It was a good match. For the most part, we held our own, especially considering the size difference.

We played pretty error-free volleyball in league. Our serve-receive percentage was in the 90's, and that's huge because mistakes on serve-receive are what give other teams momentum.

It was an easy opener. Overall, I'm pleased with the performance. Our serving (57-for-61) was a little off but I can't complain.

We cut down on errors, especially in serve-receive. We played more solidly than we have in the past. I was pleased to open league with a victory.

They don't have as many skilled players as in the past. They don't have much of an offense and they don't have as many powerful hitters. Their defense is OK.

We're undefeated with the toughest teams behind us. We're confident about finishing on top of league.

Our offense really came alive in the fifth game. We had some excellent serving and (Hilmar wasn't) able to attack anymore and gave us some free balls.

It took a while to get into the groove. We had some jitters in the first game, but we got rid of those and it was exciting to beat Linden.

We weren't in trouble at all the whole match. We only had one serve-receive error and not many hitting errors. We didn't struggle anywhere.
