Thoughts from Coach Bruns
"It is rare that you get to see a team this quick again. USK did a good job rolling with the momentum and we need to clean up our contacts from serve receive and the service line if we want to come out with a "W". We will be making a few lineup adjustments as this is a new squad and we need to find what works for us."

The Firestorm started the season 1-0 but have since dropped four straight. On Saturday, the ACU came up short 3-2 at Westcliff. Paul Rolland delivered 20 kills.
