USA IDQ Day 1!

Day 1 of the USA IDQ is done! I won my two pool play matches in three games each. The first match I played was against the number one seeded team in the tournament!! My partner, Dana Kabashima, and I played GREAT the first game! I think the score was about 21-15. The other team changed their strategy a bit the second game and it was close, but we lost. The third game was close the entire way but we pulled it out at the end and won 15-12!!

The next match was against the 13 ranked team (we are 12) and that match also went to three games. We lost the first game, mainly because it was a completely different style of playing. The first match was against two taller girls who were more aggressive hitting and offensively, whereas, the second match was against two shorter girls who had better ball control. Once Dana and I figured out how to play this team, we won the second 21-16 and the third game 15-10.

It was a really fun day (after the rain stopped this morning)!!! Pretty windy, but some good volleyball was being played! I'll update again tomorrow after play-offs! They should start around 9:30.
