Congrats on another road win...SFA is good but everyone is beatable....

Nice win for the Sugar Bears on the road. Now it sets an all important match with Stephen F. Austin Saturday afternoon. SFA beat Northwestern State last night in three sets to remain their half-game lead over UCA. I wish this game was at home, but we win, we have an incredible chance to win the division with one week to go. GO SUGARBEARS!!!

The Sugar Bears victory over SFA is the biggest win ever in program's history and one of the biggest wins in all of UCA Sports history. I am so proud of the team. We do have two more conference games on the road, but I feel confident that they will win both and win the division.
VICTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a terrific win for the ladies.....they have played really well recently and all Bear fans should be very proud of the spirit and play.....good luck in the last two games....

that's great stuff. Closing it out with a win over Lamar would be nice, but that ain't a gimme by any stretch of the imagination.

Oh – and how much does the loss to Arlington sting right now? Tonight would've been the clincher. Have to settle for a share ... for now. Darn the luck.

Great job!!!!!
