grown heady last wise
She has grown tremendously from last year. She's a wise and very heady setter.
impressed nice saw team
Fayetteville is pretty scrappy. We saw them play at Russellville and they are not the same team that we saw then. They did a really nice job. I was really impressed with the way Fayetteville was playing.
aggressive played proud tight type
We played really well as a team. I was really proud of them for being aggressive and not getting tight like we have before in those type games.
biggest court leader role servant strength
I think probably her biggest strength is she's a role model. You won't find her doing things off the court that don't set the right example. She's a servant leader and teacher.
opportunity waiting
She's been ready. She's just been waiting for that opportunity to come in and she had it tonight. She did well.
club consistent defensive jump played reads strong volleyball
She's played club volleyball and softball. She's our defensive specialist. She's very consistent on the back row. She reads well and is very, very quick. She has a very strong jump serve.
dependable hit solid
She is very dependable and will find a way to hit a hole. She's very solid in her technique.
came couple girls goals played
We came down here with a couple of goals and I think we accomplished them. We are disappointed that we didn't get the win, but the girls played really hard.
apply came mature move next picked proud receive serve stop third weak
We came out and our serve receive picked up. Our serve receive was weak that third game, but we were able to stop it and move forward. And that's getting more mature when you can apply something and stop it for that next game. I was really proud of them for that.
develop difficult hungry
They are hungry and that is difficult to develop and germinate. But, they want to get back there (to state) and go further.
blocking mitchell played sarah
Our blocking was phenomenal. Andrea Mitchell and Sarah Payne, my setters, also played with a lot of intensity.
