Well, there were more people in the stands last night. With the brazilians beating on their drums it seemed some times more support for them but then we get a loud USA roar. It was a great environment in which to play. Unfortunately we did not win. We lost in four sets. We had a lot of good plays and long rallies but in the end Brazil played just a bit better. Next up Puerto Rico for third place. That is the best we can finish at this point so we will do our best to end on a high note.

GO USA!
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY AMERICA!

After five days of competition we finished first in our pool and was granted a bye to the semi-finals to be played on Friday. It have been really fun and exciting to compete in the first tournament of the quad. It has been a great start so far with a new coach, new players, new systems and on and on. Today we had a break away from competition however we trained today but had the aftenoon to visit with the family. It rained the whole afternoon. Tomorrow, we will train and scout the other teams. Can’t wait to get started though some times morning comes too quickly.

Stay tuned!
GO USA
