Coach's Comments
The team's performance…
"We have a lot of room for growth, but luckily for us we have another opportunity to come out and get better tomorrow."

Notes for tomorrow…
"Volleyball is a game of serving and passing, if we can lock down those two things, we'll be in much better shape tomorrow."
