COACH GARLACY'S COMMENTS
"What an amazing battle we put forth today. Effort, grit and determination extended this match to five sets after dropping the first two. We saw a very successful first appearance by McKenna as well as Claudia's first appearance at libero. Both were game changers in this match. Tough serving frustrated the Johnnie's and our blocking kept us in this match. So proud of this team and their unfailing support of each other."
