Alumni Weekend = Gabbie O'Toole's 3000th Assist

Both Gabbie's 3000th Assist and our best attended Alumni Weekend needed more pictures and coverage, so this is an extra post expounding on both of those fun events!  Gabbie O'Toole became only the 2nd player in MCVB history to eclipse 3000 assists, and sits in 2nd place overall for a career with 3524 total assists.  Not only that, but she also ranks 5th overall for Service Aces/Set for a career with .42.  

This amazing feat came against a very young, but talented Tufts Team that we just out-played by making fewer errors, really.  And, it was awesome to have all our alums in the stands as well, so a big THANK YOU to all of them for coming back!  I want to give a special shout-out to Lucy Ambach and Kelly Ferrero as the main catalysts for getting people motivated to come back, which I think really helped our turnout.

This was our first alumni weekend where we had enough people to actually play a game on Saturday am before our Tufts match.  With the win over Tufts, we extended our win streak to 9 matches and remained undefeated in Conference!  

We had a fun meet-n-greet in Kenyon Lounge after the match so the current team could get acquainted with the alums and maybe even start to network a bit, which is always nice.  Then the alums headed downtown to Ups for a drink before going on to Flatbread for dinner.  I was able to join them for a quick drink at Ups--something we obviously never did when they were students, so that was fun!  What a group...watching the alumni game in the morning brought back great memories as I watched them warm up and play.  MCVB definitely IS family for life!!
