Volleyball defeated Murray State last night to make it 6 of 8 and 2-0 in Valley play.
Soccer lost their homecoming match last night.
But good luck trying to find the stories on either of those teams on the official department website.

A long tradition of excellence has been tossed in the trash. |

You shouldn't be optimistic about WBB. They will finish last in the MVC again. That program is a dumpster fire. |

"cautiously" is the word I focused on. Why not be a bit optimistic for once? If they are bad again we'll have plenty of time to be miserable. I frankly won't be miserable if they are bad. |

Either way, it's still hard to be worse than last year.

Either way, it's still hard to be worse than last year. Challenge accepted!! But I do think the VB program has the right coach. Hopefully they continue to improve. |

Braves swept SIU 3-0 last night to improve to 8-7 (3-0). They are at Missouri State tonight. Bears are 0-4, but it's a tough 0-4. Big chance to make it 6 wins in a row and stay unbeaten in league.

Braves lose 3-1 to Bears, but they were in every set, for the most part - 23-25, 25-16, 18-25, 18-25

Another weekend sweep for the Braves with wins over Evansville and Indiana State to improve to 5-1 in Valley play and 10-8 overall. Things get real though now as the Braves face Illinois St (5-1), Drake (6-0) and UNI (6-0) then a road trip to Valpo and UIC (preseason favorites, currently 5-2).

Squirrel, did I see right that this is the volleyball squad's best start since 2002?

Squirrel, did I see right that this is the volleyball squad's best start since 2002? That sounds right. I can't think of any season in between where it would have been possible. Also talk about dominance: With Illinois State coming up - ISU has won 78 of 92 all-time matches in volleyball. 3 of Bradley's 14 wins came in the 2001 and 2002 seasons. |

Braves lost all 3 matches last week, but were competitive against ISU and Drake (both 3-2 losses), but beaten soundly by UNI 3-0 (14-7, 9-0).
This week they are on the road to Valpo and preseason favorites UIC (risen to 3rd) - so a split with a good showing against UIC would be a good sign.
Bradley currently sit tied for 5th with Murray State, but have fallen a game below .500 overall.
5 of their 7 remaining league matches are against teams in the bottom 6 of the standings, with Murray and Illinois State rounding out the Braves schedule.
Great opportunity for the team to surprise and lock an upper-division league finish, after being picked for 11th of 12 teams.

Unfortunately the Braves lost both ends of their weekend to UIC and Valpo.
