The WAC Tournament started out with the banquet on Wednesday night at the Farm and Ranch Heritage museum. What a wonderful event it was. The ladies looked great, the food was wonderful and the room was packed. There were over 150 Aggie supporters on hand.
The season awards were handed out and some of our Aggies were rewarded for great play. Kim Oguh, Amber Simpson, Krystal Torres and Lindsey Yon made the first team, Krista Altermatt made 2nd team. Brynja Rodgers made the All Freshman Team.
Yesterday saw a TON of volleyball action. Being the addict that I am, I was at the Pan Am for the first game at 9:30am. Aside from a little break before the 5pm game, the Pan Am was my home.
We got to meet a lot of fans from the other schools - great fans, all of them. We cheered for Louisana Tech (since some player parents were sitting in back of us), Idaho State (since it didn't seem like anyone was there for them) and then San Jose State (again, since player parents were sitting all around). Each team played great and with a lot of heart.
The big upset was San Jose State beating Utah State in 5.
At 7:30, our Aggies FINALLY got onto the court to take on Fresno State. I spoke with the mom of one of the players who told me that the team had stayed in Las Cruces after their match against us on Sunday. It was over in 3 and we finally got to see Whitney Woods on the court. She got her first kill as well and that brought out a huge smile from Coach Jordan. The girls played great as usual!
One highlight for me was getting to meet Coach Jordan's parents!
So, for tonight, Hawaii will take on Nevada at 5pm; the Lady Aggies meet San Jose State at 7:30pm.
With all of this volleyball overload, I'm sure I'll be going through withdrawl come Sunday morning!
