Volleyball takes Invitational

There was a loud stomp from the left side, and one from the right side. Suddenly we see Rose -Hulman Institute of Technology coming out from the sides. A plethora of fans had come without shirts and having huge smiles showing of their pride for Rose-Hulman and the girls’ volleyball team. For every point the girls scored, there was a drop of sweat and a cheer exchanged.

It was quite an intense two days. The girls played like they have known each other since the sandbox. As sophomore physics major Samantha Gregory puts it, “Our team chemistry is like a bond between hydrogen and oxygen.”

The girls had played a total of four games throughout the intense Invitational. They started off in fine fashion against McMurray College (Illinois) by sweeping them like dust in three games. Furthermore, their second game was played with finesse sweeping Dominican (Illinois) in three games as well.

Amanda Jevons, a freshman chemical engineering major, had her take on the crowd, “The crowd was amazing, and it helped us get pumped for every point throughout out the game.” She said her heart goes out to all the volleyball fans at Rose-Hulman. Saturday’s matches had the same level of intensity; however the girls suffered their first loss to Louis and Clark (Illinois). On the other hand, the girls showed resilience after Louis and Clark by taking care of business against Eureka (Illinois). Overall, everyone who attended the invitational had a great time. Watch as the girls volleyball team travels to Chicago for their next match!
