It has been a busy past month for the Aces Volleyball team! And this Sunday, we got to enjoy a day off after a good weekend in Chicago. We went to Loyola this past weekend and saw a glimpse of how good our team can be! We went 3-1, losing to Loyola in the finals. It was a tough match, but we all came out of the tournament feeling proud of how we played. It was much more encouraging than our last tournament, so the improvement was inspiring.
Wednesday is our first home match and I know all of the girls are excited! We finally get to play in front of our home crowd. It is vital that we carry over our level of play from the weekend, and bring that to the game on Wednesday. The girls are excited that we don't have to travel, even though our rides have been more than amusing; we have had some interesting bus-driving experiences the past couple weeks to say the least! So fans, make sure you come out and support our team.
New Hampshire is our next road trip destination and we will take all prayers because we are flying out on September 11! I know some of the girls are a little nervous about the date, but I am sure it will be a successful trip and I am hopeful we will bring home 3 wins!

Well, we've been practicing for four weeks and our preseason games and tournaments are fully underway! We had a great preseason and are seeing a ton of talent from our incoming players! After our two weeks of two-a-days were over, we had a fun day at our team outing! From being blindfolded and communicating Helen Keller style, to trekking through the woods looking for birds nests, mushrooms, and rocks, to watching Kerry hilariously struggle walking through her arms, and to an eating contest finale, it was a really fun afternoon! Aside from that, we've been working really hard since August 11 and we're hoping to find some wins ASAP! After learning a lot about our strengths and weaknesses this weekend, we're hoping to overcome the losses with a big win at Belmont and maybe even a tournament victory in Chicago this weekend!? Wish us luck!
