So we end up with the AVCA #1 vs #2 for the 'ship.  Juniata has been dominating all year and in the tournament.  Hope is on a string of 4 straight 5 set wins (a record in the D3 VB tournament).  Looking forward to Saturday!!

In the Hope v CMS match last night/this morning (yawn), the commentators on the live stream talked about the impact of the large crowd/hostile environment in CMS defeating Oshkosh so handily.   They were talking about that it would impact Hope as well, but it didn't (at least not to a large part), and I believe that is due to Hope being very accustomed to that kind of environment.  Hope v Calvin matches in particular, have very large crowds, and the games @ Calvin are just like the CMS crowds - maybe moreso.  There were 2578 attending the last Hope @ Calvin match.
