Hofstra volleyball 2026

[stuball888]

So I started the thread for this season yesterday we beat High point 3-1
We are playing Connecticut right now. We won the first two sets by scores of 25.-23 25-11
After this match later tonight we play #10 Penn State
Our OC schedule this year is much harder than last year
Coach Emily mansur is challenging the squad, which is a mixture of young players and veterans

[stuball888]

So we finish off Connecticut in the third set by a score of 25-14
After a close first set, we blew Connecticut out in the next two sets
Now we face a real challenge in #10 Penn State, which we play tonight at 6:30 PM
Good luck, ladies let's bring this upset home

[stuball888]

Well reality
hits hard Penn State takes the first two sets 25-20 and 25-9
They lead in the 3rd set 9-3

Hofstra did not quit lost the third set 25-23
Considering that this is the number 10 team in the country, this team fought hard and was not intimidated by them

Very impressive to play a national power that close in two of three sets. Hopefully a good omen for this team making another deep postseason run and hopefully winning it this time.

Overall a good weekend to start the season.

Agree, very good start and showing thus far, this program feels like it's re-establishing itself recently - great to see - I really need to see a match in person, never been, but certainly following and rooting them on

We face a very good team in Yale tonight
First set is over Hofstra wins26-24

[triplec2195]

I don't know anything about Yale but they come back from a 2 game deficit to win in 5. A disappointing loss for this team who are playing with quite a few underclasswomen.

[stuball888]

Yale was #2 in the Ivy league
A solid mid major
This team lost two of their better outside hitters
We are not as deep as ladt years team
That said I expect Emily to make the necessary adjustments so the team gets better as the season goes along

[stuball888]

One of the thing I might add if I read the stats right, we actually had 20 service errors. That's an insane amount so we wound up beating ourselves.

[stuball888]

We just finished playing Santa Clara with much better results
They too are a very solid squad
We beat them in three close sets 25-23 25-20 25-22
Emily made the adjustment she needed to make and have the team focused for all three sets

[triplec2195]

In the second game Manhattan came in a 0-5 and left 0-6. We beat them easily scores were 25-15,25-15 and 25-20. We were able tro get some players in the game that haven't seen the floor. Stella Becker from Bellmore getting some minutes finished with 4 kills. Her first points for her now a sophomore. We're now 4-2.

Watched the Army highlights, great work by these ladies to comeback after losing the first 2 in tough matches to win the next 3! And I have to say, our court looks great, and it looked like a legit crowd - really great to see - I'm seeing a LOT of momentum in womens college volleyball in recent years, it's a big sport that seems to be growing in interest - saw Nebraska vs Missouri at WRIGLEY FIELD a few days ago, was quite a sight! Great to see HU putting out a quality product here. I'm certainly no expert, but watching more P4 games on tv, and to my "green" eyes our girls looked pretty capable.

Wildly I've never been to a match, not even during FK's time, just wasn't really on my radar - but I'll have to check it out sometime. Having girls of course has opened my world to the womens side of sports

[stuball888]

We sweep Hampton on Friday and Saturday I record now stands at 7-3 aNd 2-0 in conference

[stuball888]

[stuball888]
