Although they got one set on us, I was proud of the girls for bouncing back and taking the next two with authority. They are playing well together right now, so if we can keep everyone healthy, mind and body. Confidence and fearless play are going to be the keys to our season staying alive. I am excited to see how far this team can go into the postseason! Regardless of the outcome, I am always proud to be their coach and to see them grow as players and as humans!” said Cole.
