Thoughts from Coach Keller-Galley

"I am really proud of the fight we showed on Friday.  If a couple points here and there had fallen the other way, it could have been a completely different ball game.  And on Saturday it was some of the worst weather I have ever seen at a volleyball game.  Although the match did not go how we wanted, it was quite the experience playing in such crazy rain and wind and it was a learning experience for us all.  There were a lot of nerves coming into this weekend and I am excited to see us progress from here!"
