Ready to start the MAC season at Ohio University

By Steve Bailey
Assistant Coach

I think we are in a very good place right now as a team.

Our new additions, the incoming freshmen, are playing an impactful role.

This is going to be an interesting year in the Mid-American Conference. Every team is playing well as we get ready to start conference play. Thursday will be a very good test to see where we are in the MAC.

Ohio University is a great team. They are 7-4 after playing a very tough non-conference schedule. It is similar to us in that we have played a very competitive preseason where we have done some very good things, getting better defensively, getting better at blocking, and now we are trying to get our offense to catch up. We think this could be a very good season for us, and we are looking forward to seeing what this weekend has to hold.

Ohio is a very simple team in that they are very good at the basics and don’t do a lot of crazy things. They pass very well. They have excellent attackers and they play very well defensively. We are going to have to play a near-perfect game to come out on top. For us, that means taking care of ourselves, focusing on our side of the net and not worrying so much about what they are doing so that it is a clean match on both sides.
