 with Aldous Bersin's show, I'm Joe Wamba, joined now with Aldous Bersin's head coach and the men's volleyball team. Coach, you guys get to play another game at home. Unfortunately, not the result you're looking for against Stevens, but some still positive outcomes, some positivity to come out of that game. Yeah, yeah, Stevens was top four in the nation, and it was a good measuring stick for us. I'd say we lost 0-3, but there were some nice individual performances, in particular by our captain. Nate Ellis in the middle was pretty much unstoppable, and then Derek, our freshman libero, played up to that level. He dug a lot of balls and passed really great, but it's kind of the in-between. We didn't play as consistent as I would have liked. We played well in spurts, but not good enough to really compete against that team. And the positive thing coming out of this is, now you guys have a lot of rest before your next match on the 24th of this month. You're going to need it. You're a little banged up, as it is. Yeah, that was the first time Nate Ellis, who I mentioned, could play all-around. He had a bit of a spring thumb, and Mike was coming off the flu, our outside hitter. He was pretty much just ramping up to game speed, and yeah, it's been, I think rest is good too. It should be part of the program, so we're going to take off for spring break. They've been going at it really hard since January, with no days off, really. And so we have an alumni game this Thursday, which should be fun for the guys to just relax and beat up on those older guys. And then, yeah, take off for spring break and come back with a week of practice before we start the second half of the conference play. When you guys do come back, it's going to be somewhat of a gauntlet. You guys are going to be into conference schedule, but getting to play a lot of them at home. Yeah, yeah, especially the higher rank teams at home in the second half. Although, I don't know if the home court I heard was an advantage, it didn't seem to be against Stevens, and we actually played our best match away at Juniata of the year, which was a couple weeks ago. So I don't think, you know, the guys are thinking anymore that the home court is some kind of a magic place to be. And although it does help, you know, when the fans are screaming for you, but we need more fans. I think our guys play better when, you know, in a loud gym. And so hopefully, yeah, when we have our home matches against Marymount and EMU and Juniata, the top teams in our conference will fill up the Owings Mills gym. And as it sits, you guys are pretty much at the middle of your schedule. How do you feel about the first half of the season went for you? Well, this is my first time around. So I'm really satisfied. We're four and two. And our goal is to win our conference. And that's definitely doable. We went five games against Marymount and EMU. Fifth games didn't go our way, but we did beat Juniata. And those guys have been, all those teams have been playing well. I don't want to overlook Karn, Rutgers and Alvernia either. They've been all, you know, taking sets off of teams. And if you can do that, you never know. On a given night, you can upset anybody. That is definitely true, especially in a sport like men's volleyball. That's right. That's a no. Okay. Well coach, thank you for your time this week and enjoy this break. And we'll be back at it on the 24th. Thanks a lot. He's all disbursons. I'm Joe Wamba. And this has been the all disbursons show.
