MIVA

Our first two days in the MIVA league took their toll both coaching and playing. I am learing to manage a team with greater depth, talent, and experience as well as dealing with injury and illness. We finished the first rounds of MIVA 4-3 beating the teams we should beat and continuing to learn from teams who are just as talented as we are this season. We have a great team and it will be important to peak at the right time (nationals), but we do have a lot of work to do prior to the Hoosier-Illini Classic. We played some of the best defense I have seen from a B-W team since I played and honestly, this team is better defensively. We will work on some individual techniques in practice this week, setting, arm position (hitting), and defensive position to prepare us for the tough matches to come. The positive, we play more Division I teams than Division II and III which prepares us everyday for the NIRSA National Tournament in Kansas City, MO.
