It was Senior Night for three Red Raider players, Michelle Flores, Brandi Hood, and Amanda Sbragia. Sadly for the seniors (and the broader Texas Tech volleyball community), the team lost to Kansas State to finish 0-20 in Big 12 play this season; going back to last season, Tech has lost 39 straight conference matches. Not surprisingly, Saturday night's match was the last for Coach Nancy Todd, ending her six-year stint with the Raiders.
Shown on top are some shots I took during the warm-ups (I wouldn't want to risk distracting the players with flash photography during actual game action). In the lower right-hand corner, your trusty analyst is shown, serving the ball during a contest between Games 2 and 3 that was open to all members of the audience. A dozen or so pizza boxes are placed on the court on the other side of the net, and anyone whose serve lands on a box wins a pizza or other prize. I didn't hit a pizza box, but I'm proud to say my serve landed in-bounds!
The season isn't over for Kansas State, however, as the Wildcats will be participating in the NCAA tourney.
