The End...
Well....we are done. The season finished last week in Portland... We beat Idaho State in another five game match (3rd one this year!), then got beat in five by Portland State (3rd one this year!).
The Idaho State match was pretty crazy. There is just something about that team that gets to us. We find ways to win, but it is rarely pretty... The girls just kept battling through it and made it work for us. Both times we played them during the season we lost the first two, then won in five. This one was less dramatic, but a five-gamer is always tough.
Our match against Portland State was rough. They came out ready to go! They took it to us the first two games...then we came back after the break to take the next two. Once again it came down to the fifth game, and once again Portland State found a way to take it late in the game.
In the locker room after the match our girls showed how awesome they truly are. They were so full of thanks. Thanks that they had the opportunity to play, thanks to the seniors for their drive and hard work, but most of all, thanks that they really loved being together. There were a lot of tears for sure, but in the end, we were proud of our season. The coaches were definitely proud of the team. I think the returners are already gearing up for next year!
I put together a little video for the girls (which we are watching together later today). I will have to cut it into a couple of parts in order to post it... Yes, our girls are great volleyball players (as evidence by our 24-7 record), but they truly love being together and have a ton of fun... Watch and enjoy.
