Greetings. VB has completed 2 weeks of pre-conference tournaments and 1 conference weekend. Currently, we are 6-4 and, most importantly, 2-0 in conferece.
We have played a very strong schedule which will benefit us the remainder of the Season. We have played 4 nationally ranked opponents, 3 in the top-10. Further, all of our region matches have been against opponents ranked in the top-12 (regionally) last season.
As the season progresses we are learning more about our team. The ability is there. We have flashes of brilliance. We need to become more consistent and eliminate errors. This will come with time. This is what happens when you have multiple players stepping in from a 'sub' role to a 'starter' role. It is a different mentality.
A great positive is that our players are learning to fight for everything. Nothing is coming easy this season. This will harden their resolve as we near the post-season and pay off if we get in a tight situation which happens in the playoffs.
This week we play Wayland Baptist, Southwest OK and UCO. All matches present certain challenges. The UCO match is critical as they are 2-0 in conference and they have beaten the same regional teams as us. The two LSC matches will be away.
The following weekend we will travel to Joplin, MO for very important regional matches: Newman, Pitt State, Ark-Fort Smith and UCM. These matches will be critical for us in our regional rankings that will come out shortly after. Wish us luck!
