On the match…
I am very proud we were able to come back and gain the victory. Our major focus has been to continue to dominate at the net and defensive while decreasing errors. I feel as though we were able to identify the errors following the first set, we were able to decrease them and pull through the victory. We a team of primarily freshmen, we are maturing and realizing our potential.
