What a well-played match against Xavier. The team was so well prepared and played with such intensity. Sinnette, Vuj and Speech all strong throughout the match. King and Adekunle really shined at key moments. Pivlonka was steady and defense by Higs and Cusi was on point. So nice to see Wilhite back! A great crowd in the building, too! Keep rising, Hoyas!

Holding Xavier to negative hitting percentage is really strong. Good win. Need to beat a struggling Butler squad to have any chance at the BE tourney.
I don't know the tie breakers but the GU site is silent on what needs to be done and the Villanova writeup says they go to the tourney with a win over Xavier. Not sure if that is correct but I am a huge Xavier fan today.

I am also a big Xavier fan this weekend, Hoyawwatcher. Apparently Villanova must lose to Xavier tonight for Hoyas to remain in fourth place. (If both GT and Villanova win tonight, Villanova will be in fourth since they beat GT in 3 sets, and Hoyas beat Villanova in 5.) Nice win yesterday. Rens needs to take blinders off and pull Vujosevic the minute she starts making errors. Negatively impacts team. Glad to see Rens put in Wilhite for Adekenle and King for Hamling. Major difference in quality of play. Hamling, Adekunle, and Vujosevic struggled in matches against DePaul and Seton Hall, which ultimately may be reason that costs Hoyas trip to Omaha next week. Not their fault: coach should have made necessary adjustments during those matches. But better late than never. Must beat Butler today, and hope Xavier pulls out a surprise victory. Hoya Saxa!

One set down, coming back from down 22-18 to win 25-23.
Two more to go.

Xavier's other setter is not likely to play. This gives Villanova a great advantage. V will have to play very poorly to lose. And that's a shame for the Hoyas. Such nice, strong finish for Georgetown. Job WELL DONE to all the players and all the coaches for a special season. Now let's hope for some luck, but I'm not paying Villanova to watch this, so on to reading the stats. And praying.

Villanova won first set. Last checked, Villanova winning second set. Unless there is a miracle, Hoyas will be in fifth place. Tough way to end season. Wish Rens had dumped the 6-2 rotation that he persisted in running for way too many losing games. Cost the team losses-Seton Hall and DePaul come to mind-that should have been wins. Wouldn’t have been at the mercy of a Villanova loss. Will keep praying for that miracle, but enjoyed watching the Hoyas. Overall great season. Hoya Saxa!

Villanova did win. So no sugar for the Hoyas. I am sure there are a ton of shoulda woulda couldas throughout the season but still a good season and transition. Congrats to the Hoyas. And to Rens.
Now from the what have you done for me lately category, looking forward to seeing who the Hoyas signed and how they replace an all BE middle among others.
