 Hello and welcome to the Dave tremolo show presented by Buffalo Wildlings. I'm Greg Roystein by Dave tremolo head coach the Stevenson women's volleyball team and coach You're off to a pretty good start so far Can't beat it Yeah, we're both pleased with the way we started this year, Greg. We were really struggled last year at the beginning and this year We really talked about getting off to a great start and I think our preseason was excellent. So I think that's put us Off to a good start. Yeah a couple matches to stand out my my first You know Salisbury match at home that was you know five-step match back and forth I think it had a four points difference total of a whole way through the five sets Just talked about you know, that was really a battle with a pretty good team Yeah, Salisbury is a great match. We caught the other SU Yeah, and so it's always nice to be able to beat them But it really three of our players had career games at that match I mean Victoria Prokic stepped up and 21 kills and and then Shannon Bailey had double digits, yeah, and Our other right side Mackenzie Blevins also have double digits. I mean Shannon had 15 kills Mackenzie had 14. Yeah, both of them had great matches, right? Absolutely And then you know last week you had your home conference over you had Messiah always been kind of a you know back and forth one of the foes or the main rivals of the conference and You know we're able to you know as a close match 3-1, but you're able to you know pull that one out as well Yeah, it's As balances are attack is the new Katie leverage had a great game defensively against Salisbury But then against Messiah she comes out and puts up 15 kills with no errors Yeah, so and then and Shannon Bailey and a freshman had another 15 kills So we're really getting very balanced. They you know Messiah tried to take away Victoria Yeah, and so okay. We're gonna get simple to go blocking over here We're gonna go over here. Yeah, and that kid's gonna put it down for us. Yeah. Yeah talk about Katie I mean, it's kind of unique in that she won defensive play the year for the week for the conference Two weeks ago and then this week was with the offensive play of the week So that's something you don't see too often Katie's defense is phenomenal He really have to watch the game how many touches she gets in the back and can get it up Of course, he plays her number one beach pair. Yeah, I think that helps her defense as well And she's really powerful offensive player, you know, just to watch her play that Salisbury match She was not having a good match, but it did not affect her passing nor her defense And so she was just as happy for someone else to be able to put the ball down So that I think that was real growth for our team. Yeah. Yeah, obviously just the defense in general this year I think has been you know, the defense has always been good But I think even this year it's a little better and you cover the court very well and not lots getting down Really, there's not too many kids on defense that aren't on our beach team. Yeah, and I really do think that that does help Yeah, the level of competition we play number one and number two The reading of the game and then the confidence. Yeah, absolutely now moving forward in conference play I got a big one looming the beginning next week with our Katie up at their place You know, obviously been some very tight matches last couple of years. So that should that should be a big one Well, I think we'll see how much our freshman really have grown Now we're going to be in a household environment There's going to be a big crowd and it's a big match Yeah, so and we barely beat them last year in the conference championship game that return five all-conference players Yeah, so that will be a huge one. So we're really looking forward to that. Yeah, that should be a fun one And you know, we'll be watching online and best of luck. Thanks, Greg. All right, and we'll chat again soon So for Dave tremolo, I'm Greg Royce. This has been the Dave tremolo show
