Taylor Richard & Katie Gamsky
When we played the Slovenians on Friday, it was a good opportunity to see how our competition was going to look like in Croatia. Our first game started off slow and all of us were a bit nervous, but afer the nerves went away, we came together as a team and brought the intensity to the court. Most of us weren't expecting the big block but we adjusted and eventually got some great kills. Unfortunately the game was close and we lost 22-25. The second game ended in the same score but the third game had a different outcome. WE WON!!! We were communicating and acting as if we had been playing together for longer then we have. Obviously they had some great hits, but our defense was on top of their game. The end score was 25-23 and we all thought it was funny when the Slovenian coach was yelling because we had no idea what he was saying. Our fourth game ended 23-25. After leaving the gym, we had an awkward ride home because we were mad at Cory and no one would speak to him. He announced to us that he wanted us to win but when the time came, he was on the other side cheering for them. As the day went on, we formed stronger bonds with the Slovenian team and they showed us around the city. All together it was a great day and an amazing experience except for the losing part.
