Thoughts from Coach Briscoe:

"Thankful to finish day one of the tournament 2-0. We made adjustments in each match and executed well in crucial moments. We did a great job from the service line and put pressure on teams which kept them out of system. We had some great performances from some of our pin hitters and good offensive stats on the day for the team as a whole. Just looking for a good night's rest and getting back to it tomorrow!"
