Coach Culliton commented, "I'm so proud of the team.  It was a team victory 100%, and they finally put a whole game together.  We worked all week on our defense, and it really paid off - they were relentless on defense.  Offensively, the team is playing smarter volleyball, and making great decisions on the attack.  It was a fun game and that showed on all of the ladies' faces...an exciting step forward."
