Fordham 2 Match
Not to overlook RI on Friday, but I wanted to make sure everyone knows Sunday's 1 pm match against Fordham is Senior Day. These 5 seniors are the "transition" class that either stayed with their commitment to UD or came on late when the program changed coaches.
They have all made contributions to this program over the last 4 years and I hope you'll be able to honor them on Sunday with your attendance.
Congrats to all: Amber Earhon, Jess Sloan, Jane Emmenecker, Maggie Schutter and Laura Hubacek.
Wins and losses will fade away, but the friendships you've made during your time at UD can last a lifetime. And the VB Alums will welcome you with open arms. It's an amazing group of women.

Need to get on a roll early and bury the Rams. Don't know if Weaver will be available today, but we should not need her this match or next week. I'm all for doing whatever we can to have everyone healthy for the A10 Tourney.
Go Flyers. We played well on Friday. Let's keep this thing rolling.

Weaver is not dressed to play. UD wins first set 25-16. Slow start for the Flyers, but took the second half nicely.

12-3 Rams to start second set. Geez. Horsmon eschews a TO - which is pretty normal for him when playing an inferior opponent.

25-18 Fordham second set. We could not handle Fairchild's serve and she was killing us at the net as well.

Fordham’s entire game can be summed up in 2 words: digging, and Fairchild. UD seems to struggle v strong lefties and Fairchild is the strongest in the A10. Our passing is making crisp offense tough, but Fordham is better than their record.

We responded well coming out of half time after dropping the 2nd set. We will see if we close out the forth set as convincing as the third.
As to the 2nd, in an odd sort of way I was happy to see that set. We struggles to contain Fairchild as Fordham loaded up their sets to her Rightside attack. As Udvbfan noted above, she is left handed and if you can find a lefty to attack from the Rightside it is an advantage with the angles.
The reason I was sort of happy with that set...because VCU also has a very good left handed Rightside OH and we need all the practice and an answer for that attack. We struggled with VCU's also. We appeared to respond well to Fairchild in the 3rd because she got a little frustrated to the point the down ref had a little talk with her after UD stopped one of her attacks late in the set.
Let's see if we can continue to shut her down in the fourth set.

Duquesne takes a set off VCU. VCU leads 2-1.

This isn't the first time this year something similar has happened, but I almost feel for these A10 teams when we send in our entire bench and our players keep racking up points.
Today Jordan comes in to serve late and drops 2-3 aces on them. Then Olivia comes in and puts up 2-3 blocks. And on senior day with 5 seniors honored, one might think it will be great not to have to face those players next year. Jordan and Olivia couldn't have been more priceless in sending the message this is a program that reloads, not rebuilds.

Also, Fairchild got a couple in the fourth, as great hitter will do. But I thought we contained her well in the 3rd and 4th sets. It was a great opportunity for us to work on a strong Rightside attack because it's highly probable we will play VCU again.

VCU over Duquesne 3-1. Pretty competitive match. That clinches at least a tie for the A-10 title and #1 seed for VCU (1 match against Davidson remaining). It also pretty much puts Duquesne on the VCU side of the bracket in the A-10 tournament with SLU on our side.

Fordham game - player status
What was the status of Weaver and Bridget Doherty? Stats imply neither played.
Good to see Bruns listed in the box score with 5 blocks. Hope to see a strong blocking game (s) from her in the A-10 tournament.

Doherty was dressed but did not play. Weaver was not dressed at all.
