Comments;
It wasn’t until the second game when we started to play more like we are capable of. It’s not so much that we won the third but we passed much better and therefore our offense got into the flow of our game. When we pass well the rest of our game picks up and we are a much more effective team. In the third game even C-2 highly rated NCL had trouble with our diverse offense off good passes. In the third we didn’t pass quite as well but I think the biggest aspect we failed on was not taking advantage of opportunities when they presented themselves. Such things as having weaker serve receive players in formation and not getting the serve to them, free balls that came over and we fail to get a solid hard hit out of it, and untimely missed serves. One can not make those kinds of mistakes against a very good team and win. Our strength is in the TEAM. We have to play together as a team, mix it up and get kills when we have opportunities.
