UB Volleyball has a pair of strong showings early this season that fall agonizingly short of a win, and four other matches where their extreme youth has shown through.
In Georgia this weekend the Bulls will face a pair of power-conference teams, as they did in their opening tournament in Charlottesville, Virginia. The tournament, hosted by Georgia Southern (4-4) also features Wake Forest (1-3) and South Carolina (6-0).
It’s only been two weekends, but the storylines are easy to parse out for the Bulls: Scout McLerran and Hannah Watson have had a few strong showings and were better in the losses in Pennsylvania than the losses in Virginia, while UB’s chances seem to come and go with the offensive effectiveness of Valisha Watkins, who has 40 combined kills in the matches that went five sets and 17 in UB’s other 12.
