 Welcome back to the All Dispersons show presented by Buffalo Wildlings. I'm Sam Murray joined now with Stevenson Men's volleyball head coach, All Dispersons. And coach, your team has won 15 straight games. You know, you're getting towards the end of the regular season, only two games left. How would you assess your team's play towards the end of the year? Yeah, the Messiah game was a really big one last week. You know, they've been playing really well. Over the weekend we played, you know, to a Widener who's at the bottom of our conference and another team from New York that it was nice to, you know, they fought hard and I got a chance to play guys that haven't been playing a lot. So I think that's good for our overall team and the gym. Like right now our best competition is in the gym a lot of times. So that was good that I got those guys in there. In particular, Garrett got all conference, a player of the week. So that was nice to see a sophomore get that. Yeah, and you know, a guy we probably don't talk enough about is your graduate student, Christian Taylor. He became only the sixth player in Division III history to record 4,000 career assists. He didn't get them all at Stevenson, but he's had one heck of a year here with you for one year. Talk about his play. Yeah, it's, again, he just dropped from the heavens. I don't know, crude him. He's talking, you know, with some of the players like they, you know, talk and played in different tournaments over the summer and the fall. Yeah, having in that particular position, the center position, you want exactly what Christian delivers. He's got maturity. He's got consistency. He works really hard in the weight room and in practice. He's a natural leader. He sets as a consistency. That's in volleyball. If you have somebody that sets the ball consistently, the hitters can just concentrate on attacking instead of like, I think the lower is the second to be, they can just focus on the block. And we have, you know, an older team also have, you know, senior guys that really appreciate that, you know, really nice, nice balls to hit. Yeah, you mentioned before that kind of down the stretch, especially last weekend, you were able to play some guys who don't see as much playing time. How is that going to benefit you in the long run as you, you know, enter the MAC tournament and hopefully then say, NCAA tournament? Yeah, well, tomorrow, Alvernia is a really tough match. I mean, they beat Messiah, he was a good team. So, you know, just, you never know on a given night, it's kind of like we were talking about, it's a play practice. You never know, you know, who could can upset you. So, I'm focused on beating, you know, Alvernia tomorrow. And if, let's say Christian, for whatever reason, you can have an off game. If Alex, you know, backup can come in that position. And I mentioned Garrett, you know, the off of position and Tanner and bossy, you know, guys that haven't played a lot all year, not because they're not good enough, it's just that my, this kind of starting units, so to speak, has been playing so well, winning so much that it's, you know, those guys are going to really help coming off the bench because we're going to run into, you do, you're going to run into good competition and you need to give the starters a blow in particular if it's not going their way that night. Well, Coach, wish you the best of luck in your remaining two regular season games and into the conference tournament. Thanks.
