Here are a couple of paragraphs from the UVSC website posted after tonights game against Boise State. I'm sad to say I wasn't able to be there myself.

BOISE, Idaho – The Utah Valley State volleyball team defeated the Boise State Broncos Tuesday night in an intense four-game match, 30-23, 18-30, 30-26, 33-31, at Bronco Gym. The Wolverines improve to 1-2 on the season and own an overall 3-0 series record over BSU. “It was absolutely a great effort by the girls,” said head coach Sam Atoa. “It was good to see them come together and execute our game plan. They [ Boise State] changed some things on us and it didn’t faze our girls.”

Outside hitters, Anne Olsen and Camie Manwill notched double-digit kill numbers, both finishing the night with season-highs. Olsen tallied 14, while Manwill added 12. Middle blockers Jessica Endres and Stephanie McFarland also added some fire power, with 9 and 7 kills respectively, and outside hitter Larissa Laycock chipped in 8 kills.

The defensive end was solid as well, with Maegan Hoyt finishing with 17 digs. Manwill added 8 digs, while freshman Bethany Carron and Olsen added 5 apiece.

The writing above was posted tonight by a reporter for UVSC. I'm way proud of how Anne is playing. Anne has had 5 service aces for the three matches. She has a really good jump serve and jump served to win the match tonight. This is big because the score was 32-31 and she jump served with that kind of pressure and executed like she knows how to do. It's fun to be in the crowd and here the ooo's and aaahhh's when she jump serves. They play this coming Friday and Saturday in Ogden in the Weber State tournament. It should be fun as it always is.

Well, I wasn't at the Boise game because I was on my way back from another California trip. I was able to go up to Yosemite for one of the days. It is really a beautiful place. I didn't get any pictures this weekend. But I drove through Yosemite last weekend on my way back to Utah and snapped a couple of pictures.

Mike, I hope you have arrived in Korea safely and I look forward to blogs from there. I also hope the whole family is adjusting well after your departure. I have appreciated your allowing me to use your steam sign in so I could play Half Life 2.

'Till next time, take care.
