Heading to the valley for the Juniata vs CMS match today. Should be a fun one! Juniata looked very good! Would have been fun if CMS had pulled out the second set, but it likely would have only delayed the inevitable.

No top 100 matches today. Th first UAA round robin is next Sat/Sun. The Whitewater Invitational was a strong field. St. Benedict with a respectable weekend, taking a set off Whitewater and beating WashU. WashU with an o'fer. Let's give MIT a B+ for their Trinity(TX) trip. 2 convincing wins over Pomona-Pitzer and Whittier, and a set off Trinity that only served to make them mad. Calvin over Ohio Northern in a 5 set thriller 18-16. Oshkosh at Whitewater this Wednesday the 20th gets the WIAC season started with a bang, lot of teams lurking in that conference. Does not appear there is anyone to give Ithaca a match in the Liberty league. Looks like Colby is serious about moving into the top half of the NESCAC for the first time in a long time. Endicott off to a slow start, but there does not appear to be anyone in the Commonwealth Coast to challenge them for the A bid. Babson and Springfield piling up wins against teams they were supposed to beat so you can't tell yet. MIT still looks the favorite in the NEWMAC.

Tuesday Top 100. The ranking services are still adjusting. Despite a 2-7 start only one of the three has started to penalize Wittenberg(yes the schedule is strong, ranked #15). North Central and Augustana both need this one for some CCIW momentum. Emerson, at home, over Babson wouldn't be a big surprise. I'll take St. Norbert over Edgewood, and Denison over Marietta. Time zone?? Updated start time? Double check your matches of interest. Thank You richkern.com for the schedule data. ed 9/20: my apologies to St. Norbert and Denison for the hex.

AVCA Top 25 poll Sept 19 with extended data QWI(Quality Win Index)- points for wins against Top 100 schools Projected NCAA Ranked W/L using QWI to do region rankings (bear with me...I am kinda coming out of right field with this comment-question). I'm a former DI MBB player and I closely follow my alma mater's WVB team (Stanford). My dad went to a D3 university at the time (UC Davis). Recently on YouTube I've been offered many MIAA Conference WVB matches. I see at least two of them here (Hope and Calvin...bitter rivals). They play some pretty damn good ball in D3/MIAA. Question: is there a listing for each team's streaming schedule in the MIAA (& others)? Thx!

Scroll down to the match that is happening, then click "video". Most of the D3 teams have "Video" available to click on. Typically free. It is actually a really nice aspect of D3 volleyball.

Tonight is Osh Kosh vs Whitewater and then everyone else.
North Park vs Elmhurst could be good. Manhattanville vs USMMA may decide the Skyline's top seed in November. And two big matches in Mn - NW vs Gustavus Adolphus and Augsburg vs St. Bens...
But really tonight is all about Osh Kosh vs Whitewater.

Massey has Osh Kosh as 24% to win on the road tonight. They swept Whitewater in 3. They have a rough week but are favored vs Stevens Point, Chicago and Hope next week, and then Wash U in a couple weeks, but they are rolling.
North Park is now 10-1 with a sweep over 8-2 Elmhurst. Massey had them as a 3-2 winner tonight. Either way the win sets up a match with Calvin on Friday.
Gustavus Adolphus was up 5-0 in the 5th but Northwestern scored the last 3 to win 17-15.
St. Bens beats Augsburg.

Feels like Thursday. Only 1 Top 100 qualifier out of 40 matches. Santa Cruz missing a few days of class to try and collect 4 ranked wins in New England. Tufts, Endicott, Springfield, and MIT. I am going to predict they go 3-1, but then I am really bad at predicting. More schools should try this. Time is ET. Updated start time? Double check your matches of interest.

North Park beats Calvin at Calvin. North Park had quietly been putting together a solid season but wins like this make noise.
Santa Cruz beats Endicott in 3. Their trip east seems to be worth the effort so far. It will be interesting if more teams do this to collect ranked wins in the northeast, or if Santa Cruz success convinces makes the argument that they shouldn't have to.
MSJ outlasts Ohio Northern but falls to Otterbein, leaving one less undefeated team... a topic maybe we can bring up tomorrow night or Sunday.
