Grand View has been on a mission all season. I think they show out and sweep.

BenU loses set one 25-23 on a net violation after being down by 4 late in the set...the rest of this match will be good.

Grandview just looks like they are physically too big for Benedictine thus far

Chapman with 3 overpass bounces in a row to win the second set. Unless BenU starts passing better this match may well be over in 3 sets

Okay so I know Chapman was named to the USA Collegiate National Team, is he eligible for the senior national team at this stage?

The man is pretty damn good I don't think he translates as an OH at that level, but as an OPP, he is certainly dynamic enough to get a look, especially with the OPP depth lacking a bit.

Grand View finishes the job. They have a phenomenal squad, and it was going to take something special to beat them.
Great season to BenU. They have a really good young core. Replacing Henige and Pollnow will be tough, but Fuller, Rogers, and Dawson are a nice group to build on for the future.

I think he would contend in the National Team pool in the middle. Considering he has already appeared for Cuba, it is clear he has the talent. Would likely need a good full season overseas before he would be ready though. In terms of the match... when a TEAM hits .500+, they aren't gonna lose. Simple as that. A better conversation... is Felix the best to ever play in the NAIA?

A better conversation... is Felix the best to ever play in the NAIA? Responding to the question whether or not Felix is the best NAIA player ever...honestly I would have to think so. He’s been POTY three consecutive years after Kyle Foley left I think and has been a 5 time AA. If you combine his sheer size, his athleticism, coordination, and skill...I don’t think anyone can really compare. Like another member posted previously, GV is 89-9 or something with Chapman (now 90-9) and Donan Cruz (HC) is 210-55(I think?) I saw on the stream today. I don’t think anyone in recent memory comes close to his level of complete domination of the sport at the NAIA level. And the NAIA field has only gotten stronger recently so it shows he is another level above just in that respect

And the NAIA field has only gotten stronger recently so it shows he is another level above just in that respect Yeah in recent memory he is definitely the best, but I also don't know if any one else in the country has played with as many other All Americans as he has, really makes it easier when you're already the best. Other players that come to mind are like you said Luke Foley, Hui Ding (L from Warner), and Concordia-Irvine had some bangers when they were NAIA and I am sure many more not mentioned.

Didn’t even think about Hui Ding. Libero didn’t cross my mind when thinking of best players but now that I think about it it should have. Hui Ding would cover half the court on serve receive consistently.
