Wright's Words
"We played a nice match defensively and Rocio was oustanding overall tonight," head coach
Kristen Wright said. "The key was their middles' ability to score as much as they did. Lipscomb did a nice job slowing us down at the service line and we didn't get them out of system as much as we would have liked. I really like the fight we showed in set two and when we can become consistent in drive and execution we are a team that can compete with anyone."
