Quick Note: Yesterday’s newsletter had a mistake that several of you caught. It was Cole Hartke who currently leads in nation for kills in a single match. Ryan Barnett “only” had 13 kills and 13 digs in the 5-set win against Lewis. They both had great matches but I messed up. If anyone ever finds an error (or just wants to say hi), feel free to reach out!
Number of the Day
6 - The season is young but right now we still have 6 teams that are undefeated. This doesn’t count teams that have not had their first match yet. Here are the teams: Long Beach, UC Irvine, UCLA, UMES, USC, and Belmont Abbey.
Yesterday’s Scores
I hope everyone is staying safe and as warm as possible out there. No volleyball yesterday because safety is more important.
Today’s Match Projections
Non-conference
Fort Valley State (18%) vs CSUN (82%)
Lees-McRae (25%) vs St. Thomas (FL) (75%)
Today is my favorite as 2 former division 1 players pivotal to their teams who became coaches are facing off in Northridge tonight. Doesn't happen often. Love it.
Funny but Belmont Abbey must have poor luck as only 1 match thus far...
