“Lizzie ran our offense really well tonight and got a lot of hitters involved. Allie and Carly had really strong nights at the net and McKenna and Ashley were really consistent on defense tonight. It's nice to see it all coming together for them. It was a true team effort tonight and I know our girls were all playing for our seniors. I am so proud of all our girls.”
