“Although last night was disappointing with the loss, it showed us what we really need to focus and improve on this week in order to finish out regular season strong,” said head volleyball coach Abby Crowser. “Century is a good team and in order to win against them, everyone needs to perform and we need to play well. We struggled with getting a good pass on serve receive throughout the match which made setting up our offense difficult. We learn from what happened, practice to improve and move on. We are looking forward to getting in the gym on Monday to prepare for the upcoming week ahead.”
