Gentofte

For whatever reason, we didn't play very well on Saturday. Whether it was because a couple of our guys were affected by playing against their old club as has been posited other places, or whether Gentofte had a good game plan and played well, or whether our numerous injuries are starting to catch up with us or whatever else doesn't really matter. We played one really good set and ended up doing enough to win. Really though, the match could have easily been 3-1 to Gentofte and it could just have easily been 3-0 to us, so there wasn't a big difference between the two teams.

One of the biggest factors was our inability to win any points in our own serve. I think it was a combination of not serving well enough and Gentofte passing/siding out really well. Clearly though, we didn't block or play defense at an acceptable level. Hopefully we'll be able to do a better job of that in the future.

After experiencing both teams, it's hard to imagine Gentofte losing to Aalborg like they did last weekend, but I guess surprise is the spice of life...

We're on pace for an absurd three matches played in a span of like eight weeks. Aalborg next weekend and then another huge pause for the national team. Any rhythm as far as playing is concerned is basically gone at this point.
