Coach's Corner
"As a coaching staff, we are proud of our team. Coming back from an emotional win against Navy last week, the team was focused, determined, gritty and just plain tough. Paige was lights out today. Just incredible volleyball from her, from hitting to blocking and the service line. Allanah had a tough job on blocking today and responded very well. We can also rely on her attack ability. The communication between the front row and backrow was incredible. In order to win, the team's connectiveness is a must; we did that today. We are ready to face another good team tomorrow." - Alma Kovaci Lee
