I'm looking forward to the Montana game tomorrow since I am from Montana haha! Should be a good one; although they'll be missing their best player due to being in Canada.

UNCG with the first point, but based on what I've seen and heard, our Lady Flames should be able to handle this team ok.

LU takes first blood in game 2, and I'm off from work, so I'll look forward to seeing comments later.

Apparently the girls sealed the deal.. not a surprise after the dominant start they got off to. Nice job, a good wave of momentum in the pre-conference schedule will only make the conference schedule that much better for the Lady Flames.

Wow, what a start! We demolished UNC-G in the first set. They helped out with lots of unforced errors. I told some of the parents I expected them to play better in the second set, and they did, but we had too many horses for them.

Game balls go to Karyl Bacon and Kelly Haseman. Bacon was unstoppable and Haseman just wouldn't let anything hit the floor.

The ladies played with good intensity and handled a good opponent very well.

Montana looked outstanding against VT in their first set, and VT looked a little like the Keystone Cops at first. VT took the second set. The third set looked like slow motion and VT came back to win, and then took the match in the fourth set.
