Play-off update

We just got back to the hotel after our semi-fnial match against Ranger.  Let me tell you this: this was no easy match...

We started off very slow.  We did not do the little things correctly and as a result we lost the first 2 games by identical scores of 25-18.  We did have a few moments, but Ranger outplayed us.

Our lack of focus continued into game 3 and we started off down 5-1.  After a time-out it was like the light bulb finally went off.  We started digging more balls but more importantly we converted quickly and effectively.  Instead of making weak plays, we made confident play.  As a result we won game three 25-21 and game four 25-22.

Game 5 was good for us at the beginning and we were up 8-4 at the side change.  Then Ranger came roaring back and took advantage of some less than stellar plays and tied it up at 10.  After that, it was back and forth.  14-14.  15-15.  16-16.  We had multiple swings for match point but couldn't convert.  i won't lie to you I was getting very nervous.  This was a intense game!  Finally, we got up 17-16 and Taelor Higgins converted a quick middle set to the floor for a huge comeback win!!! And then we celebrated by going to Which Wich, the "Superior" Sandwich place.

So we play Temple tonight at 7 pm for the fourth time this season.  They looked very good earlier today in beating NCTC in four games so we will have to play at a high level to beat them.  I'll keep you updated, just check here or on our Facebook page.  Go Lady Rebels!!
