"This weekend was another good building opportunity for us. We are learning lessons every time we take the court and I'm excited about where we can go if we can continue to improve. We started slow against Georgetown, but I thought we did a good job of working ourselves into a rhythm. Gritting out the win was a tribute to our fight.
I was impressed by our toughness to show up and compete in a brand-new lineup in the second match today. We had chances to earn the second and fourth sets. We competed hard and made adjustments as the match went on, especially defensively.
Our focus continues to be building to be the best team we can in November and this weekend's competition helped show us some things to improve on this week in practice before our last non-conference tune-up," said head coach Kristin Belzung.
