I was very pleased with all of our hitters tonight.  They were very efficient and swung to terminate.  Dottie and Ella combined for 17 kills on the left side tonight.  They were moving the ball around, and they were swinging hard when they could.

Taylor Vanek was an offensive weapon at the serving line.  26 for 26 with 7 aces.   She was moving the ball around well.

Defensively we made some nice plays, Natalie ran some tough balls down tonight, and Taylor and Finley did a great job of seeing the hitter and being in the right position to dig balls.

The girls wanted to get to 30 wins and tonight they came out focused on that goal.  I am very happy for them and they deserved this.  We have had some ups and downs but the best rides have ups and downs so that’s just fine.
