Long time viewer. First time poster. And former A-Sun volleyball player. Very exciting to see a board dedicated to the conference!!! Biggest takeaway from the conference this year: impact freshman! Tough to predict who with get FOY between Shelton (KSU), Carroll (FGCU), Haake (Upstate) and many more. I would say these freshman have made immediate impacts on their respective teams much like Devine did at ETSU a few years back. Definitely agree. I think Haake is the front-runner but still a lot of conference play left. Any of those listed and maybe 1 or two more could finish strong and get the award. Bodes well for the future competition in the ASUN. Would love to have you join our weekly picks, southeastvbfan! To answer your question, rockhopper, if I was putting money on it then I would pick Lipscomb. I think JU has the capability playing at home especially if Laskelle and Koop have big matches but it would be an upset. If UNF can take Lipscomb to 5, then that could also help JU who I expect to sweep NJIT. I actually would have possibly picked UNF at home over Lipscomb if they were healthy and at full strength. I think this will be a telling weekend for both JU and UNF.

I thought she was one of the top players in the entire South. A terminating 6 rotation OH. She could have competed and done well at a B1G or PAC school IMO.

Loving it! The more the merrier, vbprisoner. Familiar with the name Devine but never saw her play. Will have to see if I can google some highlights.

Well, I went 4-4 this week although my two upset picks both were close to happening with Lipscomb coming back from down 2-1 to take the 5th set 16-14 over JU. Also, my KSU upset of FGCU fell just short with FGCU also coming from down 2-1 to win in 5. Stetson's sweep this weekend was a big surprise and accounted for my other two losses.
Lipscomb is definitely showing their never-give-up attitude that Rosenthal instills in his program, coming from 23-18 down in the first set against UNF to win 33-31 and seemingly breaking the will of the Ospreys. They then gave a repeat gritty effort against JU. Anything can happen come tournament time but assuming health is not a factor, Lipscomb appears to have what it takes to take both the regular season and tournament title and possibly a match in the NCAA's.

Yeah, yesterday hurt me going 2-2 in ASUN, and 3-2 in PTW.
I need to do a little more research on ASUN this week so I can bring it next week!
