2024 SLU Volleyball

[Lord Elrond]

No TV, checked in on stats during the women’s soccer halftime, Drake won the first set 25-18, SLU won the second 25-23, so 1-1.

Drake has played a preposterously difficult schedule. 

[Lord Elrond]

Yep, but SLU just won set 4, it’s 2-2. Wish I could see it on TV.

[Lord Elrond]

Lost the 5th set 15-13, Drake wins 3-2. SLU took them all the way, as close a loss as you can get.

Biggest win of ABs SLU career?  Bills knock off host Iowa 3-1.   Bounced back from yesterday’s heartbreaker.   Well done!

Iowa went winless in the Big Ten last year. Probably their best win so far. Love that they won in 4, especially when Iowa led in that 4th set. Love that 4 players hit .200. A true road win Vs a Big Ten team is something to build on for sure.

Billikens lose 3-1 to South Dakota, although they extended the 4th set to 30-28. SLU now 5-7 heading into conference play. Conference play starts with 2 matches at Fordham next Friday and Saturday.

[Lord Elrond]

Billikens beat Fordham in 5 sets today to start out the A10 season with a win, they play them again tomorrow.

[Lord Elrond]

3-0 the Billikens sweep Fordham today. 2-0 start in A10 play for SLU, next up at Loy-Chi Tuesday night, then home to take on Duquesne Friday and Saturday. Off to a good start in conference play.

Competed, but lost to Loyola 1-3 last night.  That was a long road trip for them as apparently they went straight from Fordham to Loyola.  Let's hope for some needed rest and 2 wins against Duquesne at home!

[Lord Elrond]

We’re off at Chaifetz Pavilion, Duquesne in town. Love the detail of where they keep the game balls in, some old cardboard box with SLU BB Game Balls written on it.

[Lord Elrond]

Down 1-0 after set 1, let them get going and couldn’t get back into the lead.

[Lord Elrond]

25-20, Billikens take set 2, match is now 1-1. 

[Lord Elrond]

25-17 SLU takes set 3, 2-1 match advantage Billikens. When this team gets rolling it looks great. 

[Lord Elrond]

25-20 Duquesne set 4, really thought the Billikens would come back on that on. 2-2 Match, set 5 coming on.

[Lord Elrond]

When Addy Brus gets a kill, the proper response is to yell “BRUUUUUUUS”!

[Lord Elrond]

15-12 Billikens win5th, match goes to SLU!

[Lord Elrond]

You know the game’s about to start when they bring out the game balls

[Lord Elrond]

25-22 Duquesne takes set 1

[Lord Elrond]

25-21 SLU in set 2, match is 1-1. Looks like last nights game is on replay

[Lord Elrond]

25-23 Dukes take set 3. 

[Lord Elrond]

25-16 Billikens in set 4, all tied 2-2, on to set 5. 

[Lord Elrond]

15-11 Biilkens lose set5, split with Dukes this weekend 

[Lord Elrond]

3-1 loss to Davidson, 24-26, 17-25, 25-16, 16-25. Just didn’t have it tonight. Off to the MBB game, at least it’s a short walk.

[Lord Elrond]

Davidson wins 3-0, sets were 18-23, 23-25, 23-25. Now 8-13 overall, 3-6 in the A10
