  • Volleyball season is here!

    The #21 ranked UNI Panther volleyball team starts out the 2012 season with a doozie right out of the gate, as they travel to West Lafayette, Indiana for a match with the #9 Purdue Boilermakers.

    First serve is scheduled for 6 p.m. Central. The match will be broadcast on the radio on KWLO 1330 AM with Chris Kleinhans-Schultz calling the action, and there will also be audio available on unipanthers.com (although that may require a premium subscription, I dunno).

    Looks like Purdue will have a free live audio stream for the match (with their announcers, I'm sure), as well as live stats, (and live video if you want to buy a subscription to their stuff and/or BigTen all-access), links to any of that can be found on the tournament central page:

    And also I happened across a video clip that I thought was interesting, with Purdue Coach Dave Shondell (a respected veteran coach) "scouting" the match against UNI:

      Looks like it's going to be a good game!
      Raised a Hawkeye, Panther by choice.

          Purdue strings together a 4-pt run to take set one: 25-23. damn.

            Turk is setting for the Panthers, Burke as libero as expected. Lehman, Braun, Ubben, Shelby Kintzel, Degeest, and Willms in the rotation as well.

              Terrible stretch of attack errors and violations. Ugh! shooting themselves in the foot.

                  evidently so is the UNI vb team.

                  Panthers had fought back to make the second set close, but lost 23-25. And the wheels seem to have fallen off in the third set. Purdue leading 13-5. Not pretty.

                    Purdue is ranked 9th in the country. UNI has a new setter plus I'm sure some different plays since Molly is not a hitter like Bre was. To hang in there 23-25, 23-25, and 18-25 in the first match isn't terrible. I know they will improve with every match.

                      And the nation's (or at least NCAA Div. I volleyball's) longest road winning streak (according to the UNI radio guy) comes to an end, as Purdue takes the third set 25-18.

                      T'was the first road loss for the Panthers (also the first time they were swept) since the match against Iowa State at Ames High School back in 2010.

                      Not that good of a day for the MVC overall in volleyball.
                      Evansville was swept at Arizona (19-25,20-25,14-25)
                      SIU lost to Eastern Michigan at Memphis (21-25,23-25,25-12,19-25)
                      Illinois State lost to VCU at Ball State (24-25,25-24,20-25,16-25)
                      And Wichita State lost to New Mexico State at NIU (30-28,16-25,20-25,24-26)

                      Bradley did beat Elon at NC Central (25-22,25-12,25-16)
                      And Creighton beat Central Florida at USF (16-25,25-14,25-20,25-22)

                      Haven't seen results for Indiana State vs. Butler at Depaul, and there are 4 matches that are still in progress

                        True, true. I just felt (and it seems to be echoed by Kalani in the postgame interview) that the potential to win was there, but UNI just wasn't able to execute, which is always frustrating.

                              It's at least reassuring to see that we were right in that match with that high quality of a team. Still looking forward to a stellar season, just gotta go out and take it to Pitt and Georgetown
