We battled through insane illnesses and injuries, more than a few close but heartbreaking losses, and pulled out a few really nice wins.
"I am going to miss these seniors, and I wish they had a chance to play in a few more matches. Our program will miss each and every one of them, and I hope they come back to visit often. That's what being a volleyball family is all about... you love the time you spend together and always look forward to the next time you see them.”
