Rochester, Minnesota Invitational, September 9-10, 2022

Rochester, Minnesota:  Rochester, Minnesota has many happy memories for Harper College Women's Volleyball.  Harper Volleyball has been to the NJCAA tournament played there seven times.  Harper Volleyball has won the national tournament once (National Champions in 2016), lost in the final match once (National Runner-up in 2017), finished in the final four teams 3 times, one fifth place finish, and a sixth place finish (last appearance in 2019).

• Harper College's lifetime record for matches played in Rochester was 26 wins and 29 losses overall, and 10 wins and 13 losses during those seven National Tournaments.
• Harper College has attended this Rochester Invitational 8 times (since 2013) and had a record of 16 wins and 16 losses.  After this weekend's 0-4 finish, Harper is now 16-20.
• With 2 losses against #3 Rochester this year, Harper Volleyball is 6-5 lifetime against them.  And with Harper's 2 losses this year against #11 Minnesota State – Fergus Falls, Harper Volleyball is 4-3 lifetime against them.
• For this year's team, Harper Volleyball has mustered only 4 wins against 13 losses so far this year.  Harper Volleyball, which was ranked #10, will undoubtedly fall out of the weekly top 10 rankings for the first time in several years.

"We continue to be inconsistent.  If it's not one thing, it's another. We have either a lot to fix in many different areas, or we really don't have to fix much… in every area.  We aren't winning, but we aren't losing by much," says coach Bob Vilsoet.

Next up fpr Harper Volleyball is Milwaukee Area Technical College on Tuesday, September 13, 2022. Game is at Alverno College, at 7:00 p.m. (not 6:00 p.m. for those of you on autopilot).
