Great win at Howard to start the season, 3 sets to 1 (and the third set could have gone the other way to make it a sweep). guhoyas.com/news/2023/8/25/womens-volleyball-hoyas-down-bison-in-four-sets.aspx(Last year, the Hoyas lost at home, 3-0, to this Howard team which has been the class of the DC area for a while). Great energy around the new this summer with the new coaching staff. And looking forward to seeing how they can compete in the Big East. Potentially a similar trajectory as what we met hoping for the men’s basketball team, with a good staff helping the team become more—rather than less—than the sum of its parts. |

Giselle Williams serving to close out the first set of the season and the clinching set of the match. |

And followed it up with a 3-0 sweep at George Mason (avenging last year’s 3-1 loss at home). Giselle didn’t play today, but no idea if there was an injury involved or if the staff is trying to see what kind of depth they have—or possibly doing some load management since she’s fought through some injuries in prior seasons.
Either way, heckuva start to the season after last year’s nadir. (The Hoyas didn’t win their sixth set until their 8th game last season, so nice to set the tone with two comfortable wins).
