Fortunately, unlike soccer regionals, the volleyball regionals gives teams a chance to play more than one game. On November 15 our women played both Southern Oregon University and Great Falls. Again, I don't know why you would travel all the way to regionals just to play another conference team, but whatever. I think it is ridiculous how it works out that way. A team should never have to play another conference team in the first round of regionals.
Despite losing to Southern Oregon both times in conference play, and only after three games, our women put up a fight! They had nothing to lose and made the game last as long as it could. They played five games, losing the last one 18-16. That has got to be a heart-breaker! They were so close. But I think the girls were proud of themselves for their effort. Maybe not right away, but later the next week I talked to Nicole Andrews and she said that they played REALLY WELL against Southern.
The other games, uh...not so much. The lost in three to both Great Falls and Lewis and Clark State. The first two games against Great Falls were close in score, but not the second. I could imagine that the women got pretty tired. The Lewis and Clark State games got progressively closer in score, but it wasn't enough to win a match.
Congratulations volleyball on a season well done! Going to regionals is a big accomplishment, and for those that are coming back next year it provides that extra bit of experience that you'll always carry with you.
