Hello Cougar Volleyball Fans--
Not our best showing tonight, as we lost a 5-set match to Martin Luther. We played pretty well the first two sets, winning the first by 2, losing the second by 2. Then struggled in the third before coming from behind to win the fourth set. But in the fifth set we never got rolling and were behind 7-8 at the changeover before falling 9-15. MLC played fantastic, and had 9 kills and 0 errors on 14 attacks in the fifth set.
So... I believe that with St. Scholastica's win tonight they secured the 2 seed in the UMAC Tournament. We are tied with Northland, so if we both win or both lose tomorrow then we finish tied for third and lose the tiebreaker so end up with the 4 seed. If we win and they lose, we would end up with the 3 seed.
Enjoy and hope to see you all tomorrow!

Spook and Splash
Our team had a great time last night reverting back to childhood! The RFC hosted the annual "Spook and Splash" where the local youth dress up in their Halloween costumes and play games and then take a dip in the pool. Our team got to interact and play with the kids, and judging by the photos, may have had more fun then the young ones! Judge for yourself! We have the photos to the right under Flicker.
Off to win our next match in New Ulm!!
Check back later for an update.

Update...
Hello all-
Just a quick update on a couple of things-
First, we will be playing a JV match Saturday morning at 10:30 am (Note the time change) at Bethany Lutheran- the last chance to see them in action this year!
Second, here is a quick update on the playoff scenario- We are definitely in the UMAC Tourney! Northwestern has sown up the #1 seed. The other three teams, UMM, St. Scholastica and Northland could all end up #2-#4 depending on what happens. Should we win out and Northwestern beats both CSS and NC (on the road), we would be the #2 seed and host next week. If we don't win out or if Northwestern loses either, we would most likely be the #3 or #4 seed and travel. Also, the PE Center is home to Sub-Section High School Volleyball playoffs on Tuesday and Thursday next week, so, just as a heads up, if we were to host we may have to play an afternoon game Tuesday or we may move the match to Wednesday night.
Thanks for all your support, keep checking back for updates and have a great weekend!

In the UMAC TOURNEY!
Hello All-
We just finished beating Presentation College in three to clinch a spot in the UMAC Tourney for the first time in our history with the UMAC!!
Not our best performance tonight, but we still defeated PC by scores of 25-22, 25-19, 25-19. We talked about playing great defense against the Saints and ended up with what I believe is a season-high for a 3-set match with 66 digs!! Our effort on defense has continued to improve and we were also able to minimize our unforced errors as we had only 18 hitting errors to go along with 37 kills.
This team has shown a lot of heart the last half of the season and I'm very, very proud of the progress they have made! We are not done yet as we we are still fighting for a higher seed in the UMAC Tourney- as of now we could still end up anywhere from 2-4.
Have a great week and see you this weekend!

Words from Sam
It's getting down to the end of the season, so now every game seems to count even more. We have been playing hard in order to move up from fourth place, and after this weekend that seems very possible, but it all depends how the rest of the teams in our conference perform next week.
We are excited to take on Presentation this Tuesday at home again, and hopefully we can take them in three this time. Then we are on the road to Martin Luther and Bethany Lutheran, both which will be some tough competition if we don't come ready to play. Hopefully when this next week is over and done, the Cougars will be ranked second in the conference and continue playing in November!!!
But before we get ahead of ourselves we need to get through Presentation first, so we are looking forward to seeing you all at our game on Tuesday!!! Wish us luck!!

Another Win... Over Northland!
Hello All-
What an exciting weekend in Cougar Country! We were able to beat Northland in four sets! We lost the first set 19-25, but then played extremely well, never letting Northland get to 20 points in the last 3 sets! Another nice team effort as we have now beaten every team in the conference at least once except Northwestern! Three big matches this week and with at least one win, we'd assure ourselves a playoff spot for the first time in our UMAC history!
Check out Allie, Jen and Natalie in the video on the side--
Have a great week and thanks for all the support!

Win over CSS...
Hello All-
Just posting after our win over St. Scholastica- We played very well tonight- everyone played well, and we defeated the Saints in straight sets! The first and third sets weren't even close and the second set we came back from a 16-19 deficit to beat them. We hit over .300 and have 50 kills with only 13 hitting errors and 2 reception errors. Just a very fun much to be in.

After a long series of matches on the road, we are all excited to take on St. Scholastica and Northland on our home court this weekend! Both teams are solid competitors, and after a good week of practice we’re looking forward to playing two competitive matches. Our first match will be against St. Scholastica on Friday, and Northland on Saturday.
It’s been a challenging but rewarding week of practices, preparing for the upcoming matches and hopefully some more post-season volleyball in November. We’re taking it one match at a time though, and so for now we’re focused on our match against St. Scholastica. Hope some of you can make it out to support us! Go Cougs!

Words from Lindsay
Hi, my name is Lindsay Jacobson and I’m a junior on the Cougar volleyball team. This past week was a busy one as we went 2-1 in conference matches.
Last Tuesday we played Presentation on the road and earned a 3-1 win! On Thursday the junior varsity lost to NDSCS at home. Friday we traveled to Northwestern for their "Dig Pink" match. We lost a tough one in four sets, but kept our heads in the game and beat Crown College 3-1 Saturday morning.
We are now 5-4 for conference matches and looking forward to our two home matches this next weekend against St. Scholastica and Northland. Practices this week will be all about getting ready for those two matches. Since it is fall break we have today off, but we will start back tomorrow night with a great practice! Go Cougs!!

2-0 versus Crown!
Well, we are done with Crown and Northwestern during the regular season-- finished 0-2 versus Northwester, and 2-0 against Crown. Makes for an interesting road trip when we play the first place team in the conference and the last place team...
Now we have a couple of days off, before getting back in the gym Tuesday night to prepare for our biggest matches of the year (I guess you could say that they are all pretty big at this point...) St. Scholastica and Northland come to town this coming weekend. They are currently tied for second in the conference and then we follow, all alone in 4th.
Have a great week and we'll be posting again soon...

Ready for the Day...
Hello all-
Sitting at the hotel, getting ready to take on Crown in a couple of hours. What a fun match last night-- we played at Northwestern and lost a closely contested match. We played really well the 3rd and 4th set. We did a nice job in serve recieve and had quite a few aces as well. Not the end result we were hoping for, but another nice step forward!
Have a great day and we hope to see you at the match!

We are on the winning side again!
So we picked up a road win last night vs Presentation College. Like always, the saints played very well in their gym, but we finally broke the "win the first 2, lose the next 3" curse at that place!
No time to sit on our laurels though. We will be back in the gym in 1/2 hour working hard and trying to figure out how to break another curse.....beating Northwestern! We will be at their place on Friday and then at Crown on Saturday morning.
With it being Education Minnesota week, we will have a few recruits on campus on Thursday and Friday. The current players are all looking forward to the free food they get when asked to entertain the prospects! Coach B and I will also be hitting the road and watching a couple tournaments on Thursday. If we want to keep improving the program, we need to keep getting the quality student-athletes.
Well I should go get ready for practice.
Hope to see some of you in the stands on Friday and Saturday!

On the Bus... Again...
Hello all-
Here we are again- 12:29 am Wednesday morning (Tuesday night). Almost home after a victory over the Presentation College Saints- Not our best showing, but a win, we battled back and got better! Nice to win in Aberdeen- it's been rough on us the last couple of years. So we are 4-3 after the first go round of conference play- we have 3 home matches, 4 road matches to go, starting with first place Northwestern Friday.
We are almost back- just 7 more miles. We have practice tomorrow- NDSCS for a JV match Thursday, then down to the Cities Friday/Saturday.
Thanks for all your support and hope to see you this weekend!

On the Bus...
Well, it's 1:40 in the morning, Saturday (or Friday night yet for us) and we are on our way back. Driving through some snow/sleet/freezing rain, but I think we are through the worst of it. Not a great match tonight in Ashland, Wisconsin- we were swept in three sets and never could get rolling. We had a hard time hitting around their block and actually had more hitting errors then kills- not a good thing. But, we battled hard for the first two and a half sets. The good news is that we are still in a tie for fourth place with a chance for our fourth conference win on Tuesday night.
The JV played much better in a win over Gogebic Community College, our third state of the weekend, as they won by (approximate) scores of 26-15, 25-18, 25-7.
Gotta go- keeping the bus driver awake before we stop in Sauk Centre for a bathroom break and coffee.
Go Cougars!

Good Morning!!!
OK, so other then not winning a well played match last night, this has been a great trip so far! We played very well....ate very well (thanks Jacobsons!) and then a good nights sleep.
The hotel we stayed at was pretty cool, especially since the coaches had Executive Suites, poolside! The continental breakfast was very filling (waffles, boiled eggs, oatmeal, cereal, yogurt......)
We even got to sleep in AND go on a nature walk! We stopped at Amnicon Falls State Park on our way to MI for the JV Match. It was BEAUTIFUL, and we had plenty of scenic photo opps.
Well, time for a Subway stop and then on the road again.
Go Cougs!

Words from Kat Nelson
Hey there! My name is Kat Nelson and I am a freshman this year on the UMM Volleyball team.
This week has been full of tedious practices! Tuesday, we had individuals, and Monday and Wednesday were focused on hitting certain zones to keep our upcoming opponents off balance. We also focused on little details to clean up our play, and to think about what we want to do while we are playing.
We also focused on having AND keeping a lot of NRG! ;)
Right now, we are currently heading to Duluth for JV and Varsity to play St. Scholastica tonight! Then we will be staying at a hotel, and heading to Ironwood MI to play Gogebic tomorrow for a JV match, and then Northland for Varsity. Well, time to get back to homework.
GO COUGS!!! =)

Change of Venue for Northland Match
OK, so I went through all that work to look up the address to the HS at Ashland WI and then we get an email today saying that the remodeling project is done and we will in fact be playing in their gym on campus!! However, they won't have any bleachers in until Basketball season (go figure!), so you are welcome to bring your comfy lawn chair. They will not be offended if you don't want to sit in their folding chairs!
Hope to see you at the game!

OK, so Coach B beat me to the punch in writing about our great weekend!! I don't think we have started off 3-1 in the conf. since 2003! Keep it up ladies!!!
So, I will fill you in a bit for the upcoming matches. Since we have homecoming here this weekend and were scheduled to be in Duluth and Ashland WI, coach arranged for our matches to be played Thur and Fri instead of Fri-Sat. Nice!!! It is always fun to be home for the homecoming festivities!!
So, we will travel to Duluth on Thursday to take on the Saints. The JV is now 5-6 on the season and will be playing their match at 5:00. The Varsity, now 9-10, will play at 7:00 pm. We will get another home cooked meal afterward courtesy of the Jacobson's!! Gotta love the parents!
I believe we will get a little time to sleep in on Friday, unless coach B thinks we need to go on a nature walk or something. Then we will head to Ironwood MI, were the JV will play Gogebic Community College.
From there we will head to Ashland HS in Ashland WI and the Varsity will play Northland College. Apparently the college's gym is being remodeled so we will be playing our match at the HS. That address is 1900 Beaser Ave, Ashland WI 54806 if anyone needs to plug it into their GPS!! We would love to have fans there as we are tied with them for 2nd place in the conf. now. A win there will be huge!!!
Hopefully will be celebrating all the way home on the bus....until 4am when we pull into Morris.

Perfect Weekend!
Hello all-
Wow- what a weekend here in Morris!! Our second UMAC weekend of the season saw us hosting Bethany Lutheran (JV and Varsity) and then Martin Luther and Jamestown JV on Saturday...
We'll start with Friday- The JV got us off to an excellent start as they easily defeated the JV team of Bethany Lutheran in three straight sets. They played with a ton of energy and enthusiasm in their Pink Jerseys- They were wearing Pink Jerseys for our Dig Pink match- an effort to raise funds and awareness for anyone suffering from breast cancer. After the JV match, the varsity team took the floor and proceeded to defeat Bethany Lutheran in four sets, the first time we have beaten them in four years! The Pink Jerseys worked and we were off to a 2-1 start in the UMAC.
Saturday saw the Cougars welcoming the Knights of Martin Luther to Morris... We have not had much luck against MLC lately either, and, after scraping and clawing (and many hitting errors, much to my chagrin) we prevailed in four sets! So, we are currently sitting at 3-1 and are tied for second in the UMAC! The JV followed suit with a very nice revenge win over Jamestown College as tehy also defeated the Jimmies in four sets-- after that it was food time as we filled our bellies with the many delicious eats from the athletes and their parents.
All in all- pretty much a perfect weekend! We have a bunch of things to work on this week before heading up to St. Scholastica and Northland for the weekend...
See you all there!

That will be followed by a 3:00 match pitting the UMM JV against Jamestown College JV in a rematch of our season opener-
Should be an exciting weekend- Thanks for all yoru support and Go Cougars!
