Joining UT-Dallas/ETBU in progress:

UT-Dallas won in 5 sets.

Is it just me or does it seem like many division 3 programs seem to have 4-5 new girls on the court every season? From what Ive noticed the retention rates for many D3 volleyball programs is very very small? Anyone agree?

I believe that the difference in D3 versus scholarship programs is that the players in scholarship levels are being held to the program by the "velvet glove" of the athletic scholarship.

If those players get financial aid in the D3 model, the financial package is there, whether they play sports or not.  If they forfeit their athletic scholarship, they may not get the same financial package from the school. 

Alright ladies and gents, season is approaching.
Any predictions for the fall? Some of the recruiting classes look impressive....on paper that is.

This poster expects things will be different at McMurry (with Brown having graduated)--LeTourneau, UT-Tyler and one other ASC school having new coaches -it'll be interesting what they bring to the table.

Joining Howard Payne and ARV McMurry in progress:

Final:  McMurry over HPU in 3:
            (25-12, 25-23, 25-10)

McMurry:  Vickers 15 kills  Wilson 14 digs

Congratulations to the ASC Conference Volleyball teams for their record setting efforts toward supporting research for breast cancer!
