Arizona match.
Apparently the ref made a couple of bad calls in the 3rd game and the coach had it with him and called him a f***ing goon. But this is a "did you hear what they said about what she said about the game?" type of thing. Not to sure because UVSC, were playing Santa Clara when this happened. Not going to lie, it was rough for UC Davis. We won the first game fairly easy until the score was about 22-17 and they had a little comeback and we won it 25-23 ish? Cant really remember what the score was. The second game they were up on us 14-6, and we came back to beat them 26-24. It sucks because some not so good teams were playing each other in the first round and other good teams were playing each other the first round. Colorado wasn't even in the gold bracket which surprised me a lot they have a solid team.

And now for the real important question, how was Vegas?
everyone hit up the casinos for a little while, win a bunch of money?
Sounds rough for UC-Davis. Are the complete results gonna get up anytime soon?

Nationally, it seems to be a four to six horse race this year. Oshkosh Central Florida Arizona Illinois are clearly leading the way. Behind them would be Lakeland and, likely, a west coast team that will emerge from the pack.

How did the Lakeland-Oshkosh match look? Was it close? Wasn't there, but the scores were 25-21, and 25-18.

Any word on how Marquette did? I couldn't make it. They finished the regular season 2-6 in conference and lost to Notre Dame in the quarter final (25-22, 16-25, 10-15).

But this is a "did you hear what they said about what she said about the game?" type of thing. Here's what happened, to the best of my memory. Arizona was down 11-12 in the 3rd game, and the up-ref made a very late, very questionable touch call against Arizona, 13-11 UCF. UCF won the next point (14-11) and the Arizona coach dropped the F-bomb in a comment to an injured player sitting next to him on the bench, but within earshot of the ref. I don't know exactly what he said. The up-ref immediately crossed his arms, raised his hand and called for the down-ref. They deliberated for a few seconds and the up-ref drew the yellow card, and again crossed his arms. 15-11 UCF.

Well unfortunately the game ended the way it did but yea the coach did pick up a yellow for match point. There was questionable touch call made by the line judge and Arizona went nuts. I was surprised they didn't get anything at that point. I thought the coach said something to the ref because I remember seeing him stand up and walk away for from the bench after we got game point and came back saying something...its too bad but it was an amazing game and I really appreciate Arizona's sportsmanship. They were great about and we partied hard after!

I guess the first day in vegas BYU took first in the pool. But one of the players for BYU is not attending BYU and they dropped them into last place because of it, and one of the players had to travel back to provo because something came up, so they had to play the whole second day with 4 players and they were last place from the pool so they were in the silver bracket. to bad for them, they may have surprised some of the teams there.
UC Davis BYU USD San Marcos

barring any mishaps (i don't know their schedule until the next rankings), but UCF definitely slides up into the #2 spot behind Oshkosh

how did long beach look? didn't central florida lose to them first round? they were missing a starting outside and a starting middle.
i think their OH hurt his back while the middle had an ankle problem so they didn't make the trip.

Long Beach did a decent job. They lost both of their matches on the second day, not sure who they lost to in the first round, but they lost to Santa Clara in the first round of the gold consolation. Then Santa Clara beat Michigan State, then lost to Utah Valley. I think that USD did get 7th, they were playing well. As far as BYU goes, they only came down to the tournament with five players and picked up a sixth from UNLV, obviously an ineligible player and were forced to forfeit their games. Davis A did have a rough tournament, they just weren't playing very well at all. UCLA, i believe, tied for 7th after losing to San Jose St. in that consolation bracket. Which would mean that Sac St. beat USD in the other side of that bracket to get 6th. Like I've said in earlier posts, the NCCVL is all mixed up. Neither San Jose or Sac made the league playoffs (top 6 teams) and Sonoma St (Silver Winner) did make it. There are going to be lots of upsets at nationals. Any team can beat anyone this year.

Very true. I would still like to hear what happend with Colorado.

From what I heard, both of those teams were playing some great volleyball in Vegas. And I definitely have to agree with you on that last statement. When you have a tourney like Vegas with as many upsets as there were, then there is definitely a chance for everyone to step up and take advantage. Let's see who is gonna step up when it matters the most.

A little bit more of a recap of the weekend in Milwaukee, besides just who beat who in the semis:
Oshkosh looks unstopable--After seeing the scores from the weekend, nobody even gave them a challenge. They have a way of playing teams kinda close for the first 18 points and then pulling away when it matters. The only thing that can stop them is themselves at this point, maybe UCF/Illinois when their both on top of their game.
Lakeland doesn't appear to be playing all that well, or maybe they've just run into some hot teams. The didn't take a game from Oshkosh when they played a few weeks ago, and from the scores, the final didn't sound remarkably close either. They got into two separate battles with Notre Dame, and split. Both were in 3 games and both were 15-13, one going each way. It does have to count for something that they got the one that mattered. Also beat NIU in one close game and one blowout.
Notre Dame - Struggled with Marquette, but hung with Lakeland both matches of the day, ending with an exactly even point differential after 6 games and 200 some points (not that that means anything, but kinda interesting) and beat NIU in 2 games by a total of 4 points.
NIU - Rough day....played 5 matches against Oshkosh, Notre Dame, Lakeland, a playoff win vs Illinois State and then played Oshkosh again. Hows that for a schedule?
Marquette - Might be the most talented team to ever finish 2-6 against a conference like that. Yet at times they showed flashes of real potential, going 3 long games with Oshkosh the first playday and with Notre Dame saturday. But also went 3 long games and lost to UW-Milwaukee.
