Head Coach Shelly Schulenberg says her team executed better after the first set, and that helped lead to the win. "I told the girls after that first set they just have to eliminate the errors. We have to keep our intensity up, we have to play our game. And that's what they came out and did. So far several of our games our second set has been our best set. And we played well, and those are the sets we've been winning. In our third set we kind of faltered again, but they dug deep and knew they could win, and got it for us."
