"The team was able to find a groove against the Wolfpack on Tuesday night winning in two sets 25-16 and 25-19. Then we had the opportunity to play Pender for the first time this season. We won the first set but lost the next two 25-27. Their play caught us off-guard a little bit, we made some critical errors and Pender was able to execute when it mattered most. We will see Pender again during the season and at the end. We will have to find another level of focus and intensity to come out on top” stated Coach Sara Franzluebbers.
