Serra is a solid team. They get off the ball quickly and run the ball hard. They were what we expected.

They were a really tough team and went after the ball hard, but we could have boxed them out better. We could have gone after the ball harder. It was stuff that we could have controlled that we didn't.

They just double-team so hard. At times they would just take the ball away from me. I couldn't see the weak side to find that open man. We know we can play. We have learned from the experience of playing without McGrady and know we can still compete.

I just want to see him run the offense, make good decisions, get rid of the ball quickly. I know the physical part will be there, the accuracy, everything else. I know he'll do that. But just to make sure he's focused in and running the offense.

Our team is slowly coming together. Rider led the way and was solid at the libero position. Not only was she able to dig the ball, but she passed to target which jump-started our offense. And Vasquez controlled the net.

They have very good athletes on their team, ... They have some kids who can really run the ball. We've been concentrating on taking away the things they do best.
