“We struggled in serve receive against Lubbock Christian and needed to serve more aggressively,” commented head coach Christy Clawson. “Against OLLU, we did a good job keeping our composure and making adjustments. The girls are having to be very versatile since we only have one outside hitter healthy, but they are playing well together. This is a hard working group that is determined to be successful.”
