RALEIGH, N.C. Hello Wolfpack volleyball enthusiasts.
So it has been another two weeks of action-packed fun for us. Since I've last blogged, we had a tough weekend, facing Wake Forest and Duke and ending with two losses. However, we were able to take a strong lesson from those matches. We're not perfect, but we are striving for excellence.
With that in mind, we dug in for another week of practice. While those workouts are task-oriented and drill-filled, they brought us one step closer to the excellence we aim to achieve.
This past weekend, we faced Virginia Tech and University of Virginia. Virginia Tech proved to be a tough, tenacious competitor in a five-set nail-biter that handed us a tough defeat. We didn't let that set aside our overall goals. The next day, we beat Virginia, a win that showcased our improvement and our ability to handle the mental battles that come with being well into our ACC season.
This week of play brings another tough mental battle. Instead of the usual two matches a week, we face three this week. With the close loss to UNC last night, it will take strong mental toughness to prepare for the rest of week while also handling our school work.
We continue to work hard as we represent NC State. This weekend, we will travel to FSU and Miami. Thanks for your continuing support.
