I understand the seeds aren't picked by the media, but I was surprised to see LLM get seeded when they didn't even receive votes in the last poll.

I don't watch a ton of VB, but Belquist has to be one of the best hitters I've ever seen. It feels dangerous for the other team when she hits.

I think a lot of people outside of R3 would agree with you on the shock

ORCS needs to be on upset watch with NR-S not getting seeded.
Seemed odd that they handle LEM in the Region title for the 2nd year in a row and they got shafted; nothing against LLM though...we all know R3 has always been a very tough region to advance out of

MPCG is the only team to the 'easy' QF draw with Trenton.
DT should beat Shiloh but they played close sets at the end of October at DT.
NC/LLM & ORCS/NR-S should be great matches.

My Thoughts
7th Place: Shiloh vs. Trenton
5th Place: ORCS vs. L-LM
3rd Place: DT vs. NR-S
Title: MPCG vs. NC

Honestly surprised New Rockford didn't get a seed too. LaMoure LM was missing their big middle and best hitter for the first half of the season and they've really come on since getting her back into the rotation. They have some big hitters so I can see them giving NC fits, they lost close sets to them in the championship game of the Northern Cass tournament early in the season and this was without their best player. Should be some good first round matchups. I agree that MPCG has the easiest draw and I see Trenton taking last place. I'm predicting a MPCG vs. DT Championship.

They got a better draw not being seeded.

Great sportsmanship from LLM fans.

What NC has done through two rounds is quite impressive. They crushed DT in the semifinals tonight.

Impressed with Jensen coming back after that ankle roll that looked painful; made my ankle hurt watching the replay
