Rough ONe!


So yesterday we played in the qualifier. We had only one match to win, but do oyu realize how much pressure that is?????We were the number one seed playing the 16 seed, Netherlands. They were 2 young girls, but very athletic....We proceeded to get the most out of the day by losing the first game terribly...21-13. We continued to play very poorly, and were trailing all of the second game, until 12-14, then we scored 2 in a row, for the 14-14 switch. After that, we were point for point, but we got the 18-17 switch. From there, we pulled out the veteran plays and won 21-18. To start the third.....we scrapped for every point, then took a timr out at 4-7 (yes, we were down). We were thinking, but never said it out loud....we could be finished here. However, after that time-out, we scored 3 point to make it 7-7. Next thing we knew we were up 10-9, the switched at 11-9. We proceeded to finish the game out at 15-11. Woohoo......good ending. Today, we face Italy....the same team that knocked us out in Moscow. All we can do is have some fun while doing what we love.

See you all soon.....
