1st Matches Wrap Up

Each team has played their first match of the tournament. Below are some of the players commetns and mine:

YOUTH MATCH #1 – vs. USA Select GoldWell hello everyone!!! This is RAE MULITALO speaking=) We just got done with our first game against the USA YOUTH team. Yes, we did win! We took em 3 games. The first game was a little shaky…you know how that is. We were all a little nervous, but then it finally kicked in in the second game. FLORIDA is amazing!! Very hot and humid… I guess we’ll all come back with smooth skin! Lol wish us luck for the rest of the tournament! Thanks for all your support!!=)

Thoughts from Assistant Coach Josh Fisher:
It’s always nice to start a tournament with a win. We struggled a little early making too many mistakes, especially in the serving and passing game. It was great to see them respond to the situation and fix those problems. I felt the middles did a nice job of getting us points when we needed them. Although there were some nerves we battled through and never quit competing.
Players of the match: Best Passer was Megan Sorenson with a 2.25. Our best attackers were Maline with a .667 in the middle, Clotile Harris with a .462 in the middle and Taylor Murphy with a .167 on the right side. Jenna Ellis had the most digs with 15 and Taylor Murphy led the blocking with 3. Taylor Murphy was our key player in this match with 9 kills, 5 aces, 8 digs and 3 blocks.
Next up is Ohio Valley at 3:45pm! Go Intermountain!

Select Team before their first match

SELECT MATCH #1 – VS. Southern CaliforniaHOLA! This is CIARA PARKER blogging from the sunny actually cloudy and rather humid Ft. Lauderdale Florida! We just finished our first game against Southern California. They were a very good team with a lot of good players. We were a little nervous at first because some of us didn’t really know what to expect. We did what we could control though, and we kept up with them. The twins ( Dylan and Dakota) as well as Crystal ( can’t spell her last name) had some AMAZING blocks. All in all it was a BLAST and I am really looking forward to playing our next game. I really think that our team is going to do well in this competition. I am excited to see what the future has in store for us as we continue to improve every game! Keep Cheering !!! GO INTERMOUNTAIN VOLLEYBALL!!
Adios,
Ciara

Players of the match: Crystal had 7 blocks. Dylan had 5 aces and Dylan hit a .222! Jayme and Jessika came in at critical times in the match and did a great job serving also.
