Akila Hardie is gone from the roster but I haven’t seen her pop up anywhere yet.

Maddie Smith is at Marshall now.

I haven’t seen any other Mountaineers hit the portal yet, which gives me hope that the overall team/coach environment isn’t as bad as has been rumored here. Tennessee is having a mass exodus where nearly the entire team has entered the portal and most believe it’s because of their coach.

Maria Contreras has entered the portal.

Maddie Smith appears to be moving on from App.

There are three pro leagues, I believe. MLV, LOVB, and Athletes Unlimited.

So happy for Maya!! She’s been the best part of this team. Looking forward to catching a couple matches in Columbus.

3-2 loss to Troy tonight.

Well, ODU has a dedicated volleyball facility, but they had that before they entered the SBC.

7 signed on national signing day.

Players looked afraid to make mistakes (and from what I have heard, they had every reason to be afraid, based on how he talked to them). I have no inside knowledge on this - but I have noticed the same thing re: how he talks to players by just watching him courtside. His demeanor and Valerie's is m...

We were absolutely outplayed today and GSU takes the weekend. I believe that makes it a 6 match slide we are on.

App beat Kent State 9-0 today. This was the season's last home game I believe. Must have been pretty cold out there today on that wet field.

I was at the match tonight and for a small crowd it was a good atmosphere. App dropped the first two, won the second two (4th pretty handily) but came up short in the 5th and Georgia State took the match. Back at it tomorrow @ 2pm.

Coastal sweeps the weekend.

We aren’t just playing an opponent, we’re also playing ourselves. App has got to get the errors under control.

I disagree with this. Even before Sarah was hired, the other candidates were not Chad and I know that for a fact. I hope it will work out, but we shall see. Disagree all you want - this info came from Doug Gillin himself. I don’t know that Chad was a *candidate* specifically for the job after Matt ...

I have been very disappointed with this coaching staff. I don’t know how it all went down, but no way he was the most qualified candidate. Doug actually looked at Chad Sutton before Sarah Rumely-Noble was hired, but at the time he didn’t have enough experience and Sarah was hired. When she left, Do...

App took off early in the 4th set but ultimately GaSo takes the match 3-1 and sweeps the weekend. Side note, somehow GaSo can put on an ACC Network quality ESPN+ production one day and the next day barely get the booth audio on the air. Yesterday they had a NCAA VB focused ticker, their own promo gr...

App just killing themselves with errors again today at GaSo. Currently down 2-1 going into the 4th set. 3rd was lost 25-15.

Volleyball dominated sets 1 and 2 against GaSo tonight, then dropped it in a reverse sweep by the Eagles. It was a winnable match that I really hated seeing them lose.

On to the next one - GaSo again tomorrow @ 6pm.

App won in a hard fought 3 set sweep today; combined with yesterday’s reverse sweep that’s 6 straight sets against ODU!

ODU came to Boone prepared. They played far above their record this weekend.

Maya Winterhoff got her 1000th kill near the end of tonight's match.

App dropped the first two sets in an awful fashion - they are so much better than how they played those two. Got the reverse sweep though. Barely.
