Guad's Notes from EIVA Semis, 4/30/09

I had the opportunity to take in the EIVA semifinal match last night in Happy Valley.

Plenty of Nittany Legends were in the house. Stew Russell, Donny Tobin, Ron Smith, Bobby Faux, Shakes, Z, GT and probably one or two others that I missed.

Max Holt goes back to serve in game 1. First serve bounces in front of their Libero. 1-0. Next serve gets shanked off the arms of the passer into the face of the guy next to him, dislodging his contact lens. 2-0. Two more aces and it was essentially over before Mason got a chance to serve.

Saturday at 7, EIVA finals vs Juniata. If you are within driving distance, be there. The Booster Club is arranging a post-match gathering at Champs on Atherton Street. I'll be back to everyone on Sunday with thoughts about next week.
