THOUGHTS FROM COACH
"We didn't get the outcome we were hoping for tonight. I saw some really great plays in tonight's game, but we struggled with finishing a set and staying consistent throughout the match. We have great defense and great passing, but need to work on our first ball kills. We have another great team ahead of us tomorrow. So if we work to get them out of system and we side out quickly we should have a great game!"
UP NEXT
The Warriors will take on Cal State San Bernardino on Saturday, September 18
