• "The guys put together 3 consecutive sets of very efficient volleyball.  Credit to Ross Russell and Noah Wissel for running a sharp offense, featuring exceptional balance and awareness in their decision making.  Anytime our team can hit over .300, it's a sign our passers were handling serves well and our hitters understood what Adrian was doing defensively," said Coach Labrador.
