Quarterfinals, Part II

Well, unfortunately we were unsuccessful in our attempts to defeat Gödöllő tonight, losing in 4 again...18-25, 25-21, 18-25, 24-26. The scores were much closer and we played better, but made a lot of mental mistakes and unforced errors when we couldn't afford to. We had many long rallys and put forth a great effort out on defensive plays. Anyways, we will most likely play MAV from Székesfehérvár in our next round of match play. Matches for the consolation bracket (5th-8th) begin Wednesday, March 16 and then Saturday, March 19; you only must win 2 to advance. If we have to play a 3rd, it will be Tuesday, March 22. Practice will resume on Monday.

In other news, its still snowing here--apparently that is not the normal weather pattern for this time of year, despite common misconception. Rumor has it that temperature should be warming up dramatically in the next week or so...something this Florida girl can only hope to be true.
