 Hi, this is Kristen Brooks live on the Green Carpet at the Stevenson Gala 2018 here with Nate Reynolds of the men's volleyball team Nate Thanks for being here. Thanks for having me. So Nate actually was a co-rookie of the year this year So freshman and Nate, what was your freshman season like? Um, I have to say the freshman season first year was being it was really good. I loved it a lot Had great teammates great coaching staff. We did we had a really good season all around won the Mac That was that was great and then the NCAA tournament too being in that was also really really fun And it was the inaugural season for the Mac for men's volleyball, correct? Correct So was it new going in there and having to learn new opponents every single game? You didn't really have a whole scouting report on everyone. Um, I Yes, it was new, but we did get a scouting report every game Okay, so the coaches knew because some of the teams we play in the Mac had a team last year Okay, so they knew who they were but there were some new teams in the Mac this year. Awesome. Well, congratulations on that win Thank you Is there a game throughout this season that really sticks out to you as even a game that the team together pulled together? Or you specifically had a great game? um, I want to say The game against number three ranked Marymount that was that was a great game when we beat them in four we all Just came out played together Just played really good volleyball. Absolutely. How would you describe the dynamic of your team? um in the beginning of the year, I'd say we were not like We just didn't figure each other out like we all got along we just didn't know Didn't know each other well how to set each other But once once the season progressed we each got to know each other well how we played together just developed good chemistry That's awesome. I mean especially if you're hitting your stride at the end of the season. That's great Yes, we did and so lastly a freshman season. Is there anyone you want to give a shout out to somebody? That's impacted your freshman year or time at stephenson. Um, I want to give a shout out to my parents They they helped me a lot get get me here at stephenson I also want to give a shout out to my high school coach because ryan mcdowell He actually went here and played volleyball here.
