Good morning. The same weekend the football team opens up with Montana our volleyball team travels to Indianapolis to play 3 matches in a tournament out there. Then on that Tuesday, September 3rd, we play Iowa State in Ames. Iowa State is a perennial power in the Big 12. If you’re anywhere near Ames the match is at 6:30. I’m going to it myself. On the weekend we play Houston Baptist at home in football, our gals play (2) matches on the Friday before and plays Iowa at 6:30 on Saturday after the football game in the Coyote Classic. Excellent chance to watch USD play some high quality teams at home.

Preseason poll is out: Denver #1, Yotes #2, Mavs #3
I mostly agree with this lineup, but I'm not sure about #4-#7. I'd probably put NDSU at #4 based on the tail end of last year. I would maybe drop ORU to #7.

Is it time we give Volleyball its own board?

Might help generate a little more interest or awareness in what could be another championship 2019 season. I'd say: sure! Better get some more fans on board now, since the tournament could be in Vermillion next year...

NOW you are talking!!! It is about time the Volleyball Team gets some love!!! Thanks Yote 53 You Rock!!! I follow the team extensively and you are going to like the team on the floor this year. As there are many new faces this year, it may take a little bit to gel but by the time the conference season rolls around the team should be ready to do some damage. It will be good to hear... You have just been Slaughtered.... when Sami gets a kill or there is a "Monster Kill" when someone takes a big swing at the net!!! Go Yotes!!!

Just got back from the exhibition volleyball match. The team won in 3 sets and the coach was able to play most of team.
My non-professional observations... the team is very long and athletic and can really bring the heat on their swings. The potential is there to protect the net. Coach used many combinations of players to try and find the what can potentially work going forward. I came away impressed by the play of Sami Slaughter, Maddie Wiedenfeldt, and the two Elizabeth's (loschen and Junhke). There is a ton of potential and this should be a very entertaining year. Like a stated before, it will take a bit of time to fine tune the rotation and gel but the Yotes will do just fine this year!!! Go Yotes!!!

Will home matches be streamed for free this year? The schedule doesn't yet have links for the video stream for those matches. Good question. The free streams for most Coyote sports has been an awesome amenity for fans, IMO. If they switch it to a fee based service, like the Jacks have, I'll pay it, but you will be turning off the more casual fans that the University should be courting, I think. They will have to do their own cost/benefit analysis, but In my uneducated opinion, it should depend on the sport. For football or basketball, I can see them adding a fee. For the less-attended sports they should be going the "more inclusive" rather than "more exclusive" route. *edit: never mind. Bob had the answer...

Hi all, I know I see some of you over at summitfans.com, but I just wanted to make the other volleyball fans here aware of it so we can build the Summit League volleyball fan base! Hope to see you there: summitfans.com/forums/volleyball/
