So last night we had our annual "Red Out" match, this time against Temple. Our main goal was to continue our improvement from this past weekend and see if we can gain some revenge as Temple beat us in 3 down at their place.
We had an amazing crowd. They were loud and gave us a great home court advantage. We definitely used that as we took game 1 by a score of 25-20.
Game 2 we started off very slowly and were down by as many as 8 points. Instead of giving up, this team showed great spirit and came back to tie it up at 22. Unfortunately we made 3 mistakes and Temple won 25-22.
Game 3 was more of the same: we dug ourselves into a hole and we tried to come back but it wasn't enough and we lost 25-19. However, in game 4 we did the opposite and jumped out to a huge lead and never looked back and won 25-19.
So for the third consecutive year, we go to 5 with Temple at home. Unfortunately, this time we couldn't pull it out and lost 15-13. We sided out to get to 13-14, and had a great chance to tie it up, but we didn't execute and they took advantage of it.
So now what? We are 3-4 in conference play. We have a massively huge match tomorrow night at home against Cisco. Let me tell you the scenarios:
If we win: Most likely we get the 3rd seed in play-offs.
If we lose: We will most likely be in a 3 way tie for 3rd with only two of those teams making the play-offs. Because of our head to head record, we will probably have to compete in a play in match the week of play-offs just to get there. So basically, we need to win tomorrow.
Come and support us if you can. 6 pm at home!
