IUE Volleyball on a 7 game winning streak!

11/11/2009

IU East volleyball had their last season match of the year lastnight over at Ohio Northwestern. Last year, they came out and played very good against us; we did not show up. This year IU East showed up on their home court. We came out with nothing to lose. We wanted the last match to be a win, so that is how we played. We were unstoppable across the board! We came out winning the first two games. Then we settled with just those two, and the third did not come our way. For Ohio to get the third game from us, it gave them confidence knowing they were still in. The fourth game was a dog fight and we came out two points too short. We wanted to fifth game, we played tough and was not going to let down. We came out and won 15-10! We all played very well lastnight, and we got to keep that up for this weekend. We had two players set two school records lastnight. Lauren Crump had 67 assists which was the most assists in a match. Then Breezy Strete set the record of kills in a match. Also, I tied the record of digs in a match with 28! It was an all around good night for IU East volleyball.

We leave tomorrow for Conference Tourney. We will be playing at Asbury College. We are seeded first this weekend, so we play at 4:00 pm on Friday. If/when we win that match, we will play again on Saturday at 11:00 am. The championship game is at 4:00 pm that afternoon. Our next goal to accomplish is to win this tournament! Here we go! Keep following IU East volleyball and support us on our road to success!!! We aren't stopping now...
