 Welcome back to the Aldis Bersen show presented by Buffalo Wild Wings. I'm Sam Murray joined now as Steve Simmons volleyball head coach Aldis Bersen's and coach Wrapped up a perfect conference slate last week with a pair of wins a Straight set win over Widener and then a four-set win on senior night over Arcadia. Just talk about the end of the season there Yeah, that's a great way to end it It's starting with Widener We hadn't played there yet And Chester PA and they're they're a really new team and Donovan's doing a good job with them And it was nice that I had a chance to play everybody in that match And the guys what I told them was to try to play a perfect volleyball game Which is impossible to do but you know to not make any unforced errors and they really focused and played well and then senior night turned a senior day on Sunday and I was really happy for our captain Alex clonk and Andy van Tyn played great at his libero spot. So actually that's that's good, you know to have You know Andy they're ready to back up there. He's been playing really well all year Yeah talking about players who've been playing well all year all conference stuff came out landing shorts was named the player of the year Nate Reynolds was named the co-rookie of the year both of them earned first team honors along with junior Jason Gardner and sophomore Derek Tangora Derek Tangora actually Jason Gardner was named second team Also in first team was freshman rookie Logan smiley to talk about what they've contributed really the whole team's contributed to this to this year Yeah, yeah, I think it's great to get accolades. I compliment them all the time although they might not say that but you know from other SIDs and head coaches that voted in that You know the landing, you know, he's that was expected I say and Derek to last year he played and was awarded but those freshmen what Reynolds and Smiley were recognized that was super and and Jason does a great job for us He's just solid So it's everybody But clunk and the setters so but they have a chance to I imagine I'll be an all-tournament team So if we do well in a semi and the final that they might get recognized there, too Yeah, talking about that you host Alvernia in the max semi-finals on Wednesday night Talk about that matchup. You've seen them twice. Yeah, it's number three for you seen everybody It's gonna be number three Yeah, it's some sometimes it's difficult to beat the same team over and over and over again and like in any sport They can pop up and kind of bite you in the butt, but I'm I'm really confident in our team That they won't like look past Alvernia in any way and you know, they're a nice team and and and You know, so we you know, it's just gonna have to do the same thing we always do we're gonna get a nice scouting report We're gonna have a pretty tough practice tonight and I get ready for them tomorrow Yeah, we won't look past Alvernia either So if you do win you'll be at home on Saturday in the Mac title game, right? So with that, I'll say good luck on Wednesday. Hopefully we'll say good luck on Saturday as well I'll see you back here next week. Thanks for coach all dispersions. I'm Sam Murray and this has been the all I have one thing to say We need support from the student body. It's because I hate playing in a quiet gym It's like a church and everybody can hear me cussing. So make sure I want to have a full house and Tell the band to come and the cheerleaders to come and what my understanding is that students get in for free with the SUID so that's tomorrow night 7 p.m. Wednesday be there He's coach all his first and sound Sam Murray and this has been the all his person show
