League wide?
General public fans will not be permitted to attend home matches for the 2021 Ohio Wrestling and Ohio Volleyball seasons. These guidelines were set by the Mid-American Conference (MAC) and are necessary to help slow the spread of Covid-19 in our community. The health & safety of our student-athletes, coaches, staff, and community is our highest priority.
As per the MAC, student-athletes' and coaches' families and guests will be permitted to attend home matches through a pass list process only. For our loyal fans who are interested in watching our matches, follow @ohio_Volleyball and @ohiou_Wrestling as we will be providing you with information on how to stream our events.

Who are the top three players at each position in the Mac? Here's my list: OH: Meyer (BGSU); Bontrager (WMU); Smith (CMU) MB: Jimerson (Ohio); Rosario-Martinez (CMU); Chase (EMU) OPP: Nedoma (Ohio); Harper (Miami); Copley (Kent State) S: Giacomazzi (Ohio); Weigand (Akron); Balensiefer (NIU) DS/L: Walz (BGSU); Gardner (Kent State); Karlen (NIU) Lots of room for argument up there.

Interesting that they decided to go East/West this year even though it's a full, balanced double round robin schedule.

Especially interesting since the conference tournament is not differentiating between Divisions, just simply taking the top 4 teams. I suspect this is just a way to get more athletes honored both pre and post season.

Wasn't almost the entire east division in the tournament in 2019 and only 2 west division teams?

A loss to the Bobcats would galvanize the Chips.

Ohio U has 28 hitting errors to Central Michigan's 11. They're only down 2 in the 4th though, still with a chance to push CMU to 5.
CMU, despite missing its leading scorer from 2019, looks pretty good.
