They played great. That swing in the second was the back breaker. On with the road trip!

Big 3-1 road win at NSU. 20-25, 25-20, 25-15, 27-25

19-2 on the year. Road trip to UIW on Thursday before a big visit to UCA on October 16.

Up one spot. RPI dropped to 67 from 47. This will continue to happen even while winning due to the poor SLC teams. UCA is next best at 139.

I still maintain that adding the trio of HBU UIW and Abilene was a complete and large mistake. Only Abilene makes sense. UIW and HBU can spend millions flying to Cal St Bakersfield, UTRGV, Utah Valley St etc. We don't need them.

Relative to volleyball, HBU and ACU have the third and fifth best rpi in the conference. They aren't good, but are much better than Nicholls and SLU which are in the bottom eight percent in the country.

SFA cruised through the first set 25-18 against UIW. Decent video feed for those interested.

Second set a little tougher with too many mistakes. 26-24 (2-0).

17 in a row. First in NCAA D-1 to 20 wins and one of only 9 to be unbeaten on the road. And they didn't seem to bring their A-Game tonight. This group is really something special.

At the press conference on Monday, Humphreys said it was the time of the season for some of the new girls to contribute. Danae Daron has been a starter all season and did not play. Xariah Williams, a significant contributor in several matches, did not play. Redshirt freshman Lauren Wright started and played two sets. Freshman Neena Perdue played in two sets. There are still nine conference games to go and coach is working on depth for the 7-0 Ladyjacks.

The next match is a big one in Conway on Tuesday. UCA, Sam, and Abilene Christian are all behind the Ladyjacks in second place with 5-1 records. Each of them play very winnable matches on Saturday.

ACU, Sam, and UCA won as expected to go to 6-1 in conference. All are one game back of 7-0 SFA.

Tuesday in Conway is big. UCA is playing really good volleyball.

Their two losses were on a neutral court. I used the wrong term. Should have said unbeaten in "away games".

Got it. I wondered about that.

Huge four set win in Conway. 25-23, 25-19, 20-25, 25-23

That was hard fought. It seemed like UCA was gaining momentum through the match, but a nice stop by the Ladyjacks.

Ladyjacks are now 8-0 in conference, ahead of 7-1 Sam and ACU, and 6-2 UCA. Eight conference games left.

Although Sam and ACU are playing well, UCA is the second best team in the SLC and SFA has beaten them twice. Sam and ACU finish their season playing each other, then on the road at UCA and SFA.

It isn't over until it is over, but the Ladyjacks are in great shape to win conference. They need to avoid the WTH match, but I believe this team is too driven to let that happen. Humphreys will keep them focused, and the situation allows her to work on developing depth and providing key rest and recovery where needed.

A 3-1 win at home against UNO was tougher than expected. It sounds like our girls were a little tired and not particularly focused. Used our depth to close them out.

Sam, UCA, and ACU all won so no change in the standings.

Make that 20 straight first time since 2006.

23-2: 10-0

Standings remain the same with all of the top four winning. Next two on the road at McNeese and Lamar.

Just keep winning. SLC is a one bid league, so a better RPI won't get an at-large, but it might help with a better first round match. Volleyball only seeds the top 16 with the rest being placed largely regionally.

Must win the conference tournament.

Gotta love coach Humphreys. Right to the point. No fluff.

UCA wins to stay two games back. ACU loses at HBU in four to drop to two back. Sam wins in five at A&M- Corpus to stay one game back.

Ladyjacks at Lamar on Saturday. A big, purple out game against Sam at Shelton on Thursday. That should be a rowdy one.

Great stuff. Tournament is all that matters now.

Almost. Still need to finish to win conference. These ladies getting their rings does matter.

Yep. Back to back champs is nice to put on your banner.
