Trojan Candy walked out of the Merle Norman Sand Volleyball Stadium and crossed the street to the Galen Center. The USC Men's Volleyball Team match versus Concordia was scheduled to start at 7:00 p.m. I arrived in time for the game, but could not access the playing court because extra bars were installed around the seating areas for an upcoming boxing match.
Thank goodness, friend Dan Avila (1/16/2009), a "real" USC photographer was on the court taking pictures of the five Seniors who were honored before the game. Dan sent me beautiful pictures for my blog. THANKS, again, Dan!
Our team won the first two sets against Concordia 27-25 and 25-18. After losing the third set 25-21, our Trojans came back to win set four 25-18 and the match.
Dan Avila sent me action photos of Seniors Joey Booth and Maddison McKibbin.
Three Seniors were celebrated in the final huddle by the team.
FIGHT ON, USC Men's Volleyball Team!
Trojan Candy was late to today's first Women of Troy Sand Volleyball game versus Loyola Marymount at 1:00 p.m. I was at a Trojan Guild Board Meeting all morning. I did not realize that Coach Anna Collier was going to honor her three Seniors and two Graduate Students before the first match of the double-header and not before the second match against UCLA. Luckily, friend and "real" USC photographer Dan Avila (1/16/2009) took pictures of the five Honorees. He sent me his pictures to publish in my blog! Thanks so much and FIGHT ON, Dan!
Dan's first picture is of the three Seniors, two Graduate Students and their families and friends.
His second picture is of the five teammates. Senior Kirby Burnham (5/6/2013) , Senior Sam Hirschmann, Graduate Student Natasa Siljkovic (9/2/2010) , Senior Brooke Fournier and Graduate Student Mary Buckingham. FIGHT ON, Kirby! FIGHT ON, Sam! FIGHT ON, Natasa! FIGHT ON, Brooke! FIGHT ON, Mary!
Our Women of Troy swept Loyola Marymount 5-0. During and after the match, Trojan Candy saw several friends in the stadium.
Seen at the SCene:
An update on Reggie. He said that he likes to go to museums. His favorite teams are the Lakers and the Dodgers. Reggie has used up his eligibility with the USC Track Team. He has two classes this semester and will graduate soon with a degree in Sociology. Reggie has signed with Nike, so he is a professional now. Trojan Candy asked him why he chose USC over UCLA. Reggie said that our campus atmosphere "blew him away." Trojan Candy is glad he chose USC! FIGHT ON, Reggie!
