QUOTED
- "After our close match vs Loyola, I was hoping we would respond with a better performance today. We did just that! Attack, block, serve and pass all were on focus and we are now in a position to finish the season with a possible highest seed and home court. Many players had good matches. Zeynep, Olivia, and Helena all contributed well. Kristen covers the back row with the best of them. Sochacka was very good and our middles were good competitors. Chiara was back with a competitive serve and produced great results. An all around great win!" - Head Coach Barry Goldberg
