Self-described as "that girl who sits on the bench and catches scarves, books, pens and sometimes even heavy necklaces that Susie throws when she gets frustrated," she will be writing the blog every week for the team and the many endeavors they encounter.
Today is her sixth installment for 2014.
We’ve got a short one this week folks. This weekend we only played one game and that was against in state-rivals and travel partner UW-Green Bay. But before we get into that, I’d like to just give a giant shout-out to the wonderful Green Bay Packers as they did work Thursday night and took care of the Vikings. Sorry to all you Minnesota people out there, gotta give credit where credit is due, you know?
Anywho, Friday night we took on the Phoenix of Green Bay. They were coming off of a tough first conference weekend as they lost to Valpo in three last Friday and lost to UIC in five Saturday night. It was bound to be a good match, and it sure was.
If you were at the game you probably noticed something about our bench. It’s packed. Like jam-packed. Three years ago when I started being the manager here, I had all the leg room you could imagine, really I could lay down across the chairs if I wanted to, I wouldn’t, but I could. This year, it’s a little bit of a tight squeeze and I am loving it! Our bench is full of some pretty great people and not only that but if anyone ever misses a play when taking stats they’ve got someone on each shoulder that they can ask for a replay of what just happened. It’s a full bench, but it sure is a fun bench, especially when Susie walks through and sings along to a song or cracks a joke.
We beat the Phoenix in four and are looking to move on to next weekends matches because it is our long conference haul. This coming weekend we are out in Ohio to take on Cleveland State and Youngstown State. Before I leave you there is one more order of business on the shout-out list that must be brought up. Over the last couple weeks a huge congrats goes out to senior libero Taylor Golabowski on reaching her 1,000th dig and senior outside Julie Kolinski on reaching her 1,000th kill! Great job ladies, and great job Milwaukee Volleyball!
Until next time...
