Coachs Remarks

"It was a team effort tonight! Liv Carel and Molly Skoda were big on offense tonight! I thought our setters, Tatum Kebisek and Kiley McCarthy did a nice job distributing the ball. We had some tough serves to start the match and that pressure got them out of system. The next two sets were tight and around 17-18 point in each set we stepped up and pulled away. Jenna Damon and Kaitie Rohe were solid passing and leading us in digs.  Katie Boston had a solid night on offense and blocking! CCIW wins are never easy, and I thought we had great energy on the court and our bench was in it!"
