"Coming home to Tarble for a Wednesday match with NCC with road conference win! It is so hard to travel in the CCIW and win. This conference is great from top to bottom. I am proud of our fight today as a unit. Owen Hendricks, Zack Noland, and Owen Otto passed the ball incredibly well today and allowed the offense to flourish under Ryan Morey. The digs in middle back were particularly impressive today. The guys off the bench gave us a great lift in big moments. Joe Kolwicz and Jack McDonald were serving the ball well, Ruben Emmerich brings us so much energy, Devon OCallaghan and Austin Mallory are impressive defenders and extend rallies. This group is so much fun to coach because all 20 guys can make impacts on matches. We need everyone to come out on Wednesday to help us Defend Tarble vs North Central!"
