Thoughts from Coach Briscoe:

"Had some good moments in the match both on offense and defense, but ultimately overpowered by Vanguard's offense. They did a great job getting the ball on the net and having three options to attack throughout the match. Our serve-receive didn't give us the options necessary to respond with the same offensive effort. We had some good showings from our pins, but ultimately fell short. Not going to look back now. Continuing to focus on what is in front of us with another match tomorrow."
