Quotable
" As a team we were a lot more confident in this match, when we play bigger teams we tend to play up to their level and I could definitely feel the energy of our team throughout the entire match. I believe I was able to get as many kills as I did this afternoon by connecting with Taylor more than I usually do and becoming more aggressive with my swings. Preparing for FIU on Thursday, I am definitely going to continue to come into practice focused and determined to get every detail perfect. Thursday is also 'Sloan Night' (senior night) o, we are definitely going to be playing for her and fighting for the win". – Junior Bailey Mason
