Ohio match at the Bobcat Invitational

Will update as the game goes on. Football on one screen volleyball set to start on the second. Keeping sound off in case of a repeat of yesterday’s announcing crew.

ISU wins set 1 25-18

Doesn’t look like Nayeli s on the sidelines. Hoping everything is okay with her.

ISU pulls out set 2 25-23.

Lots of serving mistakes and gave up to many Aces. But showed grit.

Final set a win 25-13. Lots of challenges. ISU walks away with another 3 set win for the invite.

I would like to know how the conversation went with CJL after the last challenge. The last two were obvious and didn’t get overturned… just terrible!

Will they play again today? I thought they might since Eastern Illinois was also part of the tournament, but it looks like only Ohio has the Third game?

Why are we playing all of these non-P5 schools? We used to travel to big name tournaments out east, out west, and south. Is it because of budget cuts to Olympic sports?
This isn’t getting us ready to compete against the Arizona States, KU’s, and BYU’s of the world - by playing these teams…

Could be budget cuts as you suggest.

For sure, last year's results and predicted result this season didn't inspire sponsors/networks of the big name tournaments to have interest in ISU.

And it could be CJL wanted to lighten up the non con schedule in light of the Gonzalez injury situation.
