 Hello, welcome to Dave Trumbo show. I'm Greg Royce. I'm joined by Stevenson women's volleyball head coach Dave Trumbo and coach last weekend Are you played you know try match at home? You played Catholic and St. Mary's take us through that take us through both matches Well, like the Catholic match. I thought we played really well We had 11 blocks, which you know was something that we've been working on We had watched a lot of film on Catholic knew what they like to do knew that they're key hitters And I thought we did a really good job against Against them and we were able to play, you know a lot of people and so it was a real good win for us Yeah, and then I'm talking about st. Mary's that match and you're able to get some people in and yeah It's you know st. Mary's come very competitive match And again, we're a lot we were able to play a lot of people and which really helps in practice when people are earning playing time for matches and You know everybody kind of chipped in a little bit. There was no real outstanding players When we're playing well, we have five or six. We have really six girls that can all hit Yeah, and circle back you talked about in the first match against Catholic the 11 blocks I think when I was looking it was the most blocks in a three-cent match since 2010 or something along those lines So obviously something you've been working on is that something that you're looking to continue as you go through the season Better Well, it just makes our defense so much better and really it's the serving if we can serve Well and get them out of system that will dictate where they have to set the ball which allows us to set the block So good serving yeah equals good blocking and both of our our pin our right sides Mariah Savage and Lauren we've are really set in a nice block for our middles to close and We're just getting lots and you know those are the blocks There's the ones that dropped into the side how many touches we get could just kind of slow that kill or excuse me that attack down So our defense can pick it up in transition. You know, they were countless. Yeah now the transition this week You start tonight. You have a conference match at Arcadia Arcadia certainly program It's open some eyes with some big wins, and I know you talked about winning the preseason Yeah, just preview what they're gonna bring tonight. Oh, I was right. I Don't Arcadia is good Arcadia is very good. They're they're three and oh right now And so they have no losses in the max. So right now their name is ahead of ours in the standings Yeah, we don't like that So we're gonna try to do something about that tonight on their court So it's gonna be a real battle. They are very good much improved I was kind of glad that they were able to beat Eastern to sell to our kids I told you they were good So we don't have to absorb that surprise and go get in there and then oh my gosh There they coach was right. So they beat East during the very next Match was when they played back-to-back they end up taking a set from Christopher Newport. Yeah, so The Mac is getting better. Alvernia is also improved greatly. So This is a huge match for us to go on the road and I'm sure that Eli pours the coach Eli's gonna be ready for us Yeah, and then the rest of the week tomorrow night you go down to go like that and then Saturday you're on the Road for two more conference matches So what's it like to be back on the road after you know having a couple home matches? Well Gallaudet is a very different place to play And I really think you know they usually win their conference tournament. So they're an NCAA team So it's a it's a it's good for us to play them If we can register a win which we've had been able to do the last couple years and going down there is is very different So it's it's good for our girls to go in some hostile places because the chances are if we get to the NCAA's We're not going to be hosting right so we've got to go on the road and be able to win And then we were kind of catching up with a number of conference matches So we've got hood and like homing on Saturday Which is it was great to do and be able to get them both under our belts on Saturday So we're hoping for a good week. Yeah, well coach best of luck this week Thank you for time for coach Dave Trumbo. I'm Greg Royce. This has been the Dave Trumbo show
