Coach Singleton expressed her disappointment in the teams’ first match efforts, “We looked slow and unmotivated in match one,” she then continued, “match two however, I felt like we played some good volleyball. Our defense looked better and we got more going on offense. The door was open in set five of match two and we did not finish. Hopefully this is a learning experience for this young team.”
