Once again we traveled to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to compete at the Cornhusker Clash. We had a great time and already can’t wait for next year! This tournament taught us a lot about ourselves and our capabilities.
Rookies:
All of our rookies that came along to this tournament got more great experience with all aspects of the game. Throughout the tournament, they had great communication and quickly picked up the throwing rotation to keep everyone from getting worn out too fast. There were a lot of successful throws being made and good resets to help out the rest of the team. Many attempts for catches were made and although did not always go as planned, we are happy to see the rookies know that they are capable of great things.
Veterans:
Our vets played well throughout the day. For most of the points we worked together, communicated and got off lots of successful team throws getting us out after out. A few issues we had though, were throwing without blockers and throwing without reason or without being called to throw. We plan to learn from our mistakes and focus on them during practice!
Now let’s here from some of our players.
Co-Captain Ben Breidenbach: “Everyone played as individuals and not as a team, that’s why we lost. Last year we had time to get to know one another’s tendencies and play style, so we played much more synchronized. We have time to correct this as it is still early in the season.”
Rookie Chloe Kaderabek: “I think UNL was a great first experience. I liked that the rookies got a ton of play time, so I felt like I learned a lot. I also enjoyed the help I received from my teammates and other players as well.”
Rookie Logan VanCamp: “It was fun! It was very helpful to get the rookies a lot of minutes and really helped with our confidence going into the next tournament.”
We had a great time at the Cornhusker Clash and can’t wait for next year!
