Might they fare better against these teams than the PSAC? northeastconference.org/sports/womens-volleyball

I don't know about how the team will fare but they got a graduate setter from cleveland state who's sister also plays. That is definitely going to be a lot of travel. 2-3 hours down I-79 or across I-80 vs 7-8 hrs+ to Boston, NY and Connecticut? And I assume they don't have the BIG/Pac 12 travel budget for charter flights so its going to be a lot of long bus rides. Plus 2-4 yrs no postseason so hopefully the financial boost hits quick.
