Howdy do?!

I am sitting at the airport getting return back to Castellana after a five day trip. We won our league match against Sassuolo 3-1. And I had a nice surprise in seeing an old friend of mine and her family. Antoinette White Geminiani. She is now married with two beautiful kids Jessica and Lucas. Lovely family. Hopefully next year my husband and I will be blessed with a little one. But for now, long live VOLLEYBALL.

Our match on Wednesday for the Cup of Italia, didn’t go so well. We lost 1-3 which forced a fifth set to fifteen to settle who would advance. We lost. Boooo. We had a really good chance to win but in the end errors at crucial moments hurt us as well as lack of defense.

I am happy about my blocking. Seems I am getting a better rhythm. I tied the match high of seven with Novara’s middle. I bombed that I missed two serves and had THREE hitting errors! That is a record hit for me. That is three errors in one match. Still lots of training ahead to better my timing with the setter. However, although I took a risk when I committed the error, I have to use technique to try to better the play: tip, rebound, roll shot…

We play next at home YEAH, and look to bring our record to 3-1 for the league.

Blessings to Ya,
