Since this is the only way I can get some people to read the volleyball board, here is some info on Howard, complete with pics (especially since SJ said it was a requirement).

So here is Howard:



This is #9. She's a senior middle blocker from Houston, Texas.
Howard's nickname is the Bison and they compete in the MEAC.
Prediction: LU wins 3-0.

Keep the scouting reports coming!

I would agree with your prediction based on what I'm reading. However, you never know. After watching high school, club and college volleyball for ten years, I've seen some great teams get beat by weaker teams... volleyball is crazy that way.

However, I think this Liberty team has HEART (a "you will not beat us" attitude), SOUL (a belief that anything is possible), UNITY (an uncommon strength based on Christian faith and love for each other), and TALENT (a line-up that brings experience and skill to every position).

I predict they will loose a few games, but will take each match. I see Liberty at 3-0 on August 26th.
