      (25-19, 25-21, 23-25, 20-25, 15-10)

UT-Dallas:  Wetz--21 kills, 30 digs
Austin College:  Fleming-- 23 kills

It's been nearly a year since anyone posted, so:

Trinity (TX) gets 2011 off to a 3-0 start:
3-1 @ Schreiner (25-18, 25-23, 23-25, 25-15)

at the Trinity Fall Classic:
3-2 vs. NAIA-I Loyola (LA)  (32-34, 24-26, 28-26, 25-16, 16-14)
3-1 vs. #9 Wisconsin-Platteville (23-25, 25-18, 25-19, 26-24)

Notable:  there were over 2000 in attendance for the Platteville game in a show of support for TU senior Catherine Found, who lost both her sister and mother in the last few weeks. 

[WLCALUM83]

That win over Platteville will be big if they don't stumble before the next poll. #2 Emory lost at #5 Wittenberg earlier, so depending on tomorrow's results in the Witt/Juniata/Emory meet and elsewhere, there could be quite a bit of motion in the next poll.

Wittenberg won all its' matches at its' own meet, Juniata and Emory both lost 1 match, and Puget Sound upset Whitworth out west- so there figures to be a lot of shifting when the next poll comes out.

Trinity won the other two matches (3-1 Hardin-Simmons [ASC West preseason favorite], 3-0 East Texas Baptist) so they should show up somewhere in the Top 25 this week.

Hendrix College at 5-1 so far in conference play is going to surprise some teams this season.
Today they beat Trinity 3-0 and Dallas 3-0. Freshman Kylee Spicer is coming on stronger as the season progresses and they have a great setter.

Trinity is losing its VB luster and even with two tough loses and then a win over Rust.....Hendrix is continuing to improve in leaps and bounds.....They have confidence and I think Saturday they will win 2 and possibly lose 1......but they could surprise you.

[Ron Boerger]

Trinity comes back from an 0-2 deficit to defeat Southwestern for the SCAC championship, 17-25, 20-25, 25-19, 25-22, 15-11.   Southwestern defeated #11 Colorado College 3-0 in the semis so we'll see if their strong performance this week results in a Pool C bid; at 26-11 they may be on the outside looking in.   CC (33-4) will get a bid from the West Region.

[Ron Boerger]

Surprised to see Trinity get to host a regional this weekend.  The SCAC got three teams in, Southwestern also got a bid on the strength of their performance last weekend.  Five Texas teams got bids including HSU, UT-Dallas, Mary Hardin-Baylor from the ASC.   Other teams coming along are Cal Lutheran (30-1!), Pomona-Pitzer (20-8), UC-Santa Cruz (20-6).

Colorado College is the #2 seed in the Emory regional.

Let's go Trinity!

[Ron Boerger]

A shame nobody participates on the VB boards any more ... we could talk about the regional at Southwestern this week which has 4 of the top 6 teams in the country, according to AVCA.

Yes, that one guy posted a lot.  I guess he gave up.

I saw WLC is back to posting (in the ASC thread), welcome back WLC!

Happened to catch a note in the Colorado College season opener writeup that their head coach, Rick Swan, will be stepping down after this season.  He will be a very hard act to follow.   The mountain Tigers are fortunate in that they get both Trinity and Southwestern, their primary SCAC competition, at home this season in back-to-back weeks.

Joining Texas Lutheran-St. Thomas (Houston) in progress  (St. Thomas up 1 set to nil).

St. Thomas over TX Lutheran in 3 (and with that, St. Thomas gets the sweep on the day.)
