COACH TOMIC QUOTE
"It wasn't our best performance we've played this season. There were some positives, I thought our defense played well, led by Kallie Seimet; Taylor and Paulina also did their jobs with double digit digs. Offensively, Maddie Brandewie was consistent again today, she had another good match, another efficient match."
