 Hello and welcome to the All This Berzins show. I'm Joe Wombo, joined now with All This Berzins, head coach of the men's volleyball team. And coach, you get a little bit on a streak this weekend. You get to play at home, play four really solid teams, and get a really strong performance into some deep set matches. Yeah, that was my first time with home matches with these guys. And they really performed well. The Friday night we had two, St. Joe's and Wilson. And St. Joe's is ranked nationally. And the next day, they went on to beat Marymount. And so that was a really nice first win at home. And then Wilson later that night. And then the next day, we had Marion and Elmira, which, like you said, they went deep. Five sets against Elmira. And that's the one you really want to win the last match of the weekend. It can kind of be a real damper if you lose that one. And when five sets, we were behind in the fifth. But pulled it out. Yeah, and they played well together. The team is really meshing for you guys to be able to get these victories. And a lot of production from every player that suits up. Yeah, thanks for noticing that. I endeavor to get everybody in there. And I think in particular, this weekend, Jared Chin, a setter came in and spelled KJ, our senior setter, and did a great job. Connected with the middle, with the outside. And he touched up a block, had a dig. So that's nice is when they get a chance that they perform. So did Billy Russo came in and hit on the outside. He's sophomore here. And Nate Bossy came in the freshman middle and let Alex take a break, too. So those three guys really contributed. As did, I think everybody got a chance to help out. That contribution is so key from the finishers, as you call them, especially when you're playing four games in a weekend. This weekend you got coming up, you're going to play three games in a day. Those guys are going to get some playing time, I imagine. I think that's a record. I was asking Brent, my assistant coach, if he's ever heard of three matches in a day, imagine a basketball team playing at 11, and then at 2, and then at 4. It is the preseason. Everybody's trying to get games, and I understand why we do it. I'm definitely going to have to. Everybody's going to have to contribute and step in and help us get through that marathon on Saturday. And you mentioned this preseason before the conference portion of the season really gets kicking off. Getting these guys this experience and playing while you're tired is a thing that you've got to go through. What are these games doing in getting you prepared for the conference? Well, that's what they're testing us physically and mentally. If you can get through three matches in one day and keep your focus, my hat's off to them, because pro players, it's always one match. And then you get a day off, and then you play again. But they're in shape. I mean, M.C.'s done a great job. She's our strength and conditioning coach with them, and Connor, our head trainer, has really been piecing them together, keeping them in a warm and healthy and injury, a severe injury for you. Everybody's a little nicked up, but just kind of tough it up and go through that. Yeah, you're definitely going to get those bumps and bruises when you play the rigorous schedule like this and play teams like you've been playing. Yeah, and like we mentioned, we have three matches, and they're not like pushovers either. There's Lacell, they're undefeated. They're 6-0. They're ranked nationally too. They've beaten Rutgers, and I think who else did they beat? Endicott and Elmira also, who gave us a really tough time. They beat them in three, I believe. And then there's Ramapo, the hosts. Also have a winning record, 4-1, and Baruch, a team from New York. So it'll be just knock-em-sock-em weekend. Well, it'll be a fun weekend of volleyball, and we wish you the best of luck and safe travels up to Ramapo. He's All Dispersons. I'm Joe Wamba, and this has been the All Dispersons Show.
