ND lost 1st set 25-22 (I believe), but handled 2nd and 3rd (both 25-19).

Miami came out blazing in the 4th and built an 12-3 lead. Along the way Freshman Blocker Grace Langer landed on fellow Freshman Gaerte's foot and appeared to have a bad ankle roll. She was able to limp off but never returned. ND tried to rally getting within 5 at 12-7 and 13-8 but Miami closed strong winning 25-13.

5th and final Set had Miami take the lead, and hold up to 12-9. ND reeled out 3 straight to tie it at 12 but Miami scored the last 3 to win 15-12.

Gaerte was the star for the Irish along with some beautiful 2nd touch kills by Sr. setter Schrader.

After the 3rd set I was predicting an ND hat-trick of M Soccer (up 1-0 with time ticking down), VBall, and Hockey (up 3-1). Sadly only hockey would old on for the W.

Tough loss. I thought when Monson made that kick volley when

it was 12-9 in the fifth to start that 3 point run we were destined to win. Then they call timeout and get the last 3. This team is scrappy but they are goin to need to have a big win over one of the teams picked 4-7 to make the NCAA tourney. So far they have 3-2 losses to both Miami (picked #7) and Georgia Tech (picked #4), Next shot is at preseason #5 FSU that starts in 70 minutes at 1pm Eastern. Go Irish! Beat Noles!

Looking to be another good one. 1-1 after two

Monson with another fantastic dig to save a point en route to the second set win.

Glad to see Langer is playing today

Yes watching. I'd love ND to get FSU but not looking

good 3rd set, down 14-9.

Now we need the last 2 sets to pull it out, down 2-1 *

FSU dominated the 4th set, we lose 3-1. *
