On the road again yee-haw.
This was our last weekend of conference play and we were off to Valpo to take care of some unresolved issues. After being off for a whole weekend, we wanted to make sure we could still take prisoners.
We won the first set with our intensely good looks. We won the next game as well. However, in the third set we took a turn for the worse. We walked to the bench for the fourth set, and you could see the anger in our eyes. (Popeye face.) We were down 23-16. And we came back and won with an amazing (yet ridiculous) block and we won the game. (She says she only got that block because our incentive to win was ice cream and she loves ice cream and was done messing around.)
We can’t remember the final score, but the important thing is we won. Everybody knows close only counts in horseshoes and hand-grenades. We were rewarded with ice cream at Culver’s and it was delicious.
The next day we were off to UIC to see if we could pull off the unspeakable. Our locker room was actually a conference room. Sam tried to turn on and off the lights several times, but actually just put up and down the projector screen before she could figure it out.
We lost the first set of the game. Which is crazy! It had not happened in conference yet. None of us were worried, though. We ended up winning the next three games. Then we all knew, we had done something that hadn’t been done since 1994. We were the second team ever in the Horizon League to go UNDEFEATED for the entire conference season. 16 and 0 WAY TO GO!
Special congratulations to Morgan Potter, Elizabeth Egerer, Rachel Neuberger and Kerri Schuh for making the All League Team.
