Coming in as a junior transfer I had no idea what to expect this season. But all in all it was a great year and exceeded my expectations.
We started the season off strong, had a little trouble getting some wins on the road, and finished well at home, good enough to get us into the conference tournament! We played hard against Northwestern semifinals, but unfortunately lost in four (We’ll get’em next year!). Overall our season was great; we have a lot of talent and had a lot of fun! I’m looking forward to what next year brings us!
These last few weeks as a team we have started to lift under the guidance of Coach Jarvis, our strength and conditioning coach. He was kind enough to set up a lifting program for us four days a week throughout the off season. Other than lifting we also try to get together twice a week to keep touching a volleyball.
Away from campus, we've been helping out at the Morris Area Elementary school, instructing 4th through 6th graders on basic volleyball skills. We also have been volunteering (at 7:50 in the morning… in cold weather) to supervise morning recess at St. Mary’s school. Shannon and I had our first experience this morning… needless to say we fit right in playing with the kids on the playground.
Tonight we will all be getting together at Coach B's house for an amazing meal and to wrap up our season!
Thanks for all the support this year!
Jordan
