Looks like volleyball continues to be a bright spot in the Towson sports world. 12-0 in non conference play with just dropping 4 sets total.

Props to the volleyball team.  To help some of us who do not know the volleyball terrain, any upsets in these 12 matches or were they exoected to win those matches?

Your guess is as good as mine! My volley ball knowledge is that pac 12 and big ten teams are usually all ranked. 
schedule looks like mostly local teams. But 12 wins in a row at Towson, in anything, is good and should celebrated

It’s my time to shine! No, none of those matches were upsets. Navy, Princeton, Loyola and FAU were all good wins, but at this point Towson is a top-50 team that should be beating most mid-majors. I was a little disappointed to see no Power-5 teams on the schedule this year. Not only do we have a quality team, but our track record against the P5 the last couple of years has been quite good. Overall, the non-conference schedule was weaker than it should’ve been for a team that was expected to be this strong going in to the year.

Not the end of the world. It's better for them to have a loss anyway, takes some of the pressure off. A COVID-induced change has been made to the competition format this season. Similar to basketball, teams now play both games against the same team in one weekend. They capitalized on the newfound chance for immediate revenge, winning 3-1 this afternoon.

Huge double-header coming up this weekend on the road against JMU. Both teams sit at 9-3, tied atop the CAA standings. If Towson wins both matches, it'll pretty much guarantee a first round bye for the conference tournament (top 2 seeds get byes, 3-6 play in the quarterfinals, 7-9 are eliminated). JMU has looked better than Towson so far this season, but the Tigers will be boosted by the full return of their best offensive player, Nina Cajic, who had missed the last 8 matches with a broken hand before returning on Sunday for some limited action against Delaware.

JMU won't be eligible for the conference championship once the move to the SunBelt is announced. The v-ball team could be deflated this weekend as a result -- or more determined than ever to show they are the cream of the CAA crop. I suspect the latter will be true, so we'll have our work cut out for us.
