Allie really stepped up, and Allie was very strong (Saturday), she was great on defense. Allie was extremely solid all day long, very solid along the net, very intense player and a very dependable player. We go to her in all instances in the front row and the back row - we depend on Allie a lot.

Then, they took off on us.
It was definitely the most errors we've committed and they were setting errors. It wasn't our defense. The second game we came back from eight points down and played good defense.
game good defense errors
(The Lady Crusaders) were intimidating, even though we didn't really look intimidated. They just have a presence out there that hopefully we can achieve one day.
achieve day lady presence
I was pleased with the girls. The first game we held with them for a while.
game girls
We rolled (against Christian Fellowship Academy). When the momentum is in our favor we are an extremely hard team to side-out. If we keep our momentum play by play, the girls really feed off of that. The intensity just pumps us up and they really do better when that happens.

strong day defense great
We had some rest even though we were down with injuries. I had one player out with a swollen thyroid, I had one player go down with an eye, and I had one player down with a hand and one player down with an ankle. Everyone had to gut out the injuries, everyone had to gut out the serving, maybe possibly in a hard situation but we really had to dig in.

I am extremely happy with the playing (on Saturday). This was a tournament we thought that we could win. We came off a hard game against Carbondale, we were pumped up and we were mad about losing - we were pumped up (Saturday).
game thought happy mad win losing hard
Steeleville, I think we kind of came in with our heads a little high, expectations a little too high and the expectations for them were way too low. They are a very scrappy team, not hard hitters, but awesome defense.
kind awesome team expectations hard defense
