"I thought we played pretty consistently throughout the day" said Head Coach
Peggy Martin. "It was very hot in the gym and our depth really helped us when playing three matches in one day. Cassidy Sterrett was consistent on the defense, serving, passing, and digging. I also thought that
Emily Greim gave us a really nice effort off the bench."
