First of all, as a runner, I've always appreciated the volleyball team being one of many teams from LU and Lynchburg College that have been out on the morning of the Virginia 10-Miler volunteering on the course - the VB team specifically near Farm Basket Hill - each year.
Won't be able to make the afternoon match today against HBU or Rice tomorrow, but really enjoyed watching these ladies compete today against South Carolina.
They, especially the young ladies up front (Anna Gragg and Kaniah Williams leading the way), were having fun (those two were almost giddy at times), while competing hard, regardless of the score.
South Carolina's OH Mikayla Shields and MB Claire Edwards mucked things up the most for the Flames up front, not to mention Aubrey Ezell's serves.
The Gamecocks won 25-15, 25-22, 22-25, 25-18, but this squad is worthy of getting out to watch if you're in the Lynchburg area. (Have now been able to see the football team at SMU and Baylor, the men's basketball team at Lamar and UH and now the volleyball team at Rice.)
Only disappoinment was that the staff seemed to have checked out down 15-7 in the fourth set, when the ladies rallied to make it 19-16 before falling 25-18.
