Our Ladyjack TEAM put another entry into the Win Column on Wednesday evening against Trinity Bible College (25-19, 25-17, 25-13). Although we were able to sweep Trinity Bible it was much more difficult than the score may appear as the Lions did a good job of battling all night. We continue to have issues opening up the match with solid play, but appear to get stronger as the sets get deeper. Once we learn to start the match the same way we finish the match there is a good chance of us playing good volleyball down the stretch.
We stress passing, serving, communication as the main keys for us to be successful. Our serving was below the standards that we set but communication, and passing was above average. Defensively the groups was consistent across the board with all players contributing at different times. Offensively the TEAM exploded when Freshman Savannah Bruce got into the action. By far it was the best performance of the year for Bruce as she get more comfortable playing middle. We are pleased but not satisfied with our play as we will strive to be better of the weekend.
Once again our crowd was incredible throughout the match as the student section was able to improve their performance, which was tough to do based on our last home match. There is no doubt "The Woodshed" has been as entertaining of environment you will find in the Mon-Dak Conference, let alone Junior College Volleyball. WE are very thankful for the support and hope the energy bus continues to soar at new heights across the athletic teams competing for DCB. THANK YOU!
This weekend we will take off to Thief River Falls and play four different matches in two days. Every opponent will be different from the previous season and none will be familiar which is a great opportunity to measure ourselves against new adversaries. It is a busy stretch for our Ladyjacks playing five matches in just three days, but it will test our boundaries and our ability to fight through fatigue. We look forward to meeting the challenge with great optimism.
Get Jacked UP,
Coach Cory Fehringer
