VCU wins again in 5 sets. Wasn't close -- 15-7.

Kriskova took 64 swings and hit .234 with 27 kills, 12 errors. scored 5.8 points/set. Huge numbers. It underscores how well Dayton contained her on Friday.

Looks like the ladies went into shut down mode again. unbelievable how they go into these funks, or meltdowns then have to fight back.

Lets see what they are made of.

Wins set 3 25-18. UD leads set 2-1 but mo with SLU. Matt can't be too happy. Duq took SLU in 3 sets.

SLU takes set 4 25-21. Going to 5th and final set. First tp 15 wins the match.

Can the flyers dig themselves out of their funk. Doesn't look like anyone has much respect for this flyers team, at lest there is no fear or intmidation factor.

Flyers lose in another 5 set match. SLU down 2-0 cmoes back to sweep the next 3 sets after intermission and give Dayton their first 0-2 start since Moses led the Israelites to the promised land.

When was the last time Dayton was in last place in the A-10????

Well we didn't have to wait till next week to see where the flyers will end up in the A-10. First time in a decade UD is looking at not making post season play.

This is the same team that went 28-5 last year without Kray, Sam and Paige right?

Lot of soul searching for both players and coaches.

Going to be a long season....

Matt did not come for the post game interview guess he is at a loss of words....and answers.

That was hard to watch. Win the first set pretty convincingly, and then it was downhill from there. Only win the 2nd set by 2, then lost the last 3. Ouch.

SLU was 4-10. This was a home court loss after being up 2-0. I think its safe to say this is the worst loss in the program in the last 10 seasons -- or at least since that headscratching loss at WSU about 5 years ago.

With the serve receive and passing however, I dont think we can be too surprised. We are what we are. Affolder doesn't have 2-3 Olympians riding the pine that can fix this in the near term. I feel for him. He's been playing with a deck stacked against him since the spring.

I thought after coming back from Nebraska we might have turned a corner.

I agree Chris.

I think that matt has done a great job of honestly answering post game questions without throwing players under the bus. But, I think after this match there wouldn't have been a choice but to throw them under the bus.

I feel bad for matt because of the hand he was dealt and losing two players as he did. That was a terrible way to lose at home. It will be really tough to improve enough to win the A10 tournament but it can be done.

Honestly I don't think this is a good week to be asking the coach any questions. He even avoided the post game show. His statement still stands; after the VCU match Matt said the team shut down after set 1, and they seem to have done it again tonight. Why would be anyone's guess. Its a pattern that needs nipped in the bud and now.

In Aliana's interview with flyernews she said that Kray was a calming effect for her and the team when things got challenging. It seems the team misses that and apparently no one on the team has taken that leadership position.

The team has 3 freshmen (lost two); 5 sophomores (lost one); two juniors and three seniors. So its a relatively young team that could use one of the upperclassmen to step up and take that leadership role if they haven't already. Coaches can do only so much and the players have to take some responsibility.

Right now an upperclassman needs have a sincere meeting with the team to talk things out.

I agree AvidFlyer, I had decided against questions myself.

I also agree about leadership. The team's leaders are Megan and Shayne but it is really difficult for someone to be a leader when they aren't on the floor all the time.
