First day of play

At 11am this morning we played Community College of Rhode Island. Do you want to know how we did? Well, we beat them in 3 games. Scores were 25-12, 25-11, 25-14. The team played well, we actually let them come back in two of the games. We had the best serving game ever! 15 aces! It was definately a good warmup game. Afterwards we came back to the resort and ate lunch in the coaches condo. Majority of the girls just took it easy and napped. The coaches went back to the gym to enjoy volleyball.
The team made their way back to the gym at 3:30 to prepare for the next opponent. During warmup we had to take a time out to participate in the opening ceremonies. A big thank you to the Cowley track team for lending us the flags, we looked like we were in the olympics!! Others were jealous.
Our next opponent was IllinoisCentral. Unforutanely luck wasn't on our side. We lost the match in 5 games. Scores were 19-25, 25-20, 24-26, 25-23, 15-8. They were a great team and we didn't manage to string together all the good stuff at once. Not to worry we still can finish as high as 5th place. Tomorrow is a new day and we play Scottdale at 2:30pm! Wish us luck. Go Tigers!!! Thanks for being fans.
