They said it – Head Coach Peggy Martin
On the first day of the Rollins Invitational
"I think our team is disappointed that we could not play better against a good Charleston team. I do credit them for fighting to come back and make it close. Barry really dominated from start to finish, we struggled on the block. Offensively we were ok, but blocking was an issue. Credit to their setter for confusing our block."
