Coach Joel Allman states that he is looking for more consistency from his team in order finish the season strong.

“So our passing has improved a lot. Our hitting is good at times, and at other times we are hitting balls out or into the net, and our serving has been inconsistent. I said earlier that we are looking for more consistent performances from girls. We are looking for them to step up and do their job as well as possible, and if we do that we are going to be a tough team for anyone to beat.”
