Quotes from the Match
Head Coach Jill Kramer
"Our team came in really locked in and ready to go today which was really cool to see. Day three of a tournament can be really challenging and taxing on your mind and body. We went the extra set last night and then coming back early the next day can be tough. I thought the girls came in ready to go and Tori did a great job of running the offense. We put up really good numbers and just about everybody on our roster played in this match. Overall, it was a great team effort and I thought they were locked in from start to finish which was really great to see."
