Check out Felix Chavez' column on the front page of the sports section of today's Las Cruces Sun News. To quote his column:
The Aggies held Idaho to a .041 hitting percentage while hitting .435 to sweep the Vandals in 3... 30-20, 30-21 and 30-17.
The rest of the numbers look pretty good as well - 53 kills, 7 service aces (9 service errors), and 8 total team blocks.
In talking with some of the team members at the Sideout Club gathering after the game, they felt they did a good job. I was afraid that the 24 rank would have a negative affect and play with their mental game a bit. I was so wrong. It made them want to play with more determination.
Coach was pleased with the performance as well. There were a couple mis-cues but the team I saw last night was a Top 25 team. In games past - and years past, I've always said that, if there was a hole in the defense in the backline of the Aggies, the other team would find it. I called it the 'bunch up' defense. The girls had a tendancy to bunch up and leave one of the back corners open. The Vandals found it once last night. Only once.
They were solid all around - I heard a lot of people say that they could tell they'd been working on the serving. But like I said, 9 service errors - more in the net than long if I remember correctly.
Coming up this Saturday: vs. Boise State at 7pm at Las Cruces High. I'll get a gameday done this time.
Also - starting at 5:30pm, a tailgate sponsored by the Aggie Gals. And yes, Aggie Guys are invited.
