Sophomore libero CC Weir led the defense and contributed three aces while her sophomore counterpart Chelsea Gallagher had three kills and nine digs.
“I think we were still a little banged up and emotionally spent from Saturday,” coach Brian Bassler said of his team’s second place finish at the Quakertown Tournament. “But we found a way to pull out some tight games and dig out of some holes early on against a very tough opponent.
“We have been finding some ways to win these matches, and I give this group a lot of credit. It really is all a mental thing with this team, and I can see them growing and gaining confidence, and hopefully, we can survive this stretch and get the girls some rest.”
Bassler lauded the effort of Weir.
“She was amazing defensively,” he said.
