Quotable
Head coach Courtney Draper’s thoughts on the match:
“It was not the way we wanted to finish, but our girls fought until the end. We were exceptionally tough from the serving line, and collected some really nice blocks. There was a tie score 21 times throughout the match, so it was a closely contested match that could have gone either way.”
