Good match. UC wins first ser 25-22.

Damn, I miss playing UD, Miami & X every year in hoops. Good memories.

Dominate second set 25-17. Cats stay on court during break.

Wow...great. Live in the Dayton area and the local news is always pumping UD volleyball.

Fun team to watch. Mallon is a heck of a player for her size. 20-20 in the third set.

Damn it. Coach sits my girl, #5, and Cats lose 3rd set 28-26.

Cats served for match point. Ugh.

I'm not much of a volleyball person, but I enjoy watching from time to time.

19-19 in the 4th set. Cats lead 2-1.

Cats lose 25-22. Going to the fifth set.

Flyers serving 7-7. Hits the pole.

Cats serving 10-8. I caught a UD t-shirt.

Cats win. Cats win. 15-12 in the fifth. No bar celebrations. 10 year old daughter has school tomorrow.

This is a very good UC team. #23 Jordan Thompson is an absolute stud and one of the, if not the best, players in the program's history.

This Friday and Sunday are the last two matches at St. Ursula. Sunday is against UCF who is the only other team undefeated in conference play. It would be great to pack that small gym on Sunday.

Copied from the article on today's match on gobearcats.com

Quote:• Jordan Thompson was named both the Sports Imports/AVCA and VolleyMob National Player of the Week on Tuesday for an incredible weekend on the road
• The redshirt-junior averaged 7.89 kills per set while hitting an even 4.00 in matches at Tulsa and Wichita State
• She also added in 27 digs, two aces and five blocks
• Thompson broke the AAC, UC and Koch Center single-match records with 44 kills against Wichita State on Sunday
• She has been the nation's leader in kills, points, kills per set and points per set for seven consecutive weeks
• Although just in her third season on the court, Thompson is the AAC career leader in points and kills
• She is the only Bearcats player in history to record 40 kills in one match and the only to be named national player of the week twice in a season

There is some good college volleyball in this area. UC, UD, XU, and NKU all have solid programs. Big Ten, Pac 12, and SEC are the best conferences for the sport. Pretty much the only reason I'll ever watch the Big Ten network.

As cpawfan said, this is a huge volleyball weekend. UC is a bubble NCAA team right now. Do me favor and take my empty seat as both kids have soccer games Sunday.

P.s. Thomas More is a Final Four candidate in their division.
