The girls didn't quit and just kept on plugging through. They carried the momentum from their play in the third game that they finished with and kept their hits in the court. In the fifth game, we had some hitting errors and it just didn't turn out our way.

We played much tougher, even though the score didn't show it. We didn't quit like we have in the past. The girls kept trying.

It was an exciting game. The girls played hard and it was close most of the way.

The girls played really hard tonight. I'm pleased with the way we ran up and down the court. It's a good way to start league.

She is one of the strongest girls I've ever met and when she connects on a ball, it has a tendency to go a long way. She fractured a finger a couple of weeks ago and has been hampered by that, so it was nice to see her come back and drive the ball like she can.

This was a great game for us. We've been really banged up with some injuries and illnesses. The girls forgot all about that and just came out and played hard.
