Happy Holidays from the SCC VB Team!

The SCC Volleyball Team recently had their annual Christmas dinner and holiday card photo last week. The team first headed to the mall to get their picture taken with Santa Claus (I think he was very excited to be surrounded by 11 lovely ladies)! Carri Peterson was not pictured, she was still snowed in, in Illinois! We missed her for sure!

After that the team headed over to Gator's for a nice dinner and some much needed catching up! Everyone seemed VERY excited for the month break coming up and not so excited about their final exams :) It was great to get everyone together one more time before the spring semester kicks off. We wish you and your family a wonderful and safe holiday season and we THANK YOU for your support in 2009! Can't wait to see what's in store for the team in 2010.

  
Here is the slideshow I shared with the girls.

SCC Volleyball in the Community

I am a little late in reporting this on our blog, but I thought that the team's community projects deserved some recognition!

In September the team participated in the Walk for Wishes sponsored by the Iowa Chapter of the Make a Wish Foundation. The team collected donations and then met at Crapo Park to participate in the walk.

 
The team also participated in the national effort to combat breast cancer. Dig Pink! The team sold pink t-shirts and collected donations at the gate during our October 21st game against St. Ambrose JV. The team also wore pink t-shirts and handed out pink ribbons in honor of those affected by this disease. Even the officials wore pink! 

Look for more community service projects this winter and spring from this team!

  

SuCCessful Season Completed

Sorry for the huge gap between entries! In the heart of the season we were busy, busy, busy!! Mostly winning matches, going 28-10 on the 2009 season! Finishing 3rd in the conference!

We lost to conference powerhouse, DMACC in a Regional semi-final. DMACC then defeated Kirkwood then next day to advance to the NJCAA National Tournament at the Wisconsin Dells (they finished 5th at the tourney), congrats to DMACC on their success!

But, let's not forget the SuCCess of the Blackhawk Volleyball team!! 28 wins (the most since 1992 when Coach Ritter's team went 35-5), giving Coach Reid her 100th victory and the post season honors as seen below...

Way to go girls!! The team is proud of you!!

So now that the season is over :( The girls are busy getting ready for final exams and the much anticipated Xmas break!

We will be celebrating at a team on December 10th in our end of the season banquet at Big Muddy's and our annual Xmas card picture (look for this soon)!

We will be having an open gym on Sunday after the men's 1:00 basketball game. Open to our potential recruits! We are looking forward to welcoming these girls into our team hopefully in the near future!

Be sure to check out the men's bball team and women's bball team as they are well underway with their 2009-2010 season!

Until next time... GO BLACKHAWKS!!
