Hey Fans!
Day #2 at the OCU tournament went pretty well for the flames. After taking awhile to wake up and play, Wiley took a game from the flames in the morning. After this game we regrouped, refocused and checked out of our hotel. After a quick lunch the Flames were headed back to the gym to take on Huston! And that we did! In a quick three game set, the Flames dominated Huston taking their record to 2-3!
Overall, it was a great weekend in Oklahoma. We learned some more things about eachother and new things that we can improve on.
Tomorrow we take on the Bulldogs of Concordia University at 7:00 in Seward, NE.
Come support your Flames!

Oklahoma City Classic
Hey all you Flaming Fans!
We had a good day of competition in Oklahoma. We played OCU for our first match of the day. We lost in three sets, but we fought hard in all of them. The flames are still learning to play together as a team and we see improvement in every match we play. We have a great bunch of girls who love to play volleyball so it should not take us long to find our groove and learn how to play with eachother like the great team we all know we are going to be!
In our second match we played Lyons. We beat them in a grueling four sets. We won the first two sets. And even thought we fought hard, we couldn't pull off the third set of the game. The fourth set we came out with some of that flaming energy we all love and put Lyons away.
It was a hard day, but we all learned a lot about playing with eachother. We are looking forward to playing the next two games tomorrow in Oklahoma, and hopefully adding two more wins onto our record!!
We'll keep you posted! GO FLAMES!!

Dana College 8/25
Hello CSM Flames Fans!!!
First of all, thank you to all who came out to Blair, NE last night to watch your very own Flames face Dana College. The whole team very much appreciates all of your support and enthusiasm!!
Being the first match of the season the Flames were as excited as ever. Working very hard during three a days for two weeks we were all more than ready to play a game rather than practice.
Between the adrenaline rushes and all the nerves the Flames won the first set of the match 25-21, we did a lot of great things, and some amazing kills and awesome serves. Becoming a little to comfortable with ourselves the next sets went: 25-27, 16-25, 25-19 ending up going into a fifth set. Even though everyone worked their hardest and wanted the win really bad, Dana still pulled threw to win the game, defeating the Flames 11-15.
After a long morning practice this morning, the Flames know what they need to do to improve for their next match. A lot more hard work, trust, and drive is going to help us do great this weekend where we adventure to Oklahoma City, OK for the Oklahoma City Classic. This tournament will be a perfect time to show others how hard we've worked so far and what we have learned from our first match!!!
Thank you again to those of you who made the trip!! Check back soon to see how the Flames are doing!!

NEW BEGINNINGS!!!
WELCOME TO A NEW YEAR CSM FANS!!! The 2009 volleyball team is underway with a new and exciting season!!!
This year we have 6 new incoming players: Jr. transfer from Wayne State Erin Dostal, Jr. transfer from Concordia College Kristen Czapla, and freshmen Ashley Kulwicki, Cortney Czapla, Jessie Clark, and Jess Zimmerman - to join our returning players: Sr. Cara Fleischman, Jrs. Sam Sandiland and Krysta Peers, and Sophs. Stacie Cornwell, Dani Cote, Kirsten Placzek, and Kristen Weigum.
We also have two new coaches on staff: assistant coach Tati and student assistant coachs Kristen and Emilie.
Pre-season started August 10th and the girls were ready to play! We've practiced new things, showed incoming players old routines, and much much more. We've had fun with coming together during swim workouts and even the dreaded mile at 7am ;)
On Monday, August 17th the team headed out to the middle of a cornfield in Omaha to participate in a ropes course put on by Boys Town. The girls and the coaches learned many team oriented lessons - ones that we will take into every practice and game. The girls had fun, got scraped up, fought off the ants, and even learned new ways to play elbow tag - but most of all LAUGHED!!! It was a great team bonding experience. Look for pictures soon!!
Check back soon! Keep the Flames in your thoughts as we finish out our pre-season...and we look forward to seeing you at our first game! Come make the trip out to Dana College to support your flames as they take on the Vikings on their home court...August 25th at 7pm!! Hope to see you there :)
