We always have a nice little rivalry with them so it's a nice way to start the season, beating a county rival.

Yeah, obviously you're always disappointed when you lose. But I'm not disappointed in my girls at all. They played with heart. There were times when nobody was talking and we didn't show the leadership we needed. Then it just kind of broke down.

Our hitting and attacking was strong and our serving was good for the most part. They served aggressively.

They've been with our program and a lot of them play year-round so they're a lot more confident.

Serving ... that's one of the things we've been talking about. We gave them the points to win the game by missing our serve.

We were a little nervous at first, but they started pulling it together a little bit more at the end of the first game.
