Oh, I see -- we're playing UIC.
(sorry for the play on Initials.)
#1 Louisville takes on the Flames at 7 p.m. tonight in a sold ut LNFCU. They get the winner of Michigan vs Ball State if the douse the Flames.
The Flames did a lot of their losing earlier in the season.. They're 20-11 on the year, winning 12 of their last 13 matches. They do have one of the highest-powered offenses in the country, ranking fifth nationally in total assists (1,548) and sixth in total kills (1,663) and rank 18th nationally with 202 aces on the year. The Flames' 12.69 assists per set this year rank second in the League and 34th nationally. UIC has tallied 4,401 total attacks this season, second in the Horizon League and 15th nationally.
Paola Santiago gathered Horizon League Tournament MVP and All-Tournament Team along with teammates Martina Delucchi and Sohila Wafeek. UIC's offense features six players with 120-plus kills, highlighted by two with more than 400. Santiago leads all hitters with 459 kills on the season and is hitting .212 with 56 blocks, 310 digs and 34 aces. Delucchi is second on the team with 410 kills, hitting .209 with 49 blocks, 357 digs and a team-high 41 aces. Wafeek has tallied 1,033 assists on the year with 246 sigs, 20 blocks and 32 aces.
Cards will sweep the Flames out the arena despite all their honors.
On ESPNPLUS (boo) at 7 p. m . You'd think the # 1 team in the country wouls garner a little more respect than that.
