Eagles Defeat Warriors

The TC Lady Eagles improved to 2 wins and no losses as they came from behind to shock a confident Orestimba Warrior team.  The Eagles flew out to a first game victory and then fell in the next two games, being soundly routed in the second game and then dropping far behind in the third game before seeing a valiant comeback fall short.  After the second game the long time official, Bill Pickle, predicted a 5 game match but when the girls fell behind 1-2 after the 3rd game I had my doubts.  I am happy to say Bill was right on as the girls showed what they were made of in the final two games.  Game four was back and forth and ended in a 27-25 TC victory.  The final game, a 15 point game, was all TC.

Kills:  Rebekah M (11), Kaisa S (8) and Molly F (6)

JV Plays Well Against Orestimba

The JV continued to impress the fans with a hard fought loss to the Orestimba Warriors.

Eagles Break the Lancers

The Turlock Christian Lady Eagles opened their 2010 campaign in Manteca on Friday night against the East Union Lancers.  The battle of the "red, white, and blues" was nothing but the blues for the Lady Lancers as TC won the match 3-0 (25-17, 25-18, 25-19).   The offense was led by Molly Farrar as she passed out 14 assists, many going to Rebekah Muller who led the team with 9 kills.  Rebekah also had a team leading 8 digs.  Kaisa Spycher had an outstanding game with several kills from her off hand spot (for a right handed hitter this is the right side of the net) and had 2 blocks.  Kara Gabrielson was the big weapon from the service line with 6 aces.  All the girls contributed to the victory.  Molly Zuhlke had several back row attacks, Paige Ulrich played well all the way around, and Cheyenne Perry had excellent plays on and off the net. We were introduced to this year's libero as Arin Morelli did a very good job across the back.

The team was exciting to watch with some big hits (Molly F, Kaisa, Molly Z., and Rebekah), great serves (Kara, Rebekah, Molly Z., and Kaisa had serves that made the Lancers look bad), and a ton of energy.  There seems to be a "vib" with the entire team that says, "We are family".  I know I am excited:-)

JV Plays Well

The Eaglettes look like a team with a lot of potential, despite falling to the Lancers in two.  The team came out for the second game and led by a score of  21-18, but the Lancers put on a run and came back to win.  We are looking forward to many exciting games as the season progresses.

Need photos:  If you take photos at the games I would love to use them in the blog.  If you know how to attach things to e-mail that is one way to get them to me.  If you have them on a camera disk you can give them to me and I can transfer the pictures to my computer and return the disk at the next game.
