It\u2019s time for some \u201cBics & Quicks\u201d or a way to deliver some important volleyball items rapidly, or as the names imply, \u201cquickly.\u201d A quick set, also known as a \u201dQuick\u201d or a \u201c51\u201d or a \u201cone\u201d, is an extremely fast-paced set 1\u2019 to 2 \u2018 above and near the net, where the hitter is approaching the setter and is usually in the air before the setter delivers the ball. A \u201cBIC\u201d or back row quick, is a low set in the middle of the court near the ten foot line delivered to a back row player to execute as an offensive attack. The BIC is similar to a \u201cpipe\u201d but is set lower and faster than the pipe to add more surprise to the attack. A quick is usually executed by a middle hitter, but a BIC is often executed by the backrow opposite or a backrow outside hitter. The Bic and the Quick both require exact timing and coordination between setter and hitter and both are deadly offensive weapons.<\/p>\n
The Golden Bears of Concordia University \u2013 St. Paul won their eighth DII Women\u2019s volleyball title Saturday evening (12\/10\/16) with a convincing 3 \u2013 0 sweep of the University of Alaska — Anchorage Seawolves in the Sanford Paragon in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. This amazing eighth title in their program history places the Concordia \u2013 St. Paul Golden Bears in second place in NCAA history behind the fabled DIII program of Washington University in St. Louis with ten titles.<\/p>\n

Canadian men\u2019s Volleyball goes on annual hiatus.<\/h3>\nCanadian Men\u2019s volleyball is played in a two-half season, the first half beginning in late October and ending in early December while the second half begins in early January and ends in mid-March. During this month long hiatus from early December to mid-January, the Canadian teams rest, recover, and often travel south to engage American college teams in exhibition matches. There is always some great volleyball at these matches as we see the two college systems compete in a more relaxed environment along with the friendly international competition.<\/p>\n Third Quick. NCAA DI Women\u2019s National Volleyball Championship.<\/h3>\nThe DI Women\u2019s tournament has reached the final four stage and now transitions to Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio. Nationwide Arena is a large multi-purpose arena with a capacity of 18,500 and serves as the home of the Columbus Blue Jackets of the National Hockey League. And, knowing how \u201cup-close and \u201cpersonal\u201d hockey arenas can be, I\u2019m certain the nationwide Arena will be a fantastic venue for the volleyball championship. Four teams remain alive in the NCAA DI Women\u2019s National Volleyball Championship: the top seeded Nebraska Huskers, the second seeded Minnesota Golden Gophers, the fourth seeded Texas Longhorns, and the sixth seeded Stanford Cardinal. For great programs, each with a proud volleyball tradition and a desire to add one more championship banner to the rafters. All three of these matches will be televised on ESPN2, beginning Thursday might, December 15.<\/p>\n Second Bic. NAIA Women\u2019s Volleyball Final Poll.<\/h3>\nHastings College won the 2016 NAIA Women\u2019s National Volleyball Championship with a 3-2 (23-25, 15-25, 25-16, 25-22 & 15-6) victory over the Dordt Defenders in the Tyson Events Center in Sioux City, Iowa. The Hastings Broncos came back from a 2-0 deficit to claim the title in their first ever trip to the championship match. And, here\u2019s the NAIA 2016 Tachikara-NAIA Volleyball Coaches\u2019 Postseason Poll from December 7, 2016.<\/p>\n (http:\/\/www.naia.org\/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=27900&ATCLID=211345793<\/a>).<\/p>\n
