Forgot about UNO and I don't know anything about KC.
I have to apologetically admit I'm a B1G TEN snob so I don't know a ton about other conferences.
The Summit is being added to my "Will Follow" list with the inclusion of the Tommies.

Forgot about UNO and I don't know anything about KC. I have to apologetically admit I'm a B1G TEN snob so I don't know a ton about other conferences. The Summit is being added to my "Will Follow" list with the inclusion of the Tommies. As a Summit fan, I'm also excited for this upcoming season, and about the inclusion of UST. Just having a presence in the MSP metro will be great for exposure and recruiting for all the conference schools! Many of us already recruit that area heavily in multiple sports. I feel like there has been some real momentum in the conference's national profile over the last few years, so this will be a good season to pay attention to. The goal for this mid-major conference would be to ultimately be getting at-large bids in most years, and be competitive against regional conferences like the Horizon, MVC and Big Sky. We will see how far we have come in the non-conference season fairly quickly. Omaha and USD both will have some high-profile matchups. Creighton and Missouri both play multiple Summit teams this fall. |

I'm looking forward to learning more about Summit volleyball.

Some bumps and bruises to start the Tommies' season.
Lauren Galvin is looking like the go to player on that squad.

I like that UST still has a few players, including starting setter and outside in the opening match, from the 2019 DIII team.

The Tommies have only been swept once. Also, they have quite a few Tue / Thu home games, so Twin Citians who want to watch them and Gophers can often do just that. Actually, one could bounce around a pretty small area more or less the midway to see 3 teams (adding Concordia). (I know locals know this but maybe non-locals might find it interesting). Of course Macalaster, Hamline, and Augsburg D3 are also in this same area (and St. Catherine's a few blocks south of this map). I think that's it   |

Tommies took some bumps and bruises last night.
All part of the growing pains.
Lauren Galvin remains a bright spot for this team.

I had St. Thomas at 4-24 in my preseason prediction and I feel pretty good about that number. St. Thomas is behind D2 Concordia at the moment but that is not a surprise. Concordia would beat at least 1/4 of the D1 programs in most years. It won't take long for St. Thomas to get very competitive in the Summit. Thanh is a really good coach and St. Thomas was fortunate to have a volleyball coach be able to make the jump from D3 to D1 pretty seamlessly.
