slu72 fan Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 There will be an alumni match on Saturday at 4:00. A number of recent alums are expected to return for the event. A reception will follow at Humphreys around 6:00. Admission is a donation to SLU Volleyball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonoma bob Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I wish that I could be there. I saw the VB ladies beat X at the Alumni Weekend in 2010, most impressive. In fact after watching lots of VB and very little BB in London, I have to say I enjoyed the VB more. And I'm not only referring to the beach game. I saw the US men play Brazil at USF in an exhibition right before the LA games many years ago. Seeing it in person was amazing. The green & gold fans kept a samba beat going the whole time. The gym was rocking, it was really fun. I'm already looking forward to 2016. Please support the VB ladies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonoma bob Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Did anyone go to this? It must have been sad after the murder of one of the players. How about a report? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Box and Won Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Wasn't the alumni game canceled? I would assume so. The game is the whole reason why Megan Boken was in town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 fan Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 It was not cancelled. My wife and I attended, and went to Humphrey's shortly before the end of the third game for the fundraiser. About 6:00 the Coach's wife came over and told us the event was cancelled, because of the shooting. The girls had just been told, and the school was bringing in professional help for them. Horrible thing. Apparently, her mother was on the phone with her just before the event occurred and the line went dead. She attempted to reach some of the alums at the game, who were unable to help her. There was a general question on where Megan was, since the coaches knew she was in town and expected to attend.

ucan2 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 OMG. This is so upsetting. My heart breaks for her Mom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
