The way we assist Katrinas most vulnerable survivors in rebuilding their lives over the long haul will be a litmus test - and can be a model - of how we must proceed as a nation in closing the gaping divide in this country. The world is watching us.

I was pleased with how we played.

There is always things to work on - we need to be a little more consistent in our serving, and I want us to be a little more consistent hitting. As a coach, you are always striving for perfection and if we will keep playing at this level, I feel really good about the team.

We are working on consistency and playing at that high level that we are capable of playing at and I think if we continue to do that good things lay ahead for us.

We came back the fourth game and were re-focused and played the way we were supposed to play and won, 25-13. To be honest, all three games should have been about that score.

Hailey wasn't here, so we had people playing out of position and in new positions, so the combination of not being familiar with certain rotations and then the first game came so easy that we just lost our focus in the second game.

We talked about wanting to maintain the type of play that we had this past weekend and the girls came out and did that. They came out and played three solid games and played well, and the scores reflect that.

Everybody did a great job tonight and we have 10 players that when they all play together and they play at the level that they can play at, I think we can be a pretty good team.

Chisum came back in the second game and they were trying to put some pressure on us. It stayed close for a little while before a timeout and then we went on a 10-3 run.
