Coach Christa Fabre's Thoughts:
"Proud of the way our team played today. We were able to get a few players in who haven't gotten a lot of in game play and they did so well. Jolie had a great match, she is quick moving along the net and had a strong defensive match as well as a high hitting efficiency. We had great effort on the court and got better as a whole defensively and in first contact today."
