The Gators were hosting their first home game of the season against the Roseau Rams on September 6th. The Rams brought a big fan section which made the games even more intense. The Gators were not able to pull off a full match win. Set one went to Roseau as they won 25-19, set two also went to Roseau 25-19, the Gators took set three 25-23, and Roseau took the fourth set to win the match 25-15. Sets one and two the Gators stuck with the Rams and were going hard after the ball with the “nothing hits the floor” attitude. The Gators found out that when their serve receive passing is on, they can do big things on offense. They battled through but could not pull off a win for the first two sets. In set three the Gators came out firing leaving no doubt that they were going to push a fourth set. Their passing was more consistent benefiting in more kills on their side. There was some net errors and missed serves that hurt the Gators on their side, but they worked that much harder to pull off a win in set three. Before the fourth set was about start all the girls looked at each other and said, “We WANT a fifth game!” The Gators came into the set with lots of fire and determination. They battled hard but once the momentum was going towards Roseau the Gators were unable to find a way out of it. Many inconsistent passes, net errors, and missed serves hurt the Gators throughout the night. Gator’s head coach Stacy Dahl stated, “The Gators had moments of smart play, but they need to eliminate errors, find consistency, and disrupt opponent’s runs.” They look to take those mistakes and improve on them for the next game the Freeze on September 8th. The Gators were led in attacks by Katie Langaas 10, Tori Mekash 8 and Kate Howell 7. Shanyce Bishop had 17 assists and Vanessa Burkel with 11. Courtney Kirkeide led the Gators with 3 blocks and Alyssa Wahl with one. There were three aces for the Gators coming from Tori Mekash with 2 and Shanyce Bishop with 1. Come to the Swamp and show your support as they host the Northern Freeze! Goooo Gators!!
