IU East volleyball had a great weekend! We started off good after winning our first match on Friday. We then played in the on Saturday at 11:00 am against Cincinnati Christian. We beat them during regular season conference in 3, so we knew they were beatable. We came out kind of slow in the first game, but we still won in 3 finishing strong. We made it to the championship match the second year in a row. We come up against the same team also. IU East vs. Asbury–they beat us last year in 3 and went to nationals and got beat in the first round. We were here this year to leave a statement. We started out first game strong and ready to win! We won the first two games. Then the third game started and we started to relax–which was not good! We loss that game, so the fourth game started and we took the lead. We wanted the title so bad! “You got to want it, to win it!” and we wanted it bad!!!!!! Match point, Jessica White got the block! It felt amazing!..We now travel to Fort Wayne, and play Taylor University in the first round of nationals. We are playing at 3:00 pm on Saturday!!!! We play close to home (2 hours away)..we hope to see everyone take a fun road trip and come support us make history once more! The winner of this match then travels to Iowa to play the rest of the national matches. We are ready to go! GO IUE!!!!!
