I thought Taconic played well. They've really improved over the course of the season. We missed a few too many serves tonight. Hopefully, we can iron that out in practice.

We're a stronger team than we were last year. If we can play like we played tonight, we probably have a good shot.

We didn't change anything. We started passing really well. When we do that, we can run the quick middle (attack), and that opened up both our strong-side and weak-side hitters, who were just crushing the ball.

Our attention ebbs and tides. We looked to the mainstream sports and how they stay in front of the audience.

This series will generate collective interest and excitement at a level that has not existed between our great events in the past. The result of these marathons partnering together is increased visibility, exposure and growth for marathon running.
