This week we started of with a bang. We hosted Baylor last Wednesday night, and there was no doubt in my mind that everyone wanted to seek a little revenge. We started off a little shaky by losing the first game, and then we really put it on them in games two, three, and four. It was a fun match to play, and it is always a great feeling to send the Bears home crying. On Saturday we traveled down to Austin to play the Longhorns. I was pretty pumped because a lot of my family and friends were there, including my fiance's family as well. I couldn't wait to see everyone, and I couldn't wait to beat Texas on their own court. We played aggressive in quite a few areas in this match. Our defense picked up, we put a lot of balls away, and we were head to head with them in blocking. On the other hand, we didn't serve aggressive enough which in turn opened up more opportunities for them to score. Our passing was also a little streaky. This hurt us in the end along with some off the wall officiating. Overall, we ended up losing a match that seemed to slip right through our fingertips. It was disappointing, but as a team, we have to move on and focus our attention on beating Colorado. We travel to Boulder on Wednesday, and then we will be back here to host the Aggies. See you there!
