The freshman volleyball team left the crowd in awe with their performance on Oct. 12th; from beginning to finish, the players strived for a win within a total of three sets. Although they lost their first set, they redeemed themselves with a triumphant win in the second set.
“We were nervous and a little tired,” Natalie Hirth, the defense specialist on the volleyball team, said. “We were not loose; playing, like, fun volleyball. Towards the second [set] we played the game and got [more] involved.”
Players further away from the net need to have a balance of offensive and defensive play, and trust within the other players is key in a heated match like this. Although Timberland took the win, there’s no doubt about the energy and effort the freshman team put forth.
