So here we are, having started 2nd round of conference. This past weekend we drove up to Vernon and played a tri-match. Very important for us as we were in a 3 way tie for 3rd place with Vernon and Cisco. We came out playing great and beat Vernon in 4. Had a little hiccup in game 2 but other than that I was very happy. Brittany Berry led us with 12 kills and only 1 error on 24 swings.
We then played #9 ranked Frank Phillips. It was the first time I've ever played them and they are a solid team. They won game 1 in spite of one the weirdest plays I've ever seen: one of our outside hitters Sapphire went up to hit a 2 and got roofed, but the ball went straight back into her eye, then went back over the net and we got a kill. Here' the clip: Sapphire's kill
We turned around and won game 2. The girls played real well and I've decided to put it on line. here's the link for the entire game 2, which we won 25-20: Game 2 vs. Frank Phillips
They turned around and beat us in game 3, but game 4 was a very well played game. We went back and forth, but eventually FPC beat us 30-28. We had 2 game points but they sided out each time. I'm going to put this online as well very soon. To tell you the quality of offense for both teams, we hit .325% with 17 kills and only 4 errors. FPC played really well and I know we can take this solid play back into conference.
Other points:
- We have 2 very huge home matches this week against Temple and Cisco. Temple is Tuesday the 19th and it's Red Out night: wear red and support your Lady Rebels! We've got a lot of t-shirts to give away and a serving contest at halftime. We beat Temple at home last year and I'm hoping we can do it again.
- All of our stats and box scores are online at Stats You can get individual game box scores as well as team totals and player breakdowns. I'm hoping the rest of our conference catches up with this so you can compare us to other teams.
