COACH'S QUOTE
"It was nice to get some of the subs in. Sarah Black did a really great job. She set up the block very nice on the right side when we put her in back row, she almost played a perfect game. Brooke Manley terminated the ball very well down the line. Overall just a good match by every player. " - Coach Cathy Kokel
