This past Saturday we traveled to Brookhaven for 4 exhibition matches to see where we are as a team. All 13 players got to see the court and take what they have been working on in practice into game situations.
In the morning pool, we played Paris and Eastfield. Both matches went 3 and had close games in each. I know that we were sloppy throughout, (we won one game 25-23 and had 18 hitting/serving errors. ugh) but there were some positive signs.
In the afternoon we played Richland and Tyler. Once again, we played 3 sets in both matches and we were up and down. All in all, we finished the day 2-2 and wished we could have done better.
Starting next week, we'll have more in depth results from our matches. Since it was an exhibition last weekend, it's unfair to us and to other coaches to provide details as I'm assuming some coaches were trying some things. Don't get me wrong, it was intense. We were trying to win and losing 2 matches left a bitter taste in our mouths and we will take that into account when we play those teams in the future.
Now we can really focus on fine tuning the little things before Friday. I hope you will keep following us here and on our facebook page "Hill College Athletics".

- Madeleine Aaron was hired as our assistant coach. She has played for Coach Tiffin for a few years and knows the systems and technique that make Hill College players successful. Here's a link to her bio: Coach Aaron Bio
- The girls have been working hard these past few weeks, trying to get better and get into that starting line-up. Here's some action shots from this past week:

- We have our first scrimmage this Saturday at Brookhaven College. We'll play 4 teams throughout the day and it will give us a great chance to see different line-ups and it will give the girls a chance to play against unfamiliar opponents.
- We hope you can come out and see us play! Our schedule is under the Hill College link on the right hand side of the page. Also, dont forget to find us on Facebook!
