“It was a very exciting and anticipated match,” UD coach Paul Choi said. “CB West and (Upper) Dublin were matched up very well with scores going back and forth. Both teams were very scrappy, letting nothing drop on the floor without some sort of effort leading into long rallies.
“I have to give my team a lot of credit for fighting in what has been a long and tough week, going to five-set matches twice before this match. A lot of players stepped up during the match, and the fact that we were getting a lot of blocks really helped our team gain some momentum.”
