From MSHS Head Coach, Ann Crandell-Williams:
- “Our record may not reflect it, but we made a strong showing today and I’m proud of our team’s consistent play. This tournament had a lot of good competition, and our athletes showed improvement in many aspects of their game. Their defense was strong as usual, serving was consistent, and their offensive game showed definite improvement. We’ve been working on consistently getting solid swings and putting tougher balls across the net, and they did that well today. We are going into our third week of a pretty grueling schedule, but the strength of that is they can just settle in and run their own game. We’re back to work Monday and looking forward to the week ahead, where we have a chance at some big wins.”
