SIUE Eyes Postseason

Box Score

November 3, 2003

         With three games remaining in the regular season, SIUE volleyball coach Todd Gober believes the time is now to begin planning for the postseason.
         SIUE, 22-5 overall and 10-2 in the Great Lakes Valley Conference, plays its final home game of the regular season on Tuesday against Central Missouri State, which enters the match ranked 20th nationally according to the American Volleyball Coaches Association.
         The Cougars then travel to Lewis on Friday for a 7 p.m. match and Wisconsin-Parkside on Saturday for a 1 p.m. match. The Lewis and Wisconsin-Parkside games conclude the regular season and the Cougars' GLVC schedule.
         "Our playoff attitude has got to get going right now," said Gober.
         The Cougars held a slight lead to become the No. 1 seed and the host for the GLVC Championships on Nov. 14-16. However, a three-game loss at Southern Indiana this past Friday may have shifted the seeds and the hosting duties.
         SIUE must now sweep Lewis and Wisconsin-Parkside and have Northern Kentucky take a loss to Southern Indiana or Kentucky Wesleyan.
         "We didn't overlook Southern Indiana. They were incredibly fired up," Gober said.
         Southern Indiana may have returned the favor as it was SIUE who dashed Southern Indiana's hopes of being the No. 1 seed last season.
         Gober said his team has to remained focused with the top offense in the GLVC. SIUE is hitting .287 as a team. Middle hitters Andrea Voss (St. Rose) and Heather Bonde (Millstadt) are Nos. 1 and 6, respectively, in hitting percentage.
