2-0 start for N1 16 in Miami...Miami #2

What a day it was for the young upstart club Nashville One. Nashville One 16 got started in the 10 am match,pitted against Cincy Classics. In game one Nashville One led most of the way and finally took the win on a Stephanie Click kill off a slide set by Kristy Hughes. 25-23

Key players in the game one win were Emily VanGrinsven and her offensive output and the defensive presence by Casey Mense.

Game two was bak and forth the entire game. At 5-5 we saw a defensive rally capped off by a Caroline Carlton pancake that IHOP would have been proud of. 11-13 Lauren Kaufman showed us a crafty lefty pokie that went down for the kill and got the rally started. Overcoming a ton serving errors was tough to do but Nashville One prevailed winning the second game 26-24.

Key players in game two was the connection of Stephanie Click, Molly Reidy and Kristy Hughes in the middle.

Match #2...Iowa Rockets

The girls got off to a slow start...finally taking the lead at 24-23. But the game went on as Nashville One finally took the win at 28-26.

Keys to the win were the defensive play by Kirsten Taylor and Lauren Kaufman at the net.

Game two was one of those games where nothing went our girls way, including the ending as Iowa Rockets took it 25-21.

Game three started out with a bang as our girls jumped out to a 8-1 lead...capped off by Stephanie Click BOUNCING a ball on the 3 foot line. No joke that thing was sick. Well our girls wanted to make it interesting and that they did. Iowa Rockets fought back and tied at 11. Emily Had an awesome ace down the line to take the lead but a controversial call allowed the Rockets back. A pair of slides by Kaufman and Click made it all good as the girls won 15-13.

Off to dinner with the team...will report back to you tonight.
