Finally we are playing like our team should be. Can we still get better? Of course we can...but last night we played some real good volleyball. We were up against a dangerous, Russian-like team by the name of Conegliano. I say Russian-like because they were giant. In their previous 2 matches they had a total of 38 blocks...pretty unheard of. With only a little time to prepare for this match after our loss to Bergamo, we spent a lot of time watching video as a team, and surprisingly I watched some by myself. I knew that my job as a setter was going to be difficult playing against such a good blocking team, and I wanted to be prepared to give my hitters the best chance they could.
We came out on fire, serving tough, blocking well, and hitting past their enormous block. I felt in such a great rhythm I was able to give my hitters the best opportunity for a kill. They only had 6 blocks all match...normally they have 6 a set. Other then a slight run by them in the end of the 2nd set...we dominated the match. It felt great...and even better we got 3 points...now just 3 points away from a week off.
Next up Castellana Grotte...down to the dirty South
