"We played well for much of the match," head coach Greg Reitz said afterwards.  "Our serve and pass improved as the match progressed which helped our offense.  We still have some work to do, but we put ourselves in a better position."

Defensively, Alli Plasencio (Toledo, Ohio/Central Catholic H.S.) picked up 33 digs while Gentile added 18 more.  Vanessa Villarreal (Monroe, Mich./Saint Mary Central Catholic H.S.) added 10 digs.
