Alex will be here later to give you updates on the Westlake and Fox Lane games.

I’m going home to watch the Jets game.

10:30 a.m. - Sailors went up 18-11. Stephanie Gmeiner is in off the bench to serve. Make that 19-11 with a short hit by the K-train set up by librero Kristin Pelaccio.

10:07 a.m. - The Sailors are up 14-8.

10 a.m.  - The Sailors are out to a quick 5-1 lead under the serving of Sareeta Nethersole. The Hen Hud fans are serenading her.

Red Hook has lost their momentum with the loss of their starting setter. They are going to need to pick it up to stay with the Sailors.

9:54 a.m. - Sailors finished out the game with ease, 25-15.

9:51 a.m. -The match is about to resume. Samantha Rapoli steps in for the Raiders at setter. Let’s wait and see how this changes the Raiders came and if the Sailors can further capitalize.

9:49 a.m.  -The word is that Red Hook’s setter broke her nose. Still waiting for the official word but the Sailors are trying to keep warm.

9:44 a.m. – This stop and go play cannot be good for either teams play. Since we are on an official time out. I’ll take the opportunity to give you some unofficial stats from my own stat sheet. Kami has seven kills and two blocks.

Danielle Girard from Red Hook is having a good morning, picking up what she can from the Sailors and throwing a lot back their way. She’s only a freshmen but her talent is already above most.

9:39 a.m. - Setter Jackie Tamburri is getting in on the kill action with a big kill off a Red Hook put back to put the Sailors up 21-15.

Red Hook setter Krissy Mulpeter appears to have a bloody nose. Play is delayed to check out her injury.

9:37 a.m.- Time out called. The Sailors are up 19-14. The K-train is officially warmed up and going full speed.

9:32 a.m – Amazing save by Kami Nethersole off a low pass from Jackie Tamburri. Tamburri was able to hit the ball over the net while still trying to stand up. Sailors up 13-9.

9:27 a.m. - Sailors tied it at 5-5 with a big kill by Ragin Jackson.

9:25 a.m. – Hen Hud starting off cold goes down 3-0.

9:24 am. – Finally starting!

9:20 a.m. - Still waiting for the lights and scoreboard to start working. The teams have started to warm-up again. I’ve almost been hit with five volleyballs so far. Hopefully it will stay at almost though Kami Nethersole just spiked one my way. I caught it though no worries. I’m still here.

9:08 a.m. - Waiting for the power to restore but we are waiting for them before starting.  The fans are already making some noise in the stands.

Just a reminder, Red Hook is 18-1. They had a bye going into this round so we’ll have to see how they play today without a four hour drive just a few days earlier. The Sailors look ready to play.

We will have to see how the delay effects the two teams games.

9:02 a.m. - We’re going to play! Hoping a back up generator kicks on soon though. It’s a little dark on the court.

9 a.m. -Looks like we’re having some power issues here at SUNY New Paltz. Hopefully, the games will start soon.

8:39 a.m. -  I just arrived in New Paltz. Hen Hud will face off against Red Hook in just 20 minutes. Both teams look ready to go. The Sailors look to be in top form.
