Sunday was Senior Night and it was such a great day!
We started the tailgate at 2pm and had a wonderful crowd show up to join in the fun. The volleyball net was set up with official Tailgater Rules (there is nothing such as too many hits, double hits and so on), the food was amazing and - well - just a great time was had by all.
The Lady Aggies quickly dispatched of their opponent Fresno State 30-20, 30-18, 30-16. The seniors played amazingly. We even saw Jordan Bostic at outside hitter and she had 3 kills. Krystal Torres was stellar. She went on a 12 point run in game 2 with 3 aces.
The ceremony for Senior Night was...emotional. We honored 4 great student athletes - Jordan Bostic, Kim Oguh, Briana Akrie and Anna Callis. You can see photos at the tailgaters photo album
We had a Side Out afterwards - our last one of the season - and it was packed. We tailgaters made 4 huge cards for each senior and got as many people to sign it as possible. We gave them to them afterwards.
But it ain't over yet, folks!!
