Volleyball 2019

[dslyank]

Team did well in first tournament. Lost first match 1-3, won second 3-1 and lost third 2-3 after taking first two sets from host Omaha. Seemed to just run out of gas, should have really beaten Omaha. Nebraska is noted for good volleyball; so pretty good showing by UA overall.

Curious about a couple of things:  last years AmEast rookie of the year Andersen Vaughan played only sparingly. Freshman setter Malea Stanton played well, did Stanton beat out Vaughan or is Vaughn hurt? Also Tatiana Tiangco and Courtney O'Connell (jr & sr) did not play at all. Tangco was one of UA's best players freshman year, but hardly played last year (had an injury I believe) and O'Connell got a lot of minutes last year. Anyone in the know, I'd appreciate an update on Vaughan, Tiangco & O'Connell. Thank you.

Hopefully take care of them a little quicker than last time. Last time the lame security was locking the gates to the campus minutes after LCC lost

Based on recent matches; I am hoping for more of the same.  Winning in three.

Another sweet evening for volleyball; 3-0 match win over UMBC tonight!!

Got way behind in the first game, but got it together late and pulled it out.  Each game was better.  Beat UMBC 3-2 earlier, so 3-0 this time was really nice.

If they defeat Hartford quick enough will be able to make the 7pm tip of the women's basketball game

That's why they moved the game.  I was hoping for 5, but volleyball goes faster with a shorter time out after 2 games.
