HEAR FROM HEAD COACH SAMANTHA DABBS
"Another tough one for us. We started off slow, but I am proud of the fight and grit our team showed in the third set. We have to learn how to play solid volleyball throughout the entire set and finish sets strong! I thought Madelynn Miller and Alyssa Carlin came in and played solid back row defense for us. Our serving and passing game stayed solid as well."
