Given those figures, it looks like UAlbany is rated the top team in the Northeast. I'm not sure if we have ever had such a high ranking in any Division I sport for our region.

 

Go, Danes!

If teams play up to potentional, it will make for one hell of a thanksgiving tournament in California.

 

Nov. 24, (Fri.), UC-Santa Barbara++, 3:00

 

Nov. 25, (Sat.), at Long Beach State++, 6:00

 

++Baden Thanksgiving Tournament (Long Beach, Calif.)

 

 

Both opponents + UA in the others reciving votes category!

I think ND is considered northeast because of BE league affiliation.

Why doesn't Volleyball play in the RACC?

Setup won't interfere with basketball practice; more lines on the RACC floor would make the BB court look cheesy; but mostly, the more intimate setting makes a more exciting feel to a VB match. So far we haven't even filled one side of University Gym, until both sides are filled for every match I wouldn't even think of using the RACC. If the 3-second lane BB markings could be made less conspicuous it'd be good if they would repaint the gym floor.

1. Volleyball has their own home - I think they like it that way!

 

2. When is the media department going to get on the ball and update the v-ball web page? There are updates to the coaches' bios - including some coaching changes.

 

3. Good luck this season - we back you all the way!!!
