Sitting at 1-11 right now. 13-17 in 2019, 22-9 in 2018.

What happened?

Not sure, but I noticed that we lost to Coastal Carolina last night. They are, like the FB team, undefeated and ranked #15 in the country.

Yep, I think that's part of it! Then the team was hit with a Covid outbreak that kept them out of competition until the rest of the league had 7 or 8 matches under their belts. That plus the rest of the Belt seems to have separated from us talent-wise in the last couple of seasons. Something else seems to be amiss. I'll speculate--it's still 2020.

I just hope our program gets the swagger back. They're fun to follow when they're flying high, playing well and having a blast.

It was neat that Coach Ginipro picked up his 200th win at ASU! And great to see Lexi Kohut bounce back from a lower body (knee) injury that caused her to miss most of last season and could have ended her playing career. She played this entire season as our "go-to" outside hitter, hampered by a heavy brace on her knee. She still led her team in kills. I wonder if she'll try to get a waiver to get an extra year of eligibility.
