UWF VOLLEYBALL  2010
9-27   UWF 3, Florida Southern 2

Everyone has played volleyball.  We played it in gym class—can it really be that long ago?  I think Matthew Brady photographed our games.  Volleyball was so simple.  You hit the ball back and forth until someone miss-hit the ball.  Yawn.  If that's your experience with volleyball, you're in for a pleasant surprise.  The modern game is one of strategy and  athleticism.  It's fast-paced and exciting. Players dive and leap.  They throw themselves in the way of a speeding ball and, as you'd expect, they endure occasional pain and injury.

I took about 150 photos of the UWF victory over highly ranked Florida Southern.  I've uploaded a sample. 



















































Obviously, there are many aspects to the game.  It appears that the glory and glamour would be at (read: above) the net.  That part is certainly exciting.  However, it is also quite clear that games are also won and lost at serving, setting up, and returning the powerful smashes from the opponent.  The skill and agility of these players is also exciting to watch.
