Away Game vs College of Alameda 10/29/2010 Game 1

Had a nice drive down to the island of Alameda.  Brings back lots of memories of VB Tournaments played here on the island over the years at the old Naval Air Station facilities.  We should do fine tonight, Alameda didn't show us a lot when they came to see us, but then neither did Laney, but we struggled against them the other night in Oakland.  Hopefully we've learned that lesson and will stay focused, put the foot on the gas and don't let up tonight.  I saw the current rankings today and it appears that Napa beat Solano in their first match, so if they can do it again, we still have a shot at the playoffs.  Of course that means that we have to beat Solano when they come to our house and beat them by more than they beat us at their place.  Doable, but it will take some work.  We should know late next week.

Game 1:  Guess we won the coin toss and will start off with the serve.  Taylor to the line.  K9 starts things off with a kill, 1-0.  Ace by Taylor and it's 2-0.  Brit joins the fun, 3-0.  We let one fall in the middle, 3-1.  Brit puts one in the net, 3-2.  Alameda serves long, 4-2 with K9 to serve.  Alameda hammers one down, 4-3.  Ace by Alameda on a net dribble, 4-4.  They serve out, 5-4 with Megan to serve.  A bad pass and it's 5-5.  Another net serve by Alameda sends Judy to the line at 6-5.  Taylor gets a dink from an overpass to go, 7-5.  They call us in the net, 7-6.  Net serve, 8-6 with Alisha to the line.  We play to short on D and they get one down deep, 8-7.  Alameda in the net, 9-7 with Hailey to serve.  Ace by Hailey, 10-7.  Alameda in the net again, 11-7.  K9 rips one down line, 12-7 and the Cougars want a timeout to talk it over.  Hailey still serving.  Alameda hits out, 13-7.  K9 gets another one down line, 14-7.  Hailey serves wide, 14-8.  Officials timeout to look at something in the books.  Not sure what's wrong.  Alameda coach is trying to sub out her middle and she sure is barking at her.  Not sure what the problem is.  Double call on Alameda, 15-8 with Taylor to the line.  Ace by Taylor, 16-8.  Megan tries one that goes wide, 16-9.  K9 gets one down the line from the right side, 17-9 with K9 to the service line.  Timeout Alameda.  Long serve, but it was close to line, 17-10.  Another net call on Alameda, 18-10 with Megan to the line.  Ace by Megan, 19-10.  Cougars put one in the net, 20-10.  Another Ace, 21-10.  Alisha gets blocked, 21-11.  Hammertime gets it right back, 22-11 with Judy to serve.  Alameda puts it in the net, 23-11.  Hailey slaps another one down, 24-11.  We send a free ball out?, 24-12.  Alisha gets a tip to go from the right side, 25-12 and a Yuba win.
