 Hello and welcome to the Dave Trumbo show presented by Buffalo Wildlings. I'm Greg Royce shown by Stevenson Head Beach volleyball coach Dave Trumbo. Coach I may not look it outside right now but you guys just got back from spring break. They're a pretty successful trip overall. Let's kind of talk about how the trip went for you guys. Well Greg it was wonderful. I mean we had great weather and the girls had a lot of fun. We started off the week. We flew into Tampa and drove down to Miami and played St. Thomas and Florida National and we're able to win two matches and it was kind of warm-up matches. When I scheduled those matches I'm not sure how much we're going to be on our sand but we had 12 or 13 practices so we are in good shape and then we drove up to Orlando and played Eckert and Tampa and lost both matches three to two but we'd never taken two sets or two matches from Eckert and Tampa. Very athletic very strong indoor team so three to two wasn't too bad and then then the next time we played we played Weber international and Warner. We had been able to beat Warner in the past. This year Warner went all five matches went three. Unbelievable we won all five in three so we won five nothing but was a lot closer than than what the score indicated and then we turned around and played Weber would never even taken a match from them before and we're able to beat them three too so that was one of the highlights of our trip beating Weber a team that had beaten us five to nothing in the past and they were the small defending small college national champions so that said a lot. Then we moved on to Saturday and played Florida Southern and that was a really close three to loss. We at the ones Anika Swartz and Jan Christensen lost twenty one twenty one nineteen twenty one nineteen but we were able to win on the at the threes and fours that day so that was a real close three to loss and turned around and played Saint Leo's super exciting match and we were able to win at threes and and ones and then we were playing the twos match for the match. We lost to the fours and fives with one at the ones and threes so it's two two final set between Lauren Wheat with Lauren Lever and Katie Leffridge and the crowd is all circled around the court and Katie and Lauren came through and won 15 eight which gave us our fifth win and so we're five and three the three matches we lost were all three to two so we're all encouraged and really feel like we're doing the right things yeah certainly sounds like a lot of exciting matches and sort of things break your way you know you might have been six and two seven or one the flip side of that is break the wrong way right could have been two or you know two and six three and five something like that but um you know obviously it builds it builds your experience being in those three set matches being those matches that come down the wire as you go on and obviously you have national small college championships a couple weeks that you're getting ready for yeah we are number threes Darian Hillman and Jesse Freeman were eight no uh and they had they went three sets at least three or four times yeah our ones went five and three our twos uh went five and three I mentioned them our ones Anika and Jang and our twos Katie and Lauren and our fours uh Julie Knightwine and Victoria Prokic won five and three yeah and really a big one against Weber was at our five Sarah Rigen and Katie McGuire they went three and five but they won a couple of matches went three and so that was a big one against Weber to get to come into um the ones twos and threes already have in two wins yeah yeah absolutely um so overall sounds like a successful trip now you've got a couple weeks off um you know hopefully by next week we will get back outside and like I said start getting ready head back to Florida for the small college championships which I know is always exciting well they're you know we got conditioning with mc they'd rather play rather be on the uh on the sand we're snow covered right now but uh thankfully this happened after the Florida trip I would have been very upset had it been happened before the Florida trip because we wouldn't have gotten much time on the sand but uh so we'll be okay I think what I think by next Monday we'll be out there we'll have two solid weeks to get ready and challenge and some of those ones twos threes fours and fives may change a little bit as we challenge each other before we go down to uh Florida for the small college national championship all right coach well um enjoy the quote unquote little bit of a break you've got until the next obviously you get conditioning practice but um you know enjoy getting ready for that we'll talk to you next week all right thanks Greg all right for coach Dave Trumbo I'm Greg Royce this has been the Dave Trumbo show
