Volleyball at Ohio University

I know it’s a case of Coulda, Woulda, Mighta, but consider how things have played out in the NCAA tournament. We beat #26 Notre Dame in five. We played #13 Michigan to a tie of 13-13 in the final set before they took the last two points and earned their way into the Sweet Sixteen.

And there, Michigan took down Stanford, a team seeded among the top eight in the nation. This has to have an effect on our ultimate ranking for the year—not to mention how great the players must feel.

In the round of eight, Michigan lost to Hawaii—who now goes on to face the omni-dominant Penn State next weekend in Tampa. (The winner plays either Minnesota or Texas in the finals.)

But all in all, what a year for OU volleyball.

And now a photo from Art Ricker, Lexie’s grandfather, who took this of me in the final moments of the glorious Notre Dame match. I believe I was rather happy at the time! Thanks Art, for turning the lens on the photographer.
