Aces defeat Leathernecks, 3-2

 Rachel Tam was named the Most Valuable Player while Kerra Cornist and Gabriela dos Santos earned All-Tournament Team accolades as the University of Evansville volleyball team finished off a perfect weekend with a 3-2 win over Western Illinois in the finale of the Leatherneck Invitational.

Tam reset her career mark with 29 kills to lead all players.  Mildrelis Rodirugez notched 14 while Kerra Cornist checked in with 10.  Gabriela dos Santos clinched her spot on the All-Tournament Team with 26 digs while Rodriguez notched 16.  Cecila Thon continued her strong weekend of play, leading the team in assists for the third match in a row, tallying 24.  She also had 10 digs.

“We are proud of the fight and resilience of our girls,” Aces head coach Manolo Concepcion said after the match.  “They put up a huge effort throughout the entire tournament.  The best part is that we have a lot of room to improve and the team is determined to continue to do so.”

Tonight’s victory did not come easy as Western Illinois opened the night with wins in the opening two sets.  The Leathernecks earned a 26-24 win in game one before following it up with a 25-23 triumph in the second.  Evansville looked to be in control of the first set, taking a 22-17 lead in a rally that featured a pair of Cornist kills.  WIU fought back with a 6-1 run that tied the game at 23-23.  A Tam kill put UE in position to win the set, but the Leathernecks punched back before taking the 26-24 win.

Western Illinois played their most dominant set in the second, jumping all the way out to a 16-6 lead.  UE fought back with an unbelievable 16-4 run to take a 22-20 lead.  Keying that was a 7-0 stretch that saw dos Santos post three service aces in a row.  Trailing 22-21, WIU turned the tables with a 4-0 stretch that clinched the set.

The Purple Aces never hung their heads and their efforts paid off with a 27-25 victory in the third stanza.  Down 15-14, Evansville scored three in a row thanks to a pair of Tam kills.  The Leathernecks made their way back, tying it up at 21-21, but two more kills by Tam and one from Fortuny put UE in position to win the set, up 24-21.  The Leathernecks had the answer once again, registering four points in a row to put themselves in position to win the match.  Fortunately for UE, a WIU service error tied the set before a Tam kill clinched the 27-25 win.

Game four was another that came down to the final points of the day.  Neither team led by more than three tallies and the competitive match led to a 21-21 game.  A kill by Tam put the lead back in UE’s hands for good before her 26th of the night forced a fifth set and gave UE a 25-23 win.

The deciding game provided highs and lows for each team.  WIU had the early advantage, jumping out to a 6-1 lead.  Following a timeout, the Aces responded with five in a row to tie the set at 6-6.  Two points later, two Leatherneck errors gave UE a 9-7 lead.  The Aces cruised from there, pulling away for a 15-11 win to clinch the 3-0 start to the year.

“Happy Anniversary To The Guy In My Life Who likes To Ski In The Trees. Love, MM”

GAVEL GAMUT

By Jim Redwine

AH, I REMEMBER IT WELL

August 25th. Ah, I now remember it well, thanks to Peg who sweetly asked me over our first cup of coffee, “Jim, isn’t this just a beautiful morning?” I looked up from the trial transcript I was proofreading and grunted, “Yeah”. Things went downhill from there.

As Peg had interrupted my work I assumed she would be pleased to get me some more coffee; so I held up my cup and said as politely as Oliver Twist, “More”. 

Her response threw me off: “It’s in the coffee pot. Why don’t you see if you can pour your own while I concentrate on making the bed, emptying the dishwasher, feeding the cat, sweeping the floor and pulling the weeds in the garden? By the way, Happy Anniversary!”

I went into a crisis-recovery mode. “Are you sure, I thought it was the 25th.”

“Today IS the 25th and you should already know that since I made a point of telling you yesterday on August 24th that I was planning your favorite dinner for today. Of course, you had your head stuck in that transcript then and merely mumbled something like ‘Okay’”.

Thinking at warp speed I said, “Oh what a grand wedding it was on such a gorgeous day.”

“We got married in a thunderstorm! You kept telling me ‘It never rains on August 25th so we can have the wedding outside’. But our family and guests had to dodge lightning bolts and huge raindrops!”

“Well, at least our D.J. stayed dry.”

“Our D.J. was Rodney Fetcher and he had to set up in the tool shed so he wouldn’t get electrocuted!”

“Yeah, he did a great job. Remember, we did our first dance to Here Comes the Sun by George Harrison.”

“It was Today by Randy Sparks of the New Christy Minstrels.”

“Anyway, you looked great in that blue dress.”

“It was coral to match your tux. Which, by the way, you managed to spill our champagne toast on.”

I decided to take an old friend’s advice for situations such as this, “When in a hole the first thing is to stop digging.” 

“Okay, what do you want to do to celebrate this happy occasion? Dinner at the Red Geranium? A quiet glass of wine out by the fire pit? Whatever sounds good to you will be fine with me.”

“I would have appreciated it if you had simply remembered that we did, in fact, get married.”

“I do remember and it was, I mean is, wonderful. It was just that it snuck up on me. Would a movie help?”

“No movie, no Red Geranium, no wine by the fire. How about just a card or at least some flowers?”

Oh, Gentle Reader, I don’t know about you but all I can hear going on in my head is the duet by Hermione Gingold and Maurice Chevalier from the musical Gigi. Perhaps Peg will allow me up from the canvas if I bring home a box of chocolates with the Lerner and Loewe lyrics taped to them:

“The dazzling moon,

There was none that night.

The month was June 

It was [August}; 

That’s right …”

Well, you get the idea. I’m just glad we have only one anniversary per year because the chill in the air at JPeg Ranch is not conducive to my getting my work done and anything else is completely out of the question.
