This was an amazing point.

Tech beat RV Iowa State on the road. That helps the SFA RPI.

RPI drops five spots to 42 thanks to our bad SLC competition. The next best RPI in the SLC is Sam at 139. Rice dropped six spots to 15. Also poor competition in the C-USA.

In the coaches poll, SFA is up to 23 points putting them at 29th.

Aided by five service errors, Ladyjacks take the first set 25-22.

Good crowd. Pep band. Cheerleaders.

Nice 7-0 start to the second. Guess they decided the first was too close.

Ladyjacks in first place alone in conference at 7-0 after Sam loses on the road to A&M-Corpus in four. Sam and NSU tied for second at 6-1.

Behind them are five teams tied at 4-3, including SLU, our Saturday opponent.

This is the most timid I've seen SFA play this year at least through the first set and a half. All soft touches and finesse. We need some power to put away this game.

Setting has not been good.

Well after that 12-12 tie we go 13-5 to win set two behind much crisper play.

SFA! Just killing it against all odds in that first set to keep their set streak alive.

8-0 at the midpoint of the season. One game ahead of Sam and NSU. Our next three are on the road at UCA Thursday, at NSU Saturday, and at home on Halloween against Sam. UCA is down this year, but Conway is a long bus ride away. Can't look past the team we beat for the championship last year. RPI for the next three are 254, 172, and 139.

We have months ago made plans, so we won't be able to make this one. If you can, go. It should be an amazing atmosphere. You might want ear plugs.

RPI up one spot to 41. Rice steady at 15.

Next best SLC:

Sam - 141
A&M-Corpus - 149
HBU - 153
NSU - 155

These are four of our remaining eight matches. All except Sam on the road. We did comfortably sweep Corpus at home. They will be better on their home court..

Up to 35 points in the coaches poll. This ties us for 27th with Louisville. Just ahead of Michigan and USC. Heady company.

Because of our balance, we don't get much individual recognition. Maddie has been very solid all season, and extremely consistent in quality of play.

Louisville plays Pitt Both are ranked ahead of us. I believe. If we can stay unbeaten, a loss by Louisville would Open the door to us being ranked.

During Debbie Humphrey's press conference I heard that UCA (tournament host) is in danger of not making the tournament.

Shouldn't the conference have a "bail out clause" in the case that the tournament host fails to qualify.... allowing a short bid process (next day) to determine alternative host site (school). Am I looking at this to narrowly?

I understand where you are coming from. I suspect it would be a logistics challenge if the predetermined host team got eliminated in the last game. Eight teams and supporters would have to change travel plans, hotels, etc. on short notice.

Makes sense. Probably a real mess if you don't have time to book hotels etc.

Bracket with the highest seed hosting seems to be the best route. Gives the higher seeded team a solid advantage by not having to travel and play at a "potentially hostile" venue although my guess is that Shelton is the only "hostile" venue in the conference.
