I thought BRLD did a really nice job of stepping up their play despite the loss. Perhaps the Wolverine players read my last post because a lot of different players stepped up their game for BRLD. That's something the Wolverines will need to continue.
BRLD (6-10) hosts Scribner-Snyder (4-3) Tuesday night in a match that will be carried on 107.9 the Bull.
The Trojans lost 3-0 at home to Clarkson/Leigh this past Tuesday night.
Scribner-Snyder has Kaylee and Nicole Boyle otherwise they are pretty young.
The Wolverines have to come out and be ready to smash Tuesday night.
BRLD has to play the way they did on Saturday, and earn a sweep of the Trojans.
Gatzemeyer has to do her thing, and Wortman, Morgan Bonneau, Larsen, Simonsen, Bacon, Tiahna Bonneau, and Ahlers must have a repeat of Saturday's efforts.
The Wolverines have to play with the same intensity, passion, and focus that they did on Saturday.
If BRLD plays that way they're going to get somewhere this season.
I think the Wolverines know what sort of level they need to play at to be successful. Now it's a matter of playing at that level consistently and having success.
I feel BRLD raised their level of play on Saturday.
The Wolverines could very well find themselves around the .500 mark after next week.
BRLD should be able to win four out of their next five matches for sure, and maybe even knock off Howells-Dodge.
I feel the Wolverines were an average team before Saturday, but now I think BRLD is above average.
The Wolverines still have a little ways to go, but I feel they made a lot of strides on Saturday.
I look for BRLD to build off what they did on Saturday, and turn in a solid performance Tuesday night.
I look for the Wolverines to sweep this match, and pick up right where they left off on Saturday.
BRLD was playing Class B and Class C-1 teams on Saturday....now they get a D-2 opponent, so it should be smooth sailing for the Wolverines if they play the way they did on Saturday.
BRLD can't play down to their competition though. That will get you every time.
Listen to Tuesday night's match on 107.9 the Bull at 7:30 with Sports Director Tom McMahon on the call.
