“I think we started our season with a pretty tough test in Pennsbury,” coach Kurt Godfrey said. “I thought we were pretty strong at the net tonight. Alyssa and Maddy had some really nice kills and Julia and Allie had a few really key blocks for us.
“Pennsbury is a great team and they are all over the place on defense. They did their best to make it tough for us to put balls down tonight. I thought we played well in set two and three after shaking off the nerves in set one. It just wasn’t quite good enough.
“With a tough test like Pennsbury to start the season, it really shows you what you need to work on and what you are doing well. It’s not the start to the season we wanted, but it’s a long season and we’ll get back to the drawing board, work hard and be ready for our next test on Wednesday night against CB East.”
