Volleyball Looks to Bounce Back

Box Score

September 29, 2003

         After a discouraging Great Lakes Valley Conference loss to Quincy University, SIUE's volleyball team will look forward to matches against Northern Kentucky and Bellarmine.
         SIUE (15-3 overall, 3-1 GLVC) dropped its first Great Lakes Valley Conference match in four games at Quincy. SIUE rebounded with a non-conference win at Illinois-Springfield, an NAIA school.
         "We are not executing as efficiently as we were earlier in the season," Coach Todd Gober said. "It's good to find it out now so we can start working on a few things.
         "We have not played well our last three outings, but have still won two of three, so that is encouraging."
         Northern Kentucky sits atop the GLVC's Blue Division with a 12-6 overall record and a 5-0 conference mark. The Norse has won 12 of its last 14 matches. Bellarmine (0-13, 0-5) is still in search of its first victory of the season.
         "We need to work on our serve receive and passing this week," Gober said. "We also need to improve our transition and up the tempo of our transition."
         As a team, SIUE still leads the conference with a .285 hitting percentage. The Cougars also lead the league with 2.78 blocks per game.
