    Volleyball is tourney bound

    Women's Volleyball led by Jordan Thompson has won the AAC regular season title and will host next year's 2020 conference tournament at 5/3. Would certainly seem they have the inside track on an NCAA tourney bid as well. They have one more home date vs Tulsa at 5/3 tomorrow at 1:00. Conference tourney for the 2019 season is at UCF on 11/22. UC will be the the #1 seed.

      I thought I saw somewhere that the Finals of the tournament were going to be televised, maybe on ESPNU

        That is correct, per gobearcats.com. The final will be this Sunday, 11/24/19 at 1:30 PM on ESPNU.

        UC's semifinal match will be Saturday afternoon at 3:30 versus either Tulane or Houston.

              UC dropped the match in 5 sets. The Cats were in command in the third set, 24-18, but UCF ran off eight straight points to gain a 2-1 set advantage. UC squeaked out the fourth set, 26-24, but trailed the Knights from the midpoint of Set 5 and fell, 15-10. So, it's just a matter of awaiting the committee's tourney announcement. UC are certain of an at-large bid.

                The volleyball team will head to Pitt for an opening NCAA match against 24-6 VCU Friday afternoon at 4:00. The winner gets the host, #6 Pitt, who likely will demolish Howard in their first match.

                The Cats played at Pitt in the second match of the season, with the Panthers sweeping UC, 3-0.

                  First game is at 4:00 today in Pittsburgh. The game will be broadcast on ESPN3 if you wish to tune in.

                    UC lost first set to VCU, bad all around play. I am not a fan of Mallon and wish Coach Alvey would make some substitutions. Seems like we are getting outplayed and outcoached although it is early. Thompson needs to heat up.. VCU is a great blocking team.

                      The Cats rallied to win three straight games to move on: 20-25, 25-22, 25-19, 25-23. Jordan Thompson had 27 kills. Next up, the winner of host Pitt or Howard. Considering that the Panthers are #6 in the country, I wouldn't bet any paychecks on Howard.

                          UC plays Pitt at 730 tonight. I think they were ranked #2 in country at one time. We shoud have a good match if Thompson is on and if Mallon has fa ew less hitting and service errors. Go Cats
