2023 Volleyball thread

Recommended Posts

And the run comes to an end. Congratulations to Delaware, who played an unreal match and deserved the victory. Statistically speaking, Towson actually played a good match too. It was high level volleyball and Delaware are a team worthy of ending the dynasty. Nina Cajic, Irbe Lazda, Aayinde Smith, Rachel Hess, and a few others now say goodbye to the Towson program. I want to congratulate all of them on forming the nucleus of the best Towson Volleyball teams of all time, and wish them all the best of luck in the future. As for those who do return, we can’t pout forever. There is still a lot of talent in that gym, and the Tigers will compete again for the title next season. Onward we march.

Good to hear we have the framework to continue success.  Because they won the regular season this year means we already know we host next year correct?  TigersTigers thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, speaking for myself your commentary helped me enjoy this team even more these past seasons and looking forward to more.

Big loss. Towson has not had a starting-caliber player voluntarily leave the program before graduating since 2014. One starter was kicked off the team in 2017, and one graduated a season early in 2019. Other than that, there has been extremely low turnover in the starting lineup from season-to-season. There has been considerably higher attrition among non-starters, in large part because the starting lineup never changes. Don is an all-or-nothing coach, you’re either one of his favorites or you’re not. It’ll be interesting to see where they go from here; since Don arrived Towson has been extremely savvy and active in the transfer market, picking up a boatload of high level players from the portal. I wouldn’t be surprised if it happened again.

None of these others are particularly surprising or damaging. Sara Wasiakowska and Aayinde Smith are both graduating from Towson and moving on to grad school, and got proper senior night send-offs. Jas Purakal is a backup Defensive Specialist who rarely played.
