Stud Muffin: Callie Rivers – UF Volleyball

Here goes a new post that we’ll be doing every once in awhile highlighting a female athlete that was kicking ass recently. And our first Stud Muffin Award goes to Florida volleyball senior outside hitter Callie Rivers, who is a big reason why the Gators were able to go from ranked 13th to the six spot this week. She has 10 kills and nine digs versus the win over #2 Nebraska and 12 kills, three aces and seven digs against #9 Iowa last weekend.

Plus she is Doc Rivers’ daughter and was dating Brandon Spikes before the whole chatroulette sex tape thing hit the Internet. And no that was not her in the tape, but that is her with the mean cheek game in the picture above (she’s number five).

Week One Volleyball Rankings

Like we said, we’ll be doing at least one women’s sports post a day this school year…and up for you today we have the first women’s volleyball rankings of the year. Now I don’t know how long Penn State has been atop the rankings, but they are #1 again this week and have to be closing in on some kind of DI record or something with 105 straight wins.

We do have a new number two in the nation, with Texas taking Nebraska’s spot after they lost at home to a Florida team that beat two top 10 teams this weekend. And rightful so Florida made the biggest jump in this weeks poll moving up seven spots to sixth in the nation. The biggest drop in the polls…Michigan, who fell seven spots from 12th to 19th after they losing to unranked Toledo. The complete Top 25 here.

Week 1 Volleyball Recap: Nebraska Falls

Penn State moved to 3-0 and took home the Carolina Classic Championship by defeating Campbell, Villanova, and North Carolina all in straight sets to take their winning streak to 105 matches. And in case you were wondering…that is the second longest win streak in DI team sports history behind the 137 straight victories by the Miami men’s tennis program from 1957-1964. The Nittany Lions haven’t lost since September 2007!

The biggest upset of the weekend, was #2 ranked Nebraska (1-1) losing to #13 Florida (2-0) in five sets at home yesterday (Florida also beat #9 Iowa State in the tournament). But that wasn’t the only upset of the weekend, #12 Michigan also fell to unranked Toledo in the final of the Rocket Classic in hard fought five game match. Other teams in the top 25 that lost to unrankeds: Arizona and Saint Mary’s. New rankings should come out tomorrow.
