Looking to be a day of adversity, playing with seven players today (one sick and one hurt). Also our first tourney with having the twins do the setting, they did a very good job. In pool play, we had moments of glory. But not enough of them to secure us a win. This left us the four seed out of our pool. Our day went from being on on schedule to being out of whack. The other pool in our division was still two matches behind so we ended up reffing three matches in a row. After the three hours of not playing, we played our crossover match. It was a rematch of the championship match from last power league. It was a good match, we just came up a lil short. We then reffed and played again, getting out of the gym at about 6:45. After being on schedule during pool play, we were the last team out of the gym.
Like I said earlier, it was a day of adversity and an opportunity to grow as a team. We took steps in that direction and continue to improve. All the players did well, the middles gave a solid performance (Natalie premiered her jump serve at this tourney). The outsides gave us all they had, playing through injury and illness. The top players would have to be Cory, Molly and Hannah. Cory did an amazing job of passing yesterday, her defense saved us on many plays and kept us in matches at times. Great Job!! Molly and Hannah have had the toughest transition, being asked to set. They have done a great job of stepping into the role. They have done something special on this team and have taken over a position that they were not expecting to. Thank you girls. Looking forward to what we can accomplish. Next tourney, next weekend, another opportunity to improve.
