Down but not Out
29 April 2009
Not the start we were looking for. Both nights were plagued with unforced errors and lack of execution. It was an extremely frustrating few matches as we were constantly battling our own mistakes. To Belgorod’s credit, they really put a lot of pressure on us last night in particular from the service line. As a team, we already have a really hard time getting balls to our middles and with 4 out of 6 servers swinging for aces, it reduced our offense to high ball scenarios. But even with that, we had our chances and it is virtually impossible to win if you don’t control the ball on your side of the net.
In general, our team has been very poor at adapting to teams and exploiting weaknesses, however, there is no more time, for our backs are against the wall. We have to change. We must defend home court this weekend to stay alive.
