"Glad to end on a win. We had a consistent push from start to finish. Amanda [Bakonyi] had a great performance and helped us when we needed it most with a block or a kill [7 kills, 5 blocks]. We put a lot of pressure on their offense with a lot of balls blocked back to them. Looking forward to getting a little rest."
