Coach Christa Fabre's Thoughts:
"We let Augusta, an aggressive serving team, take us out of system, and after having control, we allowed the match to slip away from us. That's something we have to own. I was proud of how we responded in the second match. We found a way to win four tight sets, but we still saw the same issues show up in certain rotations and allowed runs that put unnecessary pressure on us. There were some really good moments today, but also some very clear areas where we need to get better. The biggest takeaway is that we have to become more consistent when things aren't going our way."
