The STMU women's volleyball team played their season opener in a highly energized evening at their home court at Rally Pointe. The girls had the jitters at the beginning at game and missed 9 serves resulting in a 17-25 loss. However, despite the large number of fans that Ambrose brought in to cheer their team on, our girls came back with a much better focus and played their own game resulting in a 25-22, 27-25 and 25-17 wins. Great job on the win to start the season off!
The next night the team traveled to Lacombe for a mini-tournament vs. Canadian University College and a school from Texas, Southwestern Adventist University.
The night began with a tilt against ACAL rival CUC, and the girls played well, winning both sets against CUC. In the match against the SWAU Knights from Texas our team came out eager to play and defeated them 25-16, 25-22 and 19-21 with the complete bench particpating in all the matches. Great match by the girls. Special recognition goes to Kendra McLeod who played hard even though she had a bleeding ankle. The grit and determination of the team is a model of a true team with spirit and dedication. Great start to the season and 3-0 record so far in matches played.
Look for the Lighting girls to come out and play against Olds Broncos at our home gym at Rally Pointe this Friday Oct 8 at 6:30 PM. Look forward to seeing all the Lightning Fans there!
