Thoughts from Coach Briscoe:

"Great way to end the weekend for the girls. We came out slow in the match but brought up the intensity as it went on. We put a lot of pressure on them with tough serving. We played a smarter game today being more patient for the right opportunity instead of error-ing out on a play that just isn't there. Good opportunity to get some rest and recoup before another three-match week!"
