WF, interesting about no mention of Stauber at Idaho. Don’t know where she’s headed.

I am happy for Irvine because they owned the beach all season and one 22-20 loss in the fifth set of the semi’s shouldn’t have kept them out.

I just watched the NCAA selection show on Sunday morning, and Warriorfan, you were right. UC Irvine won the at-large bid. I guess the 3-1 record prevailed here so regular season did count. Also, perhaps that they were defending national champions.

MOSCOW – Idaho volleyball coach Debbie Buchanan has finalized her roster for next season with the addition of three players this spring.
Tineke Bierma, a 6-foot-3 outside hitter from College of Southern Idaho and Terra Varney, a 5-foot-8 defensive specialist from Vista Murrieta High School in Murrieta, Calif., will join the team this fall, and Stephanie Hagins, a 6-foot-4 middle blocker, joined the team earlier this spring after transferring from the University of Hawaii.
Bierma, Varney and Hagins join Samantha Rouleau and Torrin Crawford, who signed during the early signing period in November, as Idaho’s newcomers for 2013.

This is from the CDA press no mention at all about Monica Stauber. I wonder where she is going after all??

I think with both teams tied in the standings, they may consider head-to-head. but I think it’s The Beach.

But then that would mean that the entire season doesn’t matter and only the playoffs do. I wouldn’t be surprised t if the beach got it though.

Agree a 3-1 record can’t be ignored but The Beach won when it counted. Both teams tied for second in the MPSF. Think it goes to the 49ers.

Either way, BYU will be seeded 1, MPSF at-large No. 2, Penn State No. 3 and Loyola No. 4
Likely an all-MPSF championship final.

Penn State as usual, ugh
UCI gets my vote for the at large berth, hard to ignore a 3-1 record against the beach for the whole season.
