Weekend wrap up-volleyball

What a tough emotional ride for the girls so far.
Let's just start in the summer time, well just before school was out.
Their asst. coach Phil McDaniel left for Drake, but that was expected, but still prob. hurt.
Then a shocker when Andrew Palileo left for Washington State. What a crappy time to leave, in freaking spring! Then Emily Rooney, perhaps the best player on the team, then Annie Adams left and what's left?
The girls won their first match, and new head coach Nana Allison-Brewer was very happy. Then the Jacks played tough, tough teams and lost a school-record 12 matches in a row. You talk about tough times!
Then the Jacks did a 18- and won 6 matches in a row, during the streak it seemed a Summit League Tourney spot was a given(They had over a whole match over any team for the fourth and final spot).
Then the Jacks hit the road. They took the long bus ride to Tulsa to take on Oral Roberts. Oral Roberts creamed the Jacks at the wide open Aerobics Center(why did my font change?) at Oral Roberts(It is fun to type that!

so this is a lot better! SDSU then lost to NDSU at home and got swept. I heard Ohio took it hard(she cried). Poor girl.
This friday's game against IUPUI is really important for the girl's its at Indiana so the Jungle may give IUPUI the adv.

Last time out, the Jacks beat IUPUI in five sets. But that was at Frost, where the Jacks are 5-3 so far this year. On the road SDSU is 2-11 so far.
The Collegian Blog well be giving updates on friday about the vball matchup.

Weekend wrap up-Football and Soccer

hello, this is Ariy-El Boynton and sorry for being away for so while, we're trying to get the best weekly paper we can, so without further delay, heres what happened in SDSU athletics this weekend:
The soccer team failed this weekend to win at Oakland. Too bad for the seniors on SDSU. The Farrell twins were at Frost Arena after the NDSU, win. I think it was the twin that scored(Kellyn) on NDSU. They were happy to get the win at NDSU and noted they had a lot of soccer left to play. Oakland beat them, 2-0.
The Jacks then went to Michigan State and tied the Spatans, 1-1. MSU has not lost at home all year, the Jacks were the only team to force the Spartans to less than a win at the old State Field.
With some time now in bewteen the Summit League championships at Western Illinois, one would wonder how much practice Lang W. gives his girls, or does he try to simulate real game situations?
On to football, the Jacks played a bad and I mean bad Indiana State squad. At the press game, most of the players from ISU had their heads up, well most of the time. Its tough when you know back in your mind, you'll never win a game this season? How do you go to practice and try your hardest every day?
A little tid bit, ISU's head coach Trent Mills, ex-boss at Wash. and Norte Dame was Tyrone Willingham. Bewteen the two of them, they have zero wins. Think they ever get on the phone with each other and just say "keep going" or "this is the week"! Prob. night, they both got familes to take over and one or both should be looking for a job next year.
The Jacks played good enough for a win, Duh! It wasn't a blowout in the first half, because ISU didnt turn the ball over. The Jacks are playing good football right now, despite losing two out of their last three. That defenese sure is good, the lb's and line are impressive.
Jimmy Rogers is the man. That No.3 he wears makes offenese not want to come to the line of scrimmage, sometimes. I expect a paper will do a feature on him... Check:

No one told me about Adam V., on the sidelines so I have no sorry about him, sorry about that.
Next up for the Jacks is Missouri State, its a winable game but the Jacks must have focus, I think they will.
By the way if you ever get a chance to come to Terre Haute, don't go. I would take my chances at Gary, Fort Wayne or Flint, Mich. Don't say I didn't warn you.
