They played well for the third set, but not enough to take the win. I am so proud of how these girls adapted and supported each other."

"We had seventh-graders come up to help even when it included not playing their normal position. I am so pleased with the game that they played. They hustled, encouraged each other and have a serving percentage of 92%. They should hold their heads up high."
