In SFA's next-to-last home match of the season against McNeese, SFA was able to close out a 3-2 win over the Cowgirls. The match was intense, emotional and featured both a ton of positives and a lot of frustrations as well. In this diary entry, I brain dump and get out those frustrations while also shining plenty of light on SFA's great net defense, stellar play by its outsider hitters, strong offense at the end of sets 3 and 5 and career high efforts from Cambry Saul and Molly Cravens. In a theraputic entry, let's talk about last night against McNeese.

Sophomore Brinkley Reeves went from star senior outside hitter at San Marcos High School & at her club in 2024 to a being a freshman at SFA last year and not seeing court time. This year, Reeves emerged as a strong serving option and due to her strong defensive skills has recently earned the position as the team's libero. In this chat, we talk about all of those adjustments and the emotions that go with them. Recorded at the team hotel in Beaumont, Texas on October 30, 2026.
