Peru State Match

Hello there!

Just getting home from Peru, Nebraska. First of all, just want to send a great THANK YOU for the fans that came out to the game tonight. It's over an hour drive and it was not the best of weather, but you bet the Flame Fans were there & cheering louder than EVER!

Tonight's match up was against your CSM Flames and Peru State. Both ranked in the top 4 of the MCAC conference. Getting to an impressive start, the Flames lost the first game 22-25. The CSM girls knew they had more to offer, though. That attitude carried into the next game and a score of 28-26 FLAMES! Aggressive serving, going on mini-runs and shutting down their big hitters were keys in that game. Games 3 and 4 seemed to slip away from CSM, unfortunately.

We continue to learn more and more what it means to play as a team and how critical communication is, specifically when we, as a team, aren't playing at the best we know we should be playing. We play this weekend in Kansas, little over five hours away from home against Central Christian College. The girls are ready to earn the respect they deserve in this conference & are looking forward to a win this weekend. Playing together & the intensity that every player has to offer is what will make that win happen Saturday afternoon.

Keep posted, Flame Fans!
