Coachs Remarks

"This was a tough one. We got off to a good start and managed to go up 2-0 on a talented Chicago team. They stepped up their energy and we lost some of ours.  It was tough after the third. We just ran out of gas.  Credit Chicago for putting good serves on us, and we weren't able to side out efficiently. Jenna Damon gave us everything she had. Forty digs is something you won't see very often. She is such a tough player and gives it everything she has. Molly Skoda had a very good night passing and staying aggressive. We get to take a few days off and then hit the road against some tough opponents. This team is resilient and we will bounce back and come out fighting."
