My Central/Midwest VB blog is still around.

UW-Oshkosh showed why they're one of 3 WIAC schools currently in the AVCA Top 25 by beating WLC on the road, 3 games to 1.

I'd venture to say that beating WLC in four is hardly worthy of a mention when it comes to D3 rankings.

Some first WIAC in-conference meet results:

UW-Oshkosh goes 2-0
UW-Whitewater and UW-Eau Claire go 1-1

Live stats, audio and video tonight tomorrow (doh!) for the Oshkosh vs. Whitewater showdown. First serve scheduled for 7. If you see me at the match, stop by and say hello. I'll be the handsome guy in the stands.

EDIT: I should make that live "scoring," not live stats. And to be honest, I'm below average in appearance. You can still say hello, though.

Probably a positive development for the WIAC. Oshkosh will still be in and likely to host. Now the loser of UWW and UWEC has a good shot too.

UW-Whitewater took the WIAC Tourney Title by beating Eau-Claire in 3, per WIAC site.

Oshkosh snuck  past Platteville 3-2 in the consolation match.

Three WIAC schools earn Pool C bids (out of 19 possible) to the NCAA Volleyball Regionals starting this week.

Oshkosh (who is hosting their Regional) and Eau Claire earn Pool C bids to the Oshkosh Regional, while they are joined by fellow WIAC school and Automatic Qulaifier Whitewater.

Platteville surprisingly also earns a Pool C bid and will travel to the Washington (MO) Regional along with fellow WI school Carthage College for their opening round game.

It would not surprise me one bit to see an All-WIAC Regional Final in Oshkosh seeing that Carthage is not making the trip to Oshkosh this year.

Could also have an all-MIAC regional final as well if things worked out for 2 of the 3 MIAC teams in that regional. In terms of number of nationally ranked squads-Oshkosh and Hope -on paper- appear to be the toughest regioals.

I know it's the off-season, however some news that I thought was interesting to say the least....

There is a two-time All WIAC selection that is deciding to transfer following the end of the school year.  She has two years of eligibility left, but it is unknown if she will continue her volleyball career at this time.

If she's looking to play all rotations somewhere else, UWO loses two All-America hitters, including a right-side next year. Just sayin' ...
