COACH GARLACY'S COMMENTS
"While we didn't have a great serve pass match, our setters did a great job getting the ball to the hot hand. Sophomore Lea Mackey really stepped up at the net. She came up with some big kills when we needed it. Nina Gavin also had a breakout match hitting .500. Brookelyn stepped up as well, leading us in total points."
