This weekend
Lock Haven Volleyball had traveled down to Millersville and Shippensburg to
take on two more PSAC East teams. We left Friday at 2pm to head down to
Millersville, PA for our first game of the weekend. When we got down there it
was just a normal game day and started our daily warm-up routine. As it got
closer to game time, we huddled around to talk about our game plan, and that
was to win this game.
We went back
and forth in the first set with the Marauders as they take the first set 25-22.
We all came off the court annoyed that we had just lost the first set to
Millersville. As we step on the court for the second match we pushed to make a
big lead and to not look back. We took the second set 25-15 keeping a large
lead in that set. In the third and fourth set we let the Marauders take the
victory away from us as we settled down and played down to their level and had
to play the game Millersville wanted us to play.
The next
morning we went to Shippensburg to play one of our rivals in the PSAC east. We
walked into the gym knowing that it was time to play Lock Haven Volleyball and
give it all we can and to not look back. We knew we had to take care of
business and this was a big game for us. Before the game we talked about
stopping one girl so that they had to find another way to beat us. In the end
they couldn’t find another way to beat us as we take the first two sets, and
the fourth. We played as a team and all had the goal and right mindset to win
this game.
As a team, we walked away from this weekend
knowing that we cannot take any team lightly. We need to come out as a team
from start to finish and play like it is our last game. Another thing we
learned is that it does not matter who is on the other side of the court, when
we put on our Lock Haven University jersey’s that nothing else matters and that
it is time to take care of business and play as a team. We start back up on
Monday to get ready for our Dig Pink Game on Tuesday at home against East
Stroudsburg and Kutztown on Friday.
