Volleyball at Ohio University

MatchPointOhio often makes a quick video from a match or scrimmage, available within days (even hours!) of the event. Later might come a longer look—and so it is this week with Volume 2 from the Alumni Match. It was a thrill to see so many alumni come back, we shot an hour or two of clips, and we might even put up a Volume 3 sometime later this spring. For now, here’s a second sashay with the new team and the old team.

Here’s the second video of the Defense–Offense pair, from this spring’s matches at the KIVA tournament in Louisville and the scrimmage against Marshall in Huntingon, WV.

Hey, a fabulous alumni match (or alumnae, as we used to write it—but I guess that’s gone the way of actress) on Saturday at five o’clock. Check out this list of great players who are coming back:

Laura [Hageman] Cobb - Cleveland, Ohio (’03)
Krissy Kaminski - Wisconsin Dells, Wisc. (’05)
Stephanie Blackburn - Cincinnati, Ohio (’07)
Whitney Maiden - Nelsonville, Ohio (’08)
Molly Mangan - Claire, Ill (’08)
McKenzie Mauck - Muncie, Ind. (’08)
Ellen Herman - Toledo, Ohio (’09)
Meghan Simons - Lancaster, Ohio (’09)
Jane Sytsma - Madison, Wisc. (’09)
Sarah Petrulis - Westlake, Ohio (’09)
Meryl Bender - Yorktown, Ind. (’10)
Mandy Nichols - Greenwood, Ind. (’10)
Katie Post - Streamwood, Ill. (’11)
Nicole Staverman - Edgewood, Ky. (’11)

Who to root for? Well, everyone. It’s going to be a great match, and the last one until the season starts in late August. C’mon out.

Here’s the first of a pair of videos—one on Defense, one still to come on Offense—from the KIVA Tournament and last weekend’s scrimmage against Marshall.

In this one, primarily: passes, digs, dives and blocks, all set to Steve Miller, someone’s favorite band.

Another video.

This seems to be the history of the modern world: images are taking over from the written word. For now it’s true here on MatchPointOhio, as well.

I’m not exactly stabbing the written word in the back—but who can resist these clips of our team?
