ASU Women's Volleyball Makes Big Waves

In This Article:

The Women's Volleyball team has had some impressive wins over the length of the season so far, upsetting and sweeping both #12 Oregon and, for the first time since 2012, #15 Washington. They currently stand at 41st in the nation and rank ahead of Arizona, Colorado, Utah, California, and Oregon State in the Pac-12. As of now, they have a very impressive overall record of 13-7, which will hopefully increase in the following week as they face off against both Utah and California, both games being at home.

They've put up some very impressive stats that other Pac-12 and non-conference teams should be wary of when playing ASU. After upsetting Washington, both middle blockers, Senior Carmen Unzue, and Sophomore Megan Beedie combined for a total of 15 kills against the Huskies. Along with hitters, Senior Alyse Ford, Sophomore Claire Kovensky, and Junior Ivana Jeremic all contributing to produce 18 kills in the game versus Washington.

Even the Freshman class is getting their due share, with Keelie Leblanc getting her first start against Binghamton, Paige Denton who currently has 4 digs so far across all her last five games played this season, and an outstanding performance by Avital Jaloba with 9 kills, 6 digs, and 12 blocks from her last five games played.

Despite losing their last match in a Five-Set Thriller against USC, a notable and praise-worthy performance by Claire Kovensky with 17 kills and 2 blocks, Ivana Jeremic with 15 Kills and 2 blocks, Alyse Ford with 12 kills and a block, and Maddie Beedie with 8 kills and 6 blocks. A great performance all around, just not enough to hold back a volleyball powerhouse like USC, but nevertheless, it was a great game.

What's important to take note of is what Head Coach Sanja Tomasevic, has done to implement a culture of winning and helping these young women achieve their goals, not just in terms of volleyball, but in life in general.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
