The tempo, and offense to defense transition, is not a huge issue against the 1A schools we play, but to beat a bigger team, it's important.

I think we go on the floor expecting to win. I'm happy with that change of mentality. These girls are fighters and they'll fight until it's all done.

It's great to know you can beat a team you've never beaten before. It's very nice because you work on playing conventional volleyball and they play crazy volleyball. It frustrates the fool out of you. But we worked hard, persevering, passing and not giving up even though they dug us.

It has expanded beyond my wildest dreams.

I have to say I was very pleased with the way we played. Everyone played extremely hard, and they were very consistent.

We slowed down the offense and concentrated on defense for a while. This will either tire out the team on offense, or defense. Unfortunately, it wore us down a bit.
