Just going to say this. Watch ECU...Adler has that program on the up. If not for some injuries, they should have won the east division. they pushed SMU and Rice. Exciting team to watch.

DePaul up 2-0 on UIC. Jill Pressly had 8 kills, 5 digs, and 2 blocks hitting .400 through 2 DePaul is playing SIU (Southern Illinois), not UIC (Illinois-Chicago). SIU was leading 23-20 in the first set, but then DePaul came back to tie it and then win 27-25. Then DePaul had a big run early in the 2nd set, and were able to hang on for a 25-21 set win to go up 2 sets to 0. SIU has led the whole 3rd set, but DePaul has closed to within 22-20, triggering a Saluki timeout
