RPI currently 35. Have to be in top 40 to even have a shot at an at-large. I didn't think a loss at this point (even in the final) would keep us above 40, but who knows.

Let's hope it doesn't come to that.
Ladyjacks sweep Cal Baptist to complete a spotless WAC regular season. CBU was game, but SFA is just too good and too deep. Humphries is allowing several freshmen to get plenty of court time lately, and they performed very well today.
Now, on the the WAC tournament.

Freshman, Caroline Kahle played the entire match at Libero. She was recruited for that, but this is the first time she has played there all season.
27-3 (16-0).

Was that just to give Hoang a break? I hope she isn't injured...
Regular season sweep. What a joy. After the last couple days of SFA athletics, I needed this.

I don't know for sure, but I believe it's to get Hoang some rest, and experience for Caroline.

SFA CLEANED up with all the conference awards! 2 on 1st team, 1 on 2nd team, 2 on Freshmen team, POTY & Coach of the Year. Wow wow wow!!!!!
Looking very shaky in the match vs. ACU. Pagan is having a terrible game. These ladies do not look sharp at all. Lots of unforced errors... Hope they pull it together.
They did.djsfw57 said:

Win and advance.
I watched it. It was hard at times. Glad they found a way to win.SFA88 said:They did.djsfw57 said:

UVU's coach looks like a Mafia boss.
He definitely does.SFA Jack Fanatic said:

If you didn't see the volleyball match vs Utah Valley, you should check it out on the ESPN app. It's worth watching the last set. I've never seen such a convoluted mess in my life. More STUFF happening than I've ever seen in a game.
PS We won! On to the championship match.

That game had me on the edge of my seat.
We gotta be ready for GCU. We played much better than last night. Gotta step it up some more. It's very difficult to beat a team 3 times!!
Why as the 1 seed are we playing the late match?
What a match. Wow.

This is exactly why I HATE postseason conference tournaments in one-bid conferences. We lose tonight and we probably don't get into the NCAA tournament, even after easily winning the regular season and 18 straight matches. This tournament makes no sense.
I would not right off a top 40 RPI team from getting an at large bid.SFA Jack Fanatic said:Pilotgirl said:

We definitely have the resume for an at-large. If we don't get in, I would really love to have explanation from the committee as to why not. We beat good teams in non-conf & ran through our conference.
Our issue is resume not ranking. If you look at the top 60 teams many of them have wins (several multiple wins) over top 50 teams. If you expand it to top 100, we're 3-3 in those games where most of the 20 teams after us have lots of top 100 wins. There are lots of good "at large" teams behind us. We cannot leave it up to a committee because schedule and history are not on our side.
At least it's #1 vs #2 like a championship should be. Let's go Ladyjacks!
Block has not been great this first set. GCU is getting hot. Debbie has been calling times and challenges as much as she can.
GCU dominated first set.
GCU dominated first set.
Ladyjacks finally are eking out a lead in the second. Moving their attack angles has helped.
Ladyjacks even the match with a solid second set. Not done yet.
This third set is crazy tight.
I really really wish we were the most rested team as the 1 seed for sets this tight.
GCU wins set 3 (2-1 GCU)
Ladyjacks were down 23-19 and successfully defended 4 match points from there. But they had two! service errors tied in extras. Those may cost the match.
Need two set wins in a row.
