I know it's been a couple of days since the FB of Mishawaka game. I have been formulating a blog entry about the ICSTS (yes, I know I'm a broken record), but I've put that aside to give you a quick update before the big QR tournament this weekend.
The JH and JV started the evening with two easy wins over their FB of M counterparts preceding the varsity game. This was the first game after the loss of a key member of the team, so we weren't sure how things would go. The replacements were Holly in the front row and Tina in the back. The team played a little out of sorts the whole evening as the girls tried to get used to playing with new teammates, and the new players tried to get used to their new assignments. The first game was tied at 6, and the Patriots only led 13-10 at one point. Then Rachel began to serve ace after ace. Sprinkled in were a couple of nice hits and blocks, and the score was 21-10. The usual focus loss occurred, and FB outscored the Patriots 6-2 to pull FB within seven. The Patriots finally got the last two and won 25-16.
The second game was similar. Behind a lot of kills, the girls pulled out to a 19-9 lead. Again, the girls played indiffently with a big lead. There were hitting errors and serving errors and some poor defense, allowing FB to get within seven at 24-17. Finally a back row kill by Ally ended it.
The third was like the first two. The girls led 21-12 in this one before the usual flat spot occurred. FB scored three in a row; Calvary/Calumet got one. FB got another one before Cal/Cal got two to get within one of winning it, 24-16. This time FB scored three in a row before the girls got the final one to win it 25-19.
Quentin Road begins tomorrow at 10AM. I will see you there.
