As if the French Open and NBA Finals aren't riveting enough, the Lafayette-Moraga Youth Association's sixth grade girls volleyball tournament is through its second round to much acclaim. Our "Nebraska Cornhuskers" dispatched the "Texas Longhorns" two games to none, after losing to them earlier in the season. The Huskers jumped out to an early lead as the Horns struggled to return serves, but the game tightened up as their best servers scored a series of unanswered points. Nebraska managed enough side outs to close out the first game, then jumped to a 9-1 lead in the second game behind the powerful serves of our two best players. Texas had no answer for Nebraska's serves and teamwork (Kelly set up our best player for a spike midway through the game, and scored several service points of her own), and Nebraska finished off the second game in a rout.
Nebraska now faces the winner of the "Illinois"-"Stanford" match. Illinois is skilled, very well coached and was undefeated for the season. Nebraska beat Illinois in a scrimmage game, however. Nebraska has already beaten Stanford in a regular season game. The final match will be on Saturday; stay tuned for the game recap.
