A Loss to Wingate Ends the Season

Hey everyone! We just arrived home from Wingate, North Carolina, which was the site of the Southeast Region NCAA Tournament. We made Montevallo history as we were the first team in ten years to make it to the NCAA tournament and we were the very first team to win a game in the NCAA tournament. It was a great experience for everyone involved.
The first round of the NCAA tournament, we played Lincoln Memorial. It was a tough battle, but we came out on top as we won 3-1. It was an awesome game and everyone played their hearts out. Our next match was against number one ranked Wingate. It was a very intense game at each of the sets had a difference of four points or less. Everyone played extremely well with not only passion and heart, but with intensity. Even though we played hard, we did not come out on top as we lost to Wingate 3-1. It was a tough loss but everyone was proud of our accomplishments and how well we played. All in all, this season was a very memorable season for the Falcons! We will take some time off and get back to work in the spring. Until next year, GO FALCONS!

We Made It!

Hey everyone! I have a lot to catch you up on. The last time I posted we had just finished up the regular season and were getting ready for conference. Overall the Conference Tournament went well. The first night we beat Francis Marion in five games. We then proceeded to play Armstrong Atlantic in the semi-finals. We lost the first two sets and battle back to win the third and fourth set. The deciding fifth point came down to the wire and unfortunately we came up short handed. Everyone was disappointed on how it turned out, but happy that we fought to the very end. We left Armstrong Atlantic that night with a lot of uncertainty. We were not sure if our season was over or if we would get a bid to the NCAA tournament. The answer came Sunday night as everyone crowded around their computer to see the announcement that we had made it. After the announcement we had to get ready for a short week of class and practice. We practiced Tuesday night and Wednesday morning and then left Montevallo Wednesday after practice to head to Wingate, NC. We had practice this afternoon at Wingate and everyone is back in their rooms preparing for tomorrow. We take on Lincoln Memorial tomorrow night. Ill let you know how it goes. Until next time, Go Falcons!

Senior Weekend

Hey everyone!
It has been a busy week and  weekend so I am going to give you a quick update. Last weekend we played on Friday and Saturday. Friday we played against University of South Carolina Aiken. After a good win we took the court Saturday for our Senior Game. Before the game we honored Rebecca and Kara as it would be their last time playing in the gym. After honoring them, we played Lander and it ended up in a disappointing loss. It was a tough loss but everyone agreed to get past it and improve. We have had a good week of practice this week and leave tomorrow for conference. Everyone is excited. I will let you know how it goes. Until then, Go Falcons!

Dig Pink/Halloween Weekend

Hey everyone! Last week was an awesome week for the Falcons. It started off Tuesday night as we traveled to the University of West Alabama. After a tough battle, we came out on top in the fifth game. It was a great feeling to finish off a close match. After the West Alabama game, we had the Wednesday off then two more practices in order to prepare for the weekend.
This weekend was very eventful as two games were our Dig Pink games and one was our Halloween game. Saturday's games were are designated Dig Pink games. T-shirts and sweets were sold at the gate and all the proceeds went to breast cancer research. We also played in pink socks, pink pre-wrap, and Dig Pink tattoos on our arms. We played two games that day. The first one was a conference game against the University of North Carolina Pembroke. We came out strong and defeated them 3-0. We then had a thirty minute break before we played a regional game against Stillman College. We dominated the first set and then had some fun in the second and third games. We ended up winning 3-0.
On Sunday, we decided to bring the Halloween festivities on the volleyball court. We had a costume contest for young children who attended the game. After the second set, the children came onto the court for everyone to see their costumes. The fans voted on the best costume. As far as the game, we defeated our conference foe, Francis Marion 3-0. Overall, it was an exciting and eventful week and weekend, as we went 4-0. Three more games coming up this week. The Conference Tournament is just around the corner!
Until next time, Go Falcons!
