2008 Volleyball Blog - Week 1

by Chelsea Tracy - September 16, 2008

With a fresh start to this season, the volleyball team is more than ready to be competitive in the NEWMAC. So far, we have started off strong and continue to show improvement throughout practices and scrimmages. With the start of our Conference games tonight, we are anxious to put into motion what we have been practicing.

We have been lucky enough to have played five matches prior to the start of our Conference games. Some of our volleyball alumnae came out during our preseason and gave us a great competitive match. AIC also gave us a great game in the middle of our preseason.  These games helped our team to be able to play as a unit and continue to play well in our next three matches. In previous years, the volleyball team has barely been able to get to five sets, let alone win.  This year, we have gone to five sets in three of our matches, winning two of them. We lost the third by two points.

These past couple of weeks we have been saturated in volleyball. We have barely had anytime to bond as a team outside of the gym. That’s why this Friday the volleyball team plans to go to the Big E! We are all very excited, and most of us have never been. So, be prepared to hear stories about our team outing in next week’s blog!
