I thought I’d try an off speed hit and see if I could fool the defense this week. So with a new “twist”, I added the Canadian Men to the Polls (Yes, men’s Volleyball starts earlier in Canada than the USA and runs concurrently with women’s Volleyball) and separated NCAA DI and DII from the other polls.
So, “Let’s twist again, like we did last summer. Come on, let’s twist again, like we did last year!!!! Do you remember when, things were really hummin’. Come on, let’s twist again, twistin’ time is here.” From the song “Let’s twist Again” by Chubby Checker.
Just a Reminder – Here are the Volleyball Tournament Dates.
2014 NCAA DI Women’s Volleyball Championship Tournament – December 18 thru 20 at the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
2014 NCAA DII Women’s Volleyball Championship Tournament – December 4 thru 6 at Knights Hall on the Bellarmine University campus in Louisville, Kentucky.
2015 CIS Men’s Volleyball Championship Tournament – February 26 thru 28 at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
And, whatever country you represent, LET’S GROW VOLLEYBALL TOGETHER, PLEASE!
NCAA DI
The Stanford Cardinal remained at number one, still followed closely by three other undefeated teams just itching to move up – Texas at number 2, Washington at number 3, and Florida State at number 4. North Carolina and Illinois replaced Oregon and BYU in the top ten
