Coach’s Comments:

“I can’t explain the start and I sure as heck can’t explain the finish.   We came out in the third set a completely different team and never trailed somehow gaining all the momentum.   I thought Rebecca Glancy really stepped things up in the middle which gave us a presence and we started serving much better as the match progressed.   We need to serve-receive way better if we want continued success.”
