Who's going to step up and challenge CNU?
2011 USAC Preseason Poll:
Team (First Place Votes) Total Pts
1. Christopher Newport (9) 81
2. N.C. Wesleyan 65
3. Averett (1) 64
4. Greensboro 59
5. Methodist 56
T6. Meredith 35
T6. Peace 35
8. Shenandoah 29
9. Ferrum 15
10. Mary Baldwin 11
I'm going with Averett-- given that squad's got a new assistant coach.

Pretty big upset, but I think USCGA is a top 25-caliber team. I had the Bears in my preseason top 30 (http://uwoshvball.wordpress.com/2011/08/02/ricky-nelsons-preseason-top-10/).

Yes they did, it was a very close one. I suppose if you have to lose to an unranked team in 5 sets, this is the time to do it.
Christopher Newport/NC Wesleyan on deck: (Pardon the pun)
Final: Christopher Newport over NC Wesleyan in 3
(25-17, 25-17, 25-11)
NC Wes: Ayers 19 digs
CNU: Jensen & Harris 13 kills each --3 players with 11 or more digs
Tourney play starts tomorrow, how is everyone feeling about their chances?
Noticed both NC Wes and Averett have both won 4 of their last 6 reg season matches. If CNU's Heavenrich is back at full strength, your Captains will be tough to beat, though.
Joining CNU/NC Wesleyan in progress (early in 1st set).
Final: CNU over NC Wes
(25-5, 25-11, 25-14)
CNU hitting percentage: (.577)
