Amazing game!

Alright, so we played Sage Hill today. Yes, we lost but who cares. It was the best game we have played all season. We lost in three but this figure is misleading considering the game scores were 25-20, 25-22, and 25-20.

Our team went out and finally did what we were supposed to. We were loud and proud, frankly with nothing to lose. It was intense but fun. Everyone was into it, even the bench was shouting the entire game.

In the first game, we took the early lead and then they caught up. We were neck and neck the entire match until we made a couple mistakes and then Sage gained some momentum and got ahead. But we put a few balls down and the defense was phenomonal, picking up a few hard hit balls. We were never out of the game, merely slightly edged out in the end.

The second game was more of the same. But this time, we took advantage of their missed served and some easy hits. The plays were run and we powertipped and hit balls down, either getting the point or getting a free ball out of it. Oh, and we were jump serving pretty well too. Justin Ryoo and Tim Hwangbo did very well today, getting us back into the match even if we were down by a couple.

In the third game, we started a little slower and then came right back. We traded points and Sage Hill was frustrated. Here they are, this really good team and they are having trouble with little old Oxford. But they slammed a few balls just straight down, nothing we could really do.

But still, we played really well. It was our best outing. We need to play like this everygame.
