Not so sweet start to the second half

We started the 2009 year with an away match against Gentofte (7-3). During an exhibition match on Thursday Jan. 8th against Marienlyst, Scott pulled a muscle in his leg and could not play in the match against Gentofte. This was a chance for Brage to fill the setting role. We got out to a pretty good start and won the first set 25-20 with some aggressive serving and limiting our errors. The second set saw Gentofte raise their level of play and a few inconsistencies on our side attackign the ball either gave them too many transition opportunities or we just gave them points with errors. The next set followed in the same kind of way with us continually giving away too many points. The 4th set we started to play more consisten side out volleyball with each team trading points. A block at 24-23 for them sealed the game however.
The loss puts us at 5-5 and tied for the 4th and final playoff spot. Our team passing has gotten a lot better but we need to start being more effective on offense. Oh well, we get to play another day!
