are playing great. Three Freshman, Miller, Monson, and Hamilton have all made nice contributions. Their fall schedule still has Pitt (0-2 swept by Syracuse) and BC (0-2 just swept by L'Ville). They also might make up the missed L'ville match, but given the championship will be next year, maybe not.

Crazy that Cuse/ND were #5 vs #6. I find the national rankings pretty absurd given they are only ranking the 4 conferences playing volleyball this fall and one of them, the SEC, hasn't even started playing yet. The conferences who haven't played yet accounted for 29 of the 32 teams that won a match in the 2019 tourney and 26 of the top 30 RPI last year, so lots of good teams are not included in the ranking. Cuse had a 94 RPI at the end of last year, but it's high AVCA national ranking was based on sweeping the ACC's best team last year Pitt (RPI #5). ND was more competitive last year (RPI 36) but have improved from then. We will see if they can end on top of the ACC after the fall, but I'd ignore their ramkings until all the teams are included.


Question, anyone know what's up with Sydney Bent?

All ACC freshman team, ACC 2nd team the next 2 years, pre-season All-ACC this year, yet she has hardly played. Is this an injury situation or some other physical problem or have the freshmen been that good?
