Can Only Go Up

The Ohio Northern University men’s club volleyball team had their first tournament this weekend at Kent State University.

In the past the men’s club team has been very successful and was very talented with a lot of veteran talent. This year however was a little different. In our pool there were four other teams; two darn good teams and two ok teams. We went 1-3 in pool play which was disappointing, especially in comparison to the fact the team won our first two tournaments, but we are a young team with great potential.

This year’s team consists of three players who have never played organized volleyball before, two freshmen who played a little in high school, two players who only have one year experienced, and four players who are season veterans.

Needless to say we’re a young team. But even though we have youth we also have so much potential talent that just needs some experience.

Now, while our record did not particular show any positives, we did play well and this tournament was a good bench mark for seeing what we need to improve upon.

So even though we were disappointed in the outcome, we felt positive about our performance because of the good things we saw.

Excited for the future,

Jake
