Hello all-
Sorry, but this is going to be short- a little tired! Flight yesterday went great, but then had some trouble renting a van... got that resolved after a long delay and then grabbed some snacks from a gas station before turning in to a ... not so great hotel (that's what we get for trying to save some money!). Everybody survived though and we got up this morning ready to see Boston! After some time walking the Freedom Trail and Boston Common and seeing Faneuil Hall we split up into groups for a bit and had lunch at Quincy Market. Then it was off to Springfield to play two matches.
Springfield had some very, very tall volleyball players. As well as we played and as much energy as we had, we couldn't pull out a set and lost 3-0. After a short break, it was back at them against Daeman College, an NAIA school from New York. A first set blowout was followed by a 2nd set win where we had 21 kills! We didn't get much help from Daeman as they had only 3 errors in the set (hitting, setting, serving, passing, ballhandling, etc. They played with very, very few errors and we lost a small lead the 3rd set and dropped that one before losing the last set 20-25.
Off to bed now-- more to follow. Full from eating at the 99!
