Saturday 10/1 Haverford Tournament 8:00AM
Starting the day against the talented team from Villa Maria, NORTH struggled
in the 1st game and let the 2nd game get away from them.
They showed they can play with Villa who is Ranked #13 in the state, but need to
be at their best to compete at this level. NORTH followed up the Villa games
with some very inconsistent play against Ridley. It is matches like this one
against Ridley that NORTH should win.
The 3rd match of the day against Masterman saw NORTH blow them away easily on
Game # 1 , but NORTH looked very sloppy in Game #2, allowing Masterman to
somehow come away victorious. After such a sloppy match, NORTH came out against
a very talented Parkland team and took game #1 with some great play,only to
struggle once again in Game #2 to drop a close game. Overall, going 3-5 in Pool
play, NORTH showed flashes of great volleyball, but needs to stay at the top of
their game through the day and can not continue to play down to teams they
should be beating easily. This is a great week to re-group as the next game is
not until Friday against Souderton. I am sure they will be looking to avenge
their loss earlier this year. NORTH needs to have a great week of practice and
come out ready for a battle against Souderton.
