"First of all, I would like to thank God for the blessings he has given me! Coaching these amazing players and working with an incredible staff is a gift from God! What a battle! North Park is a very good team and kept the pressure on us the whole night. We kept battling and had chances in 2 of the sets we lost to finish them, but instead, they got the last push! Credit to North Park and their staff for earning the win. We are disappointed, but it's been a fun year with so much growth from this team! Molly Skoda was our lone senior, and we are so grateful for all she has contributed to the program over the last four years!! Liv Carel really tried to put the team on her back and push us over the finish line. Katie Boston and Liv had some clutch blocks, and Molly, Kaitie Rohe, and Jenna Damon had some big digs to keep us in each set. Devinn Bell and Kiley McCarthy ran our offense, and Devinn had some big kills and blocks, and Kiley had some great hustle plays. Leena Ajibola is another energizer and leader and I thought she played well. We had so many contributions from so many players tonight and throughout the season. Thanks to Nate, Kelsey, our trainer Taylor and our amazing fans for all the support!"
