We were absolutely outplayed today and GSU takes the weekend. I believe that makes it a 6 match slide we are on.

Lost game 2 against GaSt as well.
This is my very generic signature added to each post.

Re: 2025 Women's Volleyball Season
It is a shame what has happened to this program. Going from 1st place to this disaster. The coach is not up to the job, there was enough talent to win, but he clearly lost the locker room. Players looked afraid to make mistakes (and from what I have heard, they had every reason to be afraid, based on how he talked to them). Very questionable strategy decisions, especially at setter.

Speaking of commitments, the resumes for the incoming athletes in softball and track & field are as good as I can ever remember.

Re: 2025 Women's Volleyball Season
The new facilities are helping. When they first removed the track from football the track program didnt have a home meet for 3 years and nowhere to practice. The old softball field was so bad, poor drainage, short right field, tiny locker rooms. I'm not sure what theyve finished at the new softball facilities (i think hitting cage and locker rooms still needed to be done at the end of the spring season), but I bet having those upgraded spaces is helpful to them.

Re: 2025 Women's Volleyball Season
I have no inside knowledge on this - but I have noticed the same thing re: how he talks to players by just watching him courtside. His demeanor and Valerie's is more akin to that of a football coach screaming at everyone than it is what you typically see in volleyball. It can honestly be uncomfortable to watch at times. At first I just chalked it up to him having a different philosophy than Sarah but the more I watch volleyball in general the more I have questioned it.
Ed Tolentino acts more like a coach.
