Calvary is a team that's rebuilding, so we tried some different combinations in the second and third games. Our intensity dropped off as the match went on, and that's something that can't happen against the better teams.

They're a new program and it's a little tough for them right now.

They were all eager to go. They are happy to be providing assistance that's so desperately needed.

We gave them some points, but on a scale of one to 10 we played a nine.

We were lackluster in our effort and we were outhustled. We had leads in every game, as many as eight points, and were just flat and couldn't hold on. Our hitting wasn't very strong and they returned almost everything we hit.

Their training was only interrupted a couple of days, ... They were able to stay on mission.

It was a good start, but we need to be quicker to the ball and be more active on the court. Our passing and setting were good, but our hitters need to move their arms through the ball faster to develop a higher-velocity attack.

We started out slow, tentative in the first game, but put it together after that. It was a big match for us to establish a top-level position in the league.
