Thoughts from Coach Briscoe

"Our match with Menlo really left a sour taste with the team.  Adversity is an opportunity and we used this opportunity to recommit to the unity that brought us to where we are.  We were a dynamic team today effective all across the net.  By far our strongest offensive effort as a team this season.  Everyone contributed in this match and this was a true team win."
