We traveled to Skidmore again on Wednesday night for a mid-week match. Lizzy was sick, but other than that, we seem to be getting past the bug that's been going around. We took two vans, one leaving early so some could have two hours pre-match to stretch, heat, roll, etc., and one late van so some could stay in class longer, and arrive just in time to change clothes and warm up. For the mid week matches, that can really help out academically, so we try to accommodate that whenever possible.
The first set saw us hit almost at our goal of .200 with .196, as we almost tripled their kills 17-6. Kathryn set the 2nd and third sets, which saw our hitting % rise to .414, and .282 respectively. Becca led our offense with a match high 13 kills, followed by Olivia with 11, Alice with 10, and Piper with 8. Emily led our defense as the libero with 12 digs, followed by Becca and Olivia with 10 apiece. Piper and Alice both had two blocks, and Hannah had a match high 2 aces. Melanie hit .571, while Alice hit .474 for two great hitting matches, which was fun.
Our dinner at Chipotle was great. We've never been to that one before, and we usually just get Subway when we go there, so we had to play a quick prank on Gabi and make her think we'd ordered everyone turkey from Subway so we could get on the road faster. I don't even really get the joke there on Gabi, but was happy to play along--and we seemed to get the reaction from both Gabi and the team that the captains were looking for. :)
The straight set win was our second over Skidmore, and now we are prepared to play two more NESCAC schools this weekend at home against Bowdoin tonight, and Colby on Saturday. GO MIDD!!
