It's volleyball time! Home opener! Against Yale - who were wonderfully scrappy, and wouldn't let it go. In the end, we won what should have been an easy match for us 3-2. It's going to be a long season.
And now this post gets even more parochial ... The game was notable not for our performance, but for the appearance of our new President, Carol Folt. I don't recollect ever seeing Max Nikias at a WVB game, but President Folt stayed until the very end. Even more encouragingly, she told me (for yes, of course I went and (re)introduced myself - that she loves women's sports (which seems to be true). And after a half-hearted attempt to be loyal, she admitted that we weren't playing well ...
I can't face two games tomorrow if we're playing like this. I'll trust them to beat Howard in the morning. Then back tomorrow evening for Villanova - who beat Yale 3-1 earlier in the day. We - unlike Yale - didn't even have the excuse of having played 4 sets already today ...
