CMS to Host the 2023 Volleyball NCAA DIII Tournament

The NCAA has announced the sites for their future championships across all sports and all divisions. Looking specifically at volleyball and the 2021 championship (previously announced) will be held in St. Louis, Missouri (hosted by Washington-St. Louis). The just announced future championships will be in Latrobe, Pennsylvania (2022), Claremont, California (2023), Salem, Virginia (2024) and……

Let’s Talk about Errors

Yes, I know I’m supposed to be doing the championship history articles but I don’t want to and you can’t make me! As I procrastinated, I started thinking about how errors impact team’s performance but was disappointed not to be able to gather these statistics from the NCAA database. They have “Team Assists” but they……

Championship History – Midwest Region

We are at the half way point with the conclusion of this article as we go around the DIII volleyball regions and look at the past champions for each conference. If you want to get a jump on everyone else, then don’t read this and just go to the end. I know this will work……

Top 25 – Points/Set

I know what you’re thinking. I’m fixating on Points/Set (P/S) too much. Or maybe I’m tired of researching conferences. Well, jokes on you because both reasons are right. I’ve got this neat spreadsheet of all of the DIII schools with their Points/Set numbers for the last 5-years and a mind that wonders what else it……

Points/Set – Final Four Teams

Way back in July of this year when there were still a number of conferences planning on actually playing volleyball this fall, I wrote a couple of articles about Points per Set (P/S). (That link will get you to the second article, which has a link to the first.) I made a comment at the……

Championship History – Mid-Atlantic Region

This is the third of eight articles where I will look into each DIII volleyball conference. Here is the preamble of what I wrote in the first one in case you missed it or just want to skip it. Oh, the first one was on the Central Region and the second was the Great Lakes……

Championship History – Great Lakes Region

This is the second of eight articles where I will look into each DIII volleyball conference. Here is the preamble of what I wrote in the first one in case you missed it or just want to skip it. This blog has primarily catered to the West Region but I’ve tried to open it up……

Championship History – Central Region

This blog has primarily catered to the West Region but I’ve tried to open it up at times to mixed results. One problem I have when I do this is just the amount of data/stats/stuff that is out there. I get bogged down and who wants a bogged blog? My latest project was suffering the……

ASC Releases Schedule

The ASC has just released their 2020-21 volleyball schedule. As what should be the common approach with other conferences, the ASC is going with a conference only schedule. What may make the ASC unique, however, is that it is restricting play by divisions. The ASC is split into an East and West Division and this……

Roster Roundup

Back to some actual volleyball content today. In the past, I like to go through the rosters and figure out who unexpectedly has left the program. We’ve called this “early retirement” but it basically means what non-senior is no longer with the team. This exercise was made difficult by the fact that a number of……
