TigersTigers 80 Report post Posted September 29 Towson emerges from their toughest road weekend of the season 1-1, with a 3-1 loss to the Blue Hens on Saturday followed up by a 3-2 win on Sunday. The two front runners in the conference looked like exactly that, and I would be willing to put money on the CAA Championship match being a rematch in November. There honestly isn’t that much to say about the weekend that we don’t already know. Saturday was bad and Sunday was good, and that’s what it will come down to when these teams inevitably meet again. I will say that we’re definitely seeing some growth from this team, and that was apparent today. The setting was much improved, and the out-of-system defense looked a lot more coordinated and cohesive today. Shout out to Sarah Callendar, who was absolutely terrific in both matches this weekend. She attacked confidently and very cleanly, only making a combined 2 hitting errors across the series. That style pairs perfectly with Vic Barrett, who racks up kills but also tends to compile more errors as well. With Callendar at her back taking really good care of the ball, it gives her more of a green light to take risks and be aggressive. Lastly, the biggest positive from the weekend was the return from injury of Erin Brothers. She wasn’t super involved on Saturday, but on Sunday she showed just how big of a difference her presence can make for this team, putting up 10 kills with zero errors. In fact, her and de Mango combined to hit .586 from the middle on Sunday against a Delaware team that usually has a huge advantage over their opponents in that phase of the game. Overall, it obviously wasn’t a perfect weekend, but this team is clearly improving, and the second match was the best one they’ve played all season so far. If nonconference instilled some mild doubts in this team’s ability to win the conference with a new group of players, this weekend silenced them. The Tigers still have what it takes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TigersTigers 80 Report post Posted October 7 Not much to see this weekend from the Tigers, as they beat NC A&T twice without dropping a single set. Vic Barrett won Offensive POTW yet again, and the Tigers will move into another tough road weekend at Charleston with a lot of confidence. The Cougars are looking very strong this season, and currently sit at 5-1, tied atop the standings with 4 other teams. Charleston has historically been the toughest place to play for Towson, but the last couple of seasons have been more fruitful in that regard. This weekend will tell us a lot about the strength of the “other” competitors in the conference, and if any of them can really challenge Towson and Delaware. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris Datres 455 Report post Posted Saturday at 03:57 PM Game was the free one on the Flo Youtube channel and it was a rough watch. A lot of errors and the hitting percentage was abysmal. We barely held a lead in any of the 3 games. It looks as if the rest of the conference has caught up to us and we've certainly taken a step back with graduation and departures. Get the split today.

TigersTigers 80 Report post Posted Saturday at 07:44 PM The worst weekend of volleyball Towson has had in six years. Awful in serve receive. Served lollipops. Stupid attacking decisions. Zero defensive composure. Zero clutchness whatsoever. Didn’t even turn up for the Friday match, completely fumbled a winnable Saturday match. There is nothing good to say, so I won’t say anything else at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
