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.
