Traveling that far to play three East coast teams not in your wheelhouse hope was not in vain. Did POLY picked up a nice check to cover expenses??? This Thursday CAL POLY will not half to travel,...home for their own four team tournament. Washington Pepperdine St Mary's That’sa nice home slate for Cal Poly! I hope to see some good results What do you think jackson5vb about POLY's first home VB tournament in a long, long, long time? And, how would you rate the schools participated?

And, how would you rate the schools participated? I'll probably be there at least 1 of the matches, unless I need to work. I think we can beat Peppermint and if we get lucky, we can beat St Mary

As a Wahine fan, but also a volleyball fan, I kind of hope Cal Poly goes 3-0 and then goes far afield to host another 4 team tournament in the future!

Hope you do too. Maybe you can let us know what you think of the match. Will POLY's Tess Masingale be in the mix tonite? Will blocking be a key to victory for CAL POLY?

Traffic on campus sucked today. And then we found a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

I do not understand why Walters simply will not yank Stockham at times?
it makes no sense, she's not even getting back-row pipe attempts, her receiving affects her attacks as well. I mean I think most any other player that can't handle a serve would get sat down at times. This is going on for two years. I don't get it. Put a damn DS player in there, even if for one rotation or two a set.
it's crazy - I don't think at this point Stockham is going to grow as a receiver, doesn't have the physical make-up.
what am I missing? it's confounding, really is - cause it's so obvious

Maybe when she transferred in from Indiana , Coach Walters promised to play her as a 6 rotation player only. Sometimes coaches make promises to get the hotshots into the program and when they become liabilities, they have no choice. I remember Kash Williams was in the same boat but Joy did bench her for 3 rotations due to her inability to play defense and pass and ended up transferring to Penn State. Maybe Walters fear that scenario with Stockham.

Maybe Walters fear that scenario with Stockham. I was just having a conversation with family about making promises you don’t know if you can keep as a coach. I stayed far away from that when I coached but if Walters really did resort to a promise to get Stockham I can understand the potential of the situation. I haven’t watched Cal Poly much except for their Washington match but I will definitely be tuning in when they take on LBSU

I haven’t watched Cal Poly much except for their Washington match but I will definitely be tuning in when they take on LBSU I highly doubt this is a matter of a 'promise'. that would not make any sense. STockham more than anyone knows she's not doing it, athletes are not stupid. THis is also a coach that sat a Big West champ, all Big West setter (DeNocchia) last year in favor of Bullis. So it's not like she won't make tough decisions on starters. Can she not just sub her out after she serves for a DS? that's the part I don't get, and makes not sense. are all 6 or so of those DS she's got standing on the sidelines really not any better. Her receviing stats are shockingly poor, and those don't even represent the extent of the poor passes. Frankly, she's just not a 'mimble' athlete, she's a physical front-row attacker. I mean sheesh, shouldn't somebody on that campsus corner Jasson and Caroline and shake them until they come to their senses?. They flubbed a chance to beat Washington in part becuase their backrow passing creates so many scoring runs for opponents. I know coaches have certain visions, and can she be so stubborn in terms of seeing that play out, and maybe she's 'believing' the passing will come around. I don't know, it's two years and counting.

Freshman mistakes can prove to be deciding!!!
Why is coach Walters playing true freshmen???
True freshman S. Callahan had 11=SE & 4=SA in 13 sets over the three home matches. Unacceptable.
As a team CAL POLY had 41=SE & 14=SA in those 13 sets.
This while playing on your own home court,...pretty bad coach.
