This week I spoke with Angie Young, coach of Ithaca's volleyball team.
I think our team is actually starting to build.
We had a rough start to the season.
Things were, you know, circumstances out of our control, but things were real challenging for a while.
And I really feel like the girls are starting to build some momentum.
here as we go on in this season.
We just were at Schollsburg on Saturday at a tournament there, and I was really pleased with how the girls performed there.
We were the only D5 school in that tournament, and they played really well, so I'm hoping we can continue to build on that, and we have three home games this week, so I'm really hoping it'll be a great week for us.
Right, you have a lot of things to play, and a lot of things to play for here as you get down towards seeding, which right now is not that far away, is it?
No, no, it's really crazy because a week ago, I would have said we were, you know, not even a fourth of the way through our season.
And then, you know, when you think about it in a couple of weeks, the regular season will be done.
So that is kind of a craziness of volleyball season.
It's a lot of games, really short season.
And yeah, we'll be stepping into those seedings before we know it here.
