We had prepared well during practice this week and knew if we played our game, the outcome would be in our favor. Our defense and our hitters came out really strong in the first couple of sets. As a team, our attack was very efficient. Sammie, Lauren, Brindelyn, and Juliana all hit at a higher percentage tonight, making it tough on Bethany. Emma had 45 assists and on defense, Kenna had 37 digs. Those numbers will put us in a good position to win games the majority of the time."
