)

We had TWO 30-kill performances yesterday. Their arms might be tired late in the season, but there is no quit in these players!

  • Alendy Sincoul - 30 kills (.279%) - A season and career high

  • Jalen Phillips - 34 kills (.400%) - The most kills in a single-match by any player this season!


Latest RPI


Conference Tournaments

Several conferences wrapped up their regular seasons yesterday. This means that we know a few of the conference tournament brackets already. I will be putting out round-by-round projections for these tournaments as we get closer to them. For now, here is a little bit of what we know.

The Volleyball Recap has been putting out fantastic graphics all season and some of the conference tournament graphics below are no exception. You should probably go follow them. Seriously. I’ll wait.

Conference Carolinas

Mount Olive completed the first-ever undefeated conference season in Conference Carolinas history! To say they are the heavy favorites to get that Automatic Qualification for the national tournament is an understatement.

Fun fact: no tie-breakers were needed for this seeding because every team had a different conference record.

ECC

The ECC has not released their official bracket yet, but I feel pretty good about this educated guess.

Roberts Wesleyan and Dominican split their season series, but RWU has the advantage in sets won in those matches. The ironic part is that it doesn’t really matter because they were going to play each other regardless and the location was already set.

MIVA

The conference tournament I have been waiting for all year! Words can’t describe how excited I am for these matches.

Loyola and McKendree split their season series, but Loyola has the advantage in sets won in those matches. The same is true for Ohio State over Lewis and Queens over Quincy for the 8th and final spot in the MIVA tournament.

SIAC

The SIAC has not released their official bracket yet, but I feel pretty good about this educated guess.

The inaugural SIAC tournament was double-elimination and I loved it. I know this makes more sense, but I still miss it.

The NEC knows it 4 teams for the tournament as does the EIVA know its 6 teams but there are still seeds to determine as well as where the tournament will be played.
