One plus side about my job at the Hilton is that I get to work, alongside with my co-worker, with the sports teams coming into our hotel. Imagine my excitement when I realized that volleyball teams were amongst those coming! I really enjoy watching the sport of volleyball. I think it is such an awesome game and I am always amazed by what the players can do!
This weekend marked our first set of volleyball teams at the hotel. To add to the excitement, I found out that one of the former players at Mercer is now an assistant at Villanova, and I would get to see her at the hotel! Julie was a junior when I started my two-year graduate assistantship at Mercer and so we got to spend two seasons together. She is such a wonderful girl, and I was super excited that I would be seeing her in North Carolina!
Furthermore, to add to the excitement was that Penn State, the two-time defending national champions, would be playing Villanova at the Carolina Classic at UNC. By the time I found all of this out, I was just giddy!!
So Brett and I headed out to Chapel Hill to watch the Nittany Lions of Penn State take on the Wildcats of Villanova. It was a good match and it was just great to be back in the volleyball atmosphere! Here are a few pictures from the match:

These girls were huge and amazing!!
It was great to see the match and to see Julie! I can't wait until Mercer comes to play at NC State in a couple of weeks!!
