Witt VB's Experiece in Atlanta!

   Over this past weekend, Wittenberg's volleyball team traveled to Atlanta Georgia to play in a tournament hosted by Emory University.  The trip was primarily for competition purposes, but each player got much more out of the experience. 

   First things first, we flew to Atlanta.  The majority of us on the team had flown before; however, for one freshman, it was her first flying experience and surely she will remember it! We all were comforting her pre-flight butterflies and the flight staff even provided her with a set of pilot's wings to calm her anxiety. Once we took off, she was able to relax and even laugh a little as the flight attendent mentioned our team's presence on the plane and encouraged applause from the people on board with us. 

   As far as the volleyball aspect of the trip, it went very well! We won all three of our matches and of particular importance, we beat the #6 ranked team in the nation, Emory University.  That set the tone for the entire trip! We also enjoyed shopping and experiencing downtown Atlanta at a shopping mega-center where we had a very unique and delicious dinner at a place called Yard's House.  Many of us were sad to see our weekend getaway to Atlanta end as our plane took off and would shortly thereafter touch down in Dayton Ohio.  But even if it was only two and a half days of Atlanta, it was two and a half days that our team will never forget!
