Valpo goes down 0-3 in  the final to CSU  :(

I don't know how much experience means in volleyball, but this squad loses only 1 senior and made it to the final.  Hopefully next season they'll go all the way.

3:20 Update:  Wow, just looked at the set by set scores. We lost by 12, 9, and 7. Given the little I know about volleyball, that seems like a trouncing??

On your point about only one senior, that senior was injured and din't even play.  As for the score, those were the three worse thumpings of the entire year.  This team showed great strength at times and underclassperson woes at others.  We still haven't broken through with a title after four title games tries.  I suspect we will be the team to beat next year.  Great year overall.

Kelsey Barrington, the senior, who's mother is the VB coach at Eastern Michigan, did play in the HL VB tournament. It was Emily Campbell, who's a junior, was the best player, except for Allison Ketcham, on this year's team was the one who was hurt and only played very little in the tournament.

Next year should shape up to be more successful.  There will be 5 seniors, 4 Juniors and 4 Sophs, many of which played significant minutes this year.
