build challenged choose confidence control definitely finish girls good match nice note ourselves positions putting struggle successful
We definitely challenged ourselves by not putting ourselves in positions to be successful at times. All of our girls struggle with that so it was good to finish on the note they did on a nice 6-0 run. That's what you build on and that's what you take to have that confidence to know you can control the match when you choose to.
crucial quick starts tempo
Quick starts are crucial for us. If we can do that, we play much better when we're controlling the tempo and controlling the pace.
good looking opportunity people ready season towards work
Everything now is looking towards the end of the season and we need people to be ready if we need them. It was a good opportunity to work on some things and try people in different spots.
gone job joy last looking seriously setting summer takes utterly year
We were looking to have her be one of the setters this summer and she'd gone from not setting last year to setting part-time this summer to setting full-time. To do the job she's done is utterly amazing. She takes it very seriously and she has been such a joy for us.

I thought we, all things considered, maintained our focus fairly well. Especially in that first game as we didn't get into any ruts.

The first game was fantastic. We were right with them and had the lead for awhile.
