I need to amend my statement. GT has four players listed as DS/Libero, which should be enough. The real problem is that they are trying to fill the shoes of Paola Pimentel. That's hard, because she was pretty awesome.
As for OH, we have three listed for that position, and all of them are seniors. Egads.

Well here we go. After today the ACC rankings will no longer be the 1-0 Cardinals followed by everyone else in alphabetical order. We have 10 straight days of matches. Below is just today's. Some ACC teams have interesting matchups, others not as much. But let's drop the puck, kickoff, jump it, toss the coin, shake hands, put in our mouth guards and get the engine started on the 2024 season.

First two games: Syracuse took care of business against NJIT, winning 3-0 Duke looked shaky in beating Colgate 3-2. Colgate is a good team in the Patriot, but you still shouldn't have the kind of problems Duke had.

Clemson sweeps Loyola Chicago UVA sweeps Marist Miami beats Rutgers 3-1 Cal sweeps Nevada NC State is swept by Creighton UNC sweeps Cleveland State FSU sweeps USF Wake is swept by Hofstra. WTF? Stanford sweeps Milwaukee, but the games look closer then you think they should be. Syracuse beats Lafayette 3-1. Syracuse has matched their win total from last year on day 1. BC swept Texas Tech. UCLA and GT look like they are going to five.

Winthrop is coached by former UNC VB alum Heather Gearhart. She spent some time with Eve at Tennessee as well.

I always love the first week or so of pre-season play, where if you go by stats & standings and didn't know any better, you might think Boston College or North Carolina or Virginia might be the best teams and may win the conference. I mean look at Virginia's & Syracuse's opponents' hitting percentage!
And then reality sets in and those Week 1 names at the top start falling.
