Coach Loftis said after the game, "Our team really showed growth tonight by working together and not letting the ball die. However, at times we struggle to close the point, set, or match.  This is something that we mentally need to overcome as a team. We have work to finish the game and believe in each other.  We can do it, we need to believe it too."

Serving is still a work in progress This week we have had stronger and more confident servers.  We look to improve our percent to our team goal of 93%.   Tonights serving percent was 89.6 %and our team hitting was .153  We have to do the little things to get to the end of the game with a win.  Things we can fix quickly and easily.
