just heard the Carthage setter has contracted Leprosy and will be out the rest of the season. This weekend will be interesting to see how they do without him

UPSET ALERT: #13 MSOE loses to CUW in 5 sets. How were they ranked again? MSOE the past few years always get a few good wins and a bunch of bad losses. I even had them ranked too, but until they are consistent I really shouldn't and neither should the voters. As someone else said earlier, they can upset but don't really deserve to be ranked.

These teams trying to play "Lesser" teams with their bench. Lots of extra players to deal with adds pressure to coaches to play them when possible and MSOE thought that CU-W was easy pickings...Never underestimate your opponent! Also, allowing your team to jump serve their way to 31 service errors is probably not ideal.
Kudos to Cu-W on getting the job done. 0-26 last year and a HUGE win with this one.

Any thoughts that perhaps the Kean internal revolt was a bit overblown? I have zero insight in to what is happening there, but a team in disarray (or revolting against a coach) doesn't come together to beat a solid Steven's squad 3-0, right?

Reading back through other posts when this was occurring it appeared that nobody really knew what was going on and majority was speculation. One person brought up the possibility of the revolt being against an assistant coach who was in turn terminated. If the assistant did in fact leave before the Stevens match and this was in fact the problem than I would deduce that to be the reasoning for Kean's quick turnaround. Also, after dropping two matches this Stevens match was somewhat of a must win for Kean to stay near the ranking they believe they deserve, so that was most likely a motivator as well. It is very possible too that Stevens simply took Kean lightly after handling the two teams Kean lost to (NCC and Endicott) fairly easily before their match against Kean. At the end of the day I do not believe we are ever going to truly know what happened here, unless someone in the Kean organization speaks out (highly unlikely though).

First 3 sets wound up being 2 point sets, Kean taking the third 25-23, before getting the 25-15 win in the 4th. That's a good road win. Quinn finished hitting .485, with a 21-5-33 line for JC.

One of my sources who is close to the situation has informed me that Ginex had ordered Pizza by Alfredo, instead of Alfredo’s Pizza Kitchen, by mistake. This caused a huge stir with the team, and tempers flared. Apparently it ended with a hostage situation.

Benedictine puts away Carthage in 4. Locked in for boost in rankings Was this game at Carthage? Surely Carthage benched their starters right, that’s the only way they could possibly lose Benedictine hit .300 where carnage hit below .120 What won Benedictine the games was Carthage’s irrelevant middles. They are straight horse s’h’i’t, as well as their inability to pass a float serve. Benedictine minimized their mistakes and capitalized.
