Volleyball in 2010

As I’m researching an article to link to about future of volleyball in 2010, the first listing in my Google search is an article on a suicide bombing that kills 95 at a Pakistan volleyball match. How sad! Now volleyball matches are venues for terrorist attacks?! Not a good start for the first day in 2010.

Now, how do I segue to a more positive outlook on 2010?  I think I may have painted myself into a corner. So, I’ll just awkwardly say: on a lighter note… Let’s look at about.com‘s top five volleyball moments of 2009. A cliffhanger, the article only shows #5 and #4, but they’re good so far: #5. USA beats Brazil in World Challenge and #4. Dave Shoji wins 1,000 (U of Hawaii).

Could the top 3 moments include the Penn State’s 3-peat? I’ll be checking back later this week.

Oh and, Happy New Year!
