We have had enormous success the past few years. Took some big graduation hits 2011. 2012 roster is listed and a lot of freshman with impressive looking bios. Anyone in the know--which freshman do you feel will have an impact? What is the buzz for the season?

It will be interesting to see if the recruiting keeps climbing the ladder. 5 regular season championships in 6 years and a 2nd place finish in the off year. I don't know that we've dominated another sport the way we have this one.

Opened the season in Hawaii with three losses against some tough teams. We put Viktoriia Stroilo on the all-tourney team. Weird thing is, she's not on the roster.

Samantha Brostrom playing minimal minutes lately. Does anyone one know if it is injury related???

[Dane Pound]

Bam! Live Stats is showing we beat UNH tonight. Nice win over the other undefeated team. PO'ed that I couldn't make the match tonight.

It's true and we were pretty dominant after the first game!

A chance to clinch a playoff spot tonight against SBU. No one better to do it against than the Seawolves.

Congratulations to the volleyball team on another AmEast regular season championship (5th in 7 years). With the players they lost to graduation. an extremely difficult OCS, a couple of tough late season conference defeats (@home to brook and @ umbc); they re-grouped to beat bingo on the road Sunday 11/4 and clinched last night. Congratulations and GOOD LUCK next weekend @ home in University Gym for the AmEast championships and onto the NCAAs again!!!!

After a close first game, VB runs UNH off the court 25-23, 25-15, 25-14.

 

Bing at 7:00 tomorrow for Albany's 7th title in last 9 years.

Disappointed with the loss tonight in the championship game although I realize how spoiled we've been with this program. A year removed from graduating our best class ever we still win the regular season title and lose in the championship game in a "rebuilding year."

[dslyank]

DP, I could not agree more. Pretty successful season in spite of the graduations {2012}. As for rebuilding, we lose another three quality seniors now; and I am not overly impressed with this years class. Hopefully, we can bring in a couple or three impact kids for 2013. Anyone know what is in the pipe line, now that we are in the early signing period?????
