3rd Place...we are finding the rhythm.

We came out with energy and as a team with their eyes on a championship and while we fell just short of a championship, we continue to improve each day. We shuffled the line-up moving Jake to OH and starting Danny and Jeh in the middle. We were a little short handed as a few people had academic commitments and an illness, but we persevered and played hard which allowed everybody to get some valuable playing time. During pool play gave up more than 18 points only once and held our opponents to an average of 15 points in each game. In the first match of the Gold bracket the Yellow Jackets beat Eastern Michigan University 25-11, 25-21 which set the stage with another showdown with Ohio Northern University. A learning experience this match was as we never got a rhythm or found the necessary intensity level and lost 14-25, 17-25. We will face ONU a few more times this year and hope to get over the hump, but it is difficult to be disappointed when you finish the tournament 4-1 and in 3rd place. Next week at BGSU for MIVA Conference play.
