 and welcome to the All-Dispersons show. I'm Joe Wamba, joined with All-Dispersons head coach of the men's volleyball team. And coach, to start the CVC schedule that you guys had, not the result that you're looking for, but an opportunity to have some retribution when you come home this weekend. Yeah. Yeah, we didn't start out with a win in the CVC. We lost to Eastern Mennonite, which was a really tough match, good school. We lost in five, being up 13-11 in the fifth. And but yeah, we hope to bounce back. We have Karn on Friday, this Friday at 7, and then Rutgers, New York, at 2 o'clock on Saturday. So we hope to get our first conference wins this weekend. And continuing the winning streak at home as well. You guys have been playing well at home and protecting the Owings Mills Gymnasium. That's what we want to do. We want to protect our house. And yeah, we had a nice invitation all where we went 4-0, but that was a long time ago. And what I like to say is you're only as good as your last match. So you just don't reflect back, but you move forward. And some of those last matches, up at Vassar, you guys got to play three games there, splitting with Ramapo and beating another opponent. Talk a little bit about those games for you. Sure. Yeah, Ramapo beat us earlier in the season at Ramapo pretty bad. I think they won 3-0. But then we got a chance to get back at them at Vassar. We played them first, and we lost the first set. And so it was almost like, oh no, here we go again. But the guys bounced back and played really well, probably their best match of the season so far. And we won that 1-3-1. And then it was a tournament. So we had about 30 minutes rest, and then we faced Vassar. And they were playing at home. And it was nice that the student crowd was called crazy and got to play in an atmosphere that was a little intimidating. And our guys played OK, but in the end Vassar was stronger. We took a one set, but they were a really nice program. And then again, let's set our eyes back on Karen and Rutgers Newark that are coming in to Owings Mills Gymnasium for you this weekend. The CVC, all in all, is a pretty strong conference and equally matched conference. What are you looking forward into these games that you have coming up? Well, I'm really focusing on our team. What I saw in the Ramapo match that we won, it was all what we were doing. We were serving consistently and aggressively. And our side out percentage was high. And our pin hitters were hitting in the 300, which is similar to baseball. It's a really good average. So I'm really focused on what we do on our side of the net here. And Karn, they haven't won yet their own, too. I hope they keep it that way. But Rutgers, yeah, they've stepped up. And they're one-in-one. The season's still early, but they've had some good matches. And yeah, we hope to play at our best. I just really want the guys to show how they can play well. Well, Coach, we wish you the best of luck in playing into the height of your playing level. Thanks, thanks. He's All Dispersons. I'm Joe Wamba, and this has been the All Dispersons show.
