VANDERBILT SCRIMMAGE ATLANTA USAV FRIENDSHIP TOURNAMENT UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE FRIENDSHIP This past weekend six of the team members traveled to UT to play in our first collegiate tournament of the year. Although we were small in number, we were big in heart, (and shoe size). Without much practice, and without a consistent lineup, the team managed to play relatively well, except for one game against Morehead State for whatever reason. We focused on having fun, staying cool, and limiting the service errors. Surprisingly, the passing was better than expected, and Eric's sets were very "hitable," too. Woody(#52) had a pretty good day, spicing up the jump-serves to help the team rally to nearly upset UT's first team, while Frank, Mike, and Rich put up a decent block all day against Purdue, Alabama, Morehead, and UT. Everyone got a few kills throughout the day, especially against Morehead State in the second of two games where MTSU won 15-5. No question, we need to have better practice sessions in order to grow together and overcome some of the weaknesses we now face. Overall, however, I think everyone enjoyed themselves for a change and made progress towards a winning future. That's my two cents, anyhow. You can reply to my penny thoughts by sending your "Letter to the Editor." Look for the results of our next tournament at Maxwell Air Force Base on January 16, 1999.   [Home][Info][Members][Tournaments][Practices][Photos][Links]
