A Sea Of Red

LU is currently 2-0 in its own invitational and will take on the Purple Aces tonight at 6:00 PM.

well i am in the Vines center for the last time today. first serve will get underway in 16 minutes. this should be a very good game.

Let's finish off the opening tourney in style.

a slow start so far 7-2 Evansville in the 1st game.

LU is not playing with any intensity and Evansville is bringing it. 16-8 evansville.

20-15 Evansville. timeout evansville.

we came back to tie at 23 and now down by 3 26-23

30-27 purple aces gm1

There's still plenty of time. We had established earlier that the Purple Aces would be our greatest challenge of the weekend.

our passing is much better thus far in the second game. 17-8 LU 2nd game.

30-20 LU game 2. match tied at 1. great comeback after a lacksadaisal first game.

Nice ... let's take these next two and consider the opening weekend an overwhelming success.

13-13 in the third game.

Tied at 18 Karly Bacon is putting up some good numbers

This third game is tight. Too close to call. How are we looking out there Sportscritic?

two stupid plays cost us game 3 31-29 purple aces.

Gut check time.

in the beginning of game 4 it looks like we gave up. but now we are narrowing it down to a margin of 3 and we aren't at this time making plays on the defensive end to tie and catch them. 17-13 aces.

24-20 aces.

Its rally time ... let's push the Purple Aces to five.

30-21 aces. LU pretty much imploded after the third game.

Not the way they wanted to close out their opening weekend. But it sounds like our new players are building some game action chemistry with the returnees.

I can certainly live with a 2-1 start.

good night.

After the last 2 seasons this start is encouraging.

All I can say is Coach Pinder was right when he said this morning that Karyl Bacon could be a very special player for this team. 18 kills this morning, 17 kills tonight (though in a losing cause) that girl for her size, is gonna get her kills every night that is for sure
