Hello-
Classes start tomorrow here at UMM and our season continues to get closer! Coach Pennie and I thought it would be fun to see our returning players take on the freshmen in practice in a 2 out of 3 match yesterday... let's just say it was a little bit intense! The rookies jumped out to an early lead in the first set and won 15-9! I was thinking, "uh oh, what did we do here!?" And after the rookies jumped out to an early lead in set 2 it was looking like a sweep. But the returners bounced back from an 11-8 deficit to win 15-13, forcing a 3rd set. Once again the rookies pulled ahead 9-6 only to cool off and the returners ended up winning 15-12. It was a lot of fun and I've already heard talk from both sides wanting a rematch!!
Last night after our afternoon practice we went to Natalie Thomas' house for supper that her family prepared for us-- it was delicious!! We are starting to get spoiled! Now this morning the freshmen have advisor meetings and a little more time to buy books, parking permits, etc. before we practice this afternoon and evening. Then classes start tomorrow.
Have a great day and Go Cougars!
Coach B
