On The Record With Megan Wong, Part III

We fly high no lie you know this, ballin!!! Our team is still going strong, beating every team that comes our way. We had an amazing week, first beating Notre Dame de Namur early in the week on Tuesday then beating the #15 ranked team, Cal State LA, and Saturday beating Cal State Dominguez Hills. This is the best start for the women’s volleyball team here at Sonoma State University in school history.

Our team is unbeatable right now. With setter junior Lindsay Brown out for Tuesday's game and knowing that the big match against the Golden Eagles was going to be a tough fight, she did all she could do to get her ankle healed for Thursday night's game. By Wednesday night at practice she looked as good as new and was ready to take on CSULA and so were the rest of us. That night our team walked into the gym ready to dominate. We are the underdogs!!! We surprisingly took LA in 3 straight games. It was a rather slow and dull game, but we came out on top.

Despite the fact that Coach Bear used 9 out of the 18 girls on the team during Thursday night’s game, all of us were happy with the win. All sports have to deal with politics and coaches favorites. It’s just the way the sports life is as an athlete. There are the starters and the bench warmers or also known as the 1st string and 2nd string players, but the ones who don’t play much complain about playing time and I figure, if a team is doing well with the people on the court or field, why ruin the flow of everything. Volleyball, along with all other sports, is a team sport and we need to do what is best for the team, keep the chemistry going.

Saturday was a different story. We were ready for a quick 3 games so we could send the Toros home early back to the LA County. We weren't joking either because we took care of business and got the job done. Coach Bear, shockingly, played every single one of us eligible players Saturday night against CSULA. It was a fun and exciting night for all of us. Not only did we all get playing time, but we all did well and worked as a team to make our record to 11-1!!!!

Our upcoming games will all be held at our home gym starting at 7pm on Wednesday vs. Academy of Art, Friday vs. SF State and Saturday vs. Monterey Bay. We are not planning on stopping our winning streak just yet!!!
