End of the season

We woke up this morning and ate breakfast at 9:45. We all got on the bus at 11:45 am to play our first game against Wahpeton at 1:00 am. We were all very excited to play because these were our huge rivals. We really needed to win this game to play in the championship game. Unfortunately we lost the first set 30-32. Followed by the second and the third. We were very displeased with ourselves. We had to play against Bismarck at 7:30pm now and if we lost we would be out and have to go home. We started the game with very little enthusiasm. However, we won the set 25-20. We still played with little enthusiasm in the second game, but still won it 25-22. Unfortunately we lost the third, fourth and fifth sets. We were all very upset. We did not want it to be over. We went back to the hotel and packed up our stuff and headed home to williston.

Regionals Baby!!

First day of Regionals has started and we are off to a good start. Our first game was against Dakota College of Bottineau. We knew that we could not take them lightly and would have to be prepared for anything. We started off the game strong winning 25-17. We then moved into the second game confident that we would be able to win this set. Our confidence then came down a bit and we barely won the set 25-22. Going into the third set we knew we had to finish them off. We started off the game and they were keeping up with us. Points went back and forth, with each team taking the lead at different times. We finally came up with the win 27-25.
Tomorrow is another day and we know we have to step up our game. The first game is against our long time rivals the Wahpeton Wildcats. We know that to win this game we have to bring our A game.

Conference Champions!

Tonights game was amazing. Not only did we win, but we raised money for breast cancer. It was our "dig pink" night. Both teams, as well as the crowd, dressed in pink. There was a bake sale, an auction for a teton volleyball signed picture, "Go Tetons" bracelets, and a door prize. All proceeds went to breast cancer awareness. Being our sophomore night, all sophomores got announced and met their parents on the court. Although all this stuff was a lot of fun, we had to get down to business when we got on the volleyball court.
The first two sets went really well. We had a mind set that nothing would drop. Hitters did really well at putting the ball away. The third set was a struggle, as wahp was ready to come back and not let us walk away without a fight. We made some errors that shouldn't have been made and we ended up losing 21-25. We knew we didn't want to go to 5 sets and we wanted to end it in 4; And that is exactly what we did! We played hard and fought all the way to the end. We are now CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS! :)

one win away..

...from being conference champs.

Our two biggest games of the season are this week. One of them was last night on the road agains Bismarck State College. Last night, at the start of the game our records were the same. However they had the momentum on their side, coming off of a huge win against NDSCS. We showed strength in being able to finish a tough game going into 5 sets. We lost the first set, 20-25. We came back to win the next two sets, 25-21, 25-21. We struggled in the 4th set losing 14-25. Coach Lindsey always stresses how we need to finish games strong. We came out in the 5th set wanting it more than they did. We were the first team to 8, and kept going strong winning 15-8.

Our next game is tomorrow, Friday, Oct. 23 against NDSCS. If we win, we will be conference champs, if we lose we will be co-conference champs. It is also "Dig Pink" night for Breast Cancer Awareness. Come out to support Lady Tetons and Breast Cancer patients!

Jamestown Scrimmage

Tonight we defeated Jamestown's JV, We started out playing really scared and didn't play together very well. We lost the first two matches 20-25 and 18-25 but we got it all together and came back and won the next three matches: 25-23, 25-13, and 15-3. Our goal was to play well together to prepare for our upcoming games this week. We play BSC tomorrow night and NDSCS on friday night, these two games are very important and will determine if we are the conference champions or not. The first two games tonight were not very good, but after pulling it together in the last three, we feel confident about winning the rest of our games this week.

Iowa: Day 2

Iowa Lakes: We improved from the first day but we still need to work on defense, blocking, serving, covering, and finishing a play. For defense we need to keep off our heels and stay on our toes. Stay low while moving from our base to our defensive spots and be ready for everything. We need to close the block and remember to turn it in. And we also need to cover hitters everytime. Missing less serves is a big part of the game too. And putting all this together is important also. After we get a good pass we have to finish it with a hit of kill. And also if we get a good hit we need to be ready on defense if the ball comes back over the net. We ended up losing this game 3-0.

Iowa Central: This was the best game we played all weekend! We improved in all the areas we talked about against Iowa Lakes. Defense and blocking were a big part of the game. Serving was more aggressive and we covered well too. We had a lot of good rallies and stuck with them throughout the game. We ended up losing 3-1 but we played a good game and had fun while doing it!! We need to remember what we improved on and bring that to our upcoming games next week.

Day 1 in Iowa

We arrived at the school at 8:45am to load onto the bus. We left Williston at about 9am. After 16 hours on the road, including two stops to eat, we arrived in Fort Dodge, Iowa. We did not have to leave the hotel until 12pm the next day, so we were able to sleep in a little bit. We left for lunch at 12pm and ate at an italian fast food restaurant. We arrived at Iowa Central Community College at about 1pm. At about 2pm we started to warm up for our 3 o'clock game. We lost to Southwest College in 4 sets. The scores were, 23-25, 21-25, 25-14, and 19-25. We had one game off, until we played Southeast College. In the game against Southeast college we lost the first set, 20-25, won the second set, 25-20, lost the third set, 21-25,won the fourth, 26-24, and lost the final set 10-15. They were both unfortunate losses, however we hope to come out stronger tomorrow. Tomorrow we play at 11am and 3pm. After our games we get back on the bus and head home.

We started our first match off with Dawson Community College very strong. Our serving was outstanding and we all seemed to be working together. The score of our first match came out to be Tetons 25, Dawson 10. The second game, Dawson seemed to have warmed up a bit and stayed with us. Keeping up our intensity has always been our problem but Tetons still came out with a win of 25-21. The third game we didn't play even close to our potential and ended up losing 19-25. That brought us to our final game. We knew we couldn't go 5 games with Dawson and we all knew we had to end it in the fourth game. Our defense and hitting still weren't up to our potential but we did get through the game and pull of another win for our season! We were a little scrappy tonight but hope to have a good weedend in Iowa!

2nd day of home tournament!!

Starting off the day playing Rocky Mountain College in Montana, we won in just 2 games. We started off playing really well and continued throughout both sets. Our defense, both serve receive and digging, was really on key. Along with defense, both setting and hitting were consistantly strong as well. After our 12 'o clock game, we had our friends and family meet and greet in the alumni room along with dinner.
After dinner, we were ready for our next game against Jamestown's JV. We won, but this time in 3 sets. The first set was strong, but we struggled with serve receive and serving in the second set. We came out ready to play in the third set and took the victory.
Our last game of the day was at 4:30 and against Briercrest in Canada. They were a tough team both defensively and offensively. We didn't play up to our potential and made many little mistakes, causing us to lose in 2.
The overall tournament went really well for us beating 3 out of the 4 teams we played. We are finally finding our team chemistry and playing up to our potential the way we know we can.

"I am challenging you guys to play two amazing matches in a row" -Coach Lindsey

This is the first thing Coach said to us before we walked onto the court. And that is exactly what we did. This last week of practice has definately prepared us for this game, and games for the rest of the season. Coach came up with some new rules that really challenged us in practice. With these new rules being very challenging coach is pleased with us, being able to dig up balls that we haven't been able to dig up all season.
Sheridan College is Div. 1 Junior College, and they are a very good team. They are loud, and good at getting into your head. They dig alot of balls and run a good offense. However tonight we did all those things better. Winning the first game 25-16, we were fired up. We started off slow the second game and dug ourselves a hole. We fought at the end but came up short losing 17-25. The third game is always about who has the momentum from the beginning. We always want to be the first team to 8. We were the first to 8, and we kept going strong winning the match 15-11. Coach was very proud of the way we played tonight, and we expect to keep playing this way the rest of the season. It feels great knowing that the Lady Tetons walked of the court giving it everything they had.
We are more than excited to continue our play in our home tournament.

Defense Won the Game!!

Today we travelled our way to the small town of Bottineau to play against Dakota College. This was our first game back from a week break and knowing that Dakota College beat Bismarck, we could not take them lighty.
At the beginning of the game both teams came out fighting hard, striving for every point. With a new line up we were trying, we came up short losing the set 29-31. The second set was different, going back to our usual line-up, we proved that we could make a come-back, gaining all of the intensity on our side, winning this set 25-14. The third set we came out even more pumped up ready to play our game. With their crowd trying their best to distract us, we did not let it phase us, winning the set 25-11. Going into the fourth set we knew we had to keep up the intensity and not let Dakota College come up with the win. With amazing defense we won the set 25-17.
After the game Coach called us in to talk to us, she told us that was the best defense she has ever seen us play, and that is what won us that game!!
We have our home tournament this weekend and hope you can all make it!!

Wahp Tourney!!!
The day started bright and early at 8:30 this morning. We played Bismarck State and we came out strong. But sadly we lost the game in 3 sets. This made us all really disappointed and mad. The next game was right after against Ridgewater. We were defeated also. I think we are all getting sick of losing because every person on our team is amazing and we have the ability to beat these teams we face. We need to learn how to finish a game in top and never let up. We also need to learn how to shake-off mistakes and not let them take over our game. We won our next two games against Morris and HCC. Even though we won we need to play all the way through a game. We need to let the other team make the mistakes instead of making a lot ourselves and playing at their level. We also need to keep the energy up!! If we make these few changes we can become unstoppable because we want to make our goal of going to nationals. Keep pushing ladies!!!

Battle of The Rivals

We met at the school at 8:45am, loaded up the bus and left by 9:00am. It was about an 8 hour bus ride. We stopped in Minot to eat some breakfast and then continued on our way.

Record = 3-0

We came out at our second home game fired up, ready to go with new confidence in each other. Taking our trip to Florida made us realize actually how good we are when we put all of our strenghs and skills together.
Going into our first game tonight against Bismark, we started off strong with great passes, awesome sets and amazing kills. This took us to end of the game winning 25 to 19. Going into the second game we got to comfortable and lost our intensity we had in our first game. We came up short in this game losing 14 to 25. Heading into the third game we knew that we needed to change our attidudes and outlooks on this game. We started to pick up the pase and get our intensity level back up. We carried it all the way to the end winning 25 to 20. Going into the fourth game we knew we still has many things to work on, but were ready to play our hearts out and finish the match. The game went back and forth, both teams fighting for every point. As the game came to an end we pulled through and won 25-23.
After the end of the game, we still realized we have a long season ahead of us and a lot more to work on and improve. We are up for the challenge and ready to dominate!

Second day of games in FLORIDA!

We started off our games by playing Brevard Community College. We changed the line-up a little to begin with. Everyone adjusted fairly well to the change. The intensity and communication was better than any other game we've played. After 4 games, we won the last set 28 to 26. Kelsey closed the game with an ACE!

After our first game, we played Florida Community College-Jacksonville. They are a D1 junior college. They are ranked 16th in the nation with one loss. Although we wanted to be their second loss, we fell short, losing in 3. It was a tough battle and we played hard, but just couldn't finish the volleys.

Both teams were very challenging and competitive. Although it sucks losing, these games are only going to make us better in the end.

Minot State Scrimmage

September 10th we scrimmaged Minot State University in Minot. We played three 20 minute games against them and there was no score being kept. We started off the first game with our regular lineup, and if we were keeping score, a lot of us felt that we would have beat MSU. It was a great opportunity for us to work on the things we have been struggling with. In our last game coach changed the line up again and gave all of the girls a chance to play. It was great to be able to scrimmage Minot because they gave us good competition and a chance to work everything out. Signing off.

After a long van ride to minot and a plane ride to jacksonville the lady tetons arrived at the hotel eager to see the sunshine state. Tuesday morning we gathered into the van and headed to panama city. The weathe was hot and muggy as we played on the beach. Wednesday it was time to play. Coach told us before we left north dakota that this trip is for volleyball. We walked into the gym with our game faces on, and ready to show southen girls that we knew how to play volleyball. The first game against jefferson davis community college went extremely well. We played awesome as a team and talked alot. After beating jdcc in three we faced off with gulf coast community college of panama city. The first game we came out slow losing 13 to 25. However we didn't give up, the next two games where a fight to the finish. We matched up pretty evenly however came out losing 23 - 25 in the last two games. Even though we may have lost we ae always improving. I think it is safe to say we are all excited for our next games in jacksonville on friday. Signing off

First Home Game

We played Bottineau at our first home game and we beat them 3-0. At first, we started out a bit slow, but we picked it up quickly and came back to win the set 25-15. The next set we came out strong and took them 25-11 and in the third set we won 25-8. Our serving was a huge factor in our overall play, as we had a lot of aces. Our blocking and defense also played a large role in the game. All in all, we played really well together but still can improve on communication. We also had a really large crowd that helped us to get pumped up so we would like to thank them for coming out and supporting us!

Game at Glendive vs. Dawson Community College

On Tuesday, September 8th, the lady tetons traveled in our 15 passenger van to Glendive, Montana. With mother (Coach Lindsey) in the driver seat, and coach Rita Ann in the passenger seat, we all jammed out to our pre-game music on the way, trying to get everyone mentally prepared. After the 2 hour trip, we were ready to start the game.

The first set started off very strong. Our defense and offense were both consistent. We played more like a team than we ever have, ending the set with a 25-10 win. The next set got a little more competitive as we fought back and forth with them. Missing a few serves, and having a few serve receiver errors caused us to end in a 25-19 win. The third and final set was better in all aspects of the game. It started off very strong and continued throughout all the players. All players of our team contributed greatly leading us to another victory!

Coach thought we played so well that we stopped at a gas station and were able to get candy and pop. (Doesn't happen very often) :)

Back to the WYO!!!

As we all loaded back on the bus to head to Wyoming, we all had one thing on our minds...to play hard and keep improving. After the six hour drive we made it to Powell, Wyoming. We entered the Northwestern gym and all knew we had to step it up and play way better games this time around. We started warm-up and were all feeling confident and ready to go. The refs blew the whistle signaling the start of the first game. We battled back and forth with them but we came up short handed and lost 19-25. We then started the second game not quite as strong losing 10-25. We all knew we had to get it together and play like a team having each others back at all times.We started the third game and played with the division 1 school. It went back and forth between both teams. There were no easy balls both teams were fighting for their points. We all noticed improvements in our communication which made us feel more confident about every ball we touched. There were many good plays but we didn't pull through and end it in our favor. The last game ended 19-25. We all left with our heads up, knowing that we still had two games that we needed to fight for.

day 2 in wyoming...

The first volleyball tournament of the year is always hard enough.. Imagine it without your head coach who has been drilling you and pushing you as hard as you can go for the last 3 weeks. Me being a player who has never tried to make excuses for why a game didn't go our way or why our team didnt mesh as it should.. can honestly say this weekend may not be what we hoped for. Facing perservierence, Our team has 12 away games (not including 4 away tournaments) and 5 home games (including only one tournament). We have to learn to live on the road.
We came from a rough loss Friday night against Wyoming Central, to lose yet again to them Saturday morning. After an hour game delay against Great Falls we pulled out the 5 game match to win 15-13. We may have had some bad times this weekend, and we definately had some good times, now we know exactly what we need to work on.

First Scrimmage!

Morning Practice-
This morning we started practice at 9:30 with jump roping or “skipping ropes” if you’re Canadian, and our movement drill. Then we all warmed up in passing and began the butterfly drill. Talking and getting to the ball during this drill was very good. That carried over to our serve receive drill. During the first 10 minutes of the drill, coach gave up tips to improve our passing by using what we learn in our movement drills. The next 10 minutes we passed a lot better. After that, we got to run our 4 volleyball killers!! Woo, NOT! We all completed in less than 2 minutes, but hopefully we don’t have to do much more of these. Communication and moving our feet is the key to a good team. We still have to improve on going for every ball and pushing ourselves when we're tired. If we do this we can keep improving our game. This afternoon is our first real scrimmage and we have to push eachother and use what we've been learning in practice.

Scrimmage!-
Our first scrimmage against eachother went well. We worked on plays and switching up the rotations. This got us loosened up for our scrimmage against the faculty and a few others. They were a tough team, but we stuck with them most of the time. Even though they won both games we played well as a team. Coach said she was happy with our play but we still have a little more to work on. We have the weekend off to rest up for next weeks practices. Throughout the next week we will be training for our upcoming tourney in Wyoming! woooooo!

Redemption

Tuesday, Aug 18th, as we still continued to practice twice a day we found ourselves in the gym at 9am once again. Today coach had planned to combine two practices into one because of an inservice she had to attend later that day. We started off the practice with 25 minutes of running around the basketball court and only walking when coach said to do so. After running we began warming up our arms and did a controlled passing drill. Once we were warmed up coach had us do the columbus drill. The columbus drill is a drill where we work on our control as a team. To be able to complete the drill as a team we need to get 15 in a row without the ball hitting the floor. After we completed the columbus drill, coach has us do a giant serve recieve for 10 minutes keeping track of how many perfect passes we got. Coach then introduced us to a new drill where we play 6 on 6. One team would always serve to the other team and the theam receiving the serve would have to get 3 out of the 5 points or else we would have to do one of either push ups, sit ups, squat jumps, sprints or etc. Once we got the 3 out of the 5 points we would rotate. With unsuccessfully completing the drill, practice ended early.

Wednesday, Aug 19, we started of the morning with coach giving us a new set of rules. After becoming familiar with the rules we began warming up with our jump ropes and then warmed up our arms. We then started the giant serve recieve drill for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes we added in the hitter. We then did the columbus drill. After 15 points we started the drill that we didnt complete yesterday. After pushing hard through the drill we are proud to say we finally completed it. Coach then made us each serve and all our serves had to land in the court for us to go home. However, we stayed to complete our lifting for the day.

At 5:00 pm we arrived at practice that we the team had previously planned out. Since the morning practice was a little rough we decided to start off with a fun drill called the baseball game. We then warmed up our arms and jumped into the columbus drill. After 15 points we tried a new drill called natalia's(which came from a Brizilian that coach played college ball with). We decided to try and redeem ourselves with te drill we struggled with earlier. We successfully completed the drill with much improvement. We had time remaining so we did a giant serve recieve for 10 minutes. We went home feeling more like a team.

proving ourselves for two a days...

We are now into our second week of practicing, going only two times a day. But before we could move onto 2 a days we had one finally test that would push us physically and mentally to our limit. Early saturday morning we all met at the school and followed our coach to landfill hill. We all proceeded to make our way to up the hill where coach then told us to all stop. She then made her way further up the hill to a distance where she thought looked far enough for us to sprint up 10 times and get ate alive by swarms of mosquitoes. We completeted this finally test, proving to her that we were able to take on two a days without letting our intensity drop.

The first practice is at 9 a.m. which consists of conditioning and passing drills for about an hour and a half. One of the drills that we did was being put under pressure by having to pass 25 balls in 3 minutes. After passing 25 perfect balls or after 3 minutes, we would then have to get our hearts racing by doing sprints, tuck jumps, jumping jacks, push ups or burpees. We would then get back into the drill and keep repeating it until we reached our goal of 200 perfect passes.

The next time we practice is at 5 p.m., but today everyone had to be there at 4:30 p.m for an extra half an hour of hitting, passing and setting. After that half an hour practice we get right into team drills. Today we did 3 or 4 drills that challenged us to step up and cover the court with either 3 or 6 players, trying not to let the ball hit the floor. Once we completed those drills we then went into 6 on 6 scrimmaging, trying to see who fits where best.

Between our first and second practices we are now responsible for lifting on our own time.

Nearing The End Of Week One..

As we are coming close to the end of week one, we are beginning to realize that team chemistry is improving with each practice. Our practices are becoming more intense and competitive every day. This past week, we have done multiple things at each practice.

We start our day with 6a.m. conditioning practice. We have ran the boot, which is a 2.39 mile run, all under 27 minutes. We have also done 50 fourty-yard dashes and a 3-mile jog. After our conditioning practice, we have a "passing only" practice, which goes for about an hour. "Always play defense first," Coach Lindsey always says. Having this extra practice has already shown great improvements in our defensive abilities. After our "passing" practice is our first time of the day to unwind and catch up on some sleep.

At 12p.m., setters have a half hour setting practice, which contain many touches and the correct movements for each set. After 3o minutes, the setters join the rest of the team in either plyos or lifting. Today, instead of plyos, we were teamed up into 2 teams of 6 and were sent off for a scavenger hunt. "What would you do for your teammates" was what the top of the sheet read. We were sent to do tasks such as take a picture with the walmart door person, play volleyball in the economart parking lot, bag someones groceries, and wash someones windows. While doing these tasks, we had to ask a stranger to take a picture of us doing the event. We do not know who won yet, but the winning team gets a surprise. It is a great team bonding experience.

After our noon practice is another time to wind down. At 5:30p.m. is another "setting" practice, followed by a team practice at 6p.m. We do many things during this time such as hitting work, serve receive, serving, blocking, setting, defense, and many more.

Since the first day of practice, our team has looked sharp. We all work very hard and are becoming more and more confident each day.

coaches thoughts

As the first week of preseason winds down, the talent of this group meets my expectations and more. The sophomores have done an amazing job leading the freshman and showing them the intensity they need to have for the team to have a succesful season. With that, the freshman have listened and pushed themselves to show the coaches and the sophomores why it is they are here. I will continue to expect big things from this team. I am excited to see where this season leads.

Coach Lindsey

A Promising Start

"Nice work and make sure that intensity continues the rest of the season. Very nice today!"
-Coach Lindsey

With only two days and six practices down we are all proud to see that Head Coach Lindsey Graue is very pleased with our performances. Our three practices a day include 6a.m. conditioning and passing, 12p.m weights and plyos, and 6p.m. team practices. Life is literally eat, sleep, and play volleyball. With all this hard work, we all know it will pay off. The work ethic with this group of girls seems to be much more intense than previous years. Every individual is stepping up and pushing others to work hard and to be better players.

Speaking as a Sophomore, we are all very excited and pleased with our new Freshman teammates.

Speaking as a Freshman, I have already noticed an immense difference in the level of volleyball that is played here from what I played in high school. College volleyball is much more fast pased and intense. I came from a high school of only 30 people so basically everybody had to be on the team. On this team, though, every single girl is here for a reason and wants to be here.

We are all excited to see how this season turns out, and we hope to see you at some games!
