The Augsburg Volleyball team traveled down to St.Olaf and Carleton this past weekend for our first match and tournament. Friday nights game way against Buena Vista. The Auggies won in 4 games to start the season out on a positive note! We then played 2 more teams on Saturday. First we faced Martin Luther which we had a slow start and lost the first game but pulled of the next 3 to take the match. Our final competetor was Crown College who we swept in 3! It was an all around good weekend and we hope to continue the success in Wednesday’s matches 3:00p.m. and 7:00p.m. It will be the Auggies first home games so come support the team!! Hope to see you there!

Inner-Squad Scrimmage!!

Today is the day we have been waiting for all preseason! The inner-squad scrimmage and pot-luck! We have been working hard for the past week and a half thinking and doing nothing but volleyball. Today we get to show our families and friends are hard work has paid off. After our reception we head out on our 2 day retreat in Brainerd. We will be spending quality time together, doing fun activities, goal setting, and resting. We only have 5 days til our first game against Buena Vista Friday at St. Olaf. We are all very excited!

Also to updated you if you haven’t heard from our MIAC scrimmage we played very well and beat both Hamline and Macalaster. We unfortunatly lost in 3 to Bethel but it will give us a little more fire for when we see them in the regular season! It’s looking to be a good year for Auggie Volleyball.

Wow I Haven’t Updated You Guys In a While!!!

I would like to apologize for the long break I took from updating the blog. Let me catch you up if you haven’t heard. We finished off our summer league with our best finish yet! We won Bethel League!! If you couldn’t be there to see us fight for the top let me tell you it was no less intense as our regular season matches that always seem to go to 5 games… lol But after our 7 hour tournament we ended up taking first!

We started our pre-season this last Thursday the 20th. The last few days have been full of team bonding and hard work on the court. We have had a few injures already but we are hoping that our trainer Becky will get them going soon enough! But other than that our pre-season is looking good. We’ve got some big hitters, height and great defense. I’m very excited!

Wednesday is our first scrimmage we will be seeing Mac, Bethel, Hamline, and Wisconsin Superior. We are all excited to compete and see how we come together in an actual game situation. There will be some seating around the gym so parents and friends are more than welcome to come watch and support! The games go from 10:30 to 3:00 so we hope to see you there!!

Thank you for all your love and support the whole team truly appreciates it!!

Sunday was the kick off to our summer league. We play Sundays at Bethel against other MIAC summer teams and a few other colleges and groups of people. It is a fun and competitive league where we get the opportunity to play together during the summer and bond with our new freshmen. Sunday June 7th we played St. Thomas and Bethel. Augsburg came out on top 2-0 for the day! It was a great start to the summer and if we keep competing and working hard we should do well. If anyone is interested in coming to watch I will keep you posted on our up coming games because we always welcome a crowd!!
