2010 Update

Cincinnati's Volleyball team completed a sweep of their annual Bearcat Invitational this weekend. The team beat Kent State, James Madison and Murray State in straight sets, and quite easily too. Stephanie Niemer, Annie Fesl and Missy Harpenau were named to the all tournament team as well, with Harpenau taking home tournament MVP honors.

After the weekend tournament, Missy Harpenau was also named Big East Volleyball Player of the Week. It was the first time she won the honor, but with her being only a junior, she'll probably stand to win a few more before the end of her career.

And yesterday, UC took on #16 Kentucky at 5/3 Arena and won it in five-sets taking the fifth 15-13.

These wins set the Bearcats to 7-1 on the year, poising them to possibly secure a top 25 ranking. The Bearcats have also won 32 straight home games which is the second-longest streak in the nation behind Penn State, but they've won the National Championship the past two years and hardly ever lose a set let alone a game.

It's about time that the volleyball team got some love on this board. I'm a UC student and I go to all of the games and they're a really great team. They're picked to win the Big East this year and should do better than last year's opening round loss in the NCAA tourny.
