Comments;
This was one of those games where the girls came out and played real well the first two games. I had a sense that we were on the edge of having a let down at the end of the second game so I addressed that during the time between games. I guess that didn’t help because in the third and fourth games we had a real let down. We lost our focus thinking, after the first two games, Lewiston was going to go easy in the third. But they’re too good of a team to do that and so they came out fighting and on fire. With our let down, we fueled the fire with our mistakes and lack of execution. Well, it was nice to see in the 5th and deciding game we regained our composure and got back to playing more like we’re capable of playing and won the match. One wonders how the game of VB can change so quickly and one thinks they’re just young girls and that this wouldn’t happen to college athletes but on Wednesday the same thing happened to the UNL VB team when they played Missouri in Lincoln. So I guess one shouldn’t be so hard on these high school girls when even one of the best VB team in the country can have the same thing happen to them.
