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.

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.

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.
