LHU Finishes Spring Season at Bucknell

After the Bucknell scrimmage I was extremely happy I thought everything we worked on throughout this spring season started to come together. We started to play really well with each other. We had many different lineups and I think we were able to play confidently and comfortable in all of them. There were times when we got ourselves into a hole mainly in serve receive but we fought back and never really seemed to get down on ourselves or frustrated with each other.  I think we were very consistent in our level of play throughout the Bucknell scrimmage. We stayed aggressive the whole time and I think the communication on the court was positive. I thought this scrimmage was a great way to end our spring season on a positive note. We showed growth and improvement and made clear the parts of our game we still needed to clean up. Now hopefully everyone will continue to work hard this summer, so when we come back in the fall we can get straight to business!

Eagles Head to Bucknell for Final Spring Game

This week we  have been preparing to take on Bucknell this Friday. We started the week off by watching film of ourselves from our past tournament at St. Francis. Taking time to sit down as a team and to discuss our goals and watch film is a great way to learn. Seeing ourselves and going over what was wrong or right about the play is the best way to learn and understand exactly what we are doing. This process can go far with helping us achieve great things. Hearing and also seeing the criticism good or bad will only help us in the end.  On Tuesday we broke down different skills that we all needed to get better at like block/defensive moves. Throughout the week we focus on our individual goals and our team goal to “Get better today.” At the end of the week we work on playing a lot of game like drills and six on six games. By doing all these things and getting better each day we are ready to walk into Bucknell with confidence and give 110% each play and to have fun.
