 Well you never really want to depend on an at-large bid and after really just a heartbreaking defeat on Saturday in our conference championship match that's the only thing we kind of had left to hope for reading volleyball blogs and things like that and looking at the regional rankings I was hoping we were hoping we get another chance to play this year especially for our seniors and so we were just elated when we heard our name called a selection show thankfully it was at the beginning of the show so we could kind of relax and enjoy the rest of the show we are going to have to go after them be aggressive play to win I think that I think that's the key and do have a lot of freshmen playing so this is a great opportunity for them to get court experience the NCAA tournament we've had a lot of big matches with a lot of huge crowds this year so I really don't think that's gonna bother them probably the NCAA because it's a neutral site for the two teams probably won't be that big a crowd I was pleased for the four girls that got recognized we have a very balanced team where you can have a different contributor just about every night Shannon Bailey made first team I was very happy for her especially in her senior year and I felt like she had her best season here and it has been a four-year starter started out as a right side was outside her last year and a half and she's embraced that and really played well as a sixth rotation outside Sarah Straub with second team will a conference last year probably played her game of the her best match of the year at Eastern on Saturday so very pleased for her Kayla Baith I think that was well deserved to get at least a second team nod she's a phenomenal passer she takes a lot of the passes and serve receive and she's the anchor of our defense and Riley Kimball has really come on this year not a starter the year before waiting for Riley to start to play like she's playing now so I'm really excited about what's in Riley's future and actually Kayla's coming back for another year too so we're excited this is our 11th straight year going to the NCAA tournament and it's quite an honor happy for our freshman that they can experience it and happy for our seniors that they get to experience it one more time on their way out we are really looking forward to play getting another chance to avenge kind of that defeat and move deep into the NCAA tournament
