Pat has opened a Volleyball board in response to discussions with the AVCA.

Here is another sport that we D3fans can use to talk about the teams of our favorite sport.

Noticed UT-Tyler and Texas Lutheran won last night. McMurry plays later. ETBU-UT-Dallas figures to be interesting.

NAthCon squads' all-time volleyball records vs. ASC squads (this is only as long as the NAthCon's been in existence) is 2-2.

Lakeland knocked off Hardin-Simmons one of the years the Cowgirls later qualifed for NCAA's.

Howard Payne lost a 5-gamer to Dominican-IL in '07

Sul Ross State has gone 1-1 vs. NAthCon squads--beating Benedictine-IL a couple of years back, and losing to WLC last year.

Props to Hardin-Simmons for getting off the schneid in conference last night!

McMurry put one in the win column 9/19 and HSU also won, per ASC results.

McMurry lost in 3 to HSU on the road this evening (25-14, 25-23, 25-22)

Latest in-conference standings indicate that UT-Dallas (9-0) and ETBU (10-1) are separating from the rest in the East. HSU is on-top in the West, where several teams are still in contention.

WLCALUM83

Per standings off ASC site 4 of the 6 tournament spots have been filled. McMurry and Schreiner are still duking it out for the final spot in the West, one team in the East will get in with a below .500 in-conference record.

Heard ETBU knocked off Concordia-WI in 3  --no surprise there, figured there'd be a big-time rebound after that heart-breaking loss to UT-Dallas no matter who the opponent would have been.

ASC Tournament Pairings are now set:

They came together late in the season.  The key was the win over TLU.

They played a very competitive schedule...

UTDallas
Colorado College
Puget Sound
Southwestern
Stevens Tech

All are regionally ranked

They also played HSU and Austin College.

From Kyle Robarts press release...

QuoteRICHARDSON – It's beginning to feel like 2007 all over again. McMurry
defeated East Texas Baptist 25-23, 25-21, 24-26, 25-16 Friday in the
quarterfinals of the American Southwest Conference
and will play
Hardin-Simmons at 5 p.m. Friday for the semifinals round.

Two years ago McMurry had the same scenario in the same gym at
UT-Dallas and defeated ETBU in five sets. However, Hardin-Simmons
defeated McMurry in three sets to end the season and in 2009, McMurry
will look to change its fate against the Cowgirls who defeated McMurry
twice in the regular season.

Bailey Marcum, Terah Brown and Danielle Kelton helped lead McMurry's
offensive unit Friday with 13, 10 and nine kills apiece while the team
hit .201. Marcum hit .273 for the match and continued her hot streak
against ETBU. She had 19 kills in the win over the Tigers during the
regular season Oct. 16. ...

Looks like a Hardin-Simmons/UT-Dallas final:
